At Industrial Gate, we consolidated our double materiality approach to identify and prioritize the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics that are most relevant both to our stakeholders and to the sustainability of our business model, considering both the impact of our operations on the environment and their financial relevance to the Company. This exercise is part of our commitment to strengthen our sustainability strategy and align our actions with the expectations of the environment in which we operate.
The process was carried out through a structured methodology that included the identification of key topics, the collection of stakeholder input, and the assessment of each topic’s impact on the Company. Through this approach, we focused our efforts on matters that generate greater long-term value, while proactively managing the risks and opportunities our operations face.
The topics identified as priorities guide the design of our ESG strategy, project management, and communication with stakeholders. This assessment is updated periodically to remain current in light of changes in the global and local context.
At Industrial Gate, we view sustainability as a business strategy that drives long-term value creation. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Strategy sets out the principles that guide our operations and key decisions, aligning us with the most relevant international frameworks and the expectations of our stakeholders.

We integrate sustainability criteria into the design and construction of industrial buildings using state-of-the-art technologies.
We promote the urban integration of industrial parks through inclusive infrastructure and respect for the surrounding environment.
We set emissions reduction goals and measure our scopes 2 and 3 carbon footprints.
As part of our commitment to adopting ESG best practices, we participate in initiatives and programs that promote sustainability in our activities. In addition, we hold certifications that support our compliance with nationally and internationally recognized standards across environmental, social, and corporate governance aspects.
At Industrial Gate, we strengthen our commitment to sustainability by joining corporate responsibility and assessment initiatives that promote best practices in the real estate and industrial sector.
We currently participate in the following platforms and organizations:
GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark), where since 2023 we have reported our ESG performance to benchmark against the highest international standards.
At Industrial Gate, we develop and operate industrial properties under the highest sustainability standards.
