1 Includes buildings under construction and development land which are/will be developed by VGP on behalf of the First, Second and Sixth Joint Venture.
as we look back on 2024, we are proud of the progress we've made, but more than that, we are deeply grateful for the opportunities that have shaped our journey. While the year has presented its challenges, it has also reinforced the strength of our foundations, positioning us well to achieve the ambitious goals we've set for the future. We remain committed to delivering value, not just to our shareholders, but to the communities and industries we serve. Below are some of the key highlights from this pivotal year.
Despite a cautious approach to new construction, particularly with potential vacancy risks in mind, we've been fortunate to see a record performance in lettings. We're pleased to report €91.6 million in new and renewed rental income, a historic record for VGP. Of this, €61.8 million reflects an 18% increase in our total committed annualised rental income. This growth is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team, and to our ability to adapt to market dynamics while ensuring stable cash flows for the business.
Aligned with our vision to support Europe's economic growth, we've had the privilege of contributing to some truly exciting projects in 2024. These include among others:
These projects reflect the industries of tomorrow, and we're grateful to play a role in shaping Europe's future. The progress we've made this year is part of a much larger movement, and we're proud to support the re-industrialisation efforts happening across the continent.
As we focus on long-term growth, 2024 also saw the launch of new initiatives that are deeply aligned with our goals of sustainability and diversification. These include:

VGP Park Nijmegen
Through focused efforts and cross-border collaboration, we've managed to keep our costs under control, optimizing purchasing power and driving efficiencies across all markets. This approach gives us the flexibility to respond swiftly to changing market dynamics. Looking at 2025, we are confi dent that our strong balance sheet, prime locations, and attractive construction costs will give us an important edge. The market dynamics are shifting, but we feel well-prepared to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.
While ESG topics have increasingly become part of political discussions, we remain focused on delivering a top-class product in terms of eco-efficiency and climate performance. Our commitment to reducing gas consumption across our portfolio has led to a significant transition from gas-powered heating to air heat pumps, with a quarter of our properties now operating
independently of gas. This shift not only enhances sustainability but also helps our tenants manage their energy costs. Additionally, our state-of-the-art new buildings provide highly efficient alternatives for incoming tenants. These efforts have been recognized by GRESB (the 'Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark'), which awarded VGP a 4-star rating—the third-highest development score among the 23 listed logistics and semi-industrial developers in its universe and the highest score within our peer group.
While AI and automation aren't yet at the forefront of our industry, we are proactively preparing for the future. We're keeping a close eye on developments in self-driving trucks and robotics, as we believe these technologies will shape the logistics and industrial sectors in the years to come.
Looking forward, we expect to see continued organic growth across our core markets. While Germany, the Czech Republic, and Hungary have long been key drivers of our development, we're now seeing strong momentum in other large economies such as Italy, Spain, and France. These markets offer significant expansion potential and will be vital to our continued growth.
We're also excited about our recent strategic entry into the UK market. This is an important step in our expansion strategy, and we believe it will make a meaningful contribution to our growth in the years to come.
A key enabler of this growth has been our partnership structure, which continues to provide the Group with the flexibility to expand through the efficient recycling of invested capital. We deeply value the support of our joint venture partners, whose collaboration strengthens our ability to scale and seize new opportunities.
In addition to our business ambitions, we believe strongly in the importance of contributing to society. Through our foundation, we reinvest a portion of our earnings into projects that support causes close to our heart. This year, we've continued our support for initiatives focused on:
We are proud to play a role in these important initiatives, and we remain committed to using our success as a platform for positive change.
All of our progress has also translated into solid financial performance in '24. As such, we are pleased to report a net profit reaching € 287 million, an increase of 229% over FY'23. Our net asset value grew by 8.4% to € 2.4 billion, supported by a 57% rise in EBITDA, driven by robust growth in recurring rental income (+19%), development activities (+178%), and renewable energy (+236%).
We delivered 21 projects (584,000 sqm), adding € 36.1 million in annual rent, while 34 projects (780,000 sqm) are under construction. Together with the committed lease agreements on our development land, the pre-let status is 80%.
With a solid balance sheet, liquidity of € 493 million, and a lower gearing ratio of 33.6%, we are well-positioned to manage our continuous growth and the Board proposes an ordinary dividend of € 90 million (€ 3.30 per share), a 12% increase from last year.

As we head into 2025, we do so with a sense of gratitude and optimism. The foundation we've built — from a solid balance sheet to strong relationships with tenants, and an agile, motivated team — positions us well for continued success. While challenges remain, we are confident that our strategic advantages, combined with our commitment to sustainability and community, will enable us to thrive in the years to come.
We recognize that our share price performance over the past year has not reflected the full value of our company's potential. However, we are deeply convinced that, through our strategy and ongoing efforts, we are building and will continue to build the intrinsic value of VGP. We remain focused on long-term growth, and we are fully committed to delivering sustainable value for all our stakeholders.
Finally, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you, our shareholders, for your continued trust and support. Most importantly, I want to express my sincere gratitude to my incredible team. It is their dedication, enthusiasm, and passion that drives VGP forward, and I couldn't be prouder of the way they embrace every challenge and opportunity with unwavering commitment. Together, we are building something truly special.
Thank you once again for your belief in VGP, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
Best regards,

VGP Park Rouen

VGP Park Olomouc
VGP (www.vgpparks.eu) is a pan-European pure-play logistics real estate group specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of logistic and light industrial real estate. The Group focuses on strategically located plots of land across key European markets, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, France and Croatia and recently also the UK. These locations are selected to support the development of logistic business parks of significant size, enabling VGP to build an extensive and well-diversified land bank at top locations.
The Group combines its expertise in land acquisition, project conceptualization, design, construction, and property management within a fully integrated business model. This approach ensures that VGP can deliver and manage high-end logistics real estate and ancillary offices, either for its own portfolio or in collaboration with its Joint Ventures. These assets are subsequently leased under long-term commercial agreements that prioritize sustainable and green leasing practices.
As part of its commitment to sustainable building practices, VGP has integrated renewable energy solutions into its offering. Through its VGP Renewable Energy business line, the Group supports tenants and stakeholders by providing tailored renewable energy solutions, including solar energy installations and other innovative projects. This initiative reflects VGP's dedication to creating energy-efficient and sustainable logistic parks that benefit both clients and the environment.

VGP's goal is to be a leading pan-European logistics real estate group specialised in the acquisition, development, and management of logistic real estate, i.e. buildings suitable for logistical purposes and light industrial activities.
The Group focuses on (i) strategically located plots of land suitable for development of logistic business parks of a certain size, so as to build up an extensive and well-diversified land bank and property portfolio on top locations; (ii) striving to optimise the operational performance of the portfolio and the activities of our tenants through dedicated teams which provide asset- property and development management services; (iii) growing the different strategic partnerships entered into with Allianz, Deka, Areim or with other local partners (see below) and (iv) implementation of its ESG strategy, by amongst others, offering solutions and acting as an enabler to help the Group's tenants and other stakeholders in their green energy transition through the roll-out of the renewable energy business line.
These elements should allow the Group to provide attractive return for our shareholders through progressive dividend and net asset value growth over time.

VGP Park Fuenlabrada
Greenfield and brownfield developments are the core activity of the VGP Group. Brownfield developments are gradually becoming more important as greenfield developments in some targeted prime locations become increasingly scarce. Developments are undertaken primarily for the Group's own account and to a lesser extent for the Joint Ventures.
The Group pursues a growth strategy in terms of development of a strategic land bank which is suitable for the development of turnkey and ready-to-be-let logistic projects. The plots are zoned mainly for logistic or semi-industrial activities. The management of VGP is convinced that the top location of the land and the high-quality standards of its real estate projects contribute to the long-term value of its portfolio.
The Group concentrates on the sector of logistics and light industrial accommodation projects situated across Continental Europe. The Group operates in 18 European countries, in 15 of which the Group already carries out development activities or holds a development pipeline for future development activities.
High quality projects are always developed on the basis of VGP building standards, with adaptations to meet specific requirements of future tenants but always ensuring multiple purpose use and easy future re-leasability. In their initial phase of development, some projects are being developed at the Group's own risk (i.e., without being pre-let). The Group has recently taken preliminary first steps into the potential of data center developments, initially targeting opportunities within its existing land bank.
The constructions, which respond to the latest modern quality standards, are leased under long-term lease agreements to tenants which are active in the logistic, semi-industrial or e-commerce sector, including storing but also assembling, reconditioning, final treatment of the goods before they go to industrial clients or retailers. The land positions are located in the vicinity of highly concentrated living and/or production centres, with an optimal access to transport infrastructure.
The Group provides property management, asset management and facility management services to its portfolio and the Joint Ventures (see below).
Property management services are exclusively provided to the Group's own portfolio and the Joint Ventures whereby the respective Group property management company is responsible for managing the proper and undisturbed operation of the buildings. As part of its offered services the VGP property management companies also provide project management services and leasing services.
The asset management services entail giving advice and recommendations to the Joint Ventures on the Joint Ventures' asset management and strategy, thereby optimising the value of the Joint Ventures' assets. As part of the provided services, VGP is responsible for standard corporate administration, financing, business planning, reporting, budgeting, management of tax and legal affairs, controlling, etc.
Facility management services are carried out in the local countries by specific dedicated teams which are focused on managing the proper and undisturbed operation of the buildings and performing or manage all actions such as maintenance services, waste management services, maintenance greenery that may be necessary in this respect.
Other services include providing green energy generated through roof-fixed solar panels, smart energy management and green electric charging facilities and infrastructure. (see below)
VGP Renewable Energy offers a broad array of renewable energy solutions for warehouses, including solar, wind and thermal, as well as integrators for storage and distribution. We offer green energy to our tenants, produced on site or off site, with our own photovoltaic systems. This is provided via lease or Power Purchase Agreements. We aim to offer our clients a tailormade green energy solution, which is typically offered through photovoltaic systems on the roof of our VGP Parks, yet also with the ability to offer green energy which is sourced elsewhere.
Since January 2024 the Group acts as a regulated utility for its German clients. This allows the Group over time to deploy all photovoltaic projects in Germany to distribute clean energy more efficiently to our tenants across the country, irrespectively of the quantity of available renewable energy generated on-site. Including projects under construction, the installed capacity will reach nearly 200 MWp. With an ambitious pipeline of projects, we aim to exceed the energy needs of our tenants. Since 2024 the Group also has started a roll-out of battery energy storage systems (BESS) with the first BESS expected to be delivered in 1H 2025 the Group will be able to further enhance self-consumption.
Next to this, we provide green e-mobility charge facilities for electric trucks and cars, and we are currently exploring qualitative methods for energy storage with battery installation and load management. Furthermore, we support our tenants to identify green energy usage optimization and fl exible energy consumption with energy control methods for divers processes to optimize the photovoltaic consumption potential, amongst others.

In order to sustain its growth over the medium term, VGP entered into several 50:50 joint ventures with well-known institutional investors. These joint venture structures allow VGP to partially recycle its initial invested capital when completed projects are acquired by the respective joint ventures and allow VGP to re-invest the sales proceeds in the continued expansion of the development pipeline, including the further expansion of the land bank, thus allowing VGP to concentrate on its core development activities.
The First Joint Venture was established in May 2016 with an objective to build a platform of new, grade A logistics and industrial properties with a key focus on expansion in core German markets and high growth CEE markets (of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic) with the aim of delivering stable income-driven returns with potential for capital appreciation. The First Joint Venture had a target to increase its portfolio size (i.e. the gross asset value of the acquired income generating assets) to circa € 1.7 billion by May 2021 at the latest, via the contribution to the First Joint Venture of new logistics developments carried out by VGP. The First Joint Venture's strategy is therefore now primarily a hold strategy. As at 31 December 2024, the First Joint Venture's property portfolio consists of 104 completed buildings representing a total lettable area of over 1,973,000 sqm. Although the First Joint Venture reached its expanded investment target, some add-on closings related to existing tenant extension options may still occur in the future. The First Joint Venture will maintain its existing portfolio with VGP continuing to act as property, facility and asset manager. Finally, VGP may be entitled to a promote payment from the First Joint Venture at (i) a liquidity event or (ii) after the lapse of the initial ten year period, which occurs in H1 '26. The magnitude of the promote distribution by the First Joint Venture will be based on the IRR track record of the Joint Venture and is subject to a number of parameters that can only be accurately determined at maturity.

VGP Park Ceske Budejovice
The Second Joint Venture was established in July 2019 with the objective to build a platform of core, prime logistic assets in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Spain with the aim of delivering stable income-driven returns with potential for capital appreciation.
The Second Joint Venture 's exclusive right of first refusal in relation to acquiring newly built assets in the relevant countries expired as of 31 July 2024. It's strategy is therefore primarily a hold strategy.
As at 31 December 2024, the Second Joint Venture's property portfolio consists of 42 completed buildings representing a total lettable area of over 926,000 sqm. Although the Second Joint Venture reached its investment period, some add-on closings related to outstanding development assets may still occur in the future.

VGP Park München
The Third Joint Venture was established in June 2020 with an objective to develop VGP Park München. Once fully developed, VGP Park München will consist of five industrial buildings, two stand-alone parking houses and one office building for a total gross lettable area of approx. 323,000 sqm. The park is entirely pre-let. Since its establishment, three closings with the Third Joint Venture have occurred.
The financing of the development capex of the Third Joint Venture occurs through shareholder loans and/or capital contributions by the shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholding or from bank financing. Upon completion of the respective building(s), a closing with Allianz occurred which allowed the Group to receive the proportional share price allocated to the building(s) from Allianz and to partially/totally recycle its initially invested capital in respect of the building(s).
The park has currently three tenants, KraussMaffei – with 212,000 sqm gross lettable area – and BMW – with 64,000 sqm gross lettable area – occupy the existing park and the last remaining development building, which is to be completed by 2026 will provide 44,000 sqm gross lettable area and has been leased in '24 to the company ISAR Aerospace SE.
Finally, in 2024, VGP Park Munich drew an additional credit facility of € 84.5 million that will be used for the financing of the development of the last outstanding building leased to ISAR Aerospace SE.
VGP has signed as per 21 July 2023 a Joint Venture agreement with Deka Immobilien, a prominent real estate investment company. The joint venture endeavours that two of Deka Immobilien's public funds, Deka Westinvest InterSelect and Deka Immobilien Europa, acquired a 50% stake in five project companies owned by VGP.
These project companies own and operate five strategically located parks in Germany, namely Gießen – Am alten Flughafen, Laatzen, Göttingen 2, Magdeburg and Berlin Oberkrämer. These parks boast a portfolio of 20 buildings, generating a total annualised rental income of € 52.9 million at the time of the transaction.
The transaction was foreseen to be executed in three closings, the first one in Q3 2023, the second one in Q2 2024, which comprised of two assets located in Berlin Oberkrämer and Gießen – Am alten Flughafen for a total gross asset value of € 281.3 million, and the third one, a building in VGP Park Magdeburg for a total gross asset value of € 103.5 million in Q3 2024. All have been executed according to the initially agreed timeframe and pricing, as such the Joint Venture now holds € 1.16 billion of gross asset value in assets, where VGP retains asset management services in a similar scope to its existing partnerships with Allianz. To facilitate the joint venture, parties have agreed to refinance the joint venture with an approximative LTV of 30%. Consequently, VGP recycled € 681 million of net cash from all closings to date.
As per 15 December 2023 VGP entered into a new Joint Venture agreement with AREIM Pan-European Logistics Fund (D) AB, or Areim, on a 50:50 basis, with the purpose of investing into VGP developed assets in Germany, Czech Republic, France, Slovakia and Hungary. The Joint Venture will utilize debt up to a loanto-value of 40%, up from the initial target of 35%. The investor, Areim, has committed a € 500 million equity investment. The investment period lasts until 15 December 2028, with possibilities to extend the Joint Venture by mutual agreement.
A seed portfolio closing has taken place in H1 2024, comprising of 17 developed properties, equalling 450,000 sqm, in Germany (8), Czech Republic (5) and Slovakia (4) for a total gross asset value of € 436.5 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of € 270.2 million. A second closing took place in December 2024, comprising 4 developed properties, equalling 114,000 sqm in Germany (1), Czech Republic (1), Slovakia (1) and France (1), for a total gross asset value of € 120 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of € 79.3 million. In many ways the Joint Venture is similar to the Allianz Joint Ventures, being that the Sixth Joint Venture has a right of first refusal but limited to all buildings of a specific development pipeline within the target countries over the investment period.
As at 31 December 2024, the Sixth Joint Venture's property portfolio consists of 21 completed buildings representing a total lettable area of over 564,000 sqm and are 100% let.
The joint venture targets a comprehensive ESG strategy, with criteria defined around EU taxonomy compliance, EPC, BREEAM standards, and more. As is the case with similar Joint Ventures, VGP will act as the asset, property and development manager of the Joint Venture.
The VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture was set up as a 50:50 joint venture with VUSA. The objective of this joint venture is to provide an additional source of land to the Group for land plots which would otherwise not be accessible to it. The VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture aims to develop ca. 64,000 sqm of logistics lettable area. In April 2024, VGP and VUSA agreed to increase the stake of VGP in the Joint Venture to 75%. The VGP Park Belartza, located in the vicinity of San Sebastian in the North of Spain, targets the development of a mixed (logistics/commercial) park whereby VGP will lead the logistic development and VUSA will lead the commercial development. The framework of the VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture provides for different mechanisms which allows subject to conditions being met for VGP to become the beneficial owner of the logistics income generating assets and VUSA to become the owner of commercial income generating assets. The project is currently proceeding well with obtaining the necessary zoning permits.
The VGP Park Siegen Joint Venture is set up as a 50:50 joint venture with Revikon. The objective of this joint venture is to convert a brownfield with ca. 21,000 sqm of lettable space located in the vicinity of the city of Siegen, Germany. In 2023 a part of the development has been sold and since then the brownfield has been undergoing further demolishment works in preparation of its future development. Further milestones are expected to be reached during 2025.
The LPM Joint Venture was established in November 2020 with an objective to develop Logistics Park Moerdijk (Netherlands) together with the Port Authority Moerdijk on a 50:50 basis. Logistics Park Moerdijk is situated in between the Port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and the Port of Antwerp (Belgium).

Sustainability Faced with the urgency of climate change, VGP is a committed partner to both the transformation of business to the effi ciency of Industry 4.0, as well as the regeneration of brownfi eld industrial estates by accelerating their urban environmental transformation. Sustainability is at the very heart of VGP's business strategy as can be seen from the integration of our sustainability approach with VGPs investment Strategy. In 2021, the Group launched its updated ESG Strategy which combines both an ambitious objective to reduce VGP's environmental footprint, increase community engagement, and integrating sustainability into the Group's entire value chain. The Group's ambitions are aligned with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement and adapted to the challenges and opportunities of the industry and specifi c nature of its operations. The Group relies on both the quality of its assets and collective power of its employees and stakeholders to raise awareness, mobilise and provide practical solutions that will facilitate the transition towards a low-carbon economy. The Group is actively involved in the communities in which it operates. The Group's commitment to address climate change across its value chain goes beyond its own direct operations (Scope 1&2) and tenant operations (Scope 3) to be reduced in half but also includes a commitment to address the carbon footprint in the entire supply chain through eff ective ESG management and transparency in carbon pricing. The Group ESG Strategy also tackles challenges like biodiversity, environmentally friendly transport and the circular economy. The ESG Strategy is based on 5 pillars:
— Sustainable Properties. Through the Group's Environmental Management System we aim to reduce the environmental impact of our assets at every stage of their life cycle, from their initial design to daily operation as well as future fungibility

VGP Park Hrádek nad Nisou
From a geographic perspective, Western Europe, accounted for 81% (and Germany 47%), or € 49.0 million of the incremental new lease agreements. The significant growth has been mainly driven by customers with light industrial activity. This segment accounted for 65% (€ 39.3 million) of all new lease agreements. Some examples of new lease agreements include Stellantis (Opel) in VGP Park Russelsheim, Germany; Mobis, in VGP Park Pamplona Noáin, Spain; Isar Aerospace in VGP Park Münich, Germany; Verne in VGP Park Zagreb, Croatia; Mutti in VGP Park Parma Paradigna, Italy; VAT Global in VGP Park Arad, Romania; Fuyao Glass in VGP Park Kecskemét 2, Hungary, JYSK in VGP Park Valencia Cheste, Spain, De Boer Logistics in VGP Park Leipzig Flughafen 2, Germany, and Best4Tires in VGP Park Berlin Bernau, Germany.
A total of 72 lease contracts were concluded in 14 countries. The average size1 of the new lease agreements corresponds to approximately 10,000 sqm. On top, 99% of the new lease agreements contain specifi c, so called green lease provisions. These are designed to improve energy effi ciency, reduce waste and lower the overall environmental impact of a property and 74% of the new lease agreements include a specifi c clause ("dark green") related to procurement of electricity from renewable sources.

The weighted average term2 of the leases stands at 8.0 years for the entire portfolio under management, which is 9.7 years in the own portfolio and 7.2 years in the Joint Venture portfolio. Over 2024, VGP has successfully renewed € 20.5 million3 of annualised rental income. Rental levels on reletting4 were on average 5.1% higher in comparison to the last active rental agreement in the respective locations.
Per December 2024, € 349.9 million, or 85% of the annualised rental income has become cash generative as the underlying space has been handed over to the respective tenants. Over the next twelve months another € 39 million will become effective as summarized in the table below.

The top ten customers of VGP, including those of the Joint Ventures, represents € 130.6 million of annualised rental income, or 31% of the total annualised rental income. They consist of a mix of our three segments, but the largest are represented by the light industrial and e-commerce category. The weighted average lease term of the top ten customers stands at 10.7 years. Siemens occupies a brownfield site and also Opel's committed annualised rental income partially relates to the current occupation of a brownfield site. Both locations will, in time, be reconverted into a newly developed state of the art industrial park, with the potential to generate a substantial higher amount of rental income.

VGP adopts the Belgian Code on Corporate Governance (hereinafter the "Belgian Corporate Governance Code" or the "Code 2020") as its reference code on corporate governance. The Code 2020 is available on the website of the Belgian Corporate Governance Committee (www.corporategovernancecommittee.be).
As required by the Code 2020, the Board of Directors has drawn up the VGP Corporate Governance Charter according to the recommendations of the Code 2020 published on 9 May 2019 and taking into account the provisions of the Code on Companies and Associations ("CCA") introduced by the law of 23 March 2019.
As required by the Code 2020, the Company's Corporate Governance Charter describes the main aspects of its corporate governance policy. The Corporate Governance Charter was last updated on 5 January 2022 and is available on the Company's website (Corporate-governance – VGP Group (vgpparks.eu)
However, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company is justified in not adhering to certain principles of the Code 2020, considering the Company's particular situation. These deviations are explained below:
and by not setting a minimum holding period for shares in the Company held by such persons. Considering that the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO are reference shareholders, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the long-term perspective of shareholders is adequately represented. Not requiring the other three (independent) directors to receive remuneration in shares in the Company allows for an outside perspective during the deliberations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that this balanced composition contributes to long term value creation and is beneficial to the Company.
The Company has opted for a monistic governance model with a Board of Directors in accordance with article 7:85 and further of the CCA. The Company deems this model to be best suited for the needs and functioning of the Company and its business.
The Board of Directors is authorised to perform all operations that are considered necessary or useful to achieve the Company's purpose, except those reserved to the shareholders' meeting by law or as set out in the articles of association.
The Board of Directors consists of five members, who are appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are never the same individual. The Chief Executive Officer is the only Board member with an executive function. All other members are non-executive Directors.
Three of the Directors are independent: Mrs Katherina Reiche (first appointed in 2019), Mrs Vera Gäde-Butzlaff (first appointed in 2019) and Mrs Ann Gaeremynck (first appointed in 2019). All three directors have been reappointed on the annual shareholders meeting in 2023 for a period of four years, i.e. , until the closing of the annual shareholders' meeting which will be held in the year 2027 and at which the decision will be taken to approve the annual accounts closed at 31 December 2026.
Miss Katherina Reiche has decided to step down from her position as a board and remuneration committee member. The board has accepted her resignation, and by mutual agreement, she will continue to serve as an active member until the shareholders' meeting on May 9. The annual shareholders meeting will be requested to nominate CM Advisors Ltd, represented by Chris Morrish as replacement to Miss Katherina Reiche.
The biographies for each of the current directors (see Board of Directors and Management), indicate the breadth of their business, financial and international experience. This gives the directors the range of skills, knowledge and experience essential to govern VGP.
For a detailed description of the operation and responsibilities of the Board of Directors we refer to the VGP Corporate Governance Charter, which is published on the company's website Corporate –overnance - VGP Group (vgpparks.eu).
The Board of Directors held 5 board meetings in 2024. The most important points on the agenda were:
— approval of the 2023 annual accounts and 2024 semi-annual accounts;

He was a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and has served on the Management Board of INREV and the Supervisory Board of the Investment Property Forum (IPF).
The Board of Directors has also established two advisory committees: an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee.
The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors.
The Audit Committee is composed of three members who are all non-executive Directors. Two members, Mrs Ann Gaeremynck and Mrs Vera Gäde-Butzlaff, are independent directors.
The members of the committee have sufficient relevant expertise, especially in accounting, auditing and financial matters, to effectively perform their functions.
The duration of the appointment of a member of the Audit Committee may not exceed the duration of his/her directorship. Committee members' terms of office may be renewed at the same time as their directorships.
The Audit Committee is chaired by one of its members. The chairman of the board of directors may not chair the Audit Committee.
For a detailed description of the operation and responsibilities of the Audit Committee we refer to the VGP Corporate Governance Charter, which is published on the company's website: Corporate-governance – VGP Group (vgpparks.eu).
The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year and whenever circumstances require, at the request of its chairman, one of its members, the chairman of the Board of Directors, the CEO or the CFO. It decides if and when the CEO, CFO, the Statutory Auditor(s) or other people should attend its meetings.
The Audit Committee meets at least twice a year with the statutory auditor to consult on matters falling under the power of the Audit Committee and on any matters arising from the audit. The CEO and CFO also attend the meetings of the Audit Committee.
Given the size of the Group no internal audit function has currently been created.

The Audit Committee met four times in 2024. The Chairwoman of the Audit Committee reported the outcome of each meeting to the Board of Directors. The most important points on the agenda were:
The members of the Remuneration Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors.
The Remuneration Committee is composed of three members who are all non-executive Directors. Two members, Mrs Ann Gaeremynck and Mrs Katherina Reiche are independent directors. Mrs Katherina Reiche has resigned as board and remuneration committee member and the board has agreed that her nomination will end on the annual shareholders meeting as per 9 May 2025.
The members of the Remuneration Committee possess the necessary independence, skills, knowledge, experience, and capacity to execute their duties effectively.
The duration of the appointment of a member of the Remuneration Committee may not exceed the duration of his/her directorship. Committee members' terms of office may be renewed at the same time as their directorships.
The Remuneration Committee is chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by another non-executive director.
For a detailed description of the operation and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee we refer to the VGP Corporate Governance Charter, which is published on the company's website Corporate –governance - VGP Group (vgpparks.eu).
The Remuneration Committee meets at least two times per year, as well as whenever the committee needs to address imminent topics within the scope of its responsibilities.
The CEO and CFO participate in the meetings when the remuneration plan proposed by the CEO for members of the management team is discussed, but not when their own remunerations are being decided.
In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Remuneration Committee has access to all resources that it deems appropriate, including external advice or benchmarking as appropriate.

The Remuneration Committee met three times in 2024.
The most important points on the agenda were:
In order to maintain a flexible remuneration policy that enables it to attract, reward, incentivize and retain the necessary talent, the Company departs from the following principles of the Code 2020 in the framework of its remuneration policy:
— by not requiring its non-executive directors to receive part of their remuneration in the form of shares in the Company and by not setting a minimum holding period for shares in the Company held by such persons, if any, the Company departs from principle 7.6 of the Code 2020;
— by not setting a minimum threshold of shares to be held by the executive management as part of their remuneration, the Company departs from principle 7.9 of the Code 2020.
The company has not set up a Nomination Committee. The Company does not intend to set up a nomination committee. By doing so, the Company, as a smaller listed company, departs from the principles 4.19 and further of the Code 2020. Given its relatively small size and the small size of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company believes setting up a nomination committee would at this stage overly complicate its decision-making processes.
In accordance with the VGP Corporate Governance Charter, the Board of Directors shall, every three years, conduct an evaluation of its size, composition and performance, and the size, composition and performance of its Committees, as well as the interaction with the executive management.
The Board of Directors and its Committees carried out a self-assessment lastly in February 2025 with satisfactory result.
VGP Park Arad

This remuneration report has been drafted in accordance with the provisions of article 3:6, §3 of the Code of Companies and Associations and the VGP Corporate Governance Charter (Annex 5), and takes into account the VGP Remuneration Policy, which is available at the Company's website https://vgpparks. eu/en/investors/corporate-governance/
The VGP Remuneration Policy was submitted to and approved by the annual shareholders' meeting of 14 May 2021 with a large majority (93.13% of the votes present gave their approval). This new remuneration policy took effect on 1 January 2021. This remuneration report must be read together with the VGP Remuneration Policy which, to the extent necessary, should be regarded as forming part of this remuneration report.

The remuneration report for the performance year 2023 was also approved by a large majority of 87.35% of the votes present at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting held on 10 May 2024, and there were no specific comments to be taken into account in the remuneration for performance year 2024.
In 2024, VGP recorded a solid business growth across its property portfolio with signed and renewed rental income of € 91.6 million bringing total signed annualised committed leases increased to € 412.6million1 at the end of December 2024 (compared to € 350.8 million at the end of 2023) (+ € 61.8 million)
During 2024, 21 projects were completed totalling 584,000 sqm of lettable area which represent an annualised rent income of € 36.1 million. These buildings were 94% let. At year-end 34 projects were under construction representing 780,000 sqm of future lettable area, which, once delivered and fully let, will generate € 60.4 million of annualised committed rental income; the portfolio under construction at year-end was 74% pre-let2.
The weighted average term of the annualised committed leases of the combined own and Joint Ventures' portfolio stood at 8 years at the year-end (7.9 years as at 31 December 2023) and the occupancy rate (own and Joint Ventures'portfolio) reached 98 % at year-end (compared to 99% at the end of 2023).
The landbank further expanded with the acquisition of 702,000 sqm of new development land with a further 1.3 million sqm of committed land plots, pending permits, bringing the total secured (own and committed) land bank to 8.7 million sqm having over 3.6 million sqm development potential.
In respect of the Joint Ventures, there were 4 closings, two with the Fifth and Sixth Joint Venture, as well as the disposal of the LPM Moerdijk Development Joint venture, resulting in net cash proceeds totalling € 809 million.
As of 31 December 2024, the roofs of VGP's building portfolio enabled a photovoltaic power generation capacity of 196.8 MWp installed or under construction (compared to 170.8 MWp as at the end of December 2023).
All construction projects of 2024 are earmarked for at least 'BREEAM Excellent' or equivalent, including 7% that are targeted to achieve BREEAM Outstanding.
Finally, VGP reported a net profit of € 287 million, an increase of € 200 million or 229% versus FY'23 and a net asset value growth of 8.4%, up to € 2.4 billion.

The total amount of remuneration as set out above is in line with the VGP Remuneration Policy. More in particular, the remuneration package allows the Group to attract, retain and motivate selected profiles, taking account of the Group's characteristics and challenges, while maintaining coherence between the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Management Team and of all staff, properly and effectively managing risk and keeping the costs of the various remunerations under control.
The total amount of remuneration, and more in particular, the variable fraction of the total remuneration package, contributes to the long-term performance of the Group by setting performance criteria that focus on the long-term objectives of the Group.
For the financial year 2024, no share-based remuneration was granted.
For the fi nancial year 2024, no severance payments were made in relation to the termination of management or employment agreements of any members of the Executive Management Team.
The Company deviates from principle 7.12 of the Code 2020 by not including contractual provisions to delay payment or clawback provisions in relation to the variable remuneration of the Executive Management Team. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that its remuneration policy and practices sufficiently address the underlying objective of this principle, as any payment of variable remuneration is only made following the finalisation of the financial results. In addition, the Board of Directors can reduce the amount of short-term variable remuneration of an Executive Management Team member based on its individual performance. With regards to long term variable remuneration, the LTIP also includes certain malus provisions. Finally, the Company may in certain events use legal remedies that may be available to it under applicable law to withhold payment or reclaim variable remuneration.
For the remuneration in respect of financial year 2024, VGP did not derogate from its existing remuneration practices.
With a view to increasing transparency of past, current and future remuneration programs and in alignment with investor interest and the legislative framework, the following table demonstrates the annual change, over a period of 5 years, in (i) the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Team, (ii) the performance of the Group on a consolidated basis and (iii) the average remuneration of the employees of VGP NV.

During 2019 a formal Code of Conduct was introduced, which has been updated in July 2022. The Code of Conduct describes the key principles of conduct for the business environment, in which the Group operates. At the same time, a training program has been rolled out throughout the countries in which the Group operates in order to preserve the compliance culture across the Group.
The Code of Conduct sets out the shared values of integrity, compliance with local and international law, protection of human rights, respect for employees and customers, the willingness to accept social responsibility, environmental awareness and an unequivocal stand against bribery and corruption. The Code of Conduct describes in clear terms the principles which the VGP Group must adhere to and provides a number of examples of potential violations as well as good practice.
The Code of Conduct as well as the Group's compliance policies and procedures are made available to all VGP staff. VGP uses in-person or on-line training to familiarise employees with its contents and application in everyday scenarios. This training is mandatory for all employees having managerial responsibilities and is carried out progressively throughout the countries, in which VGP operates. There are a number of channels for reporting possible violations of the Code of Conduct, including a compliance hotline, see below.
All employees and contractors are invited to report cases or suspicions of criminal activities, violations of national and international laws, and any serious threat or harm to the general interest of VGP, or breaches the Group Code of Conduct, by using the Group's whistleblowing platform. The compliance hotline is available 24/7 from any location worldwide in all (18) spoken languages within the Group (https://vgp.speakup.report/en-GB/ compliance/home). The whistleblowing platform allows anonymous reporting and ensures strict confidentiality of the identity of the reporter. The Group policy is to guarantee to not discipline, discriminate or retaliate against any employee or other person who in good faith reports information related to a violation. The Group head of legal and compliance investigates reported incidents, but the directors are ultimately responsible for taking the appropriate actions.
VGP is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. While we recognize that the construction industry has historically lacked diversity, we are determined to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities. We value and respect individuals of all backgrounds, and we do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, national or origin, citizenship, age or disability. We believe diversity in perspectives drives innovation, creativity, and success, and we are dedicated to providing equal opportunities for all employees and applicants to thrive in a welcoming and supportive environment.
VGP is committed to conduct its business with integrity and respect for human rights. The group recognises the importance of preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms within our operations and supply chains. To uphold our commitment against modern slavery, we have implemented the following policies:
In addition the due diligence procedures in relation to the risks of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains are currently based on a know-your customer verification. Furthermore there is the risk assessment. We perceive the risk of modern slavery to be highest in the part of our supply chain, which relates to the material production in third countries, outside of the European Union and/or United Kingdom. Given that rather limited quantities of materials are sourced from these countries, we focus our risk management efforts on these supply relationships. And lastly VGP focuses on Training and awareness of its employees and suppliers.
The Group aims to combat and prevent corruption, bribery and influence peddling and has created various mechanism in order to comply with applicable laws. The Group General Counsel oversees various aspects of the group's operations in the different countries where the Group is active, such as the regulatory landscape, transactions and relationships with business partners. Management strictly enforces the Group's zero tolerance principle regarding violations of the Code with regards to the Anti-corruption principle. Internal control environment:
The requirements for conduct and commitment to fight against corruption and influence peddling has been included in a specific VGP Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy. The policy provides details on the prohibited behaviour and stresses the "zero tolerance" principle for breaches of the anti-corruption principle.
The Group has an externally based whistleblowing platform (the VGP Compliance Hotline), which enables all staff as well as contractors to confidentially, and anonymously, report incidents to the Group General Counsel. The whistleblowing procedure and platform are accessible at https://vgp.speakup.report/en-GB/ compliance/home.
The Group has a "Know Your Supplier" procedure which consists of tailored due diligence to assess business partners' risk of exposure to corruption before entering into contractual relationships. The due diligence may consist of questionnaires, internal and/or external background checks and investigations. Under certain circumstances the Group General Counsel reports due diligence findings to the relevant country manager or if required to the responsible COO or Group CEO to discuss the risk profile and provide recommendations. As part of the Group's Supplier Code of Conduct, the Group seeks to include anti-corruption provisions in contracts with business partners, to remind the contracting party that corruption and/or unethical behaviour will not be tolerated.

