5 th place in the GRESB ranking
Like last year, Icade is classified as a "Green star", the highest category, and takes 5th place among the 15 European companies from the "diversified assets" category.

Its property development business, which was assessed for the first time, ranked 13th out of 315 companies from around the world.

Two Gold Awards received from EPRA
Icade's reporting quality was also rewarded with a "Gold Sustainability Award" from EPRA. EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) issues guidelines and awards prizes to real estate companies based on the quality of their environmental reporting. Within the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe index, which consists of 98 companies, Icade was one of the 25 companies that received a "Gold" award in 2016 (vs. 21 in 2015).
Furthermore, Icade once again won the highest honour with a Gold Award from EPRA in the financial category for the quality and transparency of its reporting.
