2-22
I am pleased to present, for the seventh consecutive year, this Integrated Annual Report for Fibra Danos, an exercise in transparency that reaffirms our firm´s adherence to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. This report reflects our progress and achievements in 2024, as well as our ongoing effort to bolster our position as a responsible, resilient company committed to sustainable development.
Since our inception, sustainability has been at the core of our strategy. More than an aspiration, it has been a conviction expressed in our day-to-day operations and our long-term decisions.
Today we are proud to share that for the first time, we have been included in S&P Global's 2025 Sustainability Yearbook, a distinction that recognizes companies with the highest standards of performance and transparency in sustainability globally. This achievement not only reflects the work of an entire team, but also inspires us to continue elevating our practices to create value for our stakeholders.
The solid corporate governance that guides our actions is grounded in the experience, technical capacity, and reputation of the people who make up our ESG Committee, whose functions are fully aligned with the goals of the Technical Committee. This structure has been key to incorporating sustainability into the heart of our operations, with a cross-cutting vision that supports strategic decision-making for the benefit of our portfolio, our employees, and the communities where we operate.
One of the fundamental pillars of our ESG strategy is collaboration with our value chain. During this past year, we strengthened alliances with strategic suppliers to extend our sustainability practices beyond the scope of our direct operations, with the goal of reducing potential risks and promoting more responsible management in keeping with our principles.
In operational terms, we further strengthened our capacity to measure and control environmental indicators through a robust environmental information gathering system that covers all areas under operational control. We use various tools to monitor electricity and water consumption and waste generation, so that we can pinpoint opportunities for improvement, increase efficiency in our operations, and reduce our use of natural resources.
We made particularly significant progress in the environmental area in 2024, such as the installation of our first smart energy storage system, in which we replace peak-hour energy with off-hour energy.
We installed more than 10,400 solar panels in various properties in our portfolio, which prevented the emission of 1,383 metric tons of CO2 equivalent and reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 17% compared to our base year (2019).
Our long-term goal remains firm: to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Water efficiency also improved due to our use of wastewater treatment plants, which allowed us to reuse more than 404 megaliters of water in 2024. We also recycled more than 2,600 metric tons of waste, reaffirming our commitment to resource stewardship.
In the social sphere, we recognize that the growth of our employees is the foundation for our organization's success. We foster a work culture focused on trust, inclusion, and respect, creating an environment that promotes the comprehensive development of each person and values diversity as a source of strength.
Promoting and respecting human rights has always been a cornerstone of our social management, both within the organization and throughout our value chain. In 2024, we took important steps by building awareness and through ongoing training programs. And for the first time, we worked in tandem with UNICEF, focused on raising awareness about children's rights.
Our properties are much more than retail, industrial, or office spaces: they are centers for social cohesion, inclusion, and community building. That is why we make them magnets for cultural, recreational, and educational activities that strengthen the social fabric of neighboring communities and contribute to collective well-being. We also have a comprehensive program aimed at monitoring and improving tenant health and well-being, always attending to their needs.
In summary, 2024 was a year of concrete achievements that reflect our long-term commitment to building a sustainable, innovative, and socially responsible company. We know that there are still areas of opportunity to be addressed, but we are confident that our principles, our organizational culture, and the commitment of the entire Fibra Danhos team will allow us to continue breaking new ground.