The Group has a collective decision-making process regarding investment, divestment and procurement. The Group applies a "four eyes" principle when processing invoices and staff expenses reimbursement. There is also a segregation of duties in the payment process. Manual entries in accounting are systematically reviewed by Group finance and accounts are reviewed by statutory auditors.
To raise awareness and entrench the compliance culture within the Group, employees are required to participate to an annual training covering ethics and the prevention of corruption and influence peddling. In addition to the online training, new joiners can attend dedicated classroom or online trainings.
Disciplinary sanctions may be taken in cases of corruption, bribery or breaches of the Anti-corruption policy based on the Group's zero tolerance principle.
The gift and entertainment are addressed in the anti-bribery policy, which states that hospitality, promotional or other business expenditure, received as well as given, need to be given or received in other forms than cash or cash equivalent, reasonable in value, infrequent, permitted under local laws, directly related to the promotion of the Group's assets, know-how, products or services, the execution of a contract, or to develop and maintain cordial business relations out of any tendering phase or in the frame of the Group's ESG policy, approved (as the case may be), properly recorded in accounting and not given for any corrupt purpose or with the intent of receiving anything in return.
Donations to charities, non-profit initiatives or social projects comprise a risk of having funds or assets of value being diverted for the personal use or benefit of a public official or a private party. Particular caution needs to be observed if a potential contribution is directed towards a company having an affiliation with a public official. Any contributions must be prior validated by the respective Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer.
To comply with the requirements of the economic sanctions regulations, VGP has introduced a KYC screening procedure for all customers and most signifi cant suppliers, which ensures that no entity that is subject to sanctions can be accepted as a counterparty. In addition, additional due diligence is performed if any risk related to prevention of money laundering and terrorism fi nancing (AML) is identifi ed. These due diligences include identifying the parent company, evaluating the risk profi le of the parent/operation, performing sanctions list screening and identifying potential ultimate benefi cial owners and politically exposed persons through background checks via public databases.
The Board of Directors has adopted a Dealing Code on 17 January 2007 which has been updated by the Board of Directors of the Company on 8 December 2016 to prevent the illegal use of inside information by VGP staff members and connected persons, and further updated on 8 May 2020 to implement changes following the adoption of the new Code on Companies and Associations.
The purpose of this Dealing Code is to ensure that such persons do not abuse, nor place themselves under suspicion of abusing, and maintain the confi dentiality of information that may be considered as Inside Information, especially in periods leading up to an announcement of financial results or of price sensitive events or decisions.
Reference is also made to Annex 4 Rules preventing market abuse (Dealing Code) of the VGP Corporate Governance Charter on https://www.vgpparks.eu/investors/corporate-governance/.
VGP staff members (i.e. members of VGP's corporate bodies and employees having regular or occasional access to inside information)1 must inform the Compliance Officer immediately within three (3) business days after they or a connected person have dealt in any of the Company's financial instruments, mentioning the date of the transaction, the nature of the dealing (purchase, sale, etc), the amount of financial instrument and the total price of the dealing.
Simultaneously, a notifi cation has to be made to the FSMA by an executive staff member or connected person thereof by way of a form that is available on the website of the FSMA (www.fsma.be) and that can also be requested from the Compliance Offi cer.
During so-called "closed" periods (being 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which the Company is obliged to make public), directors, members of the Executive Management Team and employees may not trade in VGP financial instruments.
There were no insider transactions in 2024 If any, these transactions were made public on the website of the FSMA (www.fsma.be)
On 3 January 2024, the Company received a transparency notifi cation, by virtue of the merger of Alsgard SA with Little Rock S.a.r.l (formerly Little Rock SA), which occurred on 31 December 2023.
On 8 January 2025, the Company has received a transparency notification dated 7 January 2025 that (i) Little Rock S.à r.l. now
holds 37.85% of the voting rights of VGP NV, and (ii) Tomanvi SCA now holds 2.94% of the voting rights of VGP NV and that therefore together, Jan Van Geet, Little Rock S.à.r.l. and Tomanvi SCA now hold 40.79% of the voting rights of VGP NV. Therefore, their voting rights have crossed the threshold of 40%.

The code of conduct and commitment to protect personal data and confidential information has been included in a dedicated section of the Group's Code of Conduct. VGP safeguards the confidential information it receives from its clients as well as any other commercially sensitive information developed by VGP or available to it. Personal data are protected in accordance with VGP Personal Data Protection Policy. VGP establishes IT procedures to protect such information. All team members are required to comply with the policies related to protection of confidential and sensitive information and to ensure that their handling of IT does not lead to any avoidable security risks. As a part of its business, VGP acquires significant amount of confidential information from its suppliers, clients and other business partners, which are often protected by non-disclosure or similar agreements. All team members are required to strictly follow policies put in place to ensure compliance with such agreements.
The Personal Data Protection policy can be found here: https:// www.vgpparks.eu/en/data-protection-policy/
Issues related to the data protection is included in the annual compliance training provided by the legal department.
The Group aims to only use subcontractors that provide guarantees as to their appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing and processing methods meet GDPR requirements and guarantee the protection of the data subject's rights.
Beyond the European Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data, each Member State of the European Union has interpreted the provisions of the GDPR by the enactment of national standards and by the jurisprudence developed by its national authorities (courts and local data protection authorities). For example, the most important legislation governing data protection in Germany is the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, or BDSG), which implements the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the country. The GDPR sets a high standard for data protection throughout the EU, but Germany has gone further by adding its own additional provisions, such as stricter rules on employee data protection, the need for explicit consent in certain cases, and additional requirements for data processing by public authorities.
In addition to the BDSG, Germany also has several other laws that govern specific areas of data protection.
The Group is committed to conducting business in an ethical and fair manner and the Group has a "zero tolerance" mindset against all forms of unethical practices, such as inappropriate, disrespectful or unlawful behaviour, corruption, bribery, influence peddling and human rights violations. The Group's compliance procedures are based on the principle of allocation of duties and responsibilities as well as promotion of compliance awareness through a "tone from the top" approach and active training programs to ensure accountability and strict and effective compliance within the Group.
Aiming to ensure appropriate sharing of information, right level of accountability, due and effective support and promotion, VGP has set up a compliance organisation matching its footprint.
The Board, with delegated execution to the CEO, is responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applying to the Group. Promoting compliance awareness from the top on a recurring basis is part of the Group's compliance target.
The compliance environment is managed by the CEO, the Group General Counsel and CFO. The responsibilities include:
The Group General Counsel supervises the Group's regulatory compliance
The Group Compliance Officer function is fulfilled by the Group General Counsel for legal compliance.
The Compliance Officer's scope of responsibility includes:
— Investigating possible compliance breaches, including breaches reported through the Compliance Hot Line, the Group's confidential whistleblowing platform.
Group General Counsel and Compliance have support from a Local Legal support functions to fulfil their tasks. They may also request support and/or input from external advisors. A network of local legal and compliance correspondents assist in promoting compliance awareness as well as to monitor and provide support for local implementation of compliance procedures.
VGP is exposed to a wide variety of risks within the context of its business operations that can result in the objectives being affected or not achieved. Controlling those risks is a core task of the Board of Directors, the Executive Management and all other employees with managerial responsibilities.
The risk management and control systems have been set up to achieve the following objectives:
The principles of the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") reference framework has served as a basis in the set-up of VGP's risk management and control system.
VGP strives for an overall compliance and a risk-awareness attitude by defining clear roles and responsibilities in all relevant domains. This way, the company fosters an environment in which its business objectives and strategies are pursued in a controlled manner. This environment is created through the implementation of different policies and procedures, such as:
Given the size of the company and required flexibility these policies and procedures are not always formally documented.
The Executive Management ensures that all VGP team members are fully aware of the policies and procedures and ensures VGP Park Hrádek nad Nisou


VGP Park Córdoba
that all VGP team members have sufficient understanding or are adequately informed in order to develop sufficient risk management and control at all levels and in all areas of the Group.
All employees are accountable for the timely identification and qualitative assessment of the risks (and significant changes to them) within their area of responsibility.
Within the different management, review and supporting processes, the risks associated with the business are identified, analysed, pre-evaluated and challenged by internal and occasionally by external assessments.
In addition to these integrated risk reviews, periodic assessments are performed to check whether proper risk review and control measures are in place and to discover unidentified or unreported risks. These processes are driven by the CEO, COOs and CFO which monitor and analyse on an on-going basis the various levels of risk and develop any action plan as appropriate. In addition, control activities are embedded in all key processes and systems in order to ensure proper achievement of the company´s objectives.
Any identified risks, which could have a material impact on the financial or operational performance of the Group are reported to the Board of Directors for further discussion and assessment and to allow the Board to decide whether such risks are acceptable from the point of view of the level of risk exposure.
VGP has identified and analysed all its key corporate risks as disclosed in the 'Risk Factors' section in this annual report. These corporate risks are communicated throughout VGP's organisation.
DELOITTE Bedrijfsrevisoren BV having its offices at Gateway Building, Luchthaven Nationaal 1 J, 1930 Zaventem, Belgium represented by Mrs. Kathleen De Brabander has been appointed as Statutory Auditor.
The Statutory Auditor's term of office expired immediately after the annual shareholders' meeting held in 2023 and at which the decision has been taken to approve the annual accounts closed on 31 December 2022.
The Board of Directors approved that Deloitte Bedrijfsrevisoren/Réviseurs d'Entreprises BV/SRL was re-appointed as the Statutory Auditor for a new period of three years taking effect after the conclusion of the annual shareholders' meeting of 12 May 2023 and to set the fees at € 151,830 per year. This fee will be subject to an annual review reflecting the changes in audit scope which might be required in order to ensure that such audit scope is kept in line with the evolution of the VGP Group and is subject to indexation. The audit fees for VGP NV and its fully controlled subsidiaries amounted to € 188k and additional non-audit services were performed during the year by Deloitte for which a total fee of € 48.6k was incurred. These fees were mainly paid for the obtained ESG limited assurance report.
Audit fees for jointly controlled entities amounted to € 485.5k. No additional non-audit services for jointly controlled entities were performed in 2024.
Since the maximum statutory term of Deloitte's tenure as statutory auditor of the company as provided in Article 3:61 of the Companies and Associations Code will have been reached at that time, the company expects Deloitte to tender its resignation as statutory auditor of the Company at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting to be held in the year 2025 at which it will be resolved to approve the financial statements closed as at 31 December 2024.
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee recommend to the general shareholders meeting to appoint KPMG Bedrijfsrevisoren, Luchthaven Brussel Nationaal 1 K, B 1930 Zaventem as Statutory Auditor.

The following risk factors that could influence the Group's activities, its financial status, its results and further development, have been identified by the Group. The Group takes and will continue to take the necessary measures to manage those risks as effectively as possible.
The Group is amongst others exposed to:
1.1 The Group may not be able to continue its development activities in a sustained and profitable way, for which it depends on its ability to execute new lease agreements and dispose of its real estate assets to the Joint Ventures The Group's revenues are determined by the ability to sign new lease contracts and by the disposal of real estate assets, in particular to the Sixth Joint Venture. The Group's short-term cash flow may be affected if it is unable to continue successfully signing new lease contracts and successfully disposing real estate assets, which could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result, the Group's solvency depends on its ability to create a healthy fi nancial structure in the long term with (i) a suffi ciently large recurring income stream from leasing agreements for the developed logistic properties (at both the Group's and the Joint Ventures' level) vis-à-vis the debt that is issued for fi nancing the acquisition and the development of those logistic properties, and (ii) the Group's ability to continue its development activities in a sustained and profi table way in order to produce income generating properties which once they have reached a mature stage can be sold to the Joint Ventures or eventually to a third party.
The Group is largely dependent on the income stream from the Joint Ventures. As a result, the Group receives fee and dividend income from the Joint Ventures instead of leasing income from mature assets. Hence it is important that a sufficiently large recurrent income at the Joint Ventures' level is created in order to upstream cash to the Group. Those dividend streams, as well as the proceeds of the disposal of the assets to the Joint Ventures, are important for the liquidity and the solvability of the Group for the purpose of cash recycling.

VGP Park Ústí nad Labem City
The Group's current income stream from the Joint Ventures as well as fee income from the Joint Ventures is rapidly increasing but still relatively limited compared to the considerable amount of debt (at both the Group's as well as Joint Ventures' level), as (i) the First Joint Venture has reached its investment capacity, (ii) the Second Joint Venture's investment phase has expired, (iii) the Third Joint Venture has for a large part completed its initial investment phase of VGP Park München, (iv) the Fifth Joint Venture has completed the acquisition of all the targeted assets in Germany and (v) the Sixth Joint Venture is still in its investment phase.
The liquidity of the Group´s assets is influenced by the ability of the Group to adhere a uniform building standard that is in line with the latest sustainability requirements. This standard is maintained through a number of actions; there is a continued dialogue with stakeholders, assessments are conducted both at asset and portfolio level, and the Group obtains an annual scoring from non-financial rating agencies and the execution of the ESG Strategy is reported in the annual report, providing transparency on actions and results.
Please also refer to the following risk factors, which are related hereto and which deal with certain aspects in more detail: risk factor 2.2 "The Group's development projects require large initial investments and will only start to generate income after a period of time", risk factor 3.1 "The Group's business, operations and financial conditions are significantly affected by (i) the underlying operational, financial and organisational risks of the Joint Ventures and (ii) the continuation of the acquisition of the completed assets from the Group", risk factor 4.1 "The Group's debt levels have substantially increased over the last years and the Group is exposed to a (re)financing risk" and risk factor 4.2 "The Group is exposed to risk of (re)financing from its Joint Ventures". For more information on the relationship with the Joint Ventures, please see section Strategy – Strategic partnerships.
The Group's success depends in part on its ability to manage future expansion and to identify attractive investment opportunities, and to manage and monitor its portfolio. These requirements can place significant demands on management, support functions, accounting and financial control, sales and marketing, ESG team and other resources, which involves a number of risks, including: the difficulty of assimilating operations and personnel in the Group's operations due to a lack of key competencies or lacking profile diversity, the potential disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management or non-engagement of employees. We refer to Corporate Responsibility Report for further information.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group has 380 employees1 (367.5 employees as at 31 December 2023). The Group aims to have a sufficiently large team to support the current growth rate of the Group.
VGP´s growth to date has been based on the ability to acquire appropriate land plots in strategic locations with sufficient size and other characteristics to allow for the development of the logistic and semi-industrial buildings. Currently, these are mainly old industrial brownfields. Such land plots remain scarce and competition for their acquisition is fierce. If the Group is not able to continue its track record of acquiring strategic land plots, it will have material adverse effect on the Group´s future growth and financial performance.
The Group´s ability to acquire assets is partially dependent also on its ability to adequately contribute to local social and economic development. If the Group fails to convince key stakeholders that it provides such contribution, this could harm the Group's chances of being accepted in the communities in which it operates and thus of securing the required land bank and/or permits for its developments.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group has a remaining development land bank in full ownership of 7,378,000 sqm which allows the Group to develop ca. 3,211,000sqm of future lettable area. This includes the remaining 179,000 sqm development land bank held by the Joint Ventures with a development potential of circa 85,000 sqm of new lettable area on which VGP has the development exclusivity. In addition, the Group has another 1,348,000 sqm of committed land plots which allow for the development of ca. 425,000 sqm of new projects. It is expected that these remaining land plots will be purchased during the next 6 to 18 months, subject to obtaining the necessary permits.
The total owned and committed land bank (including Joint Ventures at 100%) as at 31 December 2024 for development is therefore 8,726,000 sqm which represents a remaining development potential of ca. 3,636,000 sqm.
The strategy of the Group is focused on the development of income generating logistic properties and on the potential disposal of such properties once they have reached a mature stage.
Development projects tend to be subject to a variety of risks, each of which could cause late delivery of a project and, consequently, increase the development period leading up to its contemplated sale to or completion by the Joint Ventures, trigger a budget overrun, cause a loss or decrease of expected income from a project or even, in some cases, its actual termination.
The Group adopts a "first mover" strategy in respect of securing or acquiring land plots on strategic locations without necessarily having already identified a specific future tenant. The Group typically contractually secures land plots to develop its projects prior to the granting of the required permits. The secured land plots are only acquired once the necessary permits have been obtained thereby limiting the Group´s financial exposure to the following risks, although these cannot be fully excluded. In particular, the Group's projects are subject to the risk of changes in the relevant urban planning regulations and environmental, zoning and construction permits being obtained in a form consistent with the project plan and concept. The realisation of any project may, therefore, be adversely affected by (i) the failure to obtain, maintain or renew necessary permits, (ii) delays in obtaining, maintaining or renewing relevant permits and (iii) the failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the permits. Furthermore, a permit may be subject to an appeal by an interested party. Any such procedure could further delay the development and, ultimately, the sale of a project to or completion by the Joint Ventures and negatively impact the financial condition of the Group.
In recent years, the Group has experienced a significant lengthening of the period required for receiving the necessary permits for the developments. This is based on various factors, including increased workload, complexity of the projects (in particular in case of brownfield developments), more complex, new or changed regulations (including in the sustainability area) or inadequate staffing at authorities. It can currently take between 24 to 36 months in order to receive the necessary permits.
Completion of plot acquisitions and conclusion of leases may also be subject to certain conditions, including public law approvals, waivers and consents. Plots acquired by the Group may be subject to delays in registration of transfers and other formalities. Plots may also be subject to rights and encumbrances, including easements, repurchase and pre-emptive rights, special rights of use by third parties, protection orders and expropriation proceedings, as well as minor defects, remediation works and requirements to obtain use exemptions and permits, all of
VGP Park České Budějovice
which could impact development, lease or transfer plans and result in unforeseen delays and costs for the Group. In addition, properties may be subject to complex division and transfer procedures or the Group may only own a portion of a site. In these circumstances, the ability of the Group to develop, lease or transfer the property may be adversely affected, for example if registration of the Group's ownership is delayed or if the Group does not have sufficient access or if the allocation of properties or rights is imprecise or subject to challenge.
Other factors which may have an adverse effect on the development activities of the Group are, amongst others, unfamiliarity with local regulations, contract and labour disputes with construction contractors or subcontractors, accidents and natural hazards (including pollution identified only during construction phase), construction and design defects (including the risk of not addressing changing expectations regarding landscaping and nature based solutions), unforeseen site conditions which may require additional work and construction delays or destruction of projects during the construction phase (e.g. due to fire or flooding). We refer to Corporate Responsibility Report for further information.
In addition, when considering property development investments, the Group makes certain estimates as to the economic, market and other conditions, including estimates relating to the

value or potential value of a property and the potential return on investment. These estimates may prove to be incorrect, rendering the Group's strategy inappropriate with consequent negative effects on the Group's business, results of operations, financial conditions and prospects.
Finally, the Group is exposed to an increase in construction costs and organisational problems in the supply of the necessary raw materials or materials. In this respect, VGP is to a large extent subject to macro-economic developments, such as the volatility of raw material pricing (which is affected by the volatility in energy prices) and building materials and disruptions in the supply chain.
Taking into account all the aforementioned risks, the Group may not be able to complete all of its development projects in the expected time frame or within the expected budgets. If any of the risks highlighted above materialise and adversely impact the successful development of the Group´s projects, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's future business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Completion of plot acquisitions and conclusion of leases may also be subject to certain conditions, including public law approvals, waivers and consents. Plots acquired by the Group may be subject to delays in registration of transfers and other formalities. Plots may also be subject to rights and encumbrances, including easements, repurchase and pre-emptive rights in certain circumstances, special rights of use by third parties, protection orders and expropriation proceedings, as well as minor defects, remediation works and requirements to obtain use exemptions and permits, all of which could impact development, lease or transfer plans and result in unforeseen delays and costs for the Group. In addition, in certain cases, properties may be subject to complex division and transfer procedures or the Group may only own a portion of a site. In these circumstances, the ability of the Group to develop, lease or transfer the property may be adversely affected, for example, if registration of the Group's ownership is delayed or if the Group does not have sufficient access or if the allocation of properties or rights is imprecise or subject to challenge.
During the first phase of the development of a new project, no income will be generated by the new project until it is completed and delivered to a tenant. During such phase, the Group already makes significant investments in relation to the development of such project. The development phase of a VGP park typically takes 12 to 36 months and depends on the size of the park and its development potential. Once the construction of a building is initiated, it takes 9 to 12 months to complete, with longer periods applying to large (> 50,000 m²) and more complex buildings in terms of fit-out. The timing of a future sale to the Sixth Joint Venture also depends on the letting and development status of the income generating assets: a building needs to be 80% leased prior to such building being acquired by the Sixth Joint Venture. VGP retains the right to decide when to offer the park to the Sixth Joint Venture but shall do so no later than upon completion of 80% of the lettable area of the respective park included in the development pipeline of the Sixth Joint Venture.
Any delay in the development of such projects or the lease thereof could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group had contractual obligations to develop new projects which were not yet rent income generating for a total amount of € 512.4 million (compared to € 296.5 million as at 31 December 2023). Any delay in the development of such projects or the lease thereof could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Group's revenue from the sale of the projects to the Joint Ventures or to other third parties depend on the fair market value of its real estate projects. The results and cash flows of the Group may fluctuate significantly depending on the number of projects that can be developed and sold to the Joint Ventures and their respective fair market values.
The own Property Portfolio, excluding development land but including the assets being developed on behalf of the Joint Ventures, was valued by a valuation expert at 31 December 2024 based on a weighted average yield of 7.22% (compared to 6.22% as at 31 December 2023) applied to the contractual rents increased by the estimated rental value of unlet space. A 0.10% variation of this market rate would give rise to a variation of the total portfolio value of € 23.6 million.
The markets in which the Group operates are also exposed to local and international competition. Competition among property developers and operators may result in, amongst others, increased costs for the acquisitions of land for development, increased costs for raw material, shortages of skilled contractors, oversupply of properties and/or saturation of certain market segments, reduced rental rates, decrease in property prices and a slowdown in the rate at which new property developments are approved, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Group's revenues depend to a large extent on the volume of development projects. Hence the results and cash flows of the Group may fluctuate significantly depending on the number of projects that can be developed and sold to the Joint Ventures .
The volume of the Group's development projects depends largely on national and regional economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which the Group's Property Portfolio and development activities are located. The Group is currently active in Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, France, Croatia and the United Kingdom.
A change in the general economic conditions of the countries where the Group is present or will be present in the near future could result in lower demand for logistics space, rising vacancy rates and higher risks of default by tenants and other counterparties. For further information on the potential impact of such changes on the Group's portfolio, please refer to the sensitivity analysis included in notes 7, 9.2 and 13(v) of the 2024 Annual Report. The Group's main country exposure is Germany, with 52 % of the Group's Property Portfolio1 and projects under construction (own and Joint Ventures at 100% combined) located there as at 31 December 2024 (compared to 51% as at 31 December 2023).
The Group continues to depend to a large degree on the expertise and commercial qualities of its management, commercial and technical team and in particular on its Chief Executive Officer, Jan Van Geet.
In particular, if Jan Van Geet, as Chief Executive Officer of the Group, would no longer devote sufficient time to the development of the portfolio of the Third Joint Venture, Allianz can suspend the delivery period of the remaining development asset of the Third Joint Venture until he has been replaced to the satisfaction of Allianz. Similarly, if any person other than the Reference Shareholders gains control of the Group, this may constitute an event of default under certain of the Group's financing arrangements.
Experienced technical, marketing and support personnel in the real estate development industry are in high demand and competition for their talent is intense. In order to attract and retain personnel, a long-term incentive plan is in place for selected VGP Group executives and key managers. Further details regarding the long-term incentive plan are available in the Group's remuneration policy (Annex 7 of the Group's corporate governance charter, as available on the Group's website) as well as note 24 in the 2024 Annual Report and our Corporate Responsibility Report.
The loss of services of any members of the management or failure to attract and retain suffi ciently qualifi ed personnel may have a material adverse eff ect on the Group's business, fi nancial condition, operating results and cash fl ows. The loss of profi le diversity of the Group´s staff may lead to a risk of a loss in eff ectiveness in the Groups operations. A lack of resources committed to the management of ESG risks could lead to lower performance on ESG indicators provided by external benchmark agencies and be accordingly refl ected by the relevant stakeholders (on the capital markets or in the communities where the Group is active). Each of these may in turn have a material

adverse eff ect on the Group's business, fi nancial condition, operating results and cash fl ows.
Unexpected global, regional or national events could result in severe adverse disruptions to VGP Group, such as sustained asset value or revenue impairment, solvency or covenant stress, liquidity or business continuity challenges, in particular through the impact such events may have on the Group's tenants. A global event or business disruption may include but is not limited to a financial crisis, health pandemic, civil unrest, war, act of terrorism, cyberattack or other IT disruption. Events may be singular or cumulative, and lead to acute/systemic issues in the business and/or operating environment.
In addition, given the fact that VGP Group has activities neither in Russia nor in Ukraine, the Group´s operations have not been materially directly affected by the war in Ukraine. The indirect effects resulting from volatility of energy and raw material prices and the increase in interest rates have been significant, as reflected elsewhere in this report. Any price volatility may materially affect the Group´s operations.
The Group is active in certain neighbouring countries (Slovakia, Latvia, Romania and Hungary), but the activities in these countries have not experienced significant specific negative effects due to the ongoing war in Ukraine to date. However, in case that the war continues or proliferates, it may impact the Group´s operations also directly. The war may also directly or indirectly affect the tenants of the Group and thereby also the Group´s financial performance. To date, however, no such material effects have been identified by the Group.
The current global and European sanction packages introduced in response to Russia´s aggression have also not had a direct effect on the Group, as it had no significant commercial relationships with companies subject to such sanctions. The Group has introduced policies required to ensure compliance with applicable sanctions and screening of commercial counterparties. Should, however, the sanction policy of the European Union be significantly extended, it may affect some of the suppliers or customers of the Group and thereby materially affect the financial position of the Group.
Political tensions, in particular between the United States and China, Canada, Mexico, the EU and BRICS member countries, combined with potential spillover effects on the worldwide economic and political situation, can further elevate geopolitical risks. The president of the United States has repeatedly voiced his intention to introduce new trade tariffs for select goods imported to the United States. An example of such new tariffs was the introduction of tariffs in February 2025 on imports from Canada, Mexico and China and of additional tariffs on imports from Canada in March 2025. The president of the United States has recently also raised tariff threats against other economies, including the EU and BRICS member countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates). Beyond country-specific tariffs the president of the United States has also suggested the possibility of new global tariffs on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, oil, steel, aluminium, and copper. The potential introduction of additional trade tariffs between the United States, the European Union and other countries, the continuation of the established tariffs, or the creation of other barriers to the free trade of goods, may lead to a further increase in prices of goods and services.
The Group manages a large portfolio of standing assets. Such assets may be subject to natural hazards or other events, such as fire, explosions, collapse, burglary. While the Group subscribes market standard insurance to cover against such events, which are in the Group´s view reasonable, such insurance policies are subject to limits and exclusions and may not cover all the damages that the Group or a Joint Venture may sustain as a result of such events. We refer to Corporate Responsibility Report for further information.
The Group´s portfolio could be exposed to climate related risks, such as floods, droughts or heat waves. The effects of climate change might lead the closure or deterioration of VGP parks e.g. due to weather events, to inability to complete development projects, to cost overruns due to measures required for mitigation of the impact of climate change or due to various uninsurable risks.
The Group can also be exposed to unexpected expenses for improvement of its standing asset portfolio due to tightening of the building efficiency regulations, such as the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive or similar measures.
In this regard, the liquidity of the Group´s assets is influenced by the ability of the Group to adhere a uniform building standard that is in line with the latest sustainability requirements. This standard is maintained through a number of actions; there is a continued dialogue with stakeholders, assessments are conducted both at asset and portfolio level, and the Group obtains an annual scoring from non-financial rating agencies and the execution of VGP's ESG Strategy is reported in the annual report, providing transparency on actions and results.
Also, while the Group acts as the direct supplier of energy for its tenants only to a limited extent and, in this respect seeks to hedge its exposure to the volatility of energy prices, if the energy markets suffer sustained tensions over longer periods of time, the Group may be exposed to unexpected expenses related to investment or operational measures required to accommodate the requirements of the tenants resulting from such market movements.
The Group may be exposed to risks related to Health, Safety and wellbeing of people in our properties and on the construction sites. VGP provides a workspace for its own employees, its contractors on the construction sites and its tenants in the standing portfolio. Failing to provide a safe and healthy work environment for each of these stakeholders could have a significant impact on VGP's reputation as a partner and an employer. With various health and safety measures in place and regular reviews being performed at the construction sites incidents can still occur.
For the construction of new developments and during the lifecycle of its assets the Group deals with several risks related to natural resource usage and the circular economy. These can be related but not limited to inadequate performance on waste management operations or tensions over materials needed for development projects.
Each of these risks may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
3.1 The Group's business, operations and financial conditions are significantly affected by (i) the underlying operational, financial and organisational risks of the Joint Ventures and (ii) the continuation of the acquisition of completed assets from the Group
In order to enable the Group to continue to invest in its development pipeline whilst at the same time being adequately fi nanced, the Group has currently three 50:50 joint ventures with Allianz (the Allianz Joint Ventures) and one 50:50 joint venture with each of Deka and Areim. The Sixth Joint Venture (the Areim Joint Venture) still remains in its investment phase open for the acquisition of new assets. The Development Joint Ventures consist of (i) the 75:25 joint venture with VUSA (the VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture), which relates to VGP Park Belartza, and (ii) the 50:50 joint venture with Revikon (the VGP Park Siegen Joint Venture), which relates to VGP Park Siegen. The Joint Ventures are either focused on acquiring income generating assets which are being developed by the Group, with the Sixth Joint Venture still in its investment phase, or on the development of projects.
These Joint Ventures allow the Group to recycle in part its initial invested capital when completed projects are acquired by the Joint Venture or when buildings are completed by a Joint Venture and allow the Group to re-invest these monies in the continued expansion of the development pipeline, including the further expansion of the land bank, thus allowing VGP to concentrate on its core development activities.
The Group may be significantly affected by the Joint Ventures, which are subject to additional risks such as:
not agree to complete these assets and include them in the portfolio of the respective Joint Venture, in which case this may have negative impact on the financial position of the Group;
For example, the Fourth Joint Venture was scheduled to become effective at the moment of its first closing, which was initially expected to occur in November 2022. However, in view of the limited transparency on pricing of the seed portfolio and in the then volatile market environment, Allianz and VGP announced on 30 September 2022 that they were postponing the seed portfolio closing of the Fourth Joint Venture until such time both partners expected that a calmer environment would have returned. To this end Allianz has formally waived the exclusivity obligation in respect of the initial pipeline portfolio allowing VGP to sell the initial pipeline portfolio to one or multiple third parties, including through the establishment of a new alternative joint venture(s). As no transaction pursuant to the agreement on the establishment of the Fourth Joint Venture took place in 2023 and consequently two new Joint Ventures (the Fifth and Sixth) were established, the agreement on the establishment of the Fourth Joint Venture has been terminated.
The occurrence of any or all such risks could have a material adverse eff ect on the Joint Ventures' business, fi nancial condition and results of operations, which in turn could have a material adverse eff ect on the Group's business, fi nancial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Joint Ventures are exposed to many of the risks to which the Group is exposed, including amongst others the risks for the Group as described in the following sections: risk factor 1.1 "The Group may not be able to continue its development activities in a sustained and profi table way, for which it depends on its ability to execute new lease agreements and dispose of its real estate assets to the Joint Ventures" (but only in relation to the ability to execute new lease agreements, not the ability to dispose of assets), risk factor 2.1 "The Group's development projects may experience delays and other diffi culties, especially in respect of receiving necessary permits and increases in construction costs" and risk factor 2.4 "The Group could experience a lower demand for logistics space due to fl uctuating economic conditions in regional and global markets", all as in this section Risk Factors.
The Company is a holding company of which the sole activity is the holding, financing and management of its assets, i.e. its participations in the Subsidiaries and in the Joint Ventures. The real estate portfolios of the Group are owned through specific asset companies which are subsidiaries of the Group or which are subsidiaries of the Joint Ventures.
Accordingly, the Company depends on the cash flows from the members of the Group, proceeds for the disposal of the Group´s assets to the Joint Ventures and the distributions paid to it by members of the Group or the Joint Ventures. The ability of the Subsidiaries and the Joint Ventures to make distributions to the Group depends on the rental income generated by their respective portfolios.

VGP Park Laxenburg
The Joint Ventures generated € 32.7 million in management fee income for the year ending 31 December 2024, compared to € 26.9 million for the year ending 31 December 2023. 'Excess' cash distributions by the Joint Ventures for the period ending 31 December 2024 amounted to € 85.6million (compared to € 82 million for the year ending 31 December 2023).
The financing arrangements of the Joint Ventures and the Subsidiaries are subject to a number of covenants and restrictions which could restrict the ability to upstream cash to the Group. The bank facilities require the Joint Ventures and the Subsidiaries to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specific financial tests. A failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not remedied or waived, could result in a Joint Venture or the members of the Group being required to repay these borrowings before their due date, which would adversely impact their capacity to upstream cash to the Company.
The Group has granted signifi cant loans to the Joint Ventures and to the Joint Ventures' subsidiaries, amounting to € 641.5 million as at 31 December 2024 (compared to € 875.1 million as at 31 December 2023). These outstanding loans carry the risk of late, partial or non-repayment in the event of underperformance by any of the Joint Ventures or their subsidiaries. In addition, in respect of the loans made to the Joint Ventures´ subsidiaries to fi nance the development of buildings on behalf of the Joint Ventures, the loans may not be repaid in case that the respective Joint Venture partner refuses to acquire the development building.
For more details on the effects of the performance of the Joint Ventures, please also refer to risk factor 3.1 "The Group's business, operations and financial conditions are significantly affected by (i) the underlying operational, financial and organisational risks of the Joint Ventures and (ii) the continuation of the acquisition of completed assets from the Group" and risk factor 3.2 "The Group is a holding company with no operating income and is solely dependent on distributions made by, and the financial performance of, the Joint Ventures and the members of the Group".
In view of the geographic expansion, accelerated growth of the Group and more generally, the sustained growth of the demand for logistics warehouse space, the Group has incurred significant borrowings in recent years. VGP expects that debt levels in (nominal terms) will continue to increase but is convinced that it will be able to execute its growth strategy within a Gearing Ratio of 65%.
VGP is continuously optimising its capital structure with an aim to maximise shareholder value while keeping the desired flexibility to support its growth. Between 2020 and 2022, VGP successfully completed four share placements resulting in a net increase of the Group's equity with € 888.9 million resulting in the issuance of 8,708,262 of new shares. In 2020, VGP successfully completed two share placements resulting in a net increase of the Group's equity with € 295.4 million. In November 2021, VGP successfully completed share placement resulting in a net increase of the Group's equity with € 294.9 million. In November 2022, the Group successfully completed another share placement, through a rights issue, resulting in a net increase of the Group's equity with € 298.7 million.
As at 31 December 2024, the net debt of the Group amounted to € 1,564.6 million (compared to € 1,777.6million as at 31 December 2023). The Gearing Ratio was 33.6% (compared to 40.3% as at 31 December 2023).
As at 31 December 2024, the Group had bonds outstanding for a total amount of € 1,862 million (all being unsecured bonds and including a € 8.1 million of capitalised finance costs) and had a remaining financial debt of € 195.5 million1 , of which € 26 million related to Schuldschein Loans, € 134.6 million relates to the bank loan from EIB, and € 34.9 million related to accrued interest. The weighted average maturity of the debt stands at 3.8 years as at 31 December 2024, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.20% per annum. Please also refer to the maturity profile financial debt which can be found in section "Business Review: Capital and financial position"
Considering the model of the Joint Ventures, additional short-term bank debt might occasionally be needed to cover temporary cash shortfalls due to timing of recycling of development shareholder loans granted to the Joint Ventures or to the subsidiaries developing the Group´s properties. These shareholder loans are repaid when projects are acquired by a Joint Venture or when adequate bank credit facilities (or accumulated operating cash flows) are available to allow partial refinancing of invested equity.
The Group is currently constructing a considerable amount of assets and has a number of large developments which have recently been or will shortly be initiated and which will require some time before being sold to a Joint Venture or being eligible for refi nancing through bank debt. As a result, higher peak funding needs may arise between the various Joint Ventures closings. In order to allow the Group to comfortably bridge these periods the Group has arranged additional revolving credit facilities.
For a detailed overview of the evolution of the Group's current financing arrangements, please refer to section "Business Review: Capital and financial position".
Given its accelerated growth strategy, the Group may not be able to refinance its financial debt or may be unable to attract new financing or to negotiate and enter into new financing agreements on terms which are commercially desirable. If the Group is unable to receive financing at all or at favourable terms, this may have an impact on the Group's cash flow and results and, thus, the Group may be unable to proceed with or to execute certain developments and may have to delay the initiation of certain projects.
VGP depends on the ability of each of the Joint Ventures to have sufficient long-term financing in place to allow it to acquire income generating assets developed by VGP or to allow it to refinance the development costs incurred when developing the respective parks of these Joint Ventures.
The First Joint Venture has 10-year committed credit facilities (all maturing at the end of May 2026), in Germany, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Hungary. As at 31 December 2024, the aggregate outstanding credit facilities amounted to € 883.3 million which were fully drawn. The investment period of the First Joint Venture has ended in May 2021. The Loan to Value Ratio stood at 35.4% as at 31 December 2024.
The Second Joint Venture has a 10-year € 483 million committed credit facility (maturing at the end of July 2029), in respect of the assets it holds in Spain, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands and a 10-year € 44.3 million committed credit facility (maturing in June 2029) in respect of the assets it holds in Romania. As at 31 December 2024, the aggregate outstanding credit facilities were fully drawn and have an outstanding balance of € 486.2 million. The Loan to Value Ratio stood at 50.9% as at 31 December 2024.
The Third Joint Venture drew a € 65.5 million committed credit facility (maturing on 22 June 2029) in respect of the financing of the first two completed buildings in VGP Park München during 2023 and another credit facility in an amount of € 84.5 million in respect of the buildings which were completed in December 2022. As at 31 December 2024, the aggregate outstanding credit facilities were fully drawn and have an outstanding balance of € 148.6 million. The Loan to Value Ratio stood at 4.7% as at 31 December 2024.
The Fifth Joint Venture, which executed its first closing in 2023 and two closings in 2024, has a committed credit facility of € 330 million maturing at 31 August 2030. These facilities are fully drawn at 31 December 2024. The Loan to Value Ratio stood at 25.7% as at 31 December 2024.
Finally, as at the 31 December 2024, the Sixth Joint Venture has drawn € 203.8 million of its currently committed credit facilities in the amount of € 209.3 million in Czech Republic, France, Germany and Slovakia, maturing in 2029. The Loan to Value Ratio stood at 30.8% as at 31 December 2024.
The Joint Ventures may not be able to refinance their financial debt or may be unable to attract new financing or to negotiate and enter into new financing agreements on terms which are commercially desirable. If the Joint Ventures are unable to receive financing at all or at favourable terms, it may have an impact on the Group's cash flow and results. In such circumstances, the Group may be unable to proceed with or to execute certain developments and may have to delay the initiation of certain projects.
Under the terms of the bonds, Schuldschein Loans and bank credit facilities, the Group needs to ensure that it complies at all times with the respective covenants set forth therein. Failing

to do so will result in the Group being in default under several (if not all) of the outstanding bonds, Schuldschein Loans and/or bank credit facilities. Moreover, if any person other than the Reference Shareholders gains control of the Group, this may constitute an event of default under certain of the Group's financing arrangements. This may lead to an obligation of the Group to repay in full all outstanding financial indebtedness thereunder, which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows and, subsequently, on the potential for the Group to satisfy its obligations under the Bonds.
While the Group monitors its covenants on an on-going basis in order to ensure compliance and to identify any potential problems of non-compliance for action, there can be no assurances that the Group will at all times be able to comply with these covenants. During 2024, the Group remained well within its covenants.
The terms and conditions of the Mar-25 Bond, the Mar-26 Bond, the Apr-29 Bond, the Jan-27 Bond, the Jan-30-Bond and the Schuldschein Loans all have the same financial covenants.
As at 31 December 2024, the Consolidated Gearing1 stood at 33.9% (compared to 40.9% as at 31 December 2023) against a maximum covenant ratio of 65%. The Interest Cover Ratio was 606.7 as at 31 December 2024 compared to 13.4 as at 31 December 2023) against a minimum covenant ratio of 1.20. The Debt Service Cover Ratio was 11.5 as at 31 December 2024 (compared to 1.73 as at 31 December 2023) against a minimum covenant ratio of 1.20.
The Group has a public financial rating determined by an independent rating agency. On 26 March 2021, Fitch gave the Company a long-term investment grade rating of 'BBB-' (stable outlook). This rating was affirmed by Fitch on 8 September 2022, on 4 September 2023 and on 4 September 2024, however, it may be suspended, reduced or withdrawn at any time.
A rating downgrade would have a direct effect on the Group's cost of financing. A rating downgrade could also have an indirect effect on the appetite of credit providers to deal with the Company or an indirect effect on its financing cost or on its ability to finance its growth and activities. If the Group is unable to receive financing or financing against favourable terms, this may have an impact on the Company's cash flow and results and, thus, the Group may be unable to proceed with or to execute certain developments and may have to delay the initiation of certain projects.
As the Group is active and intends to further develop business in the mid-European countries (whereby the Group's current focus is on Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, France, Croatia, Denmark and the United Kingdom), the Group is subject to a wide range of EU, national and local laws and regulations. These include requirements in terms of building and occupancy permits (which must be obtained in order for projects to be developed and let), as well as zoning, health and safety, environmental, monument protection, tax, planning, foreign ownership limitations and other laws and regulations.
Because of the complexities involved in procuring and maintaining numerous licenses and permits, there can be no assurance that the Group will at all times be in compliance with all of the requirements imposed on properties and the Group's business. Any failure to, or delay in, complying with applicable laws and regulations or failure to obtain and maintain the requisite approvals and permits could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In this respect, please also refer to risk factor 2.1 "The Group's development projects may experience delays and
1 Calculated by reference to the terms and conditions of the bonds and Schuldschein Loan documentation.
other difficulties, especially in respect of receiving necessary permits and increases in construction costs".
Furthermore, changes in laws and governmental regulations, or their interpretation by agencies or the courts, could occur. Such regulatory changes and other economic and political factors, including civil unrest, governmental changes and restrictions on the ability to transfer capital in the foreign countries in which the Group has invested, could have a materially adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
The Group may face contractual disputes which may or may not lead to legal proceedings as the result of a wide range of events, especially during the construction and development phase. The most likely disputes include: (i) actual or alleged deficiencies in its execution of construction projects (including relating to the design, installation or repair of works); (ii) defects in the building materials; and (iii) deficiencies in the goods and services provided by suppliers, contractors, and sub-contractors.
In addition, after the development phase, the Group may become subject to disputes with tenants, commercial contractors or other parties in relation to the leasing, for example, in ensuring such parties comply with obligations, regulations and restrictions to which the Group may be subject.
As a result, disputes, accidents, injuries or damages at or relating to one of the Group's ongoing or completed projects resulting from the Group's actual or alleged deficient actions could result in significant liability, warranty or other civil and criminal claims, as well as reputational harm. These liabilities may not be insurable or could exceed the Group's insurance coverage limit.
At the 31 December 2024, no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings have been started or are threatened against the Group which may have, or have had in the recent past, material adverse effects on the Group and/or the Group's financial position or profitability.
Other legal risks comprise the risk related to bribery and corruption, money laundering and financing of terrorism or non-compliance with regulations. If any incident takes place in any of these areas, it could have a severe impact on the Group's reputation and possibly its business continuity. In order to mitigate these risks, the Group instituted a compulsory compliance training for all of its team members and requires the team members to confirm the knowledge Code of Conduct. There is also a clear procedure for screening business partners. In addition, VGP has an Insider Trading Rules procedure. Should any stakeholder have a concern there are whistleblowing procedures accessible 24/7 to all employees and contractors with a guarantee against retaliation.
With regard to lobbying activities and the reporting of such activities VGP has a Political Activity Policy: VGP has a principal policy of no political engagement and participating in political activities. If any activities would occur, they require CEO approval and have to be reported. Where legally required to do so, the Group complies with its obligations to declare applicable lobbying activities, such as in the EU or Belgian legislative bodies. Nevertheless, if any incident takes place in any of these areas, it could have a severe impact on the Group's reputation and possibly its business continuity.
The Group is reliant on a large variety of IT equipment and applications, including the enterprise resource planning software it uses as well as many specialized technical or standard office applications. As a result, the Group is exposed to the risk of its IT equipment being subject to a cyber-attack or to another
accident resulting into operational difficulties, data loss or even inability to continue with the development of its projects. Cyber and IT incidents could have a severe impact on the functioning of the group as the company relies heavily on communication and collaborations across different countries.
To mitigate the risk, the Group introduced several initiatives, including policies, system measures, audits, etc. The main MIS and operating system which the Group uses for email and file exchange is compliant with ISO 27001 and the Group's new ERP, operating metrics, billing and payment system is fully compliant to ISO 27001 and ISO 27018. The Group's IT system has been recently subject to a security audit and the Group is implementing the recommendations resulting from such audit. The Group also only uses reputable service providers for network maintenance. To ensure employee awareness the Group uses groupwide employee training and specific business training on data protection awareness and cybersecurity.


Considering the size of its own and joint ventures' asset portfolios, VGP places sustainability risks at the heart of its strategy with an integrated commitment to make sustainability a core part of the VGP business. The Group has developed a sustainability strategy based on environmental best practices, social fairness and transparent governance. VGP's ESG Strategy (for more information please refer to in the Corporate Responsibility Report) aims to address the main challenges faced by the Group with its operational activities in all geographies. As a developer and operator of semi-industrial and logistics assets, VGP has identified a broad range of sustainability risks and opportunities which are related to several departments and activities within the business such as energy efficiency/ transition, asset resilience to climate change, evolving taxonomy and environmental regulations, supply chain due diligence, green financing and societal risks – all of which are integrated into the Group's risk management framework.
In this regard, it should be noted that there is currently no clear single definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a "green" or "sustainable" or an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise attributes are required for a particular project to be defined as "green" or "sustainable" or to receive such other equivalent label. The European Union is currently developing and has already adopted various sustainability-related rules and regulations, including the EU Taxonomy Regulation, establishing the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy. The EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy is subject to further development by way of the implementation by the European Commission through delegated regulations of technical screening criteria for the environmental objectives set out in the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
The Group commits to be compliant with the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor ('CRREM') on a best efforts basis, targeting a minimum of 50% of non-stranded assets during the upcoming 10-year period based on the 1.5oC GHG pathway. The CRREM calculation methodology of the 1.5oC GHG pathway has over the last few years been subject to change, adversely impacting the Group's portfolio stranding year. The calculation methodology is likely to be further adjusted in the future which could again adversely impact the Group's portfolio stranding year. When the target at portfolio level is not achieved, a remediation plan for specific stranded assets will be developed if deemed necessary in order to evaluate and identify optimal technical adjustments in order to achieve portfolio compliance. Based on the GRESB 2023 portfolio energy consumption profile offset by the photovoltaic installations pipeline as envisaged to be built in the coming years, the 1.5oC GHG pathway stranding occurs not before 2033. In order to achieve 1.50C-compliance the Group needs to continue to build in accordance with its building standard requiring minimum BREEAM Excellent and aiming for EU Taxonomy compliance. In order to achieve compliance, new buildings delivered are in principle no longer heated with gas-powered heating which requires additional Capital Expenditure compared to conventional gas-powered heating systems. Furthermore, the Group identified a number of retrofit and portfolio improvements amounting to EUR 100 million (including investments in photovoltaic projects) which will be required in order to achieve portfolio compliance. Achieving portfolio 1.5oC GHG pathway compliance also depends on the willingness of VGP's tenants to accept green lease agreements and their willingness and ability to pay extra for green electricity procurement.
Non-compliance with laws and regulations, reporting requirements, or customer or investor expectations, both in respect of the Group and the Group's service providers, suppliers, subcontractors and tenants, could cause loss of value to the Group. Not keeping pace with social attitudes and customer behaviours and preferences could additionally cause reputational damage and reduce the attractiveness and value of the Group's assets. A lack of strong environmental credentials may reduce access to capital or increase cost as these are increasingly important criteria to investors and lenders.
Furthermore, laws, regulations, policies, taxation, obligations, customer preferences and social attitudes relating to climate change continue to evolve. Given the fast-evolving technological and regulatory requirements and environment, as well as the uncertainties in relation to the interpretation of some of the new ESG rules and regulations (including, for example under the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act), no assurance can be given that the Group will be able to meet all such requirements or expectations or requirements of investors, shareholders or other stakeholders. The evolving environment, as well as the likelihood of the physical effects of climate change increasing in frequency and severity over time, could lead to interrupted supply chains, declines in asset values or significant shifts in demand for certain products or services, and the Group could be subject to increased costs and liabilities as a result.

However, the underlying rental income has been generated from a substantially different portfolio versus previous period as several transactions took place with Joint Ventures in '23 and '24 in which rental income generating assets have been disposed and deconsolidated and delivered assets in the own portfolio started to become income generating instead.
During 2024, € 45.7 million of annualised rental income including the Joint Ventures at 100%, have become cash generative. Another € 62.6 million, of which € 52.4 million in the own portfolio, is still to be activated (upon delivery of assets). Thereof, € 39 million, or € 31.4 million in the own portfolio is expected to become cash generative in the next twelve months.
Annualised rental income growth incl. JV's at 100% (in € mln)

Net rental income, on a look through basis4 grew with 20.9% from € 159.1 million to € 192.4 million, knowing that at year-end € 214.7 million (versus € 194.3 million, or + 10.5%) on a proportional look through basis, has become cash generative.

1 Revenue is composed of gross rental and renewable energy income, service charge income, property and facility management income and property development income
4 Refer to 'supplementary notes', income statement proportionally consolidated
The net renewable energy income over 2024 amounted to € 6 million compared to € 3.5 million over FY2023. This was driven by an increase of 96% in the effective production sold in 2024 to 90 GWh.
The operational solar capacity increased significantly to 155.7MWp, up 53% year-over-year which should equate to a marketable production potential of circa 130 GWh.
As of December 2024, a total of 39 projects representing 41.0 MWp are under construction. Including projects under construction the total solar power generation capacity will increase to 196.8 MWp spread over 147 roof-projects in 10 countries. As at the 31st of December 2024 this represents a total aggregate investment amount of € 121 million (incl. current commitments for projects under construction).
With regards to the pipeline, an additional 97 solar power projects are in contractual/design phase (including in 4 additional countries) which equates to an added power generation capacity of 90.9 MWp. The current total solar portfolio, including pipeline projects, totals 287.7 MWp.
The Joint Venture management fee income amounted to € 32.7 million, a 21% increase versus FY '23. The Joint Venture management fee income consists of two main components, on the one hand property and facility management income, which increased from € 22.5 million to € 27 million and on the other hand development management income, which increased with € 1.3 million to € 5.7 million.
During 2024, the net valuation gains on the property portfolio reached € 187.1 million compared to a net valuation gain of € 88 million for the period ended 31 December 2023.
The net valuation gain was mainly driven by: (i) € 94.2 million unrealised valuation gain on the own and disposal group held for sale portfolio, and (ii) € 92.9 million realised valuation gain, mainly on assets transferred as part of transactions with the Fifth Joint Venture (Deka), the Third Joint Venture (Ymir) and the first and second closing with the Sixth Joint Venture (Areim), as well as the disposal of the Development Joint Venture LPM.
The own property portfolio, excluding development land but including the buildings being constructed on behalf of the

VGP Park Fuenlabrada
Joint Ventures, is valued by the valuation expert at 31 December 2024 based on a weighted average yield of 7.22 % (compared to 6.22% as at 31 December 2023) applied to the contractual rents increased by the estimated rental value on unlet space.
The real estate valuations were broadly stable during 2024. The (re)valuation of the own portfolio was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Io Partners, preferred partner of Jones Lang LaSalle.
The administrative expenses for the period increased to € 61.3 million compared to € 48.9 million for the period ended 31 December 2023.
The group's headcount of 380 FTE's increased with 12.5 FTE's compared to 2023. The main variance to the previous period relates to increased remuneration by € 6.8 million (mainly by provisions for the Long Term Incentive Plan), general admin costs by € 1.8 million, as well as increases in depreciation of € 2.7 million and lower capitalized costs of € 1.3 million.
VGP's share of the joint ventures' profit for the period came in at € 92.7 million versus a loss of € 10.7 million for the period ending 31 December 2023. The main drivers can be summarized as follows (at share):
As at December 2024, the Joint Ventures account for € 285.7 million of annualised committed leases representing 4.6 million sqm of lettable area compared to € 226.9 million of annualised committed leases representing 3.7 million sqm at the end of December 2023.
The (re)valuation of all Joint Ventures' portfolios was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Io partners, preferred partner of Jones Lang Lasalle.
Other expenses included a € 1.75 million contribution to the VGP Foundation.
Net financial result increased from a net expense of € 6 million to an income of € 2.4 million. The delta can be mainly explained by (i) lower interests of € 3.1 million following the repayment of € 375 million of bonds in '23 and € 75 million in '24, though partially off-set by increased interest expense on the new EIB Loan of € 135 million, (ii) an increase of financial income of 5.8 million (up to € 12.3 million) as a result of interest received on term deposits, as well as (iii) increased interest income on loans to joint ventures and associates in amount of € 10.4 million and (iv) a reduction of capitalized interests in amount of € 11.4 million.
At 31 December 2024 the average cost of debt amounts to 2.20%. The average term of the credit facilities amounts to 3.7 years.
The tax expense of € 32.6 million contains a deferred tax cost of € 21.7 million (versus € 9.5 million in '23) and a current tax cost of € 10.9 million (versus € 15.9 million in '23). This equates to an effective current tax rate of 8%1 , versus 17% in '23. The decrease in effective current tax rate is the result of higher realised gains on disposal of subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and investment properties, which are exempted from additional corporate income taxes.

and the Second Joint Venture (€ 3.3 million), an additional investment in the Development Joint Venture Belartza (€ 5.2 million), the disposal of the Development Joint Venture LPM (€ 18.7 million) as well as VGP's share in the result of the Joint Ventures in amount of € 92.7 million.
The non-current and current financial debt increased from € 1,997 million as at 31 December 2023 to € 2,057 million as at 31 December 2024.

VGP expects to substantially grow its net rental income, including the Joint Ventures at share, following the expected delivery of € 39 million new lease agreements in '25, as well as profiting from the annualised effect of deliveries in '24 and indexation on the total portfolio. Deployment of new constructions will be, as always, weighted against pre-let ratio's and market demand, though VGP has the availability of increasing its total rental income with minimum € 253 million up to at least € 666 million annualised rental income including the Joint Ventures. Thereof already exist pre-lets for
€ 20.8 million, or 135,000 sqm which already boost the development activity of '25. In the same time, VGP targets to expand its land bank substantially in existing and new territories. VGP is also exploring the possibilities of new investments in both Battery Energy Storage Systems and Data Centers in all
locations which it has currently in ownership or under control. To strengthen its liquidity position, the Group increased its undrawn credit facilities with € 25 million in Q1 '25. In parallel, the Group targets a number of closings with existing Joint Venture's and endeavours to broaden its Joint Venture model with new and/or existing Joint Venture partners. Finally, the Group proposes to the annual shareholders meeting to pay-out a dividend of € 90 million, an increase of 12% versus the ordinary dividend of '24.

VGP NV (the "Company") is a limited liability company and was incorporated under Belgian law on 6 February 2007 for an indefinite period of time with its registered office located at Generaal Lemanstraat 55 box 4, 2018 Antwerp, Belgium and the Company is registered under enterprise number 0887.216.042 (Register of Legal Entities of Antwerp – Division Antwerp).
The Group is a pure-play real estate group specialised in the acquisition, development, and management of logistic real estate, i.e. buildings suitable for logistical purposes and light industrial activities. The Group focuses on strategically located plots of land or brownfields suitable for development of logistic business parks of a certain size, so as to build up an extensive and well-diversified land bank on top locations, i.e. locations in the vicinity of highly concentrated living and/or production centres, with an optimal access to transport infrastructure.
The aim of the Group is to become a leading pan-European owner, manager and developer of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate.
The Group is currently active in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Romania, Latvia, Croatia, France, Denmark and Serbia.
The Company's consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "Group"). The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors on 4 April 2025.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which have been adopted by the European Union. These standards comprise all new and revised standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Interpretations Committee of the IASB, as far as applicable to the activities of the Group and effective as from 1 January 2024. Standards and interpretations applicable for the annual report beginning on or after 1 January 2024
The above new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations did not give rise to any material changes in the presentation and preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the year.
Standards and interpretations published, but not yet applicable for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2024:
beginning on or after 1 January 2026, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
The impact of the initial implication of the new IFRS standard IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is currently under investigation by the Group. The initial application of all other above standards, amendments to standards and interpretation is estimated will not to give rise to any material changes in the presentation and preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historic cost basis, with the exception of investment properties and financial derivatives which are stated at fair value. All figures are in thousands of Euros (in thousands of €), unless stated otherwise. Minor rounding differences might occur.
Subsidiaries are entities over which VGP NV exercises control, which is the case when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
— Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
A joint venture exists when VGP NV has contractually agreed to share control with one or more other parties, which is the case only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Associates are companies in which VGP NV, directly or indirectly, has a significant influence and which are neither subsidiaries nor joint ventures. This is presumed if the Group holds at least 20% of the voting rights attaching to the shares. The financial information included for these companies is prepared using the accounting policies of the Group. When the Group has acquired joint control in a joint venture or significant influence in an associate, the share in the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is initially re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and accounted for using the equity method. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the share in the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. When the goodwill is negative, it is immediately recognized in profit or loss. Subsequently, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the results of joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method until the date when joint control or significant influence ceases. If the Group's share of the losses of a joint venture or associate exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investment is carried at nil value and recognition of additional losses is limited except to the extent that VGP has incurred constructive or contractual obligations in respect of the associate.
Unrealized gains arising from transactions with joint ventures and associates are set against the investment in the joint venture or associate concerned to the extent of the Group's interest. The carrying amounts of investments in joint ventures and associates are reassessed if there are indications that the asset has been impaired or that impairment losses recognized in prior years have ceased to apply. The investments in joint ventures and associates in the balance sheet include the carrying amount of any related goodwill.
IAS 28.28 only permits recognition of the gain or loss from downstream transactions "to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture". However, the standard does not specifically address the treatment of revenue derived from transactions with equity-method investees (e.g. revenue from the sale of goods, or interest revenue) and whether that revenue should be eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. In respect of the treatment of revenues derived from transactions with joint ventures and associates (e.g. sales services, interest revenue, …), the Group has opted not to eliminate its interest in these transactions. As a matter of example, VGP receives € 100 interest income on a loan provided to a 50/50 joint venture. Under the accounting policy adopted by VGP this interest income would be accounted for as € 100 interest income of the Group. The cost incurred by the joint venture would be accounted for on a proportional (50%) basis through "results in joint ventures and associates" without making any adjustment for the proportional interest held by VGP. By doing so the Group will only recognise its proportional profit or loss in its consolidated figures and ensure that it does not recognise a higher profit or loss than its share in the "results in joint ventures and associates".
In contrast, according to IFRS 10.25 upon loss of control of a subsidiary, a parent de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary (including non-controlling interests) in full and measures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. In the absence of any other relevant guidance, entities have, in effect, an accounting policy choice of applying either the approach in IFRS 10 or the approach in IAS 28. VGP has made the accounting policy choice to recognize the gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate in full in profit or loss.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros (€), which is the Company's functional currency and the Group's presentation currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Euro at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Consequently, non-monetary assets and liabilities are presented at Euro using the historic foreign exchange rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than Euro at the balance sheet date are translated to Euro at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
When VGP acquires the control over an integrated set of activities and assets, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the identifiable assets, obligations and conditional obligations of the acquired company will be booked to their fair value on the purchase date. The goodwill represents the positive difference between the acquisition cost and the part of the group in the fair value of the acquired net assets. If this difference is negative (negative goodwill) it is immediately booked in the result after a re-evaluation of the values.
After the initial take-up the goodwill is not written down, but subject to an impairment test, which is carried out each year on the cash fl ow generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. If the book value of a cash fl ow generating unit exceeds the operating value, the loss of value following from this will be booked in the result and in the fi rst instance included in the reduction of the possible goodwill and then subsequently to the other assets of the unit, in proportion to their book value. A write-down on the goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent fi nancial year.
Intangible assets are measured at cost or fair value less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the best estimate of their useful lives. The amortization period and method are reviewed at each financial year-end.
Completed properties are initially measured at cost (including transaction costs). After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. An external independent valuation expert with recognised professional qualifications and experience in the location and category of the property being valued, values the portfolio at least annually. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Property that is being constructed or developed is also stated at fair value. The properties under construction are also valued by an external independent valuation expert using the same valuation methodology as used for the valuations of the completed projects but deducting the remaining construction costs from the calculated market value of the respective projects.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property and all subsequent capital expenditure qualifying as acquisition costs are capitalised.
Land of which the Group has the full ownership i.e. registered in the respective land registry as owner and on which the Group intends to start construction (so called 'development land') is immediately valued at fair value. The development land is valued by an external independent valuation expert using the valuation sales comparative approach.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
All costs directly associated with the purchase of the development land are capitalised.
Land which is not yet in full ownership but which is secured by a future purchase agreement or purchase option is not recognised as investment property until the Group has become full owner of this land.
The Group will be required to make from time to time down payments when entering into such future purchase agreements or purchase options. The down payments of the land will be recorded as other receivables unless such amounts are immaterial, in which case the Board of Directors may elect to classify such amounts under investment properties.
Infrastructure works are not included in the fair value of the development land but are recognised as investment property and valued at cost.
In case the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the fair value of the development land cannot be reliable determined the Board may elect to value the development land at cost less impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable.
Interest and other financial expenses relating to the acquisition and development of assets incurred until the asset is put in use are capitalised. The capitalisation of the interests is determined on the weighted average cost of debt for the group. Subsequently, they are recorded as financial expenses.
At the start of the lease period, the leases (except for leases with a maximum term of twelve months and leases whose underlying assets are of low value) are recognised on the balance sheet as rights of use and lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments. Next, all rights of use that qualify as investment properties are valuated at fair value, in accordance with the valuation rules detailed under 2.7 Investment properties. The minimum lease payments are recognised in part as financing costs and in part as settlement of the outstanding liability, in a manner resulting in a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability. The cost of financing is offset directly against the result. Conditional lease payments are incorporated as costs in the periods in which they were made.
If a lease meets the conditions of a fi nancial lease (according to IFRS 16), VGP as the lessor will recognise the lease from its start date as a receivable in the balance sheet at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The diff erence between this latter amount and the book value of the leased property (exclusive of the value of the residual right held by VGP) at the start of the lease will be recognised in the profi t and loss account for that period. Each periodic payment made by the lessee will be partly recognised by VGP as a repayment of the capital and partly as fi nancial income based on a constant periodic return for VGP. The residual right held by VGP will be recognised at its fair value on each balance sheet date. This value will increase every year and will correspond to the market value of the full right of ownership at the end of the lease. These increases will be recognised in Net valuation gains/ (losses) on investment properties in the profi t and loss account.
The Group makes payments to agents for services in connection with negotiating lease contracts with the Group's lessees. The letting fees are capitalised within the carrying amount of the related investment property and amortised over the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment are valued at their cost price less the accumulated depreciations and write-downs. The cost price includes all directly attributable costs and the relevant part of the indirect costs incurred to make the asset ready for use. Future disbursements for repairs are immediately recorded in the result unless they increase the future financial profits of the asset. The straight-line depreciation method is applied over the estimated lifetime of the assets. The useful life and the depreciation method are revised at least annually at the end of each financial year. The tangible fixed assets are depreciated in accordance with the following percentages:
| — software: | 33%; |
|---|---|
| — IT equipment | 10–33%; |
| — office furniture and fittings | 7–20%; |
| — cars | 25%; |
| — photovoltaic panels | 5%; |
| — Electrical charging infrastructure | 12.5% |
Financial assets at amortized cost include trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents and represent non-derivative financial instruments which are held within a business model with the purpose to receive contractual cashflows (held to collect) and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cashflows at fixed dates which represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). Such financial assets are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period of the financial assets on an effective interest basis.
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at amortised cost as reduced by appropriate bad debt allowances. Such allowances are based on the expected credit losses, calculated in accordance with IFRS 9. The group has not developed a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience as historical credit losses are insignificant. In case there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses. This is the case when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the default risk has significantly increased. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income, as are subsequent recoveries of previous impairments.
Other financial assets at amortized cost include mainly loan to joint ventures and associates. These financial assets are accounted for at amortized cost and the Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial asset.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Such cash balances are only held with banks with high credit ratings, as such expected credit losses are not deemed significant. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated cash-flow statement.
A non-current asset or disposal group is classifi ed as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity which the entity has disposed of or which is classifi ed as held for sale, which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and which can be distinguished operationally and for fi nancial reporting purposes.
For a sale to be highly probable, the entity should be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan should be initiated, and the asset (or disposal group) should be actively marketed at a price which is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale should be expected to be completed within one year from the date of classifi cation. Assets (or disposal group) classifi ed as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs necessary to make the sale. Any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value less costs to sell is included as an impairment loss. Depreciation of such assets is discontinued as from their classifi cation as held for sale.
VGP has disposed of legal entities to its First, Second, Fifth and Sixth Joint Venture; however, at the moment of closing, the purchase price for the shares reflects only the value of the completed assets within the respective disposed legal entities. Any remaining development land or assets under construction in these legal entities remain therefore under the control and economic ownership of the VGP Group. VGP finances these remaining developments through construction and development loans to the respective legal entities. These loans are reported under "Group held for sale" and are revalued based on the fair value of the underlying assets they represent.
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any diff erence between cost and redemption value being recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings on an eff ective interest basis. The Group classifi es as a current portion any part of long-term loans that is due to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date.
Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost.
The Group does not apply hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are classified as financial assets or liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL) . Derivative financial assets and liabilities comprise mainly interest rate swap and forward foreign exchange contracts for hedging purposes (economic hedge). Recognition of the derivative financial instruments takes place when the economic hedging contracts are entered into. They are measured initially and subsequently at fair value; transaction costs are included directly in finance costs. Gains or losses on derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in net change in fair value of financial instruments at FVPL.
The carrying amounts of the Group's property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss is reversed in the consolidated income statement if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount to the extent it reverses an impairment loss of the same asset that was recognised previously as an expense.
A provision is recognised in the consolidated balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Revenue includes rental income, renewable energy income, property and facility management income, development management income and service charge income.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the Group provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of the incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income.
Renewable energy income includes multiple streams, such as sale of energy, leasing of installations and government grants. The accounting treatment for solar revenue depends on the specific contractual terms of the agreement between VGP's renewable energy company and its customers (e.g. tenants or green energy suppliers). If VGP's renewable energy company has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with its customers, revenue recognition is based on the delivery of electricity. VGP's renewable energy company recognizes revenue when electricity is delivered, based on the contractual price per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The revenue recognized is based on the amount of electricity delivered, and any adjustments to the contract price or revenue recognition will be made based on the terms of the PPA.
If VGP's renewable energy company has entered into a leasing agreement with its customers, i.e. renting out the solar equipment, the revenue recognition is based on the lease payments due under the lease agreement. VGP's renewable energy company recognizes revenue based on the lease payments due over the term of the lease agreement, and any adjustments to the lease payments or revenue recognition will be made based on the terms of the lease agreement. Government grants are recognized the year the government grant applies to.
Revenue from service and property, facility and development management is recognised in the accounting period in which control of the services are passed to the customer, which is when the service is rendered. For certain service contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously.
Some property management contracts may include multiple elements of service, which are provided to tenants. The Group assesses whether the individual elements of service in contracts are separate performance obligations. Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, and/or lease and non-lease components, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation (lease and non-lease component) based on the stand-alone selling prices. Where these selling prices are not directly observable, they are estimated based on an expected cost, plus margin. In the case of fixed price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of variable consideration and payments to customers, which are not for distinct services, this consideration may include discounts, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
A receivable is recognised when services are provided as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
When the Group is acting as an agent, the commission rather than gross income is recorded as revenue.
Service costs for service contracts entered into and property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
Net financial result comprises interest payable on borrowings and interest rate swaps calculated using the effective interest rate method net of interest capitalised, interest receivable on funds invested and interest rate swaps, foreign exchange and interest rate swap gains and losses that are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Income tax on the profi t or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been offset, pursuant to the fulfilment of the criteria of IAS 12 §74. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
We refer to the chapter 'Risk factors' for an overview of the risks affecting the businesses of the VGP Group.
VGP's portfolio is valued at least annually by independent real estate experts. This valuation by real estate experts is intended to determine the market value of a property at a certain date, as a function of the market evolution and the characteristics of the property concerned. The property portfolio is recorded at the fair value established by the real estate experts in the Group's consolidated accounts. (see note 13)
The chief operating decision maker is the person that allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments. The Group has determined that its chief operating decision-maker is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Company. He allocates resources to and assesses the performance at business line and country level. The segmentation for segment reporting within VGP is primarily by business line and secondly by geographical region.
For management purpose, the Group also presents financial information according to management breakdowns, based on these functional allocations of revenues and costs. These amounts are based on a number of assumptions, and accordingly are not prepared in accordance with IFRS audited consolidated financial statements of VGP NV for the period ended 2024 and 2023. The Group reports three segments as follows:
The Group's investment or so-called rental business consists of operating profit generated by the completed and leased out projects of the Group's portfolio and the proportional share of the operating profit (excluding net valuation gains) of the completed and leased out projects of the Joint Ventures' portfolio and consolidates as well property and asset management revenue, which include asset management, property management and facility management income.
Revenues and expenses allocated to the rental business unit include 10% of the Group's property operating expenses; other income; other expenses, after deduction of expenses allocated to property development; and share in result of the joint ventures, excluding any revaluation result.
Associated operating, administration and other expenses include directly allocated expenses from the respective asset management, property management and facility management service companies.
The Group's property development business consists of the net development result on the Group's development activities. Previously these excluded valuation gains (losses) on investment properties outside certain exclusivity perimeters of Joint Ventures. As the Group's Joint Venture model has evolved in recent years, example given, with the addition of the Fifth and Sixth Joint Venture, whereby not necessarily exclusivity to the Joint Venture is granted, the Group has updated its segment report to present the EBITDA of the property development segment including all developments (including the comparable period). Once the investment property has been disposed into a Joint Venture, revaluation gains or losses are no longer recognized as EBITDA.
The property development segment includes 80% of the Group's administrative expenses.
The Group's Renewable Energy segment includes gross renewable energy income and its direct attributable operating expenses. The renewable energy income is generated through sale of electricity, government grants and/or leasing activities. In addition, 10% of administration expenses are allocated to the Renewable Energy segment.
The Renewable Energy segment leases roofs from other VGP entities. To the extent these are not eliminated in the consolidation perimeter, these have been added back as cost, in favor of a revenue recognition in the Investment segment.

Main variances with regards to the balance sheet of the Joint Ventures in '24 can be summarized as follows:
A first closing with Areim (the Sixth Joint Venture) included 17 buildings in 10 VGP Parks, located in Germany (6 parks, 8 buildings), Czech Republic (3 parks, 5 buildings) and Slovakia (1 park, 4 buildings). The transaction was valued at a gross asset value of € 437 million for the completed assets, which allowed VGP to recycle already € 270.2 million of net cash proceeds.
A second closing, in December '24, with Areim (the Sixth Joint Venture) included 4 buildings in 4 VGP Parks, located in Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and France. The transaction was valued at a gross asset value of € 120 million, which allowed VGP to recycle € 79.3 million of net cash proceeds.
A second closing with Deka (the Fifth Joint Venture partner) included assets in VGP Park Giessen am Alten Flughafen and VGP Park Berlin Oberkrämer. These assets reflect a total surface area of 203,000 sqm, or € 13.8 million annual rental income. The transaction has been financed with an approximate 30% LTV, as such VGP has been able to recycle € 200 million of net cash proceeds. VGP and Deka also settled on final accounts with regards to the first closing, which occurred in August '24. This resulted in an additional gain for VGP of € 35 million and a net cash recycling of € 20.5 million.
A third closing with Deka, the Fifth Joint Venture, has been executed in August '24. It pertained to the last remaining development in VGP Park Magdeburg, building D. VGP recycled € 67.2 million of cash from this transaction. Following this third and final closing, the Fifth Joint Venture owns a property portfolio of 20 buildings, located in five strategic parks across Germany.
VGP has sold its entire stake (of 50%) in the Development Joint Venture LPM Moerdijk, The Netherlands, in February '24 for a total net consideration of € 171.4 million. The Development Joint Venture was owner of a land bank of 719,762 sqm, or an equivalent development potential of 488,000 sqm located in the vicinity of the harbour of Moerdijk, The Netherlands.
VGP acquired an additional 25% (from 50% before) stake into the Belartza Joint Venture from its Joint Venture partner Vusa. The purchase price will be payable upon the fulfilment of a number of milestones in the development project "Belartza", which is located in San Sebastian, Spain.
Finally, in the Third Joint Venture (VGP Park Münich), VGP and Allianz agreed in April '24 to develop the last remaining asset in VGP Park Munich, following the conclusion of a lease agreement with Isar Aerospace for a total annual rental income of € 7.4 million and a total surface of 44,000 sqm. The construction initiated in H2 '24 and a fi rst phase of the asset (building D) is expected to be delivered in Q4 '25. When completed, the VGP Park Münich will refl ect 8 buildings for a total surface area of 323,000 sqm and a total annualised rental income of approximately € 34 million.
The Joint Ventures' property portfolio, excluding development land and buildings being constructed by VGP on behalf of the Joint Ventures, is valued at 31 December 2024 based on a weighted average yield of 5.05%1 (compared to 5.01% as at 31 December 2023). A 0.10% variation of this market rate would give rise to a variation of the Joint Venture portfolio value (at 100%) of € 111.6 million.
The (re)valuated assets of the Joint Ventures' portfolio was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Io Partners, preferred partner of Jones Lang LaSalle.
VGP provides certain services, including asset-, property- and development advisory and management, for the Joint Ventures and receives fees from the Joint Ventures for doing so. Those services are carried out on an arms-length basis and do not give VGP any control over the relevant Joint Ventures (nor any unilateral material decision-making rights). Significant transactions and decisions within the Joint Ventures require full Board and/or Shareholder approval, in accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreement.

The EPRA NAV metrics make adjustments to the IFRS NAV in order to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The three different EPRA NAV indicators are calculated on the basis of the following scenarios:
Net Reinstatement Value: based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to reflect the value needed to build the entity anew. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be required to reconstitute the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes. EPRA NRV per share refers to the EPRA NRV based on the number of shares in circulation as at the balance sheet date. See www.epra.com.
Net Tangible Assets: assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realizing certain levels of deferred taxation. This pertains to the NAV adjusted to include property and other investments at fair value and to exclude certain items that are not expected to be firmly established in a business model with long-term investment properties. EPRA NTA per share refers to the EPRA NTA based on the number of shares in circulation as at the balance sheet date. See www.epra.com.
Net Disposal Value: provides the reader with a scenario of the sale of the company's assets leading to the realization of deferred taxes, financial instruments and certain other adjustments. This NAV should not be considered a liquidation NAV as in many cases the fair value is not equal to the liquidation value. The EPRA NDV per share refers to the EPRA NDV based on the number of shares in circulation as at the balance sheet date. See www.epra.com.

None of the Group's investment property is pledged at 31 December 2024.
All of the Group's properties are level 3, as defined by IFRS 13, in the fair value hierarchy as at 31 December 2024 and there were no transfers between levels during the year. Level 3 inputs used in valuing the properties are those which are unobservable, as opposed to level 1 (inputs from quoted prices) and level 2 (observable inputs either directly, i.e. as prices, or indirectly, i.e. derived from prices).
The Group's investment property is initially carried at cost plus transaction cost. It is subsequently measured at fair value and is valued at least once per year. In view of the rapid growth of the portfolio the Group has opted to perform the valuations twice per year i.e. as at 30 June and 31 December. Valuations are performed by independent external property appraisers. All valuations in 2024 were carried out by iO Partners, Jones Lang LaSalle preferred partner. With the exemption of the assets in VGP Park Riga, classifi ed as held for sale, which are valued at the call option price. As a result, the value of the Group's assets depends on developments in the local real estate market in each of the Group's countries of operations and is subject to change. Gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognized in the Group's income statement as valuation results and are also a component of the Group's indirect result. The Group's valuation contracts are typically entered into for a term of one year and the fees of the property experts are fi xed for the term of their appointment and are not related to the value of the properties for which a valuation is made. The valuations are prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Professional Standards (incorporating the International Valuation Standards) Global edition July 2017 (same approach as for the previous period end valuations). The basis of valuation is the market value of the property, as at the date of valuation, defi ned by the RICS as: "The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."
In view of the nature of the portfolio and the bases of valuation iO Partners, Jones Lang LaSalle preferred partner has adopted the income approach, discounted cash flow technique, analysed over a 10 year period for each property. The cash flow assumes a ten year hold period with the exit value calculated on ERV or contracted income. To calculate the exit value iO Partners, Jones Lang LaSalle preferred partner has used the exit yield which represents their assumption of the possible yield in the 10th year. The cash flow is based upon the rents payable under existing lease agreements until the agreed lease end. In case of early break option, the valuator has assumed that the break will be exercised only if the penalty is low. After the lease termination the valuator has assumed a certain expiry void period and a 5 year new lease contract. For currently vacant premises the valuator has assumed a certain initial void period and 5 year lease contract. For the properties that are under construction, the valuator has adopted an initial void starting as of the valuation date. The assumed rental income was calculated on the basis of estimated rental value (ERV). The assumed voids are used to cover the time and the relocated cost of marketing, re-letting and possible reconstruction. The voids were adopted to each of the buildings within the portfolio. In order to calculate the net rental income the valuators have deducted capital expenditures (contribution to the sinking fund) from the gross rental income.
This is the traditional method of valuing investment properties. The market value is derived by capitalising the estimated net income from the property on a term and reversion basis. It involves the capitalisation of the present income over the period of its duration together with the valuation of each subsequent different rent likely to be received following market rent reviews or following re-letting for their separate estimated durations, each discounted to a present value. The yield or yields applied to the different income categories reflect all the prospects and risks attached to the income flow and the investment. The yields are derived from a combination of analysis of completed comparable investment transactions and general experience and market knowledge. The most important yield is the equivalent yield, although regard must be had to the yield profile of the investment over time, particularly the initial yield at the valuation date.
For the properties in Spain, the valuator has adopted the equivalent yield approach. The equivalent yield approach calculates the gross market value by applying a capitalisation rate (equivalent yield) to the net rental income as of the valuation date and capitalising the income into perpetuity. The abovementioned assumptions are more thoroughly specified in the below section of the valuation assumptions.
The following main assumptions, together with the quantitative information included in section "(iv) Quantitative information about fair value measurements using unobservable inputs"; were made by the valuator.
Other parameters impacting the valuation of the Group's investment portfolio, but which were assessed as not key, relates to the long term vacancy on the investment portfolio and the remaining lifetime of the investment properties. The long term vacancy is nihil and the remaining uselife of the buildings which is, considering the average age of the completed portfolio of 4.2 years, on average 25.8 years.
Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is also stated at fair market value, and investment properties under construction are also valued by an independent valuation expert. For the properties under construction the valuation expert has used the same approach as applicable for the completed properties but deducting the remaining construction costs from the calculated market value, whereby "remaining construction costs" means overall pending development cost, which include all hard costs, soft costs, fi nancing costs and developer profi t. Developer profi t takes into account the level of risk connected with individual property and is mainly dependent on development stage and pre-letting status.
Land held for development is valued using the valuation sales comparison approach. The sales comparison approach produces a value indication by comparing the subject property to similar properties and applying adjustments to reflect advantages and disadvantages to the subject property. This is most appropriate when a number of similar properties have recently been sold or are currently for sale in the market. The fair value of the own portfolio, including the assets completed on behalf of the Joint Ventures, is determined as an asset deal valuation and the Joint Venture portfolio are assessed by share deal valuations (resulting in a respectively non-deduction of real estate transfer taxes).
In June 2020 VGP sold 50% of the shares of VGP Park München GmbH to Allianz, thereby losing control over VGP Park München in 2020 (the "Transaction"). The completion of the development of VGP Park München has taken several years. As a result of the loss of control over VGP Park München, VGP has deconsolidated all assets and liabilities of VGP Park München and has recognized a gain on the disposal which has been calculated as the difference between: (i) the carrying value (=equity value) of all assets and liabilities of VGP Park München at the Transaction Date, and (ii) the fair market value of 100% of the shares of VGP Park München (the "Fair Value"). The gain on the Transaction has been recognized in full (100%), consistent with the accounting policies of VGP and IFRS 10 (See note 2.3 – Principles of consolidation – Joint venture and associates – in this section further information). Until the completion of the majority of the buildings such buildings have been measured at their proportional agreed purchase price with Allianz, as this was considered to be the best reflection of their fair value. Since December 2022, following the completion of the majority of the buildings in the second half of 2022, such buildings are revalued by an external independent valuation expert in accordance with the Group's valuation rules (See note 13.2 – Investment properties – in this section for further information). With the exemption of the construction of building D. In August 2024, VGP agreed with Allianz to start the construction of this building for tenant Isar Aerospace. This project is valued at the proportional agreed purchase price with Allianz, as this is considered as the best reflection of the fair value until the building will be completed, following the same principles as the other developments within this Third Joint Venture. In November 2020, VGP entered into a 50:50 joint venture ("LPM Joint Venture") with Roozen Landgoederen Beheer in respect of the development of the Logistics Park Moerdijk. In February 2024 the group divested its stake in the LPM Joint Venture in its current status and recycled proceeds of ca € 171.4 million (see note 22 -- Cash flow from disposal of subsidiaries and investment properties). In October 2021 VGP entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Vusa. In 2024, VGP acquired an additional stake of 25% in this development Joint Venture, yet maintained joint control. The framework of the VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture provides for different mechanisms which allows subject to conditions being met for VGP to become the beneficial owner of the logistics income generating assets and VUSA to become the owner of commercial income generating assets. The project is currently proceeding well with obtaining the necessary zoning permits. The Board of Directors has therefore concluded that the acquisition cost is therefore the best approximation of the fair value of the development land. In February 2022 the VGP Park Siegen Joint Venture purchased a brownfield site located in Siegen, Germany.
The objective of this joint venture is to convert a brownfield with ca. 21,000 sqm of lettable space located in the vicinity of the city of Siegen, Germany. In 2023 a part of the development has been sold and since then the brownfield has been undergoing further demolishment works in preparation of its future development. Further milestones are expected to be reached during 2025. The Board of Directors has therefore concluded that the acquisition cost is therefore the best approximation of the fair value of the development land.
The valuations made are reviewed internally by the CEO, CFO and Financial Controller and discussed with the independent valuator as appropriate. The CFO and CEO report on the outcome of the valuation processes and results to the audit committee and take any comments or decision in consideration when performing the subsequent valuations. At each semi-annual period end, the financial controller together with the CFO: (i) verify all major inputs to the independent valuation report; (ii) assess property valuation movements when compared to the prior semi-annual and annual period; (iii) holds discussions with the independent valuer.
The quantitative information in the following tables is taken from the different reports produced by the independent real estate experts. The figures provide the range of values and the weighted average of the assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of investment properties

1 This includes the investment property reclassified to held for sale for an amount of € 491,293 (000) (see table note 13).
The sensitivity of the fair value based on changes to the significant non-observable inputs used to determine the fair value of the properties classified in level 3 in accordance with the IFRS fair value hierarchy is as follows (all variables remaining constant):
| Impact on fair value in case of | ||
|---|---|---|
| Non observable input | Fall | Rise |
| ERV (in €/sqm) | Negative | Positive |
| Discount rate | Positive | Negative |
| Exit yield | Positive | Negative |
| Remaining lease term (until first break) | Negative | Positive |
| Remaining lease term (until final expiry) | Negative | Positive |
| Occupancy rate | Negative | Positive |
| Inflation | Negative | Positive |
A decrease in the estimated annual rent will decrease the fair value. An increase in the discount rates and the capitalisation rates used for the terminal value i.e. the exit yield of the discounted cash flow method will decrease the fair value. There are interrelationships between these rates as they are partially determined by market rate conditions. For investment properties under construction, the cost to completion and the time to complete will reduce the fair values whereas the consumption of such cost over the period to completion will increase the fair value.
In addition, the sensitivity of the fair value of the portfolio can be estimated as follows: the effect of a rise (fall) of 1% in rental income results in a rise (fall) in the fair value of the portfolio of approximately € 17.3 million1 (all variables remaining constant). The effect of a rise (fall) in the weighted average yield (see note 7) of 25 basis points results in a fall (rise) in the fair value of the portfolio of approximately € 57.8 million1 (all variables remaining constant).

The other non-current liabilities increased by € 8.7 million which is the result of (i) an increase in deposits received from tenants (€ 3.9 million); (ii) long-term retentions (€ 4 million); (iii) a decrease in other non-current liabilities (- € 2.5 million); and no reclassification of other non-current liabilities results in an increase of € 3.3 million. The increase in deposits received from tenants results from new lease agreements signed in 2024. The decrease in other non-current liabilities is the result of a decrease in the provision for LTIP (-€ 6.6 million) compensated by an increase in the long term payable as a result of IFRS 16 adjustment (lease of roof) (€ 4.1 million).

In December 2024, there is no significant reclassification of liabilities to group held for sale, amount of 48 kEUR relates to VGP Park Riga. Furthermore, other payables increased to € 27 million (+ € 5.5 million) and relates mainly to VAT payables, shortterm leasing obligations (mainly in Renewable Energy) and obligations for wages.

In order to sustain its growth over the medium term, VGP entered into joint ventures with Allianz (First,Second Joint Venture and Third Joint Venture), with Deka (the Fifth Joint Venture) and with Areim (the Sixth Joint Venture) in respect of acquiring income generating assets developed by VGP. These Joint Ventures act(ed) as an (exclusive) take-out vehicle of the income generating assets, allowing VGP to partially recycle its initially invested capital when completed projects are acquired by the Joint Ventures. VGP is then able to re-invest the proceeds in the continued expansion of its development pipeline, including the further expansion of its land bank, allowing VGP to concentrate on its core development activities.
Although the First Joint Venture reached its expanded investment target, some add-on closings related to existing tenant extension options or remaining development pipeline within the legal entities of the First Joint Venture, but currently recorded as Group held for sale may still occur in the future. The First Joint Venture will maintain its existing portfolio with VGP continuing to act as property, facility and asset manager.
The Second Joint Venture 's exclusive right of first refusal in relation to acquiring newly built assets in the relevant countries expired as of 31 July 2024. It's strategy is therefore primarily a hold strategy. Likewise to the First Joint Venture, some add-on closings may still occur in the future.
As per 15 December 2023 VGP entered into a new Joint Venture agreement with AREIM Pan-European Logistics Fund (D) AB, or Areim, on a 50:50 basis, with the purpose of investing into VGP developed assets in Germany, Czech Republic, France, Slovakia and Hungary. The venture will utilize debt up to a loan-to-value of 35%. The investor, Areim, has committed a € 500 million equity investment. The investment period lasts until 15 December 2028, with possibilities to extend the Joint Venture by mutual agreement.
The development pipeline which will be transferred as part of any future acquisition transaction between the Joint Venture and VGP is being developed at VGP's own risk and subsequently acquired and paid for by these joint ventures subject to pre-agreed completion and lease parameters. Consequently, these are reclassifi ed as assets and liabilities held for sale on the balance sheet.
The investment properties which are being developed by VGP on behalf of the First and Second Joint Venture have a total net asset value of € 83.2 million. The investment properties which are being developed by VGP on behalf of the Sixth Joint Venture have a total net asset value of € 70.8 million.
In addition, the tenant of VGP Park Riga has executed its call option right and is to date performing its due diligence. The asset has been reclassified as group held for sale and has been valued at the call option price. This reflects a net asset value of € 33 million. All other assets reported as group held for sale carry a fair value, as appraised by Io Partners.
As per 21 July 2023, VGP entered into a new Joint Venture agreement (the Fifth Joint Venture) with Deka. In 2024 the second and third closing have been executed. The Fifth Joint Venture as such has completed its investment target and no further assets are destined to the Fifth Joint Venture.

| Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | 273,444 | (485,459) |
The changes in the cash flow from investing activities was mainly due to: (i) € 452 million (2023: € 667 million) of expenditure incurred for the development activities and land acquisition; (ii) € 808.6 million cash recycled resulting from the first and second closing with the Sixth Joint Venture and the second and third closing with the Fifth Joint Venture (2023: € 676.2 million); (iii) distributions by/and investments in Joint Ventures for a net amount of € 28 million (2023: € 12.8 million); (iv) the loans provided to Joint Ventures for a net amount of € 53.1 million (2023: € 30.1 million).
The changes in the cash flow from financing activities were driven by: (i) € 101 million dividend paid out in May 2024 (2023: € 75 million); (ii) € 75 million repayment of the Jul-24 bond and € 3 million repayment of Schuldschein loan (2023: € 375 million bonds repayment); (iii) proceeds from bank loan with European Investment bank for an amount of € 135 million.

On 25th of April 2024, VGP concluded a first transaction with its 50:50 joint venture, VGP European Logistics 4 ('Sixth Joint Venture'). The transaction comprised 17 buildings in 10 VGP Parks, located in Germany (6 parks, 8 buildings), Czech Republic (3 parks, 5 buildings) and Slovakia (1 park, 4 buildings). The transaction was valued at a gross asset value of € 437 million for the completed assets, which allowed VGP to recycle already € 270.2 million of net cash proceeds. A second closing, in December '24, the Sixth Joint Venture included 4 buildings in 4 VGP Parks, located in Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and France. The transaction was valued at a gross asset value of € 120 million, which allowed VGP to recycle € 79.3 million of net cash proceeds. In total VGP recycled € 349.5 million of net cash proceeds from both transactions.
On 16th of April, VGP concluded a second closing with Deka (the joint venture partner) with assets in VGP Park Giessen am Alten Flughafen and VGP Park Berlin Oberkrämer. These assets refl ect a total surface area of 203,000 sqm, or € 13.8 million annual rental income. The transaction has been fi nanced with an approximate 30% LTV, as such VGP has been able to recycle € 200 million of net cash proceeds. VGP and Deka also settled on fi nal accounts with regards to the fi rst closing, which occurred in August '24. This resulted in an additional gain for VGP of € 35 million and a net cash recycling of € 20.5 million. Finally, a third closing with, the Fifth Joint Venture, has been executed in August '24. It pertained to the last remaining development in VGP Park Magdeburg, building D. VGP recycled € 67.2 million of cash from this transaction. Following this third and fi nal closing, the Fifth Joint Venture owns a property portfolio of 20 buildings, located in fi ve strategic parks across Germany. VGP recycled € 287.7 million of net cash proceeds in '24 from transactions with the Fifth Joint Venture and in total, including the seed closing of '23, € 681 million net cash proceeds.
VGP has sold in February '24 its entire stake (of 50%) in the Development Joint Venture LPM Moerdijk, The Netherlands, for a total net consideration of € 171.4 million. The Development Joint Venture was owner of a land bank of 719,762 sqm, or an equivalent development potential of 488,000 sqm located in the vicinity of the harbour of Moerdijk, The Netherlands.
Finally, in the Third Joint Venture (VGP Park Münich), VGP and Allianz agreed in April '24 to develop the last remaining asset in VGP Park Munich, following the conclusion of a lease agreement with Isar Aerospace for a total annual rental income of € 7.4 million and a total surface of 44,000 sqm. The construction initiated in H2 '24 and a first phase of the asset (building D) is expected to be delivered in Q4 '25. When completed, the VGP Park Münich will reflect 8 buildings for a total surface area of 323,000 sqm and a total annualised rental income of approximately € 34 million. VGP realized an additional gain of € 14 million. A closing, and consecutively cash recycling of VGP's profit margin, will occur when the building is completed and the transaction is closed with the Joint Venture partner.
Exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, liquidity and credit risk arise in the normal course of business of VGP. The company analyses and reviews each of these risks and defines strategies to manage the economic impact on the company's performance. The results of these risk assessments and proposed risk strategies are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on regular basis.
Some of the risk management strategies include the use of derivative financial instruments which mainly consists of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The company holds no derivative instruments nor would it issue any for speculative purposes.
As at 31 December 20234 there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding (same as for 31 December 2023).
VGP incurs principally foreign currency risk on its capital expenditure and working capital. VGP's policy is to economically hedge its capital expenditure as soon as a firm commitment arises, to the extent that the cost to hedge outweighs the benefit and in the absence of special features which require a different view to be taken. The table below summarises the Group's main net foreign currency positions at the reporting date. Since the Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting, the following table does not include the forecasted transactions. However, the derivatives the Group has entered into, to economically hedge the forecasted transactions are included. As at 31 December 2024 there were no foreign currency derivatives outstanding (same as for 2023).

The Group applies a dynamic interest rate hedging approach whereby the target mix between fixed and floating rate debt is reviewed periodically. These reviews are carried out within the confines of the existing loan agreements should such loan agreements require that interest rate exposure is to be hedged when certain conditions are met. Where possible the Group will apply IFRS 9 to reduce income volatility whereby some of the interest rate swaps may be classified as cash flow hedges. Changes in the value of a hedging instrument that qualifies as highly effective cash flow hedges are recognised directly in shareholders' equity (hedging reserve). The Group also uses interest rate swaps that do not satisfy the hedge accounting criteria under IFRS 9 but provide effective economic hedges. Changes in fair value of such interest rate swaps are recognised immediately in the income statement. (Interest rate swaps held for trading). At the reporting date the Group interest rate profile of the Group's (net of any capitalised financing costs) was as follows:
| 31. 12. 2024 | 31. 12. 2023 |

| 2,031,000 | 1,974,000 |
| 99.0% | 98.9% |
The eff ective interest rate on fi nancial debt (bank debt, schuldschein loans and bonds), including all bank margins on the outstanding fi nancial debt amount 2.20 % for the year-ended 2024 (2.11 % in 2023).
In case of an increase/decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rates, profit before taxes would have been € 210 k lower/higher (2023: € 210k). This impact comes from a change in the floating rate debt, with all variables held constant.
For 2024 there is no impact given the fact that there are no interest rate swaps outstanding classified as cash flow hedges as at the reporting date. The same situation applied at the 31 December 2023 reporting date.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to VGP if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from VGP's receivables from customers and bank deposits. The management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis. Each new tenant is analysed individually for creditworthiness before VGP offers a lease agreement. In addition, the Group applies a strict policy of rent guarantee whereby, in general, each tenant is required to provide a rent guarantee for 6 months. This period will vary in function of the creditworthiness of the tenant. For the credit risk in respect of other non-current receivables please refer to the section 'Risk Factors' in this annual report. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that it has sufficient cash available and that it has sufficient available credit facilities and by matching as much as possible its receipts and payments. As at 31 December 2024 the Group, in addition to its available cash, has several committed credit lines at its disposal up to a maximum equivalent of € 490 million1 (2023: € 550 million) at floating interest rates with fixed margins. The following are contractual maturities of financial assets and liabilities, including interest payments. The amounts disclosed in the tables below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
— The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on quoted prices in active markets. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, valuation techniques are used. Valuation techniques make maximum use of market inputs but are affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Such techniques include amongst others market prices of comparable investments and discounted cash flows. The principal methods and assumptions used by VGP in determining the fair value of financial instruments are obtained from active markets or determined using, as appropriate, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
During the reporting period ending 31 December 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
The board of directors has set up a long-term incentive plan. The LTIP allocates profit sharing units ("Units") to the respective VGP team members (the other members of the Executive Management Team and designated senior managers). One Unit represents an amount equal to the net asset value of VGP divided by the total amount of issued VGP shares. After an initial lock-up period of 5 years (from the respective award date), each participant may return the Units against cash payment of the proportional net asset value growth of such Units. This LTIP is therefore directly and solely based on the net asset value growth of the Group and has no direct nor indirect link to the evolution of the share price of the VGP shares. At any single point in time, the number of Units outstanding (i.e. awarded and not yet vested) cannot exceed 5% of the total amount of shares issued by the Company. At the end of 2024 there were 373,583 Units allocated to the VGP team, whereas during the year 272,996 Units have vested and 40,000 new units have been granted. The total allocatable units amount to 1,364,566 units, therefore there remain, as at 31 December 2024, 990,983 units unallocated. At the end of 2025, another 185,000 units will vest. Based on the 31 December 2024 financial figures these Units represent an aggregate net asset value of € 25.1 million (2023: € 22.3 million) which was provided for in the 2024 accounts. (see Remuneration Report for further details).

Shareholding As at 31 December 2024 the main shareholders of the company are:
The Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of 8 May 2020 approved the introduction of the double voting right. A double voting right is therefore granted to each VGP share that has been registered for at least two years without interruption under the name of the same shareholder in the register of shares in registered form, in accordance with the procedures detailed in article 29 of the Articles of Association. In accordance with Belgian law, dematerialised shares do not benefit from the double voting right. The two main ultimate reference shareholders of the company are therefore (i) Mr Jan Van Geet who holds 40,55% of the voting rights of VGP NV and who is CEO and an executive director and (ii) Mr Bart Van Malderen who holds 24,11% of the voting rights of VGP NV and who is a non-executive director. The full details of the shareholding of VGP can be found in the section "Information about the share" of this annual report.

Statutory auditor's report to the shareholders' meeting for the year ended 31 December 2024 – Consolidated fi nancial statements
The original text of this report is in Dutch
In the context of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of VGP NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), we hereby submit our statutory audit report. This report includes our report on the consolidated financial statements and the other legal and regulatory requirements. These parts should be considered as integral to the report.
We were appointed in our capacity as statutory auditor by the shareholders' meeting of 12 May 2023, in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors ("bestuursorgaan"/"organe d'administration") issued upon recommendation of the audit committee. Our mandate will expire on the date of the shareholders' meeting deliberating on the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. We have performed the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of VGP NV for 18 consecutive periods.
We have audited the consolidated fi nancial statements of the group, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash fl ow statement for the year then ended, as well as the summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The consolidated balance sheet shows total assets of € 4 653 936 (000) and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows a profi t for the year then ended of € 286 987 (000).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's net equity and financial position as of 31 December 2024 and of its consolidated results and its consolidated cash flow for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA), as applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the International Standards on Auditing approved by the IAASB applicable to the current financial year, but not yet approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Responsibilities of the statutory auditor for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We have complied with all ethical requirements relevant to the statutory audit of consolidated financial statements in Belgium, including those regarding independence.
We have obtained from the board of directors and the company's officials the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matters VALUATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES VGP develops, owns and manages a portfolio of logistic and industrial warehousing properties, located mainly across Europe. The property portfolio is valued at € 1 905 411 (000) as at 31 December 2024, € 2 927 831 (000) is held by joint ventures at share and € 197 902 (000) is presented under "disposal group held for sale". The portfolio includes completed investments and properties under construction ("development properties") and is valued using the income approach in accordance with IAS 40 which is based on expected future cash flows. Development properties are valued using the same methodology with a deduction for all costs necessary to complete the development. Key inputs into the valuation exercise are yields and estimated rental values, which are influenced by prevailing market forces, comparable transactions and the specific characteristics of each property in the portfolio. The Group uses professionally qualified external valuers to fair value the Group's portfolio at six-monthly intervals. The valuation of the portfolio is a significant judgement area, underpinned by a number of assumptions which can involve judgements and the existence of estimation uncertainty. Coupled with the fact that only a small percentage difference |
How our audit addressed the key audit matters ASSESSING THE VALUER'S EXPERTISE AND OBJECTIVITY — We assessed the competence, independence and integrity of the external valuers. — We assessed management's process for reviewing and challenging the work of the external valuers. TESTING THE VALUATIONS — We compared the amounts per the valuation reports to the accounting records and from there we agreed the related balances through to the financial statements. — We involved internal valuation specialists to assist the fi nancial audit team to discuss and challenge the signifi cant assumptions and critical judgement areas for specifi c properties, including yields and estimated rental values and compared to other data we have knowledge of. — We obtained the external valuation reports and confirmed that the valuation approach is in accordance with RICS in determining the carrying value in the balance sheet. — For development properties we also confirmed that the supporting information for construction contracts and budgets was consistent with the cost to complete deducted from the valuation of development properties. — Capitalized expenditure was tested on a sample |

| REFERENCE TO DISCLOSURES | INFORMATION AND STANDING DATA |
| The methodology applied in determining the valuation is set out in note 2.7 of the consolidated financial statements. In addition we refer to note 13 of the consolidated financial statements containing the investment property roll-forward, note 20 in relation to the disposal group held for sale and note 9 in relation to investments in joint ventures and associates. |
— We tested the standing data the Group provided to the valuers for use in the performance of the valuation, relating to rental income, key rent contract characteristics and occupancy. — We considered the internal controls implemented by management and we tested the design and implementation of controls over investment properties. |

| CREATION OF A NEW JOINT VENTURE In December 2023, VGP has signed a joint venture agreement with AREIM (the "Sixt Joint Venture") and subsequently transferred a portfolio of investment properties, through sale of subsidiaries, to the joint venture in April and December 2024. The proper accounting treatment of this joint arrangement in accordance with IFRS is complex, and requires management judgement specifically with respect to: — Assessing whether under the joint venture agreement, VGP has joint control over the Sixth Joint Venture; — Determining the appropriate accounting treatment upon loss of control of the transferred subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements of VGP NV; Proper accounting treatment of the creation of the joint venture is material to the Group's financial statements: the value of these investments per 31 December 2024, reported on the balance sheet as Investments in joint ventures and associates, for the Sixth Joint Venture amounts to € 148 613 (000). Therefore, the key audit matter relates to the appropriate accounting treatment and disclosure in accordance with IFRS of the creation of this new joint venture. Reference to disclosures |
— We held discussions with management and obtained supporting documentation as necessary to ensure that we understood the nature of the transaction. We reviewed the proposed accounting treatment in relation to the Group's accounting policies and relevant IFRS standards. — We have read the paragraphs and addenda to the contracts supporting these transactions and evaluated the appropriateness of the recognition and measurement policies applied to the creation of this new joint venture. — We have challenged management's assessment in relation to the joint control of the Sixth Joint Venture. — We have assessed the accounting treatment upon loss of control of the transferred subsidiaries to the Joint Venture in the consolidated financial statements of VGP NV. — We have involved our own IFRS experts to analyze the appropriate accounting treatment of this transaction. — We have assessed appropriate disclosure of this transaction in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. |
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium and for such internal control as the board of directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the board of directors is responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters to be considered for going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of directors either intends to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a statutory auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. During the performance of our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework as applicable to the audit of consolidated financial statements in Belgium. The scope of the audit does not comprise any assurance regarding the future viability of the company nor regarding the efficiency or effectiveness demonstrated by the board of directors in the way that the company's business has been conducted or will be conducted. As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
— identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
We communicate with the audit committee regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and we communicate with them about all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to the audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes any public disclosure about the matter.
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the directors' report on the consolidated financial statements.
As part of our mandate and in accordance with the Belgian standard complementary to the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) as applicable in Belgium, our responsibility is to verify, in all material respects, the director's report on the consolidated financial statements as well as to report on these matters.
In our opinion, after performing the specific procedures on the directors' report on the consolidated financial statements, this report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements for that same year and has been established in accordance with the requirements of article 3:32 of the Code of companies and associations.
In the context of our statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements we are responsible to consider, in particular based on information that we became aware of during the audit, if the directors' report on the consolidated financial statements and other information disclosed in the annual report on the consolidated financial statements, i.e.:
— the required components of the VGP annual report in accordance with Articles 3:6 and 3:32 of the Code of companies and associations, which appear in the chapter "Report of the Board of Directors".
are free of material misstatements, either by information that is incorrectly stated or otherwise misleading. In the context of the procedures performed, we are not aware of such a material misstatement.
In accordance with the draft standard on the audit of the compliance of the financial statements with the Single European Electronic Format ("ESEF"), we have also performed the audit of the compliance of the ESEF format and of the tagging with the technical regulatory standards as defined by the European Delegated Regulation No. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 ("Delegated Regulation").
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format ("digital consolidated financial statements") included in the annual financial report.
Our responsibility is to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to conclude that the format and the tagging of the digital consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the ESEF requirements as stipulated by the Delegated Regulation.
Based on our work, in our opinion, the format and the tagging of information in the official version of the digital consolidated financial statements included in the annual financial report of VGP NV as of 31 December 2024 are, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with the ESEF requirements as stipulated by the Delegated Regulation.
This report is consistent with our additional report to the audit committee referred to in article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

4.4.4 Contribution of the Group ESG Strategy to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainability is fundamental to our approach and investment philosophy, and fully integrated into every stage of the investment lifecycle–from land acquisition and development, leasing, responsible disposals towards our joint ventures and to proactive management of the already standing portfolio.
We take a long-term perspective, ensuring our buildings align with key environmental, social and governance ("ESG") ambitions for all stakeholders. Collaboration is at the heart of our strategy. By engaging with communities and with our clients from the earliest design and specification stages, we ensure our buildings are efficient and resilient.
VGP's ESG strategy is built on the findings of a materiality analysis and an assessment of ESG risks. It tackles the primary challenges facing the semi-industrial and logistics real estate sector: transitioning to a low-carbon economy and promoting sustainable mobility, while fully integrating the Group's business activities within local communities.
Our ESG Strategy is built on five core pillars:

Integrated ESG risk management and governance
ESG and sustainability are embedded in our Group Strategy (see also section Strategy) and fully integrated at the asset, portfolio, and corporate levels. The Group has integrated these ESG pillars throughout its entire value chain, aiming to address the broad scope of indirect carbon emissions resulting from development activities, tenants' energy consumption, and employees' transportation and office use.
As part of this strategy, the Group is committed to reducing carbon emissions across its value chain. Beyond Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the Group's commitment also addresses Scope 3 emissions, including greenhouse gases generated during the construction of its development projects and those resulting from tenants' private energy consumption.
Data plays a crucial role in optimizing our approach. By continuously tracking performance, we are able to proactively enhancing asset value through innovation and effective management.
The Group's carbon reduction targets for 2020 to 2030 are divided into three complementary objectives:
In 2022, the Group submitted its GHG emissions reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with the exception of the target for construction. The targets covering GHG emissions from the Group's operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) align with the reductions needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The Scope 3 target meets the SBTi criteria for ambitious value chain goals, indicating alignment with current best practices.
The Group's ESG assessments by extra-financial rating agencies were updated in 2024:

On the 26 February 2025, the European Commission has adopted a new package of proposals to simplify EU rules, boost competitiveness, and unlock additional investment capacity. Under the new proposal, VGP will no longer be required to report under the directive European Union Directive 2022/2464 of December 14, 2022, amending Regulation No 537/2014, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC and Directive 2013/34/EU, as regards corporate sustainability reporting (the "Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive" or "CSRD"). Also under the existing rules VGP was not required to report under CSRD for FY2024. However, the Group has made proactive efforts to ensure that its 2024 Sustainability Statement aligns as closely as possible with the regulatory disclosure requirements under CSRD. In addition to this Group Sustainability Statement, the business model of VGP is presented in chapter "Profile".
A range of sustainability-related documents, non-financial disclosures, and policies are readily available for public access. These resources can be found on VGP's investor website, providing insights into the Company's sustainability efforts and non-financial performance. This initiative underscores VGP's dedication to maintaining open communication with its stakeholders and its commitment to sustainable practices1 .
For details on the corporate governance principles, please refer to the section Corporate Governance Statement, in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors.

VGP strived to align its Sustainability Statement with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards ("ESRS"). These standards provide a comprehensive framework for disclosing non-financial information and addressing ESG issues. The Group Sustainability Statement is based on a double materiality approach, which considers both the impact of VGP on the environment and society, and the influence of environmental and social issues on the Company's performance. This approach ensures that the Sustainability Statement is relevant to all stakeholders, including employees, investors, tenants and the communities in which the Group operates. It also includes a discussion of the risks and opportunities related to sustainability that the Group is facing. In preparing this Sustainability Statement, VGP collected and consolidated data from across its operations and its supply chain. This Sustainability Statement has not been fully audited nor is the Group currently required by regulation to do so. A limited assurance has been provided on the carbon emissions (scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 (category 13 downstream leased assets)),as detailed in the paragraph focusing on audit below. VGP's Sustainability Statement includes regulatory information, performance against the VGP ESG Strategy targets as well as action plans to meet these targets.
the Sustainability Statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis and integrates the joint venture activities (joint ventures on 100% basis unless explicitly stated otherwise, for example for the EU Taxonomy alignment where both VGP consolidated as well as joint ventures at 100% data is provided), covering the countries where the Group operates: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Romania. Detailed scoping rules per indicator family are presented in the next paragraphs. Exclusions from the reporting scope are specified in the description of each indicator or in footnotes where applicable.
in order to establish its Sustainability Statement, VGP leveraged its NetSuite-based integrated operational, sustainable and financial reporting tool, HR information systems as well as additional energy-related and sustainable-data related reporting systems. These complementary tools are used to track results and inform the Group's stakeholders about performance. The Group continuously improves its reporting tools and processes in order to fine-tune the quality and accuracy of its consolidated data. This enables the Group to manage its data collection processes more efficiently, track and analyse performance at all levels (site, region, Group) on a regular basis, assess results against targets and implement suitable corrective measures. The Group sustainability reporting framework is reviewed and updated every year to fine-tune its accuracy.
Indicators are expressed in absolute value or in the form of ratios to express efficiency and comparable trends. Intensity ratios are calculated using different types of denominators, depending on the type of information:
Denominators related to floor area (sqm):
Denominators related to intensity of use:
To be noted: in the disclosed tables or graphics, totals may not add up due to rounding.
The environmental and societal indicators relating to operations cover the scope of assets in the Group's standing portfolio, which are owned and managed by the Group (including 100% of joint venture assets). By default, this information covers all the Group's standing assets: warehouses with various occupational use ((i)non-refrigerated warehouses, (ii) refrigerated warehouses and (iii) manufacturing), low-rise offices (separate office business units in VGP Parks) and (indoor) park houses. When an indicator covers a narrower scope, this is specified in its description.
This sustainability reporting scope represents 91.5%1 of the total Group portfolio of standing assets in area (sqm) in 2024.
Energy-related indicators include the following types of information: energy consumption, energy intensity, Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions, and share of renewable energy. Assets that are under significant works (net impacted GLA > 1,000 sqm) during the reporting period are excluded from the sustainability reporting scope of energy-related indicators, as works may compromise data reliability and comparability. Assets under significant works finished during the second half of 2024 are reintegrated in the sustainability reporting scope of energy-related indicators for 2025 onwards, after the works have been delivered.
The reporting scope for energy-related indicators represents 86.2% of the total Group portfolio of standing assets in area (sqm) in 2024.
1 Existing buildings at the brownfield sites of VGP Park Russelsheim, VGP Park Nürnberg and VGP Park Vélizy have been excluded from the standing portfolio calculations.

Social indicators regarding human resources cover all Group employees with a direct employment contract with the Group, in all regions where the Group operates, and in all of the Group's business units and subsidiaries, regardless of whether they are located in head-offices, local country offices or on site: facility management, technical building management on construction sites.
As part of the Group's ESG Strategy roadmap, the Group is committed to track its sustainability performance beyond the scope of its direct operations. This includes measuring its sustainability performance from the design stage of projects under development. The sustainability reporting of development-related key performance indicators ("KPIs") covers all projects in the Group pipeline1 , including projects under construction and development land, whatever their type (greenfield and brownfield projects).
In 2024, the reporting scope of delivered projects covered 21 buildings which form the base for the Scope 3 embodied carbon and life cycle assessment.
1 Broadening of scope versus 2023 reporting (when only projects under construction were considered). To include land acquisition projects and land committed to be acquired reflecting the environmental and climate risk assessments conducted during the acquisition phase. Carbon footprint related reporting on development projects relates only to projects effectively under construction.

As part of the Group's ESG Strategy roadmap and in line with GHG reporting standards, the Group reports its GHG emissions beyond the scope of its direct operations. In addition to Scopes 1 and 2, to calculate its total carbon footprint including Scope 3, VGP has chosen the "operational control" approach for its value chain: consolidation of all the GHG emissions linked with the operations over which the Group has the authority to have an influence and implement its operational policies. Scope 3 emissions include emissions from energy production not included in Scopes 1 and 2, purchased products and services, capital goods, waste from office operations, employee commuting and business travel, as well as downstream leased assets (see section 4.2.2.2.9 Gross Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and total GHG emissions, for more detailed information.
The method used for quantifying Group emissions is in line with the ISO 14064-1 standard, the GHG Protocol guidelines and the Bilan Carbone® methodology of ADEME (Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l'Énergie, or French Environment and Energy Management Agency). The Group's carbon footprint measure includes the emissions of the following 6 GHG designated by the Kyoto protocol: carbon dioxide ("CO2"), methane ("CH4"), nitrous oxide ("N2O"), sulphur hexafluoride ("SF6"), hydrofluorocarbons ("HFC") and perfluorinated hydrocarbons ("PFC"), and therefore all GHG emissions are expressed in carbon equivalent ("CO2e")1 .
The building life cycle assessment of the buildings in the development portfolio is based on the completed projects in 2024 and conducted in accordance with the DGNB life cycle assessment method The basis used for calculating the building life cycle assessment is DIN EN 15978.
The scope of the Group's carbon footprint is defi ned as follows: Organisational scope:
— Operational scope: all the activities over which the Group has direct operational control or that it can influence. The detailed emission sources accounted for in the Group carbon footprint are presented in section 4.2.2.2.9 Gross Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and total GHG emissions.
most environmental, social and societal data are reported as of December 31 of the reporting year ended, for one calendar year. The Group ESG Strategy sustainability roadmap sets 2020 as its reference year for measuring progress against energy and carbon-related objectives. This baseline year has been defined as the last available year with full data when the reduction targets were set when released in 2021 and has been maintained ever since for consistency and transparency in performance measurement and reporting.
vGP continuously strives to improve the quality and comparability of its sustainability data, as well as its alignment with external reporting standards and frameworks. As a consequence, the following adjustments have occurred on data calculation methodologies and previously reported data.
Regarding Scopes 1 and 2 emissions, the reporting methodology developed by the Group, the sources of the data used for calculation (invoices for energy consumption and published supplier data and country data for emissions factors) as well as the long history of Group data published ensure a high level of reliability of the presented results. Small margins of error may remain, linked to:
Regarding Scope 3 emissions, processed information can only be partially managed. A qualitative analysis of margins of error is therefore presented hereunder for the 3 main areas of construction, operations and mobility.
Margins of error may be related to:
In order to reduce uncertainty, quantities of materials used are questioned by construction managers during product reviews (to optimise construction costs and carbon impact).
— Operations
Margins of error for energy sources non-managed by the Group (energy directly purchased and managed by the tenants) may be linked to energy consumption or to the carbon emission factors:
Margins of error may be related to the employee distance travelled, to the assessment of modal shares, to the type of energy used for hybrid cars and, lastly, to the emission factors used for each mode of transport
— Audit
In compliance with the applicable regulation on the disclosure of sustainability information, the data and KPIs of the Group's energy consumption2 and GHG emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3 category 13 downstream leased assets) are assured by an independent third-party verifier (see the assurance report in the Appendices section 4.4.1 Independent third-party's report on consolidated non-financial performance statement). In 2024, the energy consumption and GHG emissions audit included a

2 Energy consumption is reviewed by a third-party.
comprehensive review of the data reported on selected indicators by a sample of 6 assets, representative of the Group's portfolio. The indicators were audited with a limited level of assurance. A list of the indicators audited can be found in the auditors' report (section 4.4.1 Independent third-party report on the consolidated non-financial performance statement).
A third-party verifier was also commissioned to carry out an audit on the annual reporting for the green bonds issued by the Group. This audit consists of verifying the compliance of funded assets with the set of eligibility criteria, concerning both their development and operation phases, which are defined in the green bonds "Use of Proceeds" (see 4.3 Green financing of the Group activities). The detailed reporting and assurance report are disclosed in section 4.3.6 Independent third party's reports on green bond criteria and indicators).
In its Sustainability Statement, VGP is considering its value chain through a comprehensive approach. The value chain for VGP means the comprehensive range of activities, resources and relationships that are integral to the Group's business model and the external environment in which it operates. VGP's value chain encompasses:
In addition, VGP's value chain also considers the communities in which the properties are located and tenants and their stakeholders who interact with the properties. Community engagement activities, such as local partnerships and community development initiatives, contribute to the social value of the assets. Meanwhile, users of the buildings, who may be

VGP Park Rodgau
employees of our tenants or visitors, suppliers or customers of the tenants, are also a key part of the value chain. Their experience and satisfaction can influence the success of the tenants and, by extension, the performance of the assets.
In 2024, the Group conducted a double materiality analysis including the potential impact of VGP's sustainability issues on its value chain, to develop appropriate strategies to address them (see section 4.2.3.2.3 Policies related to value chain workers VGP is considering all its key stakeholders in the scope of the Sustainability Statement. This inclusive approach ensures that the interests and concerns of all parties involved in the Company's operations, from employees and tenants to investors, suppliers and the communities the Group operates in, are duly considered and addressed.
VGP's policies are designed to cover all its stakeholders. These policies, such as the Code of Conduct, the Human Rights Policy, the Supplier's Code of Conduct and the Health & Safety Statement (see latest versions available on VGP's investor website1 ), outline VGP's commitments and responsibilities towards its stakeholders and provide a framework for how the Company intends to conduct its business in a sustainable and responsible manner. By integrating these elements into its Sustainability Statement, VGP is demonstrating its commitment to sustainable business practices and regular stakeholder engagement.
This section presents the changes in the reporting scope as well as the evolutions of calculation perimeters, when applicable. In 2020, the scoping rules for reporting sustainability-related information (presented in section 4.2.1.1.1 General basis for preparation of the Sustainability Statement) were reviewed in order to comply with the SBTi submission criteria. In order to enable data comparability, these updated scoping rules have been applied retroactively to portfolio compositions of previous years. Changes in reporting scope may also occur as a result of: acquisitions or disposals of assets; development of new assets; or major renovations and extensions. To compare data from one year to another, a "like-for-like" scope is used when calculating data evolutions. The like-for-like scope corresponds to a restricted scope of assets that are both present in the sustainability reporting scope (as defined in section 4.2.1.1.1 General basis for preparation of the Sustainability Statement) of the year 2024, and of that of the year 2023. It is used to assess an indicator's evolution over time, based on a comparable portfolio. The 2023–2024 like-for-like scope represents 37% of the total 2024 standing portfolio area (sqm).
The Scope 3 embodied carbon calculations methodology has been updated to reflect a 50 year life cycle for buildings, aligned with EU Levels guidance (previously we reported on 30 years). The reported embodied carbon is for categories A1-A5, B4 and C1 and excluding B1 – use of building. In previous years B1 was included but this has been removed to align with industry standards. For previous years the reported embodied carbons have been adjusted according to the same methodology. For more information please refer to section 4.2.2.2.9 Gross Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and total GHG emissions (ESRS E1-6).
The reporting base for 2023 has been adjusted to align to the 2024 methodology. The buildings delivered in the second half of the reporting year have been excluded for such reporting year (see also section 4.2.1.1.1 General Basis for preparation of the sustainability statement (ESRS 2 BP-1)).

The governance structure of VGP N.V. ("VGP") is detailed in section Management and supervisory bodies.
As of December 31, 2024, the Executive Management ("EM") is composed of 8 members and chaired by Mr Jan Van Geet; for full details please refer to chapter Board of Directors and Management. The percentage of women within the EM is 0%. In addition to overseeing the Human Resources, Sustainability and Information Technology, Mr Jan Van Geet, the Chief Executive Officer, supervises the implementation of the Group ESG Strategy roadmap (sustainable properties, improving eco-efficiency, protecting and improving biodiversity, strengthen communities and empowering our workforce). For more information, please see section Executive Management Team in the Board of Directors and Management chapter.
The Board of Directors ("BoD") composition is detailed in section Composition of the Board of Directors. The competencies and skills of the BoD members are available in section Diversity policy of the Board of Directors members, where a detailed experience matrix is provided. A focus is made on the 8 key competencies identifi ed to best carry out the BoD duties, in light of the nature and scope of the Group's core business and strategy, with "ESG/ Sustainability" skill being part of those 8 essential skills. 60% (3/5) of the BoD members have been qualifi ed as ESG/Sustainability experts, with those specifi c skills (competencies in social, environment, climate and governance matters, and sustainability) being further developed in the biographies of the BoD members (see section Diversity policy of the Board of Directors). For future hires, it has been discussed and decided within the BoD to prioritise recruiting BoD members with robust ESG/Sustainability expertise to ensure that they can challenge effi ciently the ESG/Sustainability strategies proposed by the EM. The BoD as a whole already represents a range of ESG/Sustainability expertise, having been in their other/former functions or being currently responsible for, amongst others: the sustainable energy transition and implementation of ESG strategies with environmental values (notably on carbon footprint reduction, sustainable product life cycle assessments, net zero carbon strategy or energy transition), sustainable developments, resources cycles, extra fi nancial indicators, sustainability standards, Human Capital, environmental certifi cation of development projects, and/or relations with institutional equity investors. Some members also have executive positions with ESG and sustainability responsibilities. In their diff erent positions they also monitor compliance and business ethics, corporate social responsibility strategy and practices, ensuring non-discrimination, and oversee diversity and talent management, notably change management and related reporting.
The sustainability governance and the Group ESG Strategy program are built around 2 priorities:
As a key topic of the Group ESG Strategy roadmap, climate change is fully integrated into the sustainability governance described hereafter.
The sustainability governance is structured around the following bodies:

process regarding sustainability initiatives, ensuring that the Group's business operations align with its commitment to sustainable development. They report on progress and results to the BoD. The BoD and EM are chaired by the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
Sustainability is a core component of VGP's strategy and is at the heart of the Group business model. Sustainability topics are addressed at the BoD level in plenary sessions, given its importance and the willingness to associate all BoD members in these discussions. Sustainability updates are shared before each BoD meeting, and ESG is discussed in depth throughout the year in the presence of a member of the Group ESG team, including during executive management's annual strategic offsite, the onboarding program of both BoD and EM, and as often as necessary during trainings. In 2024, the BoD and EM each met 5 times respectively to discuss topics linked to the Group ESG Strategy roadmap. In 2024, the EM and Group management introduced new KPIs to ensure sustainability is embedded further at the core of the Group's business model, allowing sustainability performance measurement against existing targets as well as credentials to lead the environment transition. The system will facilitate the ongoing transformation and recognize concrete achievements, align with the key building blocks of the Group ESG Strategic roadmap and Group sustainability governance. The Group ESG Strategic roadmap has also been discussed by the BoD, covering all key topics, including the net zero ambition and all related levers and financing aspects, the sustainable evolution of the logistics and semi-industrial segment, and community related ambition and programs. Sustainability is addressed and challenged at committee levels, for topics within the responsibility of such committee and as detailed in the tables summarizing those responsibilities (see chapter Corporate Governance Statement section Remuneration Committee for the RC and section Audit Committee for the AC), with systematic feedback shared at BoD level by committees chairs following the said committee meetings.
Sustainability is regularly addressed during Audit Committee meetings.
The last twelve months, the Audit Committee reviewed its process to ensure the quality and relevance of the data made public. The Audit Committee challenged (i) the non-financial information, (ii) the non-financial risks mapping, assessment and review, (iii) the reporting methodology and (iv) the external independent audit of the non-financial information (including the internal control and risk management procedures implemented, the completeness and fairness of the information, and the issuance of an independent third-party's report on consolidated non-financial statement, i.e. "limited assurance of greenhouse gas emissions"). The Audit Committee was also presented with the results of the double materiality analysis conducted by VGP as well as an update on new regulations, including EPBD, and the AC's upcoming new responsibilities under the CSRD.
In 2024, the Remuneration committee specifically discussed and worked on the 2024 Remuneration Policy with a focus on new Sustainability KPIs and targets to be defined.
The Remuneration committee discussed the sustainability metrics used in short-term incentive ("STI") targets, and the sustainability roadmap. The RC addressed the weight of sustainability KPIs, in line with VGP's sustainability strategy, and the evolution of the KPIs. The Group's Diversity Policy and succession planning were discussed and challenged by the Remuneration Committee.

Remuneration based on performance has been the cornerstone of the Group's Remuneration Policy for many years. This ensures that the interests of the members of the broader management team are aligned with the long-term value creation objectives of the Group and its shareholders. The STIP of executive and broader management members includes an ESG component since 2020, in line with the Group's ESG Strategy roadmap.
In summer 2024, in alignment with the remuneration committee and in full alignment with the 2024 Remuneration Policy, it was agreed to review the ESG components of STIP so that the weighting of ESG metrics in EM and MT STIP reflect both market practice and the Company's commitment to sustainability, and to review the Group's metrics used in light of the evolution of the Group ESG Strategy.
It was therefore agreed to introduce a 14-metric sustainability scorecard, with a weight of ESG-related performance indicators of 15% in 2025 (see section Remuneration Report in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, for a description of the Group remuneration policy).
The majority of employees also integrate sustainability-related objectives into their individual objectives which are considered for individual incentives (see also section Policies related to own workforce).

The sustainability approach is fully embedded into the key processes of VGP, in line with the Group's strategic priorities and operational concerns. Relevant management processes have been set up at each stage of the business cycle, along with appropriate KPIs. For example:
regularly by EM and BoD (see section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors);
Sustainability risks are integrated in the Group Risk Management framework, which provides a specific risk governance and control framework (see section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, for more details). Related policies and action plans described in the Sustainability Statement reflect the updates made by the Group to mitigate these risks and the associated performance indicators are disclosed. One of the main 5 risks categories of the Group covers environmental and social responsibility risks (see Risk Factors, Category 6 and Category 2 for environmental and social responsibility risks)
In 2022, in order to comply with the reporting recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure, VGP identified and assessed its main sustainability risks, using the Group risk assessment methodology, taking into account 3 impact criteria: financial, legal and reputational. In 2024, in anticipation of the EU CSRD, the Group conducted a double materiality analysis covering all VGP's activities (see section 4.1.1.1.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities). This work was undertaken jointly by the Group's Sustainability team and Group Finance and Risk Management departments. The sustainability topics were defined on the basis of the sustainability priorities highlighted by the Group's simple materiality analysis (2023 version), the climate risk assessment, the stakeholders risk assessment and a benchmark of sustainability topics covered by real estate companies. The results of the double materiality analysis were integrated to the Group risk management process as reflected in section Risk Factors for Categories 6 and 2 for Environmental and social responsibility risks. Climate change risks for the Group (physical and transitional) form a core part of the sustainability risks analysis and are integrated in the double materiality analysis. A more detailed overview of climate risk management and, in particular, of the resilience of assets to physical climate risks is provided in section 4.2.2.2.12 Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities.
The Group internal control system (see section Risk management and internal controls) covers all of the Group's activities including sustainability. Additionally, as part of its ESG Strategy roadmap, VGP has set up a governance structure (see section 4.2.1.2.1 Roles and responsibilities of the administrative, executive management and board of directors' bodies with regard to sustainability matters). The reporting protocol defines the methodology for calculating the environmental, social and societal indicators of the Group. This reporting protocol provides consistent guidance and rules for all Group entities in terms of organisation and indicator definitions. It ensures the continuity of the reporting process and the reported information in case of changes in the reporting teams and the auditability by the independent third party. Annually, the Sustainability Performance Management team keeps the sustainability reporting scope up to date, reflecting the Group's portfolio evolutions.
Sustainability reporting relies on two main tools: the HR Information System and the Sustainability Reporting Tool. The HR Information System is managed by Group Control and Finance teams and is used to collect HR related information throughout the Group.
The Sustainability Reporting Tool is the main platform for collecting sustainability data at VGP. It is linked and partially integrated into the internal NetSuite-based Group tools that provide relevant data. Every year, during the Annual Budget Review discussions useful information on the Sustainability Reporting Tool is shared, including important deadlines and how the data will be used, including in the remuneration calculations. The process, which is communicated before the budget discussions, describes steps for contributors and validators to report their non-financial data through the VGP Sustainability Reporting Tool. User instructions are provided in the tool to explain the process in detail, including how to use the Sustainability Reporting Tool and their responsibility for gathering and entering the required non-financial data.
Every year, the Sustainability Reporting Tool's settings are revised to reflect the changes in KPIs, contributors and validators. This step is essential as it ensures that the relevant contributors are given ownership and held accountable for the data they provide to the tool, based on their specific asset or country. Validators, meanwhile, play a key role in this process. They oversee the correctness of the data entered by the contributors and ensuring the completeness of the reported data. This systematic approach promotes accuracy, accountability and completeness in VGP's data reporting process. The Sustainability team conducts additional verifications to ensure the consistency of the reported data, with a particular emphasis on significant variations and missing data points. Internal controls are enabled through the NetSuite integration, supported by the uploading of supporting documents, either in separate standards or specific document to be held and made available for internal or external audit requests. The sustainability data consolidation is performed at several consolidation levels, managed by different teams: the country and ESG building consolidation levels are most often managed directly by the data validators. The Group-level consolidation is managed by the corporate sustainability team who calculate Group level indicators based on the platform results pulled from the NetSuite data suite or as sent by the data validators. VGP's internal controls are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Group sustainability roadmap, in sustainability regulations and standards. Existing controls aim to ensure that VGP's sustainability reporting remains in line with current legal requirements and best practices, demonstrating VGP's commitment to transparency, accountability and sustainable development.

VGP operates in a complex value chain that spans across logistics and semi-industrial (warehouses), renewable energy (renewable energy power generation assets and storage), and data centres (exploratory phase). VGP's upstream value chain gathers all supply chain players supporting activities of development, and management of standing assets. These suppliers include, by order of importance, building materials, construction and maintenance, services, utilities and marketing partners. These suppliers are crucial for VGP to develop and maintain the quality and the long-term success of its portfolio.
VGP's downstream value chain activities are focused on the use of its assets. The key actors are tenants as well as their employees and customers. VGP's tenants, which include a diverse range of hundreds of tenants with activities spanning from semi-industrial/manufacturing to (refrigerated) logistics and e-commerce from very different sectors, lease space in VGP Parks' warehouses and offices. Their success, and the satisfaction of their employees and customers, is critical for the retention of such tenants and the success of VGP's assets. VGP is positioned as a developer, owner and operator in its value chain. This position allows VGP to control various aspects of its portfolio, from the acquisition of brown and greenfield opportunities, development of new assets to the operation, expansion and management of standing assets. VGP maintains close relationships with its stakeholders, which includes the value chain players mentioned above as well as VGP's workforce, joint venture and other financial partners, associations, local communities and public authorities. The workforce is the most critical asset of the Group contributing to VGP's success. Local communities are also key stakeholders as they are integrated in the direct environment of VGP's assets. Public authorities, such as elected officials, administrations and regulatory bodies, play a crucial role in the regulatory environment in which VGP operates. The Group's joint venture partners as well as other financial partners, such as investors and banks, provide the necessary capital for VGP to acquire, develop and manage its assets. In essence, VGP's value chain is a complex ecosystem of various business actors and stakeholders, each playing a crucial role in the Group's operations. By effectively managing its value chain, VGP is able to deliver sustainable, high-quality real estate assets that meet the needs of its stakeholders and contribute to the vitality and sustainability of local communities.
VGP continuously engages with stakeholders from the entire value chain to incorporate their interests and their views into the ESG Strategy. The stakeholders of the Group's activities adjust based on the type of activity across the Group's operations:
| Stakeholder category | Land acquisition | Concept & design | Construction | Rent | Portfolio management | Ancilarry services |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The double materiality previously maintained and disclosed annually in the Group Integrated Annual Report was updated in 2024 on the bases of ESRS and EFRAG guidance. This assessment complemented previous risk assessments and materiality analyses to identify and assess these factors, considering both internal operations and external environment. The Group continuously monitors and evaluates performance in relation to these impacts and risks and seizes opportunities that align with its strategic objectives.
In 2024, VGP carried out its double materiality assessment for the Group, across all business segments and activities.
The results of the double materiality analysis were integrated in the Group's risk management approach, as presented in section 6 Environmental, sustainability and climate change risks and 2 Risks related to the Group's operations.
The purpose of this double materiality assessment was to assess the materiality of sustainability and ESG topics from 2 complementary perspectives:
The materiality analysis was conducted in 4 phases:
to establish which topics should be added to the previously existing list of ESG topics. Complementary frameworks provided VGP with a structured approach for assessing the likelihood, magnitude and nature of the effects of identified risks and opportunities. This phase involved evaluating the potential financial implications of each risk and opportunity for VGP, considering their probability of occurrence, and understanding their potential impact on the Company's operations, as well as reputation. This comprehensive assessment allowed VGP to have a preliminary view of which topics were deemed more material for the Company. VGP also conducted an analysis of international and sectoral impact frameworks, to gauge how the Company's activities directly and indirectly impact the sustainability topics identified. These impact frameworks provided VGP with an understanding of how companies of the real estate sector and related sectors potentially impact nature or society. During this phase, VGP considered a sustainability issue to be significant from an impact perspective based on the size of the severity (eg scale), the extent of reach (eg scope), the difficulty of reversing or mitigating the impact (eg irremediability) and the overall likelihood of the impact occuring, whether positive or negative, on individuals or the environment in the short, medium or long term. This includes impacts through the services the Group provides as a real estate company as well as through its business relationships, e.g. throughout VGP's value chain.
In addition to these external consultations, dialogues were held with internal stakeholders representing various teams and geographies across the Group. These internal stakeholders included members from Executive Management, Country Management, Technical and Commercial, Sustainability team, along with employees from a consultation group conducting an online survey. Internal discussions served to supplement and critically evaluate the preliminary drafts of the materiality analysis, thereby ensuring a robust and comprehensive review process. The purpose of these interviews was to proactively introduce the subjects identified for the materiality analysis, and to discern which areas VGP should prioritise. This prioritisation took into account both the impact and financial perspectives previously mentioned. The goal was to ensure that VGP's focus aligns with the most significant topics from a sustainability and economic standpoint.

In total 30 ESG issues identified along the two dimensions of impact and financial materiality, some of these issues are grouped together. The assessment conducted resulted in the classification of the 10 most material issues for VGP:
The 11 environmental topics identified as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are grouped together as 6 material Environmental topics:
The 3 Social topics identifi ed as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are grouped together as 2 material Social topics:
The 2 Governance topics identified as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are:

This section is a first attempt to align with the CSRD requirements and aims primarily at providing a synthetic and limited insight into each of the topics listed in the double materiality assessment.
Environmental topics stand out as the most material for VGP, as 9 separate topics out of 19 have been singled out as material. They are all linked to VGP's direct activity, all along its value chain. Therefore, the matrix directly points out VGP's impact on the environment, and mostly on climate topics. The 11 topics identified as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are grouped together as 6 material Environmental topics:
For VGP, every category of emissions, as well as the process of adapting to climate change, are considered material. Given the direct correlation to VGP's core business operations, the double materiality analysis highlighted both significant financial considerations and material impacts. The potential ramifications are considerable as the capacity to maintain an ambitious trajectory to reduce emissions while managing the physical risks associated with climate change is a primary risk for the Group. Operating in multiple countries with large-scale assets necessitates VGP's adaptation to the repercussions of climate change.
Considering both the geographical position of the Group's assets, sectoral frameworks and international benchmarks, from a financial standpoint, the sector is vulnerable to the physical risks associated with climate change, such as extreme weather events and long-term shifts in climate patterns. These can lead to property damage, increased insurance costs and potential devaluation of assets. Additionally, there are transition risks associated with the shift towards a low-carbon economy, such as investment costs, policy and legal changes, technological advancements and changing market preferences, which can impact the profitability and viability of real estate investments.
The Group conducted a detailed adaptation analysis to identify the main sites at risk, as detailed in Annual Report 2023. From an impact (environmental and social) perspective, the real estate sector plays a crucial role in the global effort to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to climate change. Both the construction and the operation of buildings account for a significant portion of global GHG emissions, primarily through embodied carbon or energy use.
The pollution potentially resulting from VGP's operations, including air pollution from fi ne particles released during the construction of buildings as well as the tenant user-phase, as well as water and soil contamination across the value chain due to waste deposits and the occasional use of hazardous materials appear as material. This pollution, which aff ects VGP's development projects and standing portfolio, can also lead to detrimental eff ects on human health and biodiversity. The fi nancial implications are also substantial, as unchecked pollution could impact the Group's reputation and aff ect potential business opportunities. Pollution-related costs can directly aff ect VGP's bottom line. These costs can stem from regulatory fi nes for non-compliance with environmental standards, expenditures for pollution control measures, and potential costs associated with pollution incidents. The potential impact is high. From an environmental standpoint, the pollution that VGP can potentially generate in large construction projects has a signifi cant impact, including possible air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution. The social implications of the pollution that could be caused by VGP's operations are equally signifi cant, including health issues related to air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution (mainly due to construction activities and tenant road traffi c).
Biodiversity holds a central role for VGP, predominantly given its significant impact on development projects across both the fi nancial and impact dimensions. This is largely due to the change in land use and upstream value chain, which includes extraction and artifi cialisation, as well as the stringent regulations and potential reputational risks. Biodiversity is intrinsically connected to other material topics such as GHG emissions and pollution, as well as responsible and sustainable interactions with the supply chain. Biodiversity considerations hold signifi cant materiality in the development projects of VGP due to their potential for substantial positive or negative impacts, surpassing those of standing assets. These considerations are integral to all stages of development projects, from initial design to fi nal delivery and opening. Throughout these phases, biodiversity must be addressed in a variety of ways such as impact studies or the sourcing of potential biodiversity off sets. From an impact perspective, incorporating biodiversity into development projects contributes to the preservation and enhancement of local ecosystems. This can lead to improved air and water quality, natural climate regulation and the protection of wildlife habitats. Developing green spaces can enhance the well-being of local communities, providing recreational areas and improving the aesthetic value of the neighbourhood. This holds particularly for brownfi eld developments which can benefi t from a biodiversity net gain through the redevelopment project if ecosystem features are well taken into account. Alternatively, and this counts particularly for green fi eld projects at locations with a biodiversity value, development projects can signifi cantly aff ect local biodiversity, certainly if these are not meticulously planned and implemented.
While biodiversity considerations are more material in the context of development projects for VGP, they also play a material role in the management of standing assets. Buildings and their landscaping are part of the living environment for (urban) species and therefore have a potential impact on biodiversity. Certainly projects at the border of the built and the natural environment have a role to play to ensure economic activity and ecosystems minimize mutual interference. With upcoming regulatory requirements and a growing demand from citizens for a better living environment, biodiversity is considered in the management of standing assets. This includes efforts to minimise the impact of these assets on local ecosystems, and the indirect impact of the assets through on-site activities as well as to promote biodiversity where possible via renaturation projects aiming to restore natural elements and promote local flora and fauna within the urban environment.
From a fi nancial standpoint, biodiversity can also have substantial implications for VGP. On one hand, there may be costs associated with integrating biodiversity into development projects, such as the investment in green infrastructure or the potential reduction in developable space. On the other hand, properties that incorporate biodiversity can command higher rents and values, due to the increasing demand for sustainable and green spaces. Furthermore, a better integration of biodiversity considerations can help mitigate regulatory and reputational risks, as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent.
The consumption of raw materials is material for VGP. Particularly as the Group leads large development projects. Such projects require significant amounts of raw materials for construction. The way VGP manages its raw material consumption can affect its environmental performance, regulatory compliance, reputation and revenues. The type and quantity of materials used can both have important cost implications for VGP and a substantial impact on the environment, both in terms of resource depletion and the carbon footprint associated with material production and transport. VGP's reputation can be significantly influenced by its raw material consumption and supply practices. Furthermore, also for standing assets any upgrades or changes require multiple types of resources. The choice of materials can affect the building's energy efficiency, longevity and overall environmental impact. Additionally, the cost of raw materials is a significant part of VGP's capital expenditure and a major driver for the development margin. Any increase in the prices of these materials can directly impact VGP's profitability. Adopting circular economy practices has the potential to reduce material consumption while still maintaining growth and welfare creation, thereby reducing costs (over the life time of the project). Increasingly stringent environmental regulations and a growing public interest in sustainability mean that the real estate sector is under pressure to reduce the consumption of raw materials and to choose more sustainable options.
The potential material impacts are significant. From an environmental standpoint, the extraction and processing of raw materials can lead to habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion and pollution of water resources. From a social perspective, the extraction of raw materials can have significant impacts on local communities. It can lead to displacement of people, loss of livelihoods, and social conflict. Furthermore, poor working conditions in the extraction and processing industries can lead to H&S issues for workers.
Waste management during construction activities is an important aspect of VGP's ESG Strategy and targets, demonstrating its commitment to reducing the volume of waste generated and improving the way it is sorted and recycled.
It has been identified as material for VGP from both financial and impact materiality perspectives. This is attributed to various factors such as the type of VGP's operations and its sector, the geographical locations of its properties, or the specific environmental challenges it encounters.
Note waste management during the construction phase also has a direct impact on the material topic of GHG emissions from construction activities (embodied carbons), ESRS E1.
Waste management during the user phase is an integral part of VGP's environmental considerations, focusing on the efficient handling and disposal of waste generated by tenants and visitors in VGP properties. This practice is crucial for maintaining sustainability and operational efficiency and has been identified as material from a CSRD Double Materiality perspective for our enterprise. This assessment is based on the nature of VGP's operations during the user phase, even though this typically involves less direct control over waste management compared to the construction phase. Whilst the standardization of waste handling practices across the industry means that while essential, these activities do not uniquely impact VGP's financial position or environmental footprint as significantly as those encountered during construction the lack of waste management practices would still be considered a significant reputational risk. Moreover, VGP is committed to promoting recycling and reducing waste in line with its overall ESG Strategy.
Water management, both during construction and the operational phase, is an integral part of VGP's ESG Strategy and targets, focusing on reducing water withdrawals and advancing water reuse solutions. However, from both financial and impact materiality perspectives, it has been deemed less critical for VGP. This is due to the nature of its warehouses, which primarily support dry storage, distribution and manufacturing processes, resulting in relatively low water consumption compared to other real estate asset classes. In VGP Parks water use is typically confined to sanitation, employee facilities, and minimal landscaping.
While water management remains a component of VGP's sustainability efforts, its significance is overshadowed by other, more impactful factors. However, if water availability continues to evolve into a greater risk, this topic may gain material importance despite the inherently limited water usage in VGP premises. To proactively address this, water-saving measures, including enhanced monitoring through smart meters, are already being implemented.
Land use is highly relevant for a developer of logistics and semi-industrial real estate, as it directly impacts environmental sustainability and local communities. Such developments often require significant land for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and transportation infrastructure. The choices made in land use can affect biodiversity, soil health, water management, and carbon sequestration. The key topic stakeholders refer to under land use is the conversion of green field land into the built environment. Given the biodiversity topic is covered under ESRS E4, the remaining component under land use is the lack of alternative economic use of the land (for example for schooling, housing or farming) which although important has been identified as less material.
Even if the financial impact of cleaning up previously existing pollution, whether budgeted or unforeseen, can be material, it is considered less material from an impact perspective since the pollution was already present before VGP acquired the plot of land. However, addressing legacy pollution demonstrates the Group's commitment to environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance, which positively influences stakeholder trust and community relations. The cleaning of pollution is conducted in line with Group policies. The risk of creating pollution during the operational phase, including the cleaning of previously existing pollution, is covered under the material pollution topic of a construction site.
Out of the 10 social topics discussed covering the social-focused ESRS, 3 were recognized as material for VGP. The 3 topics identified as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are grouped together as 2 material Social topics:
— health and safety in (i) operated assets as well as at (ii) construction sites, as well as
— compliance with (iii) human rights for workers in the supply chain.
H&S and security in operated assets and on construction sites is a topic of significant materiality for VGP, both from an impact perspective and a financial standpoint, given its wide-ranging implications across various stakeholder groups and the potential risks involved. From a materiality perspective, the topic is crucial due to its direct impact on VGP's workforce, the communities affected by its operations, and its broader value chain, including the workers. The H&S conditions on construction sites and in operated assets can directly affect the well-being of employees and contractors, potentially leading to serious injuries or health issues if not properly managed.
This could result in financial implications for VGP, such as increased insurance premiums, compensation claims, fines for regulatory non-compliance, as well as reputational risk that harm its ability to conduct business relationships. The topic is also material from a talent retention perspective. Failures in this area could lead to higher turnover rates and increased recruitment costs, with a direct impact on the ability of VGP to deliver development projects as well as to effectively operate assets efficiently. Conversely, a strong commitment to H&S and security can contribute to a positive work environment, helping to attract and retain talent. This extends to the communities surrounding VGP's operations. Construction activities can pose risks to local residents, while the safety and security of public spaces within operated assets can impact the H&S of visitors and community members. Mismanagement in this area could harm VGP's reputation and ability to adequately position its assets as safe and secure. Furthermore, H&S and security considerations are also material in VGP's value chain. Suppliers and partners are expected to uphold the same high standards, and any failures in this area could disrupt operations, directly damage VGP's reputation or lead to legal proceedings in terms of severe mismanagement.
This topic covers 2 dimensions of importance directly related to the welfare of workers within the value chain: human rights and, by extension, H&S. These issues carry a multitude of risks, including legal (as per the future CS3D), financial and reputational risks. The financial implications and impact perspective of human rights and H&S issues within VGP's value chain could be far-reaching. They extend beyond the immediate legal and financial risks to include long-term impacts on the Company's reputation, relationships and resource access. The impact is considered high given Group construction activities, based on sectoral exposure to modern slavery and H&S. Legal risks arise from potential violations of human rights laws and regulations. Financial risks are associated with potential fines, penalties and the cost of remediation in case of non-compliance. Reputational risks could stem from instances of forced labour, child labour or any illegal activities associated with human rights violations. Such incidents can damage VGP's brand image, leading to loss of customer trust and potentially impacting its market position and financial performance.
Given the nature of VGP's operations, which involve a limited workforce in office settings, the Company is not significantly exposed to health and safety risks in its offices. While health and safety, wellness and security are important aspects of any workplace and proactive management of these issues, their materiality in VGP's operations, particularly from a financial standpoint, is relatively low. The potential risks associated with these areas are unlikely to have substantial implications for VGP's reputation among stakeholders or its legal compliance.
The accessibility of VGP's assets refers to how easily tenants and their visitors can reach and navigate VGP's properties. This could involve factors such as location, public transportation links, parking facilities and the layout and design of the properties. User comfort relates to the amenities and services provided at VGP's parks, such as public spaces, including greenery, heating and cooling systems, and cleanliness. While these factors are important for attracting and retaining tenants, they are considered of limited materiality because they are standard expectations in VGP's daily activities, and are already integrated in VGP's historical business model for both operations and development activities.
Although diversity, equity and inclusion ("DEI") is an integral part of VGP's HR policies and ESG Strategy, signifying its commitment to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment, it has been identified as less material for VGP from both financial and impact materiality perspectives. This suggests that while DEI is embedded in VGP's strategy, it is not considered as influential or significant as other factors in terms of its financial implications or the extent of its impact. This is due to a variety of factors such as the nature of VGP's operations, its sector, the limits set by various countries of operation for ethnicity-related policies, or the specific social challenges linked to its workforce. Despite its comparatively more limited materiality, DEI continues to be a crucial part of VGP's commitment to fostering a better workplace as the value of DEI lies in its potential to enhance the work environment, promote a culture of respect and acceptance, and ultimately contribute to employee well-being and talent retention.
Local communities are an important aspect of VGP's ESG Strategy demonstrating its commitment to positively influencing the communities in which it operates. However, it has been identified as less material for VGP from both financial and impact materiality perspectives. This implies that while the impact on local communities is incorporated into VGP's sustainability strategy, it is not deemed as influential or significant as other factors in terms of its financial consequences or the scale of its impact. For instance, VGP's operations might be such that the direct influence of community impact on its financial performance is less pronounced compared to other aspects. It is important to note that while it may not have a significant material impact on VGP, the value of community impact lies in its potential to enhance the local environment, promote a culture of respect and acceptance, and ultimately contribute to the overall success and VGP's license to operate.
The emphasis on training and development for VGP's employees is getting increasingly significant. The Group recognises the value of robust training programmes and continuous learning, and the role it plays in maintaining a competitive edge, fostering innovation and ensuring employee satisfaction. VGP places an emphasis on talent retention, providing career growth opportunities and promoting employee well-being. These initiatives not only contribute to a positive work environment but also help in attracting and retaining top talent. From a risk perspective, inadequate or ineffective training could potentially lead to performance issues, decreased employee satisfaction and a loss of competitive advantage. Therefore, while the materiality of this aspect might be lower when viewed from the broader perspective of the Group, the potential risks associated still underscore its importance.
Even though philanthropy and volunteering might have a less material impact from a purely financial perspective, their relevance under double materiality remains relevant. Philanthropy and volunteering initiatives demonstrate the company's commitment to social responsibility, contributing positively to community well-being, team building and enhancing corporate reputation. These activities can influence stakeholder perceptions, employee engagement, and long-term societal impacts, thereby playing a role in the holistic assessment of a company's sustainability performance.
Out of the governance topics, 2 out of 5 were identified as material. Out of the 5 governance topics discussed covering the governance-focused ESRS, 2 were recognized as material for VGP. The 2 topics identified as representing high risks or opportunities for VGP are:
Similar to the importance of considering workers in the value chain, the governance topic with the highest signifi cance on the matrix pertains to VGP's entire value chain, specifi cally focusing on the interactions with the supply chain. This topic is particularly crucial in terms of responsible purchasing, given the upcoming legislation (CSDDD). Consequently, the potential impact on VGP's operations is substantial, encompassing reputational, legal and fi nancial risks. VGP's extensive network of suppliers, a result of its diverse activities, further amplifi es the importance of this topic. VGP has the potential to infl uence its entire value chain positively by mitigating environmental and social risks while also maximising VGP's positive impact (demonstrating responsible business practices in driving sustainable change and ensuring a fair treatment of its business partners).
Business ethics and corruption is a topic of substantial materiality for VGP based on overall real estate sector exposure to bribery, corruption and anti-competitive practices. These risks arise from several factors, including the pan-European presence with operations of many entities across countries, the need to manage multiple local agents and subcontractors, the complexity of project management and project permitting, the magnitude of the contracts involved in building large infrastructure projects and the competitive process necessary to secure contracts with private and public entities. It has the potential to affect VGP's reputation, financial performance and could lead to legal penalties, financial losses and damage to VGP's reputation.
In general, any failure in this area could disrupt the activities and harm the reputation of VGP.
For VGP's workforce, business ethics are crucial in maintaining a fair and respectful workplace. Ethical misconduct can lead to a problematic work environment, affecting employee morale, productivity and talent retention.
It is important to note that the materiality of the topic of Political engagement and lobbying activities is limited due to VGP's policy on no political engagement activities, in addition to the fact that the Group's primary operations are in European countries, where strict legislation on lobbying activities exists.
Given that VGP is a real estate company, its exposure to data privacy and cybersecurity risks is comparatively low. However, VGP remains exposed to stringent regulations, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679, also known as the "General Data Protection Regulation" or "GDPR", in addition to local laws on data protection like the German Federal Data Protection Act ("BDSG"). VGP manages data, including employee data, supplier data and tenant data. Therefore, it is crucial for VGP to have robust privacy and cybersecurity measures in place to protect this data and comply with relevant regulations. Cybersecurity remains essential to ensure the integrity of VGP's digital infrastructure and prevent disruptions to its operations. A cybersecurity breach could lead to operational downtime, financial losses and damage to VGP's reputation.
Tax transparency refers to VGP's commitment to openly disclosing its tax practices and contributions. This includes providing clear information on tax payments, policies, and compliance with tax regulations. While this demonstrates VGP's dedication to ethical business practices and regulatory adherence, enhancing trust and credibility with stakeholders, it is considered of limited materiality from an impact perspective because such transparency is a standard expectation in VGP's governance practices. This commitment to tax transparency is already integrated into VGP's established business model, aligning with its ongoing efforts in maintaining transparency and accountability in corporate governance.

Environmental building certifications are a critical tool to support overall environmental performance of both development projects and standing assets. It is a way to demonstrate performance through established market standards, covering all environmental aspects of buildings. VGP aims to obtain operational environmental building certifications for 100% of its owned and managed warehouses and maintain the high level of the certifications obtained. The BREEAM certification is considered to be a good framework to guide the operational teams in the limitation of resources and circular economy concepts. Following the best industry standards, the Group started in 2020 to consistently certify its assets (certification renewals and new certifications) under the latest version of the BREEAM In-Use framework. This "version 6" includes features for driving environmental performance and occupant health and well-being, with added emphasis on resilience to climate change, social value and circular economy principles. The Group continued its certification policy in 2024 and now reaches a total of 24 assets BREEAM In-Use certified on Asset Performance (Part 1), including 1 asset for which the certificates have been received until February 2025. Among those 24 certified assets, there are 23 warehouses and 1 office building, accounting for a total certified area of over 0.6 million sqm. This represents a share of 10% of the Group's standing portfolio in number of assets, and a coverage of 11% in surface area.
In terms of comparison, 100% of the BREEAM In-Use certificates awarded to the Group's standing portfolio achieved at least the "Very Good" level for Asset Performance (Part 1).

In addition to striving for EU Taxonomy compliance (category 7.1 or category 7.7) for all new construction projects (see section 4.2.2.7 Disclosures Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation)), VGP, as part of its strategy for development projects set out in the sustainability guidelines, targets an environmental certification for all its new greenfield/ brownfield construction, refurbishment and extension projects:
VGP aims to achieve a minimum level of "Excellent" (BREEAM) or "Gold" (DGNB) for 100% of its development projects (with a certification covering the construction or the refurbishment). Additional or higher environmental certifications are obtained, when relevant to the real estate leasing or investment markets. In addition to securing the "Excellent"/ "Gold" level under BREEAM/DGNB respectively, all large projects need to undertake a technical and economic feasibility study to reach the BREEAM "Outstanding" or DGNB "Platinum" level, as applicable. Large projects that were able to obtain such Platinum certification include buildings in VGP Park Laatzen, VGP Park Munich and VGP Park Brasov.

Progress against climate-related targets set out in the updated ESG Strategy KPI sheet and as such is factored in the calculation of VGP's incentive schemes. For more detailed information, please refer to section Remuneration Report for the integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes.
Our Transition Plan for Climate Change Mitigation follows the 3 main objectives:
VGP came up with its first climate mitigation approach and net zero target in 2021, which included quantitative targets for the reduction of carbon emissions and energy consumption. Between 2020 and 2024, VGP achieved a cumulative reduction of 29% of energy intensity and 38% of carbon intensity. In February 2023, VGP published an updated ESG Strategy including its commitment to contribute to global carbon neutrality with new science-based net zero targets on Scopes 1 and 2 and new science-based targets aligned emission reduction targets for Scope 3 emissions.
Details of VGP's main carbon reduction targets, from a 2020 baseline (for more detailed information on the adjustments made to the 2020 baseline, please see section 4.2.1.1.2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances (ESRS 2 BP-2)).

Scope 1 Scope 2 (market-based)
In addition to the Group's reduction and net zero targets with respect to Scope 1 and 2, VGP is committed to contributing to global carbon neutrality within its scope 3 with an ultimate ambition for VGP to reach net zero. The scope 3 emissions are based on three main categories:
In order to reach those commitments, VGP has also confirmed its pre-existing carbon reduction sub-targets, still followed by the Group as levers to achieve its main targets:

Scopes 1 and 2 emissions are the emissions within VGP's direct control. All the below listed levers and mitigation efforts ensure that VGP's business model is compatible with the transition towards a sustainable economy, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions in line with 1.5°C pathways set in the Paris Agreement and with the objective of achieving global climate neutrality by 2050.
The figure below details the levers and their associated weight for the 2030 Scopes 1 and 2 objective to reduce by – 50% the GHG emissions compared to a 2020 baseline.
— The plan has been built in 2021/2022 and therefore considers the performance of the year 2020 as a starting point.

VGP Park Roosendaal
2 distinct categories represent more than 90% of total Scope 3 emissions:
Downstream leased assets (Tenant energy consumption) Scope 3 within Downstream leased assets emissions are mainly caused by the consumption of electricity and natural gas and the leakage of refrigerant fluids at asset level:
Limit the energy demand of VGP assets through an energy intensity reduction target of –40% in 2030 compared to 2020 in kWh/sqm;
For the residual electricity consumption:
– Since beginning of 2023 new tenant contracts require the procurement of green electricity and 30% of leases signed since have this requirement embedded as of Dec 2024
For the assumptions above, VGP will rely on the following levers to secure their achievement: green leases (updated in 2023), which includes a request to procure only 100% renewable energy, focus on energy efficiency, and the deployment of submetering systems to closely follow the impacts of the tenants' energy efficiency actions. EU energy efficiency directives as well as local building energy efficiency regulations will also support average tenants' energy intensity improvements.
Developments (Category 1): Emissions will be reduced through the implementation of low-carbon construction guidelines for new development projects. The guidelines require reduction in the embodied carbon performance of development projects, through the use of low-carbon or bio-sourced materials. Furthermore, the use of an Internal Carbon Pricing mechanism for new Developments assists the Group in the assessment of lower carbon construction material alternatives (see also section 4.2.2.2.11 Internal Carbon Pricing)

VGP's transition plan is fully aligned with the delegated act related to climate mitigation within the EU Taxonomy regulation. As the EU Taxonomy technical requirements for asset alignment are mostly related to the improvement of the energy performance of the buildings, the identified levers and associated CAPEX will contribute to the increase in alignment of VGP's economic activities.
VGP is not excluded from EU Paris-aligned benchmarks (PABs) as VGP's operating activities do not fall into any of the excluded activities.
The sustainability approach is fully embedded into the key processes of VGP, in line with the Group's strategic priorities and operational concerns. Relevant management processes have been set up at each stage of the business cycle, along with appropriate KPIs. Please see below excerpt from the Group strategy diagram with focus on the ESG elements across the value chain.

Since 2021 the Group has been promoting lease contracts which included agreements on ESG performance during the operation phase through a set of requirements, including fit-out, operation and reporting requirements. The approach, which at that time was based purely on dialogue, information, and sharing of best practices, encourages the tenants to play a role in the environmental performance of the assets which they occupy. These first versions of Green leases cover those aspects that are most relevant to improve tenants' environmental behaviours and performances, such as commitment to sharing energy consumption data, commitment to reviewing ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce net dependency through photovoltaic developments, and intention to discuss measures to save energy and water and sort waste.
In 2023 the green lease clause was updated in order to create a 'darker green' agreement which includes, in addition to the already existing clauses based on dialogue, a requirement to only procure 100% renewable energy. Only if not 'reasonably possible' for the tenant to procure such renewable energy, alternative sources can be procured
The table hereafter show the penetration rates of the lighter green lease contract, in circulation since 2021 and the latest applicable darker green lease version across the Group assets, both for standing assets and pipeline projects. The penetration rate of green leases signed in 2024 is 99% Group-wide.

The main target related to the Group climate adaptation strategy is the following:
100% of VGP's exposed assets to implement risk mitigation measures by 2030. More details related to the Group climate adaptation strategy are given in section 4.2.2.7.6 VGP share of aligned activities. The main targets related to climate change mitigation are presented in section 4.2.2.2.2 Transition plan for climate change mitigation. Additional details related to the Group's climate change mitigation sub-targets are presented below.
The embodied framework is based on the following three principals:
The Carbon reference pricing has been used on a mark-to-market reference price1 and allows the Group to assess the economic implications or trade-offs for such things as risk impacts, net present value of new projects and the cost-benefit of various design alternatives and initiatives.
VGP is committed to signifi cantly reduce the embodied carbon emissions from construction activities on a broad scope. In concrete terms, reducing its carbon intensity by 20% between 2020 and 2030 means dropping from an average, of 1,828 kgCO2 eq/ sqm constructed in 2020 to 1,462 kgCO2 eq/sqm on average based on a similar volume of square meters delivered by the end of 2030. In order to be better able to be better able to track the impact of actions required to deliver progress the group has standardised the carbon impact of materials choices and implemented a carbon pricing mechanism in the building phase. Comparing the embodied carbon provided by life cycle assessment (LCA) calculations conducted by consultants as part of BREEAM studies in various countries has shown that the BREEAM LCA guidelines are implemented differently in each country, this makes it diffi cult to compare achievements. Given the Group has a uniform building standard, in the calculation the weight is put more on specifi c improvement measures to reduce embodied carbons whilst taking location specifi c circumstances as much as possible into account. Taking into account EU guidelines the

VGP Park Timisoara, solar panels
Group has extended the lifespan in the calculations to 50 years from previously 20 years2. This has resulted in higher operational carbon and replacement carbon for materials that have a life span shorter than the assumed building life span.
With regards to the cradle-to-grave embodied carbon without operational carbon, the framework encourages certain improvements for example a bearer structure built from wooden beams or columns (grown from responsible forestry), use of green steel or Ecopact concrete as building materials to reduce impact of construction materials, or specific renewable energy initiatives to reduce the lifetime operating carbons.
With regards to operational carbon, the eco-effi ciency measures that have been introduced now as standard have started to take eff ect, notably reducing the operational carbon intensity down by 18.1% since 2020. With full implementation of air heat pumps and photovoltaic installations the Group will be able to achieve a 20% reduction in embodied carbons intensity by 2030.

The strategy to reduce emissions from tenant operations is built upon our green leases and energy management and renewable energy policies based on the following pillars:


Green lease contracts – annual consumption and efficiency improvement review
Installing heatpumps instead of gas-powered heating
Offer renewable energy through rooffitted photovoltaic installations
The improvements at the asset level are further monitored and assessed with support of the CRREM tool.
The Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM), an EU-funded research project established in 2018, is helping real estate owners like VGP understand the financial risks to our portfolio in relation to various decarbonisation scenarios.
Since 2021, VGP has conducted an annual CRREM analysis of its entire portfolio in order to understand stranding profile of the various sub-portfolios across countries and analyse improvements scenarios, including energy efficiency operations, switch to electric heating (heat pumps) instead of gas-powered heating and optimisation of investments into renewable energy production facilities.

The operational solar capacity increased significantly in 2024 to 155.7 MWp, up 53% year-overyear which should equate to a marketable production of circa 130 GWh. The total solar portfolio, including pipeline projects, total 287.7 MWp and is expected to generate 266 GWh of renewable electricity annually once fully operational.
In order to enhance self-consumption and contribute to a more stable and efficient energy grid, VGP is in the process of setting up Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The first two BESS units are being installed for a combined 6.8 MWh. An additional 45.1 MWh is in the design phase and 38.8 MWh under feasibility assessment.

Although we continue to expand the use of on-site solar at more of our parks, the intermittent nature of solar power often limits how much of a tenant's total power needs can be met by these installations. By integrating battery storage with on-site solar, it is possible to store surplus power during periods of high production (e.g., sunny days) so that a facility can continue to meet its own needs during periods of low production (e.g., after dark). Such systems can also help manage the balance on the overall grid and help optimize the use of grid electricity based on variable price and energy mix throughout the day and thereby reduce overall costs and emissions.
For example, the figure below compares consumption and solar generation for a typical day at one of our buildings, highlighting excess solar electricity that could be stored and used on-site instead of being exported to the grid. At the start of 2025 we have 6.8 MWh of battery storage at two locations in development and a further 40 MWh of projects in the pipeline, which will inform our evaluation of the potential for wider implementation in the future.

The method used for quantifying Group emissions is in line with the ISO 14064 standard, the GHG protocol guidelines and the Bilan Carbone® methodology of ADEME (Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l'Énergie, or French Environment and Energy Management Agency). The sources of emissions included in the Group's total carbon footprint are broken down per Scope and influence level in the table hereafter. The Group calculates its carbon footprint on an extended Scope 3 basis, which is outlined in this table, measuring the major indirect emissions across its entire value chain. To reflect the Group's business activities in the most accurate manner, including the interactions between the company and its stakeholders, Scope 3 has been further broken down into four categories:
| Scope 1 | |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | — Direct emissions from stationary combustion: gas and fuel consumption in VGP offices — Direct emissions from mobile combustion: fuel used for company vehicles — Direct fugitive emissions including leaks of refrigerant gas |
| Scope 2 | |
| Scope 2 | — Indirect emissions linked to electricity and district heating in VGP offices and used to charge company vehicles (linked to energy production only) |
| Scope 3 – Own offices and employees | |
| Scope 3: Category 1 (purchased goods & services) | — Indirect emissions from paper usage in VGP offices (other purchased goods & services not considered) |
| Scope 3: Category 3 (indirect energy) | — Upstream emissions of purchased fuels and energy (extraction, production and transport of fuel, electricity) |
| Scope 3: Category 5 (waste on-site) | — Indirect emissions from waste at offices |
| Scope 3: Category 6 (business travel) | — Indirect emissions from employees' business travel (excluding company vehicles) |
| Scope 3: Category 7 (employee commuting) | — Indirect emissions from employees' commute from home to work (excluding company vehicles) |
| Scope 3 – Portfolio 'in use' (tenant activities) | |
| Scope 3: Category 13: downstream leased assets | — Indirect emissions from energy consumption and fugitive emissions due to leaks of refrigerant gas/fluid in tenant's operations in VGP's standing portfolio |
| Scope 3 – embodied carbon in development activities (life cycle analysis) | |
| Scope 3: Category 1 (developments) |
— Emissions caused over the life-time use of the assets created by the development activities, including materials used and indirect emissions caused by transport to site, as well as future usage of the building |
| Scope 3: Category 11 (Use of sold products – Life time maintenance and demolition) |
— Emissions from the use of goods and services sold by the reporting company in the reporting year. A reporting company's scope 3 emissions from use of sold products include the scope 1 and scope 2 emissions of end users. End users include both consumers and business customers that use final products. |
| Scope 4 | |
| Scope 4 (total avoided emissions elsewhere) |
— Emissions avoided elsewhere when renewable energy is injected into the grid and therefore used as a substitute for grey energy elsewhere, fulfilling the same functions but with a lower carbon intensity |

2 Considerations for the evaluation of the scope 1 emissions: Scope 1 is set up in accordance with the GHG protocol and reflects the fuel use and district heating used for the heating of VGP offices and the fuel use of the company cars. The Scope 1 emissions that come from fuels used for heating and are calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol. For Austria, France (Paris), Latvia, Luxembourg, Serbia and Slovakia the fuel use has been based on extrapolation. The extrapolations were made by making an average between Romania's, Belgium's and The Netherlands's VGP office surface and natural gas consumption. The remainder of Scope 1 emissions come from the emissions of company cars. To calculate the emissions from company cars the KM's driven (estimates derived from lease contracts or employee statements) and the used liters of fuel consumed were used. The 20% decrease y-o-y on the one hand reflects the transition in the car fleet from a fuel based fleet to an electrical or hybrid car fleet leading to a 19% reduction y-o-y. In addition there was a 35% decrease in emissions that come from office heating.
3 Considerations for the evaluation of the scope 2 emissions (Market based & Location based): Scope 2 is set up in accordance with the GHG protocol and reflect the emissions from the electricity consumption in the offices and the electricity used to charge the electric company cars. The Scope 2 emissions that reflect the energy consumption of offices are calculated in the following manner: For the calculation of the total emissions, extrapolations were made for the offices in Austria, France (Paris), Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal (Lisbon) Serbia, and Spain (Madrid, Sarragosse, Seville). The extrapolation was made based on surface area of the offices multiplied by an average that was calculated based on all the other offices that have evidence for their consumption. The Scope 2 emissions that reflect the electricity used for electric vehicles have been calculated with use of extrapolations of the KWh charged for hybrid vehicles in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. In 2024 VGP saw a significant increase in the amount of EV's in the company's fleet. As the VGP Offices have a PPA for green energy, the KWh amounts charged at office charging facilities have been included under this arrangement and are considered to use green energy. The 776% y-o-y increase in the market based scope 2 emissions is explained by the 8% increase in energy usage compared to the 2023 period (the 9% increase in office size being a main driver together with office charging of the EV fleet). The major driver for the increase in market based emissions is the increase in the EV and Hybrid Vehicle fleet and the increase in chagring of these vehicles outside of the office. The 87% increase in location based scope 2 emissions is caused by the increase electric vehicles and their charging outside of the office facilities and a slight (13%) increase in location based office emissions. The KWh's charging outside of the VGP offices are considered to be grey energy.
4 Considerations for the evaluation of the category 13: downstream leased assets. The emissions in this category consist of indirect emissions from energy consumption tenant's operations in the standing portfolio. The (52%) YoY decrease of emissions can be explained due to adoption of landlord controlled renewable energy certifi cates (RECs) purchasing mainly, tenant-controlled RECs and renewable energy contracts, and increase of self-consumption of onsite generated solar energy. Following the calculation exclusion rules set out for all energy-related indicators, i.e. excluding assets delivered after 30/6/2024, the number of assets considered in 2024 is 223 (see 4.2.1.1.1 Scoping exceptions for energy-related indicators and BREEAM in-use certifi cations for scope 1, 2 and 3, p. 233). Second half year delivered assets account for less than 1% of the total 43,271 tCO2e. Regarding estimations, 23 assets used full or partial extrapolations for fuel consumption, 2 assets used full or partial extrapolations for district heating consumption, and 41 assets used full or partial extrapolation for electricity consumption. Extrapolations are done by multiplying gross internal fl oor area with median energy intensities per property type classifi cation. Valid intensities require near 100% data coverage, both based on area (sqm) and time (days) covered. Property type classifi cation and validation of energy intensities for extrapolation aligned with GRESB's Aggregation Handbook (GRESB, 2025). Additionally, the 2023 value is restated (from 104,863 to 90,516 tCO2e) following application of the exclusion rules as was done for the 2024 fi gures (see above for section reference) and also the adjustment of the used emission factor. As a result, 205 assets (previously 222) assets are considered in 2023, the diff erence being 5 assets not included in the environmental scope and 12 second half year delivered assets. Second half year delivered assets account for less than 1% of the total restated 90,516 tCO2e.

To manage the carbon performance of its portfolio of buildings, the Group has set indicators to measure the intensity of GHG emissions per area (sqm) for each of its operated parks based on the tenant segment/usage of the building. This makes it possible to analyse a building's overall carbon efficiency on a comparable basis, depending on its purpose and scope.

The Group is prioritising the reduction of gross emissions by 50% by 2030 in absolute value of carbon emissions equivalent and the carbon emission intensity by 90% by 2050.
In addition, and in accordance with SBTi Corporate Net Zero standard, VGP is committed to permanently neutralize residual emissions at the net zero target year of 2025 and thereafter. In this regard, for 2025, VGP already secured 850 tCO2 emission certificates from Agreena Project in Denmark, a Verra-compliant agriculture project with the aim to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil1 .
VGP applies a carbon reference pricing scheme in the evaluation of new project's profitability.. The internal carbon pricing scheme allows management to apply carbon reference prices in its strategic and operational decision making around carbon measures in capex decisions around new projects. The carbon reference pricing is implemented in new developments of buildings across all the countries in which the Group is active, to assist in the materials choices, The model is thus far not used for other capex decisions (for example land acquisition or renewable energy projects). The carbon price is applied based on the embodied carbons including operational carbon, in order to provide a proper comparison of the carbon impact throughout the lifetime of a project. Whilst the Scope 3 emissions reporting for the group excludes operational carbon, the calculation method deliberately includes it given several of the carbon capex investments actually result in higher cradle-to-grave carbon intensity (for example additional insulation) but result in a significant reduction of operational carbon. For a proper carbon evaluation one should take both into account over the life time of the project. For each country in which the Group is active the reference carbon emissions for a standard project are determined and carbon savings are expressed compared to this reference project. Example saving measures include, usage of :
The euro value saving is then based on the saving in embodied carbon emissions multiplied with the EU ETS2 of 31 Dec of the prevailing year. The Group to assess the economic implications or trade-offs for such things as risk impacts, net present value of new projects and the cost-benefit of various design alternatives and initiatives.

The tool is part of the Group's initiatives to ensure alignment with regards to reduction of Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030. This target is aligned with the science-based target for IPCCC scenario of limiting global warming to well-below 2°C. The implicated disclosed Scope 3 emissions amounted to 158,740 tCO2 in FY2024.
VGP carried out various assessments targeting climate-related risks and opportunities at asset as well as at the Group level:
These studies were conducted to meet the following objectives:
To ensure the completeness of the analysis, the assessments are conducted in alignment with the various regulations and sustainability frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy and the TCFD. For climate-related physical risks, the list of indicators studied, as well as the time horizons (baseline, 2030, 2050) and the scenarios (SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5) chosen as part of the study are aligned with the various regulatory requirements and recommendations (EU Taxonomy, CDP, TCFD and CSRD among others). For the transition risks and opportunities component, the choice of time horizons (2025, 2030, 2050) and scenarios

VGP Park Fuenlabrada
– Nationally Determined Scenario ("NDC") which corresponds to business as usual and net zero 2050 – followed the same logic. It is important to note that the objective of the analysis is to assess the most critical scenario. As part of the physical risk component, the analysis is carried out using the reference scenario with the highest level of GHG emissions and a strong dependence on fossil fuels – the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Under this scenario, no policy to limit GHG emissions is considered, leading to an acceleration of climate change and the resulting physical impacts. By using this scenario as a reference for its adaptation plans, VGP ensures the resilience of its assets to the worst probable future materialised by the IPCC scenarios. For the transition risks and opportunities aspect, the logic remains the same, but the more drastic scenario is the net zero by 2050, which will bring the greatest constraints (and opportunities for transformation) for companies – on regulatory, market, technological or even reputational aspects – requiring them to make profound changes in terms of construction and operational approaches, culture or even organisation. Identifying transition risks and opportunities as part of compliance with the Paris Agreement allows VGP to anticipate their potential impact on the Group and prepare for them.
In 2023, the Group completed a study of both its standing assets and development projects using the Blue Auditor's Climate Risk tool to assess exposure to physical risks. The study is compliant with the EU Taxonomy requirements (see "Adaptation to climate change" paragraph in section 4.2.2.7.6 VGP's Share of aligned activities) and brought to the Group an updated perspective of the risk level, relying on state-of-the-art climate modelling. In addition, assets' visits have been conducted on the most exposed assets to evaluate more precisely the impact curves of the potential risks considering the details of the asset (topography, localisation of the technical equipment, existing resilience solutions already in place, etc.).

The map below highlights the average climate risk assessment score per park per country with average scores based on the summary findings per hazard category as listed in the table above.

The climate-related physical risks are evaluated under 3 different angles, considering vulnerability, depending on the potential impacts:
Implemented adaptation measures to address these risks include the incorporation of green spaces, rainwater harvesting and sustainable drainage systems to reduce the risk of fl ooding, access to natural light in the buildings, and the provision of infrastructure for active mobility and public transport. Additionally, measures to improve the energy effi ciency of buildings and the use of renewable energy sources can also help to reduce the risk of heat stress – in Spain and Italy all new buildings are therefore fi tted with photovoltaic installations and heat pumps which help to provide additional cooling in summer. The buildings are designed to provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, taking into account factors such as ventilation, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality.
It is important to note that climate risk analysis and adaptation measures are an ongoing process, as the impacts of climate change are constantly evolving and new risks may arise over time. Therefore, it is important for companies to regularly review and update their climate risk analysis and adaptation measures to ensure that they are eff ectively addressing the latest climate-related risks. This includes monitoring the performance of the building, gathering feedback from tenants and evaluating the eff ectiveness of the adaptation measures, and making adjustments as necessary.
| Risk | Adaptation Technique |
|---|---|
| Drought Stress and Heat Stress |
– Rainwater harvesting systems for building use and landscaping – Water efficient fixtures in line with EU Taxonomy regulations – Thermal modelling undertaken and orientation/window positioning of the building reviewed – Onsite renewable energy generation installed in combination with air heat pumps (which can be used for additional cooling) – External planting to provide shade, brise soleil, louvers, window tinting |
| Fluvial (River) and pluvial (Rainfall) flooding |
– Flood risk assessment to be carried out on development or retrospectively – Wadi's, ponds or basins (retention measures) |
This update of the climate change risk assessment enabled VGP to have a clear view on the future risks of climate change for its portfolio.
Climate change will materially affect global economies and VGP, with its pan-European footprint and different lines of business, is no exception. – as already highlighted in the section on materiality analysis. The risks and opportunities emerging today will evolve and increase over the mid to long term. In addition to the acute and chronic physical impacts on our property portfolio as discussed in the previous section, risks and opportunities also result from the structural change stemming from the transition to a low-carbon economy. These transition risks include the impacts of changes in climate policy, technology, and market sentiment, and their impact on the market value of financial assets, as well as impacts resulting from climate change litigation.
Considerations in this regard include the long-term horizons over which climate change may unfold and the high level of uncertainty over the direction of future climate and economic developments. Our objective is to foster risk awareness, build expertise in the assessment of financial risks from climate change, test our business strategy resilience, and inform risk management and business decision-making.
The initial climate-risk risk assessment was performed throughout 2022 at the VGP Group level (see VGP Annual Report 2022). During 2023, the VGP building standard and land acquisition process were adapted according to the risk profile assessment. The Group also updated its transitionary risks and opportunities, taking into account business profile, geographical presence, and locally applicable regulations. These have been integrated into the Group risk management process and as such risks are described in the Group Risk section (see section Risk Factors). Please see table below with "Key climate change transition risks" and "Key climate-related opportunities":
| Risk | Description | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Policy risks | Policy actions around climate change continue to evolve. Their objectives generally fall into 2 categories: – policy actions that attempt to constrain actions that contribute to the adverse effects of climate change or – policy actions that seek to promote adaptation to climate change. – Some examples include implementing carbon-pricing mechanisms to reduce GHG emissions, shifting energy use toward lower emission sources, adopting energy-efficiency solutions, and promoting more sustainable land-use practices. |
The risk associated with and financial impact of policy changes depend on the nature and timing of the policy change. |
| Litigation or legal risk |
Recent years have seen an increase in climate-related litigation claims being brought before the courts by property owners, municipalities, states, insurers, shareholders and public interest organisations. Reasons for such litigation include the failure of organisations to mitigate impacts of climate change, failure to adapt to climate change and the insufficiency of disclosure around material financial risks. |
As the value of loss and damage arising from climate change grows, litigation risk is also likely to increase |
| Technology risk | Technological improvements or innovations that support the transition to a lower-carbon, energy-efficient economic system can have a significant impact on organisations. The development and use of emerging technologies such as renewable energy, battery storage, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage will affect the competitiveness of certain organisations, their production and distribution costs, and ultimately the demand for their products and services from end-users. |
To the extent that new technology displaces old systems and disrupts some parts of the existing economic system, winners and losers will emerge from this "creative destruction" process. The timing of technology development and deployment, is a key uncertainty in assessing technology risk |
| Market risk | While the ways in which markets could be affected by climate change are varied and complex, one of the major ways is through shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products and services as climate-related risks and opportunities are increasingly taken into account. |
Fluctuating demand for sustainable buildings, evolving tenant ESG requirements, potential asset devaluation due to carbon-intensive portfolios, and increased financing costs linked to stricter green investment criteria. |
| Reputation risk | Climate change has been identified as a potential source of reputational risk tied to changing customer or community perceptions of an organisation's contribution to or detraction from the transition to a lower-carbon economy |
Potential damage to brand value, reduced investor confidence, and loss of tenants if the Group fails to meet sustainability expectations, comply with ESG regulations, or align with industry best practices for low-carbon developments |
| Opportunity | Description | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resource efficiency |
Portfolio management: Increasing the appeal of our assets by reduced operating costs for our tenants by improving efficiency of buildings such as developing efficient heating solutions, making advances in LED lighting technology, retrofitting buildings and employing geothermal power across production and distribution processes. Development activities: The same applies to efficiency of other processes including in the construction of new buildings through use of machinery/appliances and transport/ mobility – in particular in relation to energy efficiency but also including broader materials, water and waste management and circular economy solutions. |
|||||
| Energy source | Portfolio management: According to the International Energy Agency ("IEA"), to meet global emission-reduction goals, countries will need to transition a major percentage of their energy generation to low-emission alternatives such as wind, solar, wave, tidal, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, biofuels, and carbon capture and storage. By shifting the energy usage of the portfolio toward low-emission energy sources could potentially save tenants on annual energy costs. Own operations: same saving applies to own operations and development activities |
|||||
| Products and services |
Development activities: Organisations that innovate and develop low-emission buildings may improve their competitive position and capitalise on shifting tenant preferences Renewable energy business line: the innovation of new products and services (renewable energy production through solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers) improves the attractiveness of the Group's products and services overall and makes the business operations more resilient |
|||||
| Markets | Development activities: Organisations that pro-actively seek opportunities in new (climate resilient) markets or types of assets may be able to diversify their activities and better position themselves for the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Opportunities may also arise from capturing markets through solving system constraints (e.g. a new park based on an energy community through low-emission energy production, energy efficiency, limited grid connectivity and local transport networks) Own operations: New opportunities can also be captured through underwriting or financing green bonds. |
|||||
| Resilience | All business lines: The concept of climate resilience involves organisations developing adaptive capacity to respond to climate change to better manage the associated risks and seize opportunities, including the ability to respond to transition risks and physical risks. Opportunities include improving efficiency, designing new production processes and developing new products. Opportunities related to resilience may be especially relevant for organisations with long-lived fixed assets or extensive supply or distribution networks; those that depend critically on utility and infrastructure networks or natural resources in their value chain; and those that may require longer-term financing and investment. |

For all its development projects, the Group complies with all applicable regulation regarding H&S and environmental matters. An assessment of the environmental impact of each project (following applicable regulation) is carried out at a very early stage. There is no provision for environmental risk in the Group's accounting in 2024. Since 2022, the Group's Considerate Construction Charter is applied to all greenfield/brownfield construction projects in all the countries in which the Group is active. It describes the Group's requirements and recommendations intended to optimise its worksites' environmental quality while minimising pollution for the contractors working on site, the neighbouring area and the natural environment. The application of the charter to all construction contractors is a specific requirement.
The Considerate Construction Charter includes the following requirements:
Moreover, the Group ensures that the action plans and preventative measures are implemented by contractors during construction. The table below lists the annual monetary expenses for soil decontamination/site remediation and volumes that have been detoxified.

The Group complies with all applicable environmental legislation across all its activities. The Group's acquisitions and developments are covered by the policy of risk management and subject to H&S, environmental and climate risk analysis. As such, the Group's acquisition process incorporates an assessment of technical, regulatory H&S and environmental risks, including soil pollution, wetland protection and climate change, as part of its preacquisition due diligence.
The prevention of H&S and security risks for people (employees, tenants, suppliers, subcontractors and local communities) and of environmental risks linked with the operation of its parks forms an integral part of the Group's risk management policy. The Group complies with all applicable legislation in this regard and often exceeds minimum standards required by laws to ensure a higher standard of H&S and security at its construction sites. The H&S and security management systems enable the Group to monitor and assess its performance regarding risk prevention on a day-to-day basis and maintain a strong risk management culture embedded within operating and management teams.
Related to the pollution of air linked to the transport movements of tenants and their suppliers to our parks, VGP is committed to reduce the carbon emissions linked to such transportation (see section 4.2.2.2.2 Transition plan for climate change mitigation) and to improve the sustainable means of transport connectivity (including the electrification of the vehicle fleet) to reduce the emissions of fine particles due to the use of internal combustion engine cars.
With regards to the pollution of water and soil through waste deposit, VGP is committed to reduce waste to landfill throughout the operation of its own offices by 2030, to limit the global quantity of waste generated in its parks by 2030 and to improve the total recycle rate of operational waste to limit any potential impact related to its waste production (see section 4.2.2.3.4 Targets related to pollution and section 4.2.2.6.2 Policies related to resource use and circular economy).
The Group has drawn up H&S risk management policies, reinforced by the release of the Group's Health and Safety Statement, which includes rules and guiding principles at Group level. The main areas covered by the Group's H&S risk management policy are air and water quality, air pollution, technical and safety installations, and fire extinguishing and alarm systems. This Group policy includes, in particular, an annual review of H&S risks at standing assets by Group facility management, and the inspection and continuous improvement of buildings and their technical equipment liable to have an impact on the environment or on personal safety.
Technical documentation on regulatory maintenance and testing is also kept up-to-date and made available at each site.
In 2024 35% of Group assets under development received at least one external assessment and 100% an internal assessment.
| 2024 H&S external assessment coverage (%) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 H&S internal assessment coverage (%) | 100 | ||
| % of audited sites obtaining an satisfactory score |
Internal reviews are also being held Group-wide, at construction sites, to ensure the enforcement of H&S regulations and procedures and in order to identify required improvement actions if any.
One of the corner stones of the Group's risk prevention approach is staff training. As such, local teams get the necessary H&S training under the supervision of regional technical teams according to their needs, and all new employees of relevant departments attend an introductory course to review H&S policies, encompassing risk control policies and tools. On-site teams are trained in first aid techniques and maintain close relationships with local emergency services (fire brigade, paramedics and police) as well as with the relevant administrative departments. For more details, see section Risk Factors.

The Group took several commitments to limit its environmental impacts related to pollution:
The main source of pollution is coming from GHG emissions, which are already disclosed within section 4.2.2.2 Climate change.
The Group is not active in the production, use, distribution, commercialisation, or import/export of substances of concern and substances of very high concern, whether on their own, in mixtures, or in articles. As part of our circular economy concept, we collaborate with tenants on waste sorting initiatives to enhance resource efficiency. Any hazardous waste generated by our tenants is reported separately in section 4.2.2.6.2 Policies related to resource use and circular economy (ESRS E5-1).
Anticipated financial effects from material pollution-related risks and opportunities are in line with the estimates presented in section 4.1.1.1.2 Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by the undertaking's Sustainability Statement (ESRS 2 IRO-2).

VGP Park Berlin Ludwigsfelde
The non-financial risk assessment pointed out that water is not a key environmental issue for VGP. Indeed, the tenants within the Group's portfolio are not considered as being significant water consumers. Nevertheless, VGP acknowledges water as a fundamental resource and upholds the right for everyone to have fair and equitable access to it.
Please see sections 4.1.1.1.1. Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (ESRS 2 IRO-1) and section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process.

Water consumption at the Group's assets is driven by the occupational tenant usage of the asset and predominantly driven by the number of employees. Water consumption within the portfolio is concentrated to a number of large consumers with the top 10 tenants accounting for 40% of total water consumption, typically related to manufacturing and warehouses using cooling facilities. Whilst focus on water consumption improvement at these sites will be most effective, reducing water consumption is an operational target at all parks as part of the Group's resource efficiency policy and is tracked and managed at asset and Group levels.
Reducing water consumption is an operational target at all sites as part of the Group's resource efficiency policy and is tracked and managed at asset and Group levels. Based on environmental best practices, the Group is taking active steps to limit water consumption, reduce water waste and maintain water quality.
With respect to VGP Parks operating in areas susceptible to drought (see also the Climate risk assessment in section 4.2.2.2.12 Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities ESRS E1-9)), apart from ensuring only drought-resilient vegetation is planted, the water consumption is further limited through irrigation systems with moisture monitoring to optimize water dispersion. These systems are planned to be installed in 2025 in most of the Group's parks in Spain which are the location most prone to drought. In 2025 a capex of € 38k is budgeted for these investments. Once operational, these will inform our evaluation of the potential for wider implementation in the future.
| % of parks in water stressed areas with water reuse solutions or Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)1 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| % of parks with water reuse solutions | 17% |
The fi rst target focuses on water stressed areas where water conservation and preservation issues are more material. "Water stressed areas" are defi ned according to the WWF Water Risk Filter, using the water scarcity risk KPI. For assets located in these areas (12 assets as per the WWF risk fi lter in 2023), the reuse of water is a priority to limit the consumption of municipal water. The second target has the same objective but with a diff erent timeframe for VGP's assets not located in water stressed areas. The Group prioritises the use of non-drinkable or reused water over drinkable water wherever possible. In 2024, 8 VGP Parks collected 171,000 m³ of rainwater and groundwater or greywater on site, which was retained for watering green spaces and grey water usage. Projects are also planned in the environmental actions plans of some of the Group's assets to increase water reuse, for example in VGP Park GieBen am Alten Flughafen (see Case Study page 281).

Special efforts are made to install water-efficient equipment. The group is in the process of analysing the implementing a real-time monitoring tool that allows to detect leaks so to ensure these can be repaired rapidly. Water monitoring is a key focus for the Group, which also started rolling out water connected submeters in new developments. Additionally, aerators and other low-flowrates water features have been implemented in assets in accordance to BREEAM requirements. As a result, water and cost savings were achieved. In addition to this impact, in order to avoid irrigation need as much as possible drought tolerant landscaping is implemented both in terms of flora selection as well as water retention ability. Up to last year circa € 5 million was invested in water-saving measures in existing buildings and in 2024 a further € 1.6 million was invested. For new developments and refurbishments, the following standards are used across the portfolio:
To optimise water use and leverage-associated cost savings, the Group also prioritises the use of non-drinkable or reused water over drinkable water wherever possible. In 2024, in total 171,028 m3 of rainwater could be collected on site for cleaning and for watering green spaces. At existing parks, the Group relies on a close cooperation with tenants to reduce water consumption. Green leases (see section sub-section Focus on Green Leases in the section 4.2.2.2.6 Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies (ESRS E1-3)) and tenants' discussions on site are used to help raise awareness among tenants about water use and to get them on board with water management. Please refer to section 4.2.2.4.4 Targets related to water and marine resources for more information.
In 2024, the Group has committed to new targets on water:
The third Group target aims at reducing the overall water consumption in VGP's assets. The water usage is typically related to sanitary use, and water consumption at the Group's assets is mostly driven by the number of employees working in our assets per square meter. Special efforts are made to install water-efficient equipment, optimise operating practices and ensure that leaks are detected and repaired rapidly. The Group also started rolling out water connected smart meters in order to better monitor water consumption. Additionally, aerators and other low-flow water features are implemented in assets in accordance with EU Taxonomy and BREEAM requirements. At existing
VGP Park Nijmegen
assets, the Group relies on a cooperation with tenants to reduce water consumption. Green leases (see sub-section "Focus on green leases" in section 4.2.2.2.6 Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies) and tenants' discussions on site are used to help raise awareness among tenants about water use and to get them on board with water management. In terms of preventing environmental pollution, run-off water collected from tarmac is treated before being disposed of through municipal wastewater networks.


Water retention basin at VGP Park Giessen am Alten Flughafen
The fi nal phase of the Giessen am Alten Flughafen development, including the last building and a multistory parking facility, was completed in 2024. The project incorporates diverse sustainability measures, particularly in water conservation, reducing resource consumption while enhancing effi ciency.
Six large recycled cisterns with a total capacity of 716,000 litres store rainwater with the collected water used for toilet flushing and irrigating green spaces, significantly reducing the demand for fresh water
in accordance with EU Taxonomy requirements, all sanitary areas are equipped with low-flow water-saving fixtures (e.g., showers with 8 l/min flow rate) to minimize consumption
Protection: Excess rainwater is filtered and discharged into the nearby Krebsbach stream, reducing the burden on the municipal drainage system whilst a WGK membrane (Water Hazard Class film) is used to protect groundwater from potential contamination. In addition Green roofs on office and technical areas reduce runoff while improving insulation.

Water purchased from the district network (municipal water) and water withdrawals from other sources for use in common and private areas of standing assets.
In 2024, absolute water consumption in our parks increased by 1.4% compared with 2023 whilst water intensity in litres/sqm at assets in operation decreased by 10% compared with 2023 on a like-for-like basis.
The average municipal water consumption in our buildings is 0.078 m³/sqm this is mainly concentrated in a number of semi-industrial and retail related warehouses. Total reported water consumption in 2024 was 574,000 m³.

2 Municipal water use only; excluding any internally reused or recycled water ("grey water")
As part of its ESG Strategy roadmap, the Group developed a Group biodiversity strategy in 2022. This biodiversity strategy, which is summarized in this section, was subsequently converted into a biodiversity policy in 2023.
The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 20301 sets out a comprehensive package of commitments and actions to put Europe's biodiversity on the path to recovery by 2030 for the benefi t of its citizens, the planet, the climate and the economy, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and with the objective of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The goal of the policy is to put Europe's biodiversity on a path to recovery by 2030.
The EU Biodiversity Strategy was published in 2021 and on that basis in 2022 VGP developed a biodiversity Group strategy based on the following four pillars:




Respect protected areas and sites with high biodiversity value and stakes.
Restore nature, first where such an investment is most meaningful and advance sustainable management across the value chain
Enable change through education of own workforce and stakeholders; seek to strengthen use of green financing framework
Deploy actions outside of immediate value chain through continuation of VGP Foundation nature projects

VGP operates in the EU and is therefore bound by a strong legal framework to protect its most valuable, rate and threatened species and habitats across the countries in which it operates. In alignment with sustainability standards of BREEAM and DGNB, as well as with the minimum safeguard requirements of EU Taxonomy, the Group has implemented a Conservation Hierarchy and Ecology planning which is detailed in the VGP Corporate Biodiversity Policy1 .

The VGP Biodiversity strategy and policy lays out a comprehensive plan of actions to help restore biodiversity in VGP Parks, first in those locations with the most meaningful impact. Particularly in those locations with a meaningful impact the strategy includes a restoration agenda and value natural capital in the long run.
— By categorizing locations and stipulating a call to action for those closer to sensitive areas, the study assisted the Group in outlining a risk mitigation strategy
Ensure biodiversity is protected in the value chain through adherence to the Suppliers' Code of Conduct3

Adopting a more integrated and whole-of-society approach to biodiversity will ensure co-responsibility and co-ownership by all relevant actors in meeting the EU's biodiversity commitments. An enabling environment for both VGP employees, stakeholders and society at large is essential to change the way biodiversity is perceived.

Pillar 4
A final cornerstone of the VGP Biodiversity Strategy sets out the VGP Foundation1 ambitions to support nature conservation and biodiversity projects in Europe and abroad.
— The VGP Foundation will continue to engage in projects encouraging nature conservation, such as saving and creating permanent biotopes, protecting animals and their natural habitats, or educational programmes raising public awareness about respective issues
Please see sections 4.1.1.1.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process. As explained in 4.2.1.3.1 Strategy, business model and value chain and section 4.2.1.3.3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model, VGP's business model and sustainability roadmap actively integrate biodiversity considerations.
Please see sections 4.1.1.1.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (ESRS 2 IRO-1) and section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process.
The policies in place manage VGP's material impacts on biodiversity (related to the development projects and VGP's operation on its standing assets). More precisely, they are based on the four pillars of the Group's biodiversity strategy as presented in the section 4.2.2.5.1 Transition plan and consideration of biodiversity and ecosystems in strategy and business model. As GHG emissions represent the main impact of VGP on biodiversity, two climate-related policies – the Group Environmental Policy statement and the Energy Management Policy have been added in the table below.

The preliminary studies of the Group on biodiversity impact showed that, beside carbon emissions, another significant driver of biodiversity loss, according to chapter 2 of the 2019 IPBES report, is the change in land use. It also showed that real estate companies play a major role in this driver due to the urbanisation, degradation and fragmentation of land operated in greenfield projects.

VGP Park České Budějovice
In order to assert compliance with EU Taxonomy for land acquisition the Group has since 2023 aligned its due diligence procedures with EU Taxonomy. As a result, the Group aims to avoid new developments to be built on:
As a result, development projects are prioritized in brownfield sites1 and areas that have existing infrastructure, development, and urban infill as opposed to greenfield development. 100% of land acquired in 2024 was located within existing development areas.
VGP's procurement strategy is designed to comply with the following rules: fairness, focus on quality, long-term partnerships, reduced risk and the respect for applicable regulations. Sourcing criteria which are integrated in the sustainability brief for development projects is to only use 100% timber from certified, sustainably managed forests with Forest Stewardship Council ("FSC") and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification ("PEFC") certification, for both works and building structure. Als a requirement is to aim for at least 70% of waste recycling (material recovery) by weight, and clear traceability of all waste managed which will reduce the risk of landfill waste impacting biodiversity; Also in the procurement it is aimed to manage and limit noise and visual pollution, as well as the risk of soil, water and air pollution. For a full review of the sustainable procurement method and policies please refer to section 4.2.4.4.2. Sustainable procurement.
In the existing parks a total of 2.010 million square meter of green surface is managed by VGP. The Group actively protects and improves the biodiversity value of these green surfaces specifically and its assets in general by assessing biodiversity impacts and mitigation measures in accordance with BREEAM Excellent/DGNB Gold level standards, and by implementing biodiversity action plans based on the Group's Biodiversity Policy that accounts for unique local conditions. Ecologists and landscape architects are involved in design and development activities to guide architects and developers on existing ecosystems and selecting the best strategy to protect local wildlife.
Green areas and biodiversity features of existing VGP Parks are monitored and enhanced if required based on our biodiversity policy. In the course of 2024 388 additional trees were planted in existing VGP Parks.
1 Areas of land or premises that have been previously used, but have subsequently become vacant, derelict or contaminated. Brownfield sites typically require preparatory regenerative work before any new development goes ahead, and can also be partly occupied.
VGP Park Magdeburg, located in Osterweddingen, Sülzetal, demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and biodiversity conservation, aligning with EU Taxonomy objectives. The park integrates ecological measures to balance economic growth and environmental responsibility.

In 2024 16 additional biotopes were created within our parks under construction, adding to the eight biotope areas that were already created in 2023. These additional biotopes enhance or protect specific species and enhance overall local biodiversity, this brings the total biotope areas created as part of VGP Parks to 65. The total size of these biotopes created measure 570,304 sqm (compared to 548,000 sqm end of 2023).
All development projects need to implement a biodiversity action plan. This action plan should be made by a qualified ecologist or ESG specialist depending on the ecological impact, after the assessment of the characteristics of the local biodiversity. The purpose of this action plan is to first avoid and reduce all impacts of the project on the local nature, and second to implement on each project a list of Group recommendations. Some projects also undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA"), which includes an environmental/biodiversity component, as it is a prerequisite for obtaining a building permit and commercial planning permission. Biodiversity is also addressed by the development projects through the "Land Use and Ecology" section in the BREEAM (new development) certification. Within the sustainability guidelines, the Group also commits in using only certified timber (FSC, PEFC or equivalent) within its development projects.
Although nearly all our parks are certifi ed according to BREEAM or DGNB, which provides basic safeguards for restoration and protection of biodiversity, the Group developed an additional ecosystem enhancement safety measure. The implementation of this measure is driven by: the aim to align the portfolio with EU Taxonomy regulation, including the biodiversity and ecosystem protection criteria, as well as, our continuous improvement philosophy within the scope of the Group's Environmental Management System (which has been based on ISO 14001 standards1 ), and the Group's Biodiversity assessment framework (see for more information the Group Biodiversity Policy available on the Group website). As such biodiversity enhancement investments have been identifi ed in the existing portfolio and are being implemented. For those parks, specifi c measures have been suggested for each based on local tailored ecology studies. The aim is to increasing the use of "green" spaces, either through enhancing existing green structures into biotopes or through enhancements such as green roofs, green walls, green parking lots.
The categorisation is based on location of the asset from a protected area in Europe. These areas are composed of all the IUCN (management categories I to VI), Bird Life International (Key Biodiversity Areas) protection areas and areas identified by local or regional municipality as of specific ecological value. As for the creation of the biodiversity action plans, the standing assets with meaningful biodiversity impact appointed a qualified ecologist to assess the on-site biodiversity and propose an adapted action plan to preserve and improve the state of local nature. A list of recommendations has also been written by the Group as part of the biodiversity strategy and suggests actions like turning off building enhancement lights outside opening hours or creating urban meadows in the assets' green spaces.
In respect to this objective, from 2023 onwards, the actions identified within those action plans are followed in the environmental action plan of the concerned assets and 23 of the 24 meaningful biodiversity impact parks have implemented measures. In addition to the biodiversity action plan, all such parks are encouraged to raise tenants' and visitors' awareness towards biodiversity.

The Group also works across its VGP Parks to raise awareness among its stakeholders about the importance of biodiversity. The Group's BREEAM In-Use certification policy (see section 4.2.2.1.1. Details of buildings environmental certifications) ensures that biodiversity issues are well addressed and promoted to achieve high standards. Once a project has been built and delivered, the Group's operating management team, particularly the on-site teams that manage each asset, are responsible for maintaining and monitoring biodiversity. The sustainability team monitors the application of the Group's biodiversity policy and provides operating teams with the necessary support
This new 2024 commitment follows the current expectations of both public authorities and tenants to increase the amount of green spaces and initiatives in our existing parks. VGP targets to increase the level of biodiversity in all of its VGP Parks through renaturation and biodiversity initiative projects. Renaturation projects are defined as any project related to the improvement of biodiversity and biophilia in, on and outside the assets.
In the context of both its net zero targets and Group biodiversity strategy, the Group has invested in a Verra-compliant agriculture project in Denmark with the aim to remove carbon (concerning 850 tCO2 emission certificates) from the atmosphere and store it in the soil1 . Furthermore, the VGP Foundation has invested in 31 nature restoration projects for a total value of € 2.2 million
Since 2023, 16 nature projects were successfully completed, including the projects below.
| Project | Country/region Steps achieved | |
|---|---|---|
| New Networks for Eastern Imperial Eagle |
Eastern Europe | The NABU has achieved important research results and conservation success for the imperial eagle over the past 10 years. In Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, the respective national bird-life partners are active in the conservation of the imperial eagle. The exchange of experience between international experts can make an important contribution to the effective conservation of this iconic species. This project enabled a transfer of knowledge and cooperation between international experts in different regions across Eastern Europe to improve the conservation of the species in its entire range. |
| Monitoring of peatland water levels (Rotenburg, Stade) |
Germany | The project, led by NABU supported the rehabilitation of peatlands in the districts of Rotenburg and Stade in Germany. The project primarily involved the construction and operation of peatland water levels. With the help of gauges is it has been made possible to identify ecological development trends or unfavourable, creeping processes at the hydrological level at an early stage in the renaturation projects carried out so far. In addition, the recording of hydrological state variables and processes is fundamental for a holistic understanding of (disturbed) peatland ecosystems. As a result of the project in total ca. 20 water gauges in the bog protection areas were installed and are managed now by NABU. The water levels are to be continuously recorded and documented. |
| The Katra river valley Biodiversity & Tourism project |
Lithuania | The project supported measures showing the importance of this area to the wider nature-friendly public by supporting the building of a wooden watch tower linked to a wooden nature trail through the flooded forest. The site now offers a unique experience to enter and cross the old forest, which is flooded several months a year. The old Black elder alluvial forest is a home of elk, deer, and rare bird species, like tree-toed woodpecker, green woodpecker, black woodpecker, pygmy owl and tawny owl. |
| Protecting bats in church towers and public building attics as an affirmation of biodiversity values among religious and local communities |
Ukraine | In cooperation with professional ecologists, NABU developed a geography of the project expansion and create methodological materials for effective environmental education of the population in dealing with bats. In the end, 40 colonies of different species of bats and related animals were protected with the help of 10 practical protection measures. |
| Villages Go Green | Cyprus | The project offered a summer school concept where children from local villages spend the day with ÇADER, a non-profit civil society organization founded in 2005 in Northern Cyprus, while engaging in various activities such as decorating cloth shopping bags (to minimise the use of plastic ones, which represent a danger not only for local birds) or drying fruits (to offer an alternative to sweets). |
| Reorganization of Retezat Biosphere Reserve |
Romania | In order to regain biosphere reserve status for Retezat, the project reconfigured the Retezat area and provided the required documentation of the UNESCO MAB program. |
| Restoration of visitor infrastructure on the nature trail Tři iseriny |
Czech Republic | The contribution was used for restoration of the local nature trail providing material, including information signs and boards, and labour. |

The Group's environmental Management System (EMS), aims at reducing the environmental impact of our assets at every stage of their life cycle, from initial design to daily operation as well as future fungibility.

The Group has defined and monitors several indicators to manage the environmental performance of its standing assets and development projects, in line with the objectives of our ESG strategy. Some of these indicators are incorporated into the budget review processes for standing assets and development projects to ensure alignment between ESG objectives and business decisions.
VGP, through the implementation of its environmental management system and sustainability guidelines, ensures that all development projects, whatever their size or type, are designed in accordance with the Group sustainability strategy in order to manage their environmental impact. For each project, the EMS covers all 4 stages of the development process and involves several departments, notably Technical, Sustainable Buildings, Commercial, Facility Management and the local project management team:
For more information on the Group's Environmental Management System (EMS) please follow the link to VGP ESG policies and guidelines on: https://www.vgpparks.eu/en/sustainability/
From the materials sourced to construct the building to the water required for bathroom facilities and greenery, logistics and semi-industrial sites use natural resources. Predominantly, today's logistics real estate sector is designed on the linear "take-make-waste" concept. VGP wants to change this.
Since 2023, the Group adopted a Carbon Pricing and Circular Economy Framework to guide the development teams in the incorporation of circular economy design solutions in their projects. This practical framework allows the teams to better understand and apply the right circular economy solution for their projects. As part of the commitment to reduce construction carbon footprint by – 20% between 2020 and 2030, the Group focuses on the choice and use of the materials for its development projects.
In order to be compliant with the EU Taxonomy Do No Significant Harm – Transition to Circular Economy criterium the Group is transforming its approach to circular economy concepts defined by 8 principles, see also the following VGP Circular Economy chart and taking into account work conducted by ARUP for VGP in 2022 on introducing lean building material concepts in our construction sites1 .

VGP Park Olomouc
With regards to the "Continuous Material Cycles", in 2022 the Group introduced a target in-line with the applicable DNSH requirement for Construction of New Buildings under EU Taxonomy of at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste generated at site to be processed for reuse or recycled or otherwise recovered. This requires strict waste monitoring at construction sites, as well as an implementation of improvement opportunities and execute best practice activities in order to: eliminate final waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and reduce the primary material consumption. The Group is leveraging its relationships with construction materials suppliers to raise their awareness of sustainable construction and influence behaviour change towards circular economy practices. In 2024, the Group reached its target of recovering 70% of waste with in total 92.3% of the construction waste recycled at the 53% of all construction sites at which waste data was effectively monitored. In 2025, VGP will work towards more projects being monitored and continue to engage its suppliers in sustainable practices.
In 2024, the sustainability guidelines were updated in collaboration with the technical teams. The sustainability guidelines apply to new developments and extension and renovation projects Groupwide. It sets minimum requirements applicable to all projects. Requirements for all projects include, among others:
Specifically, it involves:
VGP Park Rouen in Petit-Couronne, France, is a fl agship example of VGP's approach to integrating circular economy principles into industrial real estate. Constructed on a former industrial brownfi eld site, the project demonstrates how sustainable redevelopment can contribute to resource effi ciency, waste reduction, and long-term value creation.
Rather than consuming new land, VGP Park Rouen was built on a repurposed industrial site, avoiding urban sprawl and reducing the environmental footprint. This approach aligns with EU Taxonomy goals for sustainable land use and contributes to the regeneration of underutilized assets.
A 2.5 MWp solar photovoltaic plant, currently being installed, will provide renewable energy to power the facility. The expected generation capacity is equivalent to the consumption of over 1,000 households.
The project integrates restoration of biodiversity, including 144 new trees planted, enhancing carbon sequestration, 9,000 sqm of wildflower meadows, fostering local biodiversity and habitat creation for wildlife, including hibernaculums, reinforcing ecological resilience.
VGP Park Rouen is designed with future adaptability in mind, embedding circular economy thinking into its long-term functionality including scalable office spaces and modular extensions allow for easy repurposing and reduced demand for raw materials over the building's lifecycle.

VGP Park Rouen


VGP's high quality and professionally managed buildings and parks are strategically located and designed to meet our clients' business needs and to remain resilient and adaptable to tomorrow's challenges. We collaborate with our suppliers to provide facilities that can accommodate greater automation, efficiency and the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector.
Integrated water, energy and waste networks prioritise natural systems (such as rain water for irradiation and solar energy for use in the building) and can be used more intensively as smart management flattens peaks (for example for the energy grid through installation of battery energy storage systems), making use of capacity available throughout the day.
Systems thinking ensures that material choices, energy use, water systems, and waste streams are considered together, optimizing the entire lifecycle of a building.
Since 2023 the Group uses a carbon reference pricing for the embodied carbons generated over the life cycle of a building. By pricing carbon over the entire lifecycle, the full environmental cost of the building is accounted for, not just the upfront construction phase, and as a result the carbon pricing model incentivizes to design buildings with lower long-term emissions, such as:
Since 2022 the Group's Considerate Construction Charter is applied to all greenfield/brownfield construction projects. It describes the Group's requirements and recommendations intended to optimise its worksites' environmental quality while minimising pollution for the contractors working on site, the neighbouring area and the natural environment. The Considerate Construction Charter includes requirements on (i) providing information to people living nearby and limiting traffic disruptions, (ii) managing and limiting noise and visual pollution, as well as the risk of soil, water and air pollution; and (iii) monitoring resources in order to reduce resource consumption.
The overall design of VGP parks supports resilient and thriving communities to stimulate growth, and avoid congestion and pollution. Encouraging shared infrastructure (e.g., public transport, bicycle facilities, community energy grids).
Digital technologies provide accessible platforms to facilitate the management of buildings, energy and materials.
Since 2022, the Group has a Green Office Policy in place which is focused on waste reduction opportunities based on the revised EU Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC) which sets out five steps for dealing with waste, ranked according to environmental impact – the 'waste hierarchy' – with a first and most important focus on prevention and secondly prepare for re-use. By implementing these strategies the Group is able to reduce waste of its office operations.
Since the implementation of the policy the amount of printed documents has significantly reduced, whilst paper was previously predominantly recycled, the overall waste reduction has reduced the waste production intensity significantly in-line with the waste hierarchy.
The amount of waste not recovered is including residual waste for which the incineration or recycling process has not been confirmed, as a result the current number is likely conservative. Further more precise data collection will improve this metric further.
If you can't prevent it then…
If you can't prepare for re-use, then…
If you can't recycle, then…
If you can't recover value (e.g. energy), then…

Landfill if no alternative available
The total volume of waste generated in a building, whatever its use, is mostly dependent on the type and level of activity of the tenants, i.e. packaging for logistics, redundancies in semi-industrial processes and occupancy for the office buildings. This means that the Group has a limited impact on the total volume of waste generated on its sites. Nevertheless, the Group is committed to waste management efficiency measures, such as increasing waste sorting, raising awareness among tenants, as well as assisting them to reduce the amount of waste disposed, and implementing waste management solutions.
Suitable waste segregation facilities are in place in all assets. Tenants are informed and made aware of local on-site waste management policies and processes and of the importance of sorting waste through tenants' on-site discussions or the communication of park-level waste sorting guidelines. Both supplier purchasing contracts and tenant green leases establish the minimum requirements to be met for waste monitoring and sorting and recycling in order to meet sustainability and environmental protection requirements. The waste solution providers' remits, however, extend beyond just management and reporting, also focusing heavily on tenant engagement and communications. Tenant awareness raising includes updating and adding signage on waste bins, sharing best practices, highlighting the importance of properly sorting material, and outlining the legal requirements associated with the waste management program. All the Group's Parks' Facility Managers also hold yearly meetings with their stakeholders (tenants and/ or waste treatment providers), with a detailed account of the site's waste management outcomes.
The Group's waste management responsibilities and reporting scopes are guided by specific national requirements. At some assets, local authorities are responsible for waste management; in this case the Group does not control the final destination of the waste produced at these assets. The disposal of hazardous waste falls outside the Group's legal responsibility as it is managed directly by the tenants who are responsible for it, using the appropriate disposal route.

| 4.2.2.7 Disclosures Pursuant | |

| to Article 8 of Regulation | |
| (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy | |
| Regulation) |
The EU Taxonomy introduces a unified classification system to determine the sustainability level of investments, in order to drive capital towards financing the EU environmental transition. The sustainability of a financial vehicle is determined by the share of sustainable economic activities it finances in its portfolio. Consequently, all economic activities listed in the scope of the EU Taxonomy (i.e. "eligible" activities) are to be screened for their environmental impacts, based on the environmental criteria ("Technical Screening Criteria" ("TSC")) defined in the EU Taxonomy Delegated Acts. To be considered environmentally sustainable, an economic activity has to substantially contribute to at least 1 out of the 6 following "environmental objectives", while not causing harm to the others and complying with "minimal safeguards" related social and ethical standards:
— Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems The EU Taxonomy represents an important step towards the EU's objective of becoming climate neutral by 2050. The real estate sector is considered eligible under the EU Taxonomy for climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, as well as transition to a circular economy.
| Climate change mitigation | Climate change adaptation |
|---|---|
| Sustainability and protection of water and marine resources |
Transition to circular economy |
| Pollution and prevention control |
Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems |
VGP is committed to meeting the requirements set by this new EU Taxonomy and improving its performance in the coming years to contribute to the broader EU environmental transition. As a developer and operator of assets, VGP's main eligible activities can be split into the following 3 categories:
7.1: "stand-alone" Construction of new buildings: buildings that VGP develops.
7.2: "transitional" Renovation of existing buildings: buildings that VGP redevelops exceeding "major renovation" thresholds according to local building regulations implementing Directive 2010/31/EU (works amounting to at least 25% of total asset value – excluding land – or affecting over 25% of the surface of the building envelope).
7.7: "stand-alone" Acquisition and ownership of buildings: buildings that VGP (partly) owns and operates for its own account (or on behalf of its joint ventures), including those under development or redevelopment that do not exceed "major renovation" thresholds.
In addition to the above categories, VGP purchases equipment and services in "individual measures" which are "enabling" a reduction of GHG emissions. These can be split into the following categories:
7.3: Installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment;
7.4: Installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for EVs in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings)(3);
7.5: Installation, maintenance and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy performance of buildings; and
7.6: Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies.
The chart below includes a summary of the above mentioned environmental criteria ("Technical Screening Criteria" ("TSC")) defined in the EU Taxonomy Delegated Acts for substantial contribution applied by VGP for each category of its eligible activities, across all its portfolio. The chart is based on the EPRA Guide for EU Taxonomy1 :
The "enabling" categories above are further described in the paragraph "Individual measures" of section 4.2.2.7.6 VGP share of aligned activities. The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of July 6, 2021, supplementing the EU Taxonomy specifies the scope, methodology and disclosure requirements for financial and non-financial undertakings concerning the proportion of environmentally sustainable economic activities in their business, investments or lending activities. The work done by VGP to establish its eligibility and align its KPIs is based on this regulation, and the associated methodology is presented hereafter.

As the first step of the EU Taxonomy application, companies are to determine which of their activities are "eligible", i.e. covered by the EU Taxonomy Delegated Acts. Three KPIs are disclosed to that end: the share of eligible activities in the Company's turnover, CAPEX and OPEX.

— The Delegated Regulation requires reported OPEX in the denominator to be limited to costs related to building renovation, maintenance and repair, short-term lease, and research and development. VGP's OPEX are consolidated in different categories than the ones defined in the scope of this regulation. For this reason, calculating total OPEX required a bottom-up approach that was not based on consolidated financial statements:
In order to obtain a third party verification of VGP's assets' EU Taxonomy criteria conformity, VGP has used DGNB's1 ESG verification service2 for the real estate industry. Applicable to three fields of business defined in the taxonomy – 7.1 new construction, 7.2 renovation, and 7.7 acquisition and ownership – it is based on currently applicable taxonomy criteria, although it also includes employment standards, social standards and good governance on the part of the asset manager.
In addition to proof of the building's conformity with the EU taxonomy, VGP received a report on each asset submitted to the process detailing the results and thus information on where there is still a need for improvement. The ESG verification service is offered collaboratively by the DGNB and its partners in the Climate Positive Europe Alliance (CPEA)3 . Thereby,

VGP Park Rouen
Comment on 2024 Alignment Figures Including Non-Eligible Activities
VGP's CAPEX alignment share is mainly driven by its development projects, including on assets already present in the standing portfolio. With nearly 70% of CAPEX aligned (when including projects in the process of alignment being verified)1 with the climate mitigation objectives, the Group's investments demonstrate VGP's commitment to high environment standards and the reinforcement of internal guidelines. The broadening of the screened perimeter, the update of the Energy Performance Certificates, the improvement of the energy performance of its portfolio and the benchmarks considered for the analysis in 2024 positively contributed to the increase of the share of aligned revenues. As the alignment figures of VGP's OpEx are linked to the screening of assets performed for revenues, they increased in parallel. Nevertheless, the EU Taxonomy alignment figures need to be analysed carefully in light of the applicable alignment criteria and do not necessarily reflect the absolute environmental performance of VGP's portfolio. For example on standing assets for the climate mitigation objective, as the assessment of alignment is based on relative comparisons to local regulations and benchmarks which are more stringent in some countries than in others, rather than on absolute terms of performance, some assets with a better energy intensity can be considered as "not aligned" while less performing assets are "aligned".
More information on the translation of the EU Taxonomy screening criteria to VGP's portfolio and its limitations is given in the next section.
NB: VGP has not issued any environmentally sustainable bonds with the purpose of financing EU Taxonomy-aligned activities in 2024. Therefore, VGP is not concerned by the disclosure of adjusted turnover and CAPEX KPIs reflecting such bonds.
Taxonomy alignment figures presented in the summary table below have been calculated on the basis of eligible activities. Two consolidation methodologies have been applied: assets consolidated in compliance with the IFRS accounting standards using the equity method, and assets consolidated in the proportionate methodology including also assets held in the entities owned by the joint ventures, in order to valorise the alignment of assets in VGP's portfolio that are not accounted for in the IFRS methodology as well. In this specific table, revenue lines corresponding to charges reinvoiced to the tenants (service charges income) have been excluded from numerators and denominators as they are balanced by charges in VGP accounts. All VGP activities aligned presented here below contribute substantially to the objective of climate change mitigation. VGP's revenue alignment share is both driven by its standing assets and the revenues derived from development projects on standing assets, as 19% of its eligible revenues are verified aligned with the climate change mitigation objective.

The Annexes I and II to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of June 4, 2021, and the Annex III to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 June 27, 2023, supplementing the EU Taxonomy lay down the environmental TSC to be complied with for each eligible activity to be considered aligned with the 6 objectives. These criteria are twofold: criteria for checking the substantial contribution of activities to each environmental objective, and criteria for making sure these activities DNSH to all the other environmental objectives. Since the Delegated Acts have been published, VGP teams have worked intensively to translate the regulatory criteria into applicable elements for its own operations and for all its geographical locations. EU Taxonomy-eligible activities indeed cover a very broad scope of VGP activities, but this does not presume the relevance or practicability of the TSC to be applied to all these activities. For example, many of them cannot be screened based on the current published TSC without having recourse to additional information sources (local regulation, industry benchmarks from sectorial private organisations, etc.) or using proxies. Many examples of this situation can be given such as:
Below is a summary of the TSC criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation under 7.7 Acquisition and Ownership of Buildings as published by EPRA in its EU Taxonomy alignment guide1 , applied by VGP to its existing building portfolio.
In line with the specifications outlined in FAQ 2022/C 385/01 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 of 27 June 2023, which amends Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, VGP has assessed its substantial contribution to the objective of climate change adaptation. As previously explained, VGP's primary focus for its building portfolio is compliance with the climate change mitigation criteria, and only CAPEX linked to adaptation plans aimed at mitigating the most significant physical climate risks, material to its assets has been considered eligible and aligned with the Climate Change objective.
While investments related to climate risk adaptation will be integrated into overall building CAPEX plans if and when necessary, they are not currently accounted for as a Substantial Contribution to Climate Change Adaptation. Instead, the investments are included under the Climate

Change Mitigation categorization as long as the project overall is in compliance with such criterium. As such, no CAPEX under the Climate Change Adaptation category has been reported for 2024.
Through workshops supported by external experts, VGP assessed its alignment with the circular economy section of the EU Taxonomy (3.1. Construction of new buildings). The Group undertook a comprehensive review of all the TSC and DNSH requirements for its development projects.
Currently, the availability of circular building materials and the pricing of sustainable alternatives present challenges to meeting the substantial contribution criterion within economically viable project development. As a result, no CAPEX has been reported in this category for 2024.
We will continue to monitor this criterion and reassess our ability to comply in future projects.
For an economic activity to align with the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems under the EU Taxonomy, it must ensure the maintenance of ecosystem, species, and habitat health. This includes implementing a robust management or restoration plan with guarantees of permanence and undergoing independent verification. Additionally, compliance with minimum safeguards, as outlined in Article 18 of the EU Taxonomy, is required. These safeguards set out essential principles, requirements, and guidelines to ensure responsible implementation.
As part of the Group's Biodiversity Strategy, this classification applies to significant biodiversity investments, particularly when biodiversity compensation areas are required. Currently, no CAPEX has been reported under this category, but potential investments will be assessed in the future.
Pursuant to the release of the Climate Delegated Act specifying DNSH criteria on adaptation to climate change, VGP has, in order to align its activities with EU Taxonomy criteria, updated in 2023 its climate risk assessment study covering all of the Group's standing assets and development pipeline (see section 4.2.2.2.12 Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities). In the assessment conducted as part of the EU Taxonomy verification of our buildings, the DGNB confirmed that VGP is compliant with the DNSH criteria of the EU Taxonomy. The following steps have been followed during the latest climate risk assessments:
The climate experts (external consultants) first performed a screening of the climate-related perils among the ones listed in Appendix A to the Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act to identify the ones most material to the business, based on the type of buildings, sort of activities and the geographical location of each asset. The following perils were considered: fluvial (river) and pluvial (rainfall) flooding, sea level rise, drought stress, heat stress, wild fire risks and earthquakes;
For the climate-related perils considered, the Group uses an external data base provided by Moody's Physical Risks Assessment Tool and the experts of Blue Auditor. Climate indicator values were retrieved for each asset, based on their location. The tool allows to model the evolution of such values due to climate change, according to different scenarios aligned with the latest IPCC projections (see below). The climate indicator values were then translated into an overall Climate Risk (impact/damage) Assessment score ranging from 0% to 100%; and
As a follow-up to the risk and vulnerability assessment, the Blue Auditor risk engineers have assessed the adequacy of adaptation measures already in place and at identifying new

measures to be implemented. 1 asset which was identified as encompassing material risk was disposed during 2024. Assets identified with the highest risk (located in Iberia prone to drought and extreme heat) have since been subject to additional investments in order to reduce the water dependency (also refer to section 4.2.2.2.12 Anticipated Financial Effects from Material Physical and Transition Risks and Potential Climate-Related Opportunities (ESRS E1-9)). The climate scenarios selected by the experts to perform the climate change related risk analysis up to mid-century (2050) are the SSP2-4.5 ("middle of the road") and SSP5-8.5 ("pessimistic") scenarios:
3 timeframes have been considered for the analysis, consistent with the expected lifetime of the activity and the indications of the EU Taxonomy:

For development projects classified in ownership of buildings (7.7), there are no additional applicable DNSH criteria other than the one on climate change adaptation. For refurbishments and construction of new buildings for third parties (7.1/7.2), the analysis of the compliance with DNSH criteria other than climate change adaptation has been done at project-level with 2 separated workstreams depending on the status of the project:
The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of July 6, 2021, translating Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy provides for the integration of purchased "individual measures" in CAPEX and OPEX alignment figures of non-aligned assets. Individual measures correspond to activities purchased that enable the target activities to become low carbon or to lead to GHG emissions reductions, notably activities listed in points 7.3 to 7.6 of Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act, such as the installation of solar panels on a building rooftop. As part of its ESG Strategy, VGP plans investments in all the aforementioned categories: energy efficiency equipment, charging stations for EVs in buildings, instruments for measuring and controlling energy performance of buildings, and renewable energy technologies (see section 4.2.2.2.2 Transition plan for climate change mitigation and 4.3 Green Financing of the Group Activities). Related CAPEX spent in 2024 have been isolated and one project was screened (and verified as aligned) in accordance with the TSC of Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act for substantial contribution and DNSH where applicable:
In 2024, VGP's individual measures stand for 0% of the Group CAPEX, as presented in the alignment table at the top of this section.
In addition to engaging in activities that are eligible and aligned with the EU Taxonomy based on the environmental TSC, VGP complies with the 4 aspects of the Minimum Safeguards ("MS"), as described in the Article 3 (c) and Article 18 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and further specified in the Final Report on Minimum Safeguards published in October 2022 by the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance. VGP's analysis actively considered the updated OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Regarding human rights guarantees and due diligence in its own workforce, ethics and respect for human rights are among the core values of the Group. VGP is strictly committed to upholding all fundamental individual rights and labour rights protections, as underpinned by its Human Rights Policy (see sections 4.2.3.1.2 Policies related to own workforce and 4.2.3.2.3 Policies related to value chain workers ), as well as safeguarding the H&S and the well-being of its employees through enforced internal frameworks such as a dedicated Group framework for H&S risk management, VGP's Health and Safety Statement, and the Group's Your Wellbeing framework (see sections 4.2.3.1.2 Policies related to own workforce, 4.2.3.2.3 Policies related to value chain workers and 4.2.2.3.3 Actions and resources related to pollution). VGP only operates in countries with high standards of human rights protections and the infringement of human rights in its own workforce has not been identified as a material risk factor in the Group's risk assessment (see section 4.2.1.4 Impact, Risk and Opportunity management). Yet, and as a safeguard, internal procedures are in place to anticipate, identify and prevent any infringement on employees' human rights and freedoms. These include, for instance, clear rules against any form of discrimination along with anti-harassment and anti-bullying practices including a whistleblowing hotline accessible 24/7 to all employees. The Group stands against racism, discrimination, and bias of any kind, striving to ensure that everyone feels equally welcome and embraced. These principles are clearly stated in the Group Code of Conduct applicable to all employees. The Group has a zero-tolerance principle for violations of these rules (see section Conduct and Compliance within the Renumeration Report: a daily and essential requirement)
VGP makes sure to cultivate a sound work environment in which employees thrive (see section 4.2.3.1.2 Policies related to own workforce)). The Group aims to fully embed VGP's commitment to ensure equal opportunities and greater diversity and inclusion across the business (see 4.2.3.1.3 Policies Related to Own Workforce (ESRS S1-1) section Fairness, diversity and inclusion). VGP equally cares about the protection of human rights in its value chain, and tackles this issue through the implementation of a due diligence process that identifi es sustainability risks (including health and safety, and human rights risks) across its diff erent purchasing categories (see section 4.2.3.2.3 Policies related to value chain workers). Supplier contracts require the acceptance of the Group's Supplier's Code of Conduct, including provisions on human rights and labour standards based on the International Labour Organization ("ILO") conventions and international human rights standards is in line with the principles outlined in the United Nations Global Compact ("UNGC"), the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights ("UNGP"), and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The Group has implemented robust internal mechanisms to anticipate, monitor and counter any risks of engaging in practices that could amount to corruption or bribery, such as the Group annual Compliance training including chapters on Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering, and to ensure familiarity with the Group Code of Conduct. Additionally, all employees (including part-time employees) and contractors, to the extent applicable to their mission, are trained to identify and distinguish situations that could be associated with corruption, with a clear communication of our zero-tolerance principle for any violation. For further information on the Group's policies and commitments against corruption, bribery and fraud, please refer to section Conduct and Compliance within the Renumeration Report.
The business strategy of VGP consists of creating value with its real estate portfolio over the long term. The tax policy of the Group is completely integrated into this long-term plan and is consistent with the normal course of its business operations. In 2024, the Group operated 113 VGP Parks, consisting of 276 buildings in 15 different countries. The Group does not use investment routes through non-cooperative countries or territories to locate income in low tax jurisdictions. The Group complies with the spirit and the letter of tax law and regulations. The Group's tax policy, VGP's Approach to Tax, which is published on its website, describes the principles governing VGP's approach to tax and the processes in place to ensure efficiency of these principles. In essence, the tax position of VGP reflects the geographical location of its real estate portfolio and is consistent with the normal course of its business operations. The tax strategy and tax risks are followed and monitored by a team of internal and external experts including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Group's auditors, the Group's Audit Committee and the Group's Board of Directors. The aim of the Group is to operate the business with low levels of tax risks. This is being done by ensuring that the tax consequences of arrangements entered into are being understood, including the way those arrangements will likely be viewed by relevant tax authorities. Only arrangements that are considered as acceptable to the relevant tax authorities are implemented. VGP complies with tax transparency regulations such as the European DAC 6 (Directive on Administrative Cooperation, as amended for the sixth time) and files its fiscal Country-by Country Report with the Belgium tax authorities.
VGP is a publicly traded Group dedicated to investing in logistic and semi-industrial real estate across Europe. Many countries have adopted laws on local tax transparency to encourage longterm investment in real estate. Based on the tax transparency regimes, the profits made are taxed at the shareholder level directly, instead of at the level of the Group.
The tax position of VGP reflects the geographical location of its activities. The Group declares profits and pays taxes where its activities are carried out. This translates into payments to local or national tax authorities of corporate income tax, business taxes and taxes withheld on dividend payments.
VGP Park Córdoba

The Group's tax position mirrors the location of its investments. Considering its € 7.8 Bn portfolio and the fact that holding real estate assets requires it to pay property taxes, VGP pays significant amounts of taxes. Significant tax payments are also made to local authorities upon investment and divestment transactions, although this will vary as it depends on the number and size of transactions completed during a particular year. In addition, VGP and its tenants in the Group's business parks typically pay taxes locally and employ many people locally who contribute significant amounts in taxes and social charges. In 2024, on a proportionate basis, the subsidiaries of the VGP Group paid € 32 million of local taxes and social contributions. The below geographic breakdown does not include income taxes, which are reported in note 11 Taxation in section 3 Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group implements policies to anticipate and avoid engaging in any practice that could amount to a violation of fair competition and antitrust regulations (See section Legal and Compliance as part of the Renumeration Report). Most exposed employees are educated in and are expected to comply with all competition and anti-trust laws as well as internal policies such as the Code of Conduct. Potential anti-trust violations and competition-related risks are identified through a dedicated process involving legal and compliance teams before and during any acquisition procedure of an asset. VGP fully cooperates with local authorities to preserve market integrity.
VGP has developed an internal tracking methodology to scan news outlets and relevant platforms to identify whether the Group is involved in any ongoing litigation or proceeding. VGP has not been convicted for any human rights or modern slavery violations. None of the OECD National Contact Points ("NCP") received a referral concerning VGP, and the Group was not identified in any allegation on the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre's ("BHRRC") website. VGP has not been assigned or convicted for any offence related anti-trust regulations or corruption. VGP has never been found guilty of tax evasion in any of the countries it operates in.
To understand how VGP actively considers the views of its stakeholders through a multifaceted dialogue with them, please see sections 4.2.1.3.1 Strategy, business model and value chain and 4.2.1.2.5 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model.
Please see sections 4.1.1.1.1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process. As explained in section Strategy of the Chapter Company Report 2024 and section 4.2.1.3.3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (ESRS 2 SBM-3), VGP recognises that its workforce is a key asset and the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with it are closely linked to the Company's strategy and business model. For more information on the components of the Group's workforce, please refer to section 4.2.3.1.8 Characteristics of the undertaking's employees (ESRS S1-6). For more information on VGP's limited exposure to1 and policies to prevent child labour and forced labour in its operations, including its workforce, please refer to the sub-section "Modern Slavery" in section 4.2.3.2.6 Taking action on material impacts on value chain workers, and approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to value chain workers, and effectiveness of those actions.

The Group affirms an unwavering commitment to ethical business practices through the introduction of a comprehensive Social Policy. This framework embodies dedication to human rights, responsible labour practices, and the creation of a workplace that champions diversity, inclusion and safety. By adopting and implementing these principles, VGP not only meets but exceeds the expectations of stakeholders and contributes to positive societal change.
As expressed in its Human Rights Policy and its Health and Safety Statement, VGP is committed to upholding the highest standards of human rights and labour rights protections, as well as safeguarding the H&S and well-being of its employees through internal frameworks, ensuring that every individual within VGP's own operations and supply chain is treated with respect. VGP complies with the core conventions and labour standards set by the ILO and is aligned with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, setting the standard for responsible business conduct and respect for human rights in the Group's global operations. The Group only operates in countries where social regulations are well developed through democratic frameworks. Internally, specific frameworks set up by the Group define and manage additional rules that reinforce employee rights and endorse respect and ethical conduct in business dealings (Code of Conduct, etc.). Although the infringement of human rights in its own workforce has not been identified as a material risk factor in the Group's risk assessment (see section Risk factors), internal procedures are in place to anticipate, identify and prevent any infringement on employees' human rights and freedoms. These include, for instance, clear rules against any form of discrimination along with anti-harassment and anti-bullying practices including a whistleblowing hotline, the VGP Compliance HotLine, accessible 24/7 to all employees and stakeholders (see section 4.2.3.1.6 Taking action on material impacts on own workforce, and approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to own workforce, and effectiveness of those actions). Since 2022, VGP has been a member of the UNGC, which promotes

ethical conduct and fundamental moral values in business. VGP strives to adopt, support and apply in its sphere of influence the 10 principles of the UNGC concerning human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Regular disclosure and continuous improvement efforts across the Group's supply chain demonstrate indeed VGP's dedication to transparency and ethical labour practices.
As explained in the Group Health & Safety Statement, the health and safety of all employees and any other persons who may be directly affected by the Group's activities. H&S is prioritised and integrated into the Company's planning and operations. To this end, VGP continually strives to promote a culture of wellness, achieve regulatory compliance and improve existing practices. VGP's commitment to H&S is reflected in various initiatives including the access to physical and mental wellness programmes and healthcare resources for employees, as well as information and training to empower and educate employees at all levels regarding H&S. More targeted measures also exist at local levels, such as occupational health (medical examinations of employees in accordance with legal requirements) and an anonymous and free psychological helpline.
The Group stands for a fair overall outcome that rewards individual and collective performance and does not discriminate on race, gender, nationality or any other personal criteria. Diversity and inclusion forms a key part of the Group's ESG Strategy roadmap. With representation in 17 European countries, VGP welcomes employees from different parts of the world, from diverse cultures and backgrounds to build successful and inclusive teams. VGP commits to ensuring full equal opportunities in HR practices and processes Group-wide. Specifically focused on recruitment, the Group has, in addition to its Diversity Policy a VGP Equal Opportunity Statement as reference for recruitment practices, compensation and benefits, talent reviews, and learning and development. The VGP Equal Opportunity Statement ensures that the HR policy and processes are applied without discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age, disability, national or ethnic origin, military service status, citizenship, or other protected characteristics. The VGP Equal Opportunity Statement is part of the Diversity Policy framework and combined it aims to fully embed the Group's commitment to drive even greater diversity and inclusion across the business and focuses on 4 key areas:
The Group's Diversity & Inclusion framework – VGP Diversity Policy – is embedded through the Code of Conduct as well as

The VGP Academy enhances the attractiveness of the Group to newcomers and is an efficient onboarding and learning path for newcomers. The VGP Academy allows recent newcomers to discover VGP's unique approach to semi-industrial and logistics real estate.
In 2024, 43 newcomers joined the VGP Academy onboarding session. 3 webinar sessions have been organised with the VGP Academy during the year on sustainability. Other student events
Trainings are regularly organised to reinforce the Group's ESG Strategy roadmap and sustainability processes, and to empower and encourage employees to deliver sustainable actions. The sustainability ambition of the Group is embedded in the new joiners program, including the VGP onboarding presentation. The onboarding path includes sustainability and governance workshops; this curriculum continues to be deployed to all newcomers across the Group. In addition, dedicated technical training is offered to all relevant staff members, covering topics such as sustainable consumption, carbon neutrality and sustainable development. In October 2024, VGP hosted a Technical Symposium for the Group's senior technical manager population. This full 2-day program focused on sustainability and included a deep-dive into VGP's ESG Strategy roadmap, with a focus on certification, health&safety and carbon neutrality.
This year, 56% of Group employees took part in a sustainability training including 100% of management.
Next to already 4 other beehives at our Spanish parks, another bee project has been inaugurated at VGP Park Valencia Cheste. On top of that, a honey collection event has been organised for the existing beehive at VGP Park Granollers. Assisted by a bee professional from Aristeu, our Spanish colleagues gathered to learn more about bees and the honey collection process.
These bee initiatives are part of the activities of our VGP Foundation and demonstrate our commitment to contribute to the local biodiversity in the area of our parks.
Thanks to Aristeu.org for the great collaboration on these projects!

The VGP Community Day program offers all employees the opportunity to actively engage in social initiatives developed by the Group, including assisting local people facing barriers to the job market by supporting local non-profits through VGP Community Days and local partnership activities. The Group has committed to 80% of Group employees taking part in the VGP Volunteering Programme annually. The Group's community-oriented activities in 2024 were focused on building stronger communities through strengthening social inclusion, as well as boosting biodiversity in communities around VGP Parks. The VGP Community Days continued to be supported by the commitment of Group employees. In 2024, 162 employees, more than 39% of total, volunteered to support local communities where the Group operates. This represents 1,296 volunteering hours delivered by VGP employees. During the year, regional teams also dedicated time to climate change awareness workshops to help propel an even greater positive impact in the countries and communities where VGP operates (see section 4.2.3.1.3 Policies Related to Own Workforce (ESRS S1-1) section Sustainability training and education). In addition to volunteering, during the year philanthropic initiatives were supported through the VGP Foundation, including supporting the most vulnerable communities. More information on the results of these initiatives is included in sub-section Inspiring our people on sustainability topics in section 4.2.3.1.3 Policies related to own workforce (ESRS S1-1).
The Group Travel Policy aims to reduce its associated carbon footprint. Employees are encouraged to travel by train when possible and give preference to videoconferencing rather than physical meetings involving travel.
The Group implements Work Greener programs across the countries in which it operates. The aim of the program is to enhance awareness and off er tools to reduce the environmental impact of their day-to-day work. The program enables employees to make VGP offi ces more sustainable and environmentally friendly, implementing eco-friendly initiatives such as tackling waste management, promoting responsible consumption, or sustainable mobility. Initiatives from the program to date have resulted in:
— High-quality bicycle facilities with lockers and showers available for employees in some country offices.
VGP's commitment to fair wages and safe working conditions, expressed in its Human Rights Policy and its Health and Safety Statement, aligns with the Group ESG Strategy roadmap, ensuring the well-being of its global workforce. Employee well-being is a key part of the ESG Strategy roadmap and Group people strategy. VGP works to support a healthy working environment with a structured focus on well-being to help employees thrive. The Group is implementing well-being programs both at the country level as well as Group level.
— In 2024, the Group employee survey indicated that 98% of employees feel Mentally safe at work, 100% of employees
Various Community day activities across Europe



feel physically safe at work and 89% indicated to be satisfied with the current health and wellbeing initiatives.
The VGP Academy pursues its commitment to creating stimulating learning experiences to help employees better understand certain topics, broaden their interests, while further contributing to the Company's sustainability goals. The learning and development journey at VGP is present at every level, promoting continuous learning from new starters to most senior leaders. The newcomer onboarding program provides hands-on experience to new employees with a comprehensive understanding of the Group's business while connecting new starters with key leaders. One session was organized in 2024, welcoming 43 newcomers from every country and department during presentations.
As creating an inclusive workplace for all employees is a key priority for the Group, VGP continues to make diversity and inclusion training a central tenet of its people development approach, including its new joiners program. In 2024, 157 employees participated in the "Supporting Inclusion at VGP" through online sessions as well as through a visit of the Group compliance officer to each of VGP's country offices for dedicated compliance sessions.
A focus is Sustainability. The Group continued to raise awareness about climate change. To date, 226 employees were trained from all countries, including all top managers.
Internal mobility gives employees a more in-depth understanding of the Group's various activities and priorities. International connectivity and mobility also helps employees to build and consolidate networks and share best practices among the various regions.
In 2024, 4% of employees experienced career growth through promotions, with others expanding their roles and responsibilities.
The Group has committed to 100% of employees to have at least one annual sustainability objective to help make all employees

accountable for the collective success of the sustainability ambition. In 2024, 72% of Group employees had at least one sustainability-related objective; integrated as part of the objectives used to determine their annual Short-Term Incentive. Appropriate initiatives and targets aligned with the Group ESG Strategy were identified in close cooperation with each department within the Group: Development, Asset Management, Finance, Facility management, Commercial and Leasing, Legal and Compliance. A toolkit with key examples of general and functional sustainability targets is shared with VGP employees Group-wide.
The Appraisal Program aims at fostering regular feedback within the Company and encouraging self-development and objective thinking. The goal of the program is that every employee can benefit from the evaluation of their annual performance by their direct manager and receive feedback. 57% employees have been reviewed within the Appraisal Program at the end of 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, 8.2% of employees were covered by a collective agreement.
To get employee feedback, the Group Employee Survey is a valuable tool for VGP to gauge the sentiment of its employees and identify areas for improvement. 79% of employees participated in the survey in 2024, providing feedback on various topics such as well-being support and improving ways of working. The survey results are analysed to identify trends and areas of concern. For example, if the survey results indicate a decrease in employee well-being, VGP can investigate the causes and implement corrective actions. The positive sentiment toward well-being initiatives, mental and physical wellbeing remained stable at VGP from 2023 to 2024 (Wellbeing initiatives (2023) 90% (2024) 89%, Physical safety: (2023) 99% (2024) 100%, Mental safety:(2023) 97% (2024) 98%. This indicates that the actions taken by VGP in response to previous survey results have prevented deterioration of these scores. This continuous feedback loop allows VGP to continually adapt and improve its approach to employee well-being. In this way, the Employee Survey serves as one of the key instruments for VGP to adopt corrective actions and enhance its well-being approach for its employees. It ensures that the voices of employees are heard and that their feedback is actively considered for the improvement of the workplace.
Through its Code of Conduct, VGP is committed to strong ethical core values when it comes to how the Group conducts its day-to-day business in an ethical, transparent and fair manner. The Group has a "zero tolerance" principle against all forms of unethical practices, such as inappropriate, disrespectful or unlawful behaviour, harassment, discrimination, corruption, bribery, influence peddling and human rights violations. The Group's compliance policies and procedures are founded on a risk-based approach, in line with the industry and operational compliance risks. Procedures are put in place to guide VGP's employees in the implementation of the policies. At VGP, every employee is an ambassador of ethics and compliance values and rules. The promotion of compliance awareness through a "tone from the top" is an approach followed by the senior leadership as an acknowledgement of the important role of ethics and compliance in the Group business and to the collective commitment to do the right thing.
A Diversity Policy has been promoted throughout the Group since 2022 to fight all forms of discrimination and harassment. In line with The Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law, VGP encourages employees and third parties for openness and transparency and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns, even if they turn out to be mistaken. VGP is committed to ensuring that reporters do not suffer retaliation and that no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting their suspicion that an offence is or may be taking place in any part of VGP business or in any of its supply chains or with any of its third parties. Internal procedures are in place to anticipate, identify and prevent any infringement on employees' human rights and freedoms. These include, for instance, clear rules against any form of discrimination along with anti-harassment and anti-bullying practices including a whistleblowing hotline accessible 24/7 to all employees. All employees and contractors are invited to report cases or suspicions of criminal activity, violations of national and international laws, any serious threat or harm to the general interest of VGP, or breaches of the Group Code of Conduct or other internal policies, by using the Group's whistleblowing platform, the Compliance HotLine. The platform is hosted by an external provider and is available 24/7 from any location worldwide in all spoken languages within the Group (https://vgp.speakup.report/en-GB/compliance/home)
The whistleblowing platform allows anonymous reporting and ensures strict confidentiality of the identity of the reporter. The Group policy is to guarantee to not discipline, discriminate or retaliate against any employee or other person who in good faith reports information related to a violation. The Group Whistleblowing Policy has been developed to comply with applicable data protection regulation in the relevant jurisdictions. In line with its Health and Safety Statement, in cases where a nearmiss or an accident took place, VGP has established communication channels to enable employees to report issues and seek remedial action when a near miss or accident has occurred. VGP ensures open access to report accidents, near misses, and potential breaches, as well as the relevant protocols for investigation and appropriate remedial action to the local H&S Correspondent, relevant Technical Director, or Country Manager. Furthermore, any near miss will be investigated in the same way as an actual accident. Each accident investigation will be conducted in four steps: Information gathering, description of the accident occurrence, search for causes, and possible countermeasures to prevent recurrence.
VGP's workforce have access to communication channels with their local teams and their managers. However, the backbone of VGP's grievance mechanism is the Compliance HotLine, as it provides a guarantee of confi dentiality and the option to remain anonymous. The process for handling events reported through the VGP Compliance HotLine is explained in sections Conduct and compliance in the Renumeration Report and 4.2.4.3.1 Anti-Corruption Program. In 2024, no major events were reported through the VGP Compliance HotLine on matters regarding VGP's workforce. This is a testament to VGP's commitment to maintaining a high standard of integrity and ethical conduct in its operation, specifi cally in addressing any material negative impact on employees. For more information on the Compliance HotLine, please refer to the 4.2.4.3.2. "Whistleblowing platform: VGP Compliance HotLine".

VGP provides a decent salary to enable employees to fulfil their essential and social needs without feeling excluded. This implies affording necessity goods and services (food, housing, health care, clothing) but also education, transport, leisure and savings. VGP trusts local management and human resources representatives who are fully aware of local economic and legal context to determine as fairly as possible what a decent salary means. The VGP remuneration policy is defined at Group level, considering the specificities of local markets. It is designed to encourage individual achievements and contribution to collective results, supporting the long-term growth of the Group.
The Group ensures VGP remuneration competitiveness against relevant markets.

Fixed salaries and STI are decided at year end for all employees. Every decision carefully balances the role, seniority, performance and contribution to Group initiatives and the Group's values. The Group assesses achievements, as well as how they are carried out. VGP's remuneration policy is applied consistently, through a comprehensive process, with no compensation decision taken by only one person. Once a year, a review provides employees and managers with feedback on their strengths, development areas, training needs and career planning. Employees also have the opportunity to discuss contributions made to Group initiatives and projects outside their direct scope of responsibility.
All VGP employees are covered by social protection through public programs or through benefits offered by the Group against loss of income due to any of the following major life events: sickness, unemployment starting from when the own worker is working for the Group, employment injury and acquired disability, parental leave and retirement.

| Pay Gap | 42% | 37% |
The Group unadjusted gender pay gap, calculated as the difference between average male and average female hourly salary, expressed as a percentage of the average male hourly salary, is 37%. This pay gap is largely due to a higher proportion of males at senior levels and females at support and operational levels. With the progress towards promoting and hiring senior females, as well as the remuneration policy in place, the Group is confident that the unadjusted gender pay gap will keep reducing in the years ahead

In 2024, there have been no incidents, complaints or severe human rights impacts within VGP's operations and workforce. VGP will strive to continuously strengthen its internal prevention and mechanisms and commitment to human rights. The Group operates across the European Union, Serbia and has recently started activities in the UK, which offer strict human rights protections. These jurisdictions have stringent regulations and standards that the Group adheres to, ensuring the rights of all individuals involved in its operations are respected and protected. VGP's proactive approach and adherence to these high standards, complemented by VGP's Human Rights Policy, have enabled the Group to maintain a robust human rights record.
In the operational ecosystem of VGP, value-chain workers play a pivotal role. These individuals encompass the workforce of VGP's direct suppliers and, to a lesser extent, the employees of the tenants' operations within VGP Parks. Their roles are diverse and span across various stages of VGP's operations, from the construction phase to the maintenance stage. In line with VGP's Modern Slavery Statement and human rights approach, VGP is committed to the elimination of any instance of forced or child labour within its supply chain. VGP believes in upholding the dignity of labour and strictly adheres to the principles of human rights. The interests identifi ed for the workers in VGP's value chain are multi-faceted. They include not only the provision of fair working conditions but also the deployment of health and safety measures. While the involvement of value-chain workers in VGP's operations might be indirect, their contribution to VGP's success is direct and signifi cant. Therefore, VGP strives to ensure their rights and interests are always protected and respected. For more information on VGP's approach towards its suppliers and business partners, including their employees, please refer to section 4.2.4.4. Management of relationships with suppliers
Please see sections 4.2.1.4.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and section Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identifi cation process. As explained in 4.2.1.3.1. Strategy, business model and value chain and section 4.2.1.2.5 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model, VGP interacts with a diverse range of value chain workers. These workers can be categorised as follows:
VGP is committed to protecting human rights, health, safety and the prevention of modern slavery in its value chain. To strengthen its approach to responsible procurement, VGP established a mapping of sustainability-related risks in its supply chain in 2024. This mapping allows VGP to understand and identify key risks related to sustainability in its upstream value chain and allows the Group to define and implement action plans to manage these risks. The mapping has involved key representatives of functions with high procurement volumes (such as development teams or technical teams) as well as Group Legal and Compliance. The mapping covers 12 key procurement categories under 11 risk categories (resources consumption, pollution, waste generation, climate change, biodiversity, illegal/forced work, discrimination/harassment, working time/salary, health and safety, data protection and corruption), with distinction between countries. Supply chain risk is mitigated through:
VGP is committed to managing material impacts, risks and opportunities related to value chain workers through a set of complementary policies (see section 4.2.3.2.3. Policies related to value chain workers). The Group's approach to risk assessment and due diligence is based on the evaluation of any violations with respect to corruption, human trafficking and modern slavery. Any red flags identified are escalated with the Compliance department. Internal Audit is regularly evaluating the correct application of General Purchasing Conditions, and to the extent applicable, of the Suppliers' Code of Conduct, in contracts and the due diligence carried out on providers. As for geographies, VGP operates in 18 countries in Europe. Each of these countries has its own unique labour laws and regulations, and VGP is committed to complying with all local laws and standards in its operations. VGP's policies related to value chain workers ensure that beyond complying with laws and regulations, the Group strives to guarantee the human rights and the prevention of any instance of forced labour and child labour. The raw materials and commodities involved in VGP's operations primarily relate to the real estate sector, predominantly construction materials for building, and goods processed within VGP Parks. Please see the results of VGP's double materiality analysis in section 4.1.1.1 Impact, risk and opportunity management, as well as section 4.2.2.6.1 Policies related to resource use and circular economy.
VGP's approach to value chain workers is embodied in an interconnected set of policies on human rights, modern slavery, responsible procurement, and Health & Safety, reflecting VGP's commitment to uphold its standards in these areas.
The Group recognises that its operations can have direct and indirect impacts on human rights and remains committed to make all reasonable endeavours in anticipating and mitigating risks as well as ensuring a positive contribution to the communities where VGP operates. VGP's Human Rights Policy (see the latest version on VGP's website) reinforced the commitment adopted in 2022 by signing the UNGC. It applies to all employees, entities and operations under the umbrella of VGP, including subsidiaries and joint ventures. Contractors, clients, visitors, suppliers and business partners are to be fairly treated in line with the principles of the policy. The Group is dedicated to upholding human rights principles throughout its supply chain from corporate headquarters to individual project sites, ensuring consistency and alignment with its core values.
The policy is based on and aligned with international human rights texts and principles1 . To ensure the protection of human rights in its value chain, VGP tackles the issue through complementary due diligence mechanisms that contribute to the identification of sustainability risks (including social and human rights risks) across its different purchasing categories and when necessary, addresses them with corrective actions. For example, main tenders are subject to a "Know Your Partner" screening process, and all contracts require the acceptance of the Group's General Purchasing Conditions, including the Group Supplier Code of Conduct with provisions on human rights and labour standards based on the ILO conventions and international human rights standards. The Group aims to maintain vigilance to identify, prevent, mitigate and remedy any human rights impact in its supply chain.
Although, as noted in the Global Slavery Index's findings, the countries in which the VGP Group currently operates are rated as low to moderate in terms of the risks of incidences of modern slavery (relative to other geographies), VGP's Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy outlines a zero-tolerance approach to all modern forms of slavery and human trafficking, reflecting VGP's commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships. VGP aims at taking steps to identify, understand and address the risks of forced labour and human trafficking in all its operations and supply chains as well as raising awareness with business partners and undertaking such due diligence as is necessary on its supply chain. The Group makes all reasonable endeavours to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to mitigate the occurrences of forced labour and human trafficking anywhere in VGP's business or in any of its supply chains. Standard supply contracts used by VGP include provisions which are specifically targeted at combatting the risk of all modern forms of slavery and human trafficking taking place in VGP's supply chain. In addition to the clauses that are mandated by the Group Supplier's Code of

VGP Park Riga
Conduct (as discussed in section 4.2.4.4. Management of relationships with suppliers), standard corporate contracts also include clauses that may require a bidder to report any concerns or offenses via VGP's Compliance HotLine, which is referenced in all contracts between VGP and its goods and services providers. More detailed information can be found in VGP's Modern Slavery Statements, on its institutional website.
VGP's Supplier Code of Conduct is a key component of VGP's approach to responsible procurement. It aims at leveraging opportunities and reinforcing risk mitigation related to procurement of products and services. The Supplier's Code of Conduct is meant to be shared with all suppliers and is complemented by other actions depending on the purchasing categories. It helps VGP to ensure that the Group's suppliers adhere to the same high standards in terms of human rights and modern slavery, in direct reference to applicable international human rights texts and principles. In addition to the principles set forth on human rights and labour standards, the Code addresses the topics of ethics and business integrity as well as environmental standards and performance. It also provides external stakeholders in the value chain open and direct access to the Group's key grievance mechanism in the form of the Compliance HotLine, clearly stating that the whistleblowing policy of the Group ensures that VGP will not discriminate or retaliate against any supplier or any person who reports alleged violations of applicable laws in good faith and with appropriate precision, whether or not such information is ultimately proven to be correct, or who cooperates in any investigation or inquiry regarding such violations. The whistleblower will not be retaliated against and will benefit from the applicable local regulation regarding protection of whistleblowers.
The construction contractors overseen by the Construction Management Contractor are contractually required to make the necessary provisions for site safety and comply with the relevant
1 The International Bill of Human Rights (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), the UNGC, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UNGP, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the ILO Fundamental Conventions, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN WEPs, the Standards of Conduct for Businesses, as well as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
H&S legislation. The Management Contractor's teams develop the technical requirements provided to contractors within the tendering process. These include specific safety requirements, as well as the applicable H&S standards a successful bidder must comply with. Tender submissions that do not comply with the technical requirements and the applicable H&S standards are disqualified from the tendering process. During the construction phase, site H&S and security is continuously monitored by the Management Contractor's teams. H&S Coordinators are appointed in various countries where the Group is active. They are employed by the Construction Manager, with a principal function to coordinate H&S matters between the various stakeholders.
VGP occasionally uses communication and training sessions to engage with its value chain workers. These sessions aim to inform the workers about the impacts of their actions and decisions on the environment, society and the business. For instance, VGP systematically seeks the validation of the right to work of employees, workers on the Group's construction sites, where applicable. In line with the policies presented in section 4.2.3.2.3 Policies related to value chain workers, VGP engages its business partners and vendors to fight any occurrence of modern slavery, human rights infringements, or H&S issues that might impact value chain workers or their communities. VGP also employs feedback mechanisms to allow value chain workers to express their concerns and suggestions regarding the impacts of their work. The main feedback mechanisms is the direct access to VGP's grievance mechanism, the VGP Compliance HotLine, as well as an access to the relevant teams managing construction sites.
The Group's Risk Management framework covers compliance with human rights for workers in the value chain. As outlined in VGP's Human Rights Policy, human rights risks are captured in the annual Group risk assessment. The purpose of VGP's human rights due diligence is to ensure that VGP effectively identifies, assesses and addresses potential human rights risks and impacts associated with its operations, when deemed necessary and material through a risk assessment. It aims to align with international standards to promote respect for human rights and uphold the Group's corporate responsibility. The Group's annual risk reviews address human rights impacts particularly through human resources and compliance risks. VGP strives to conduct a materiality analysis covering all the Group's operations and potential human rights impacts, considering local laws, regulations and socio-political conditions. Upon identifying potential human rights risks and impacts associated with its activities, supply chain and business relationships, VGP will make reasonable endeavours to implement corrective actions. Additionally, the Suppliers' Code of Conduct outlines the Group's expectations towards its suppliers on sustainability and human rights matters, and it reiterates the complete access of suppliers and their workers to the VGP's Compliance Hot-Line. This grievance mechanism provides a confidential channel for employees and all external stakeholders to report any concerns or breaches of the Code of Conduct, VGP's policies, as well as any applicable legislation. This ensures that any negative impacts can be promptly identified and addressed by the relevant teams.
4.2.3.2.6 Taking Action on Material Impacts on Value Chain Workers, and Approaches to Managing Material Risks and Pursuing Material Opportunities Related to Value Chain Workers, and Eff ectiveness of Those Actions (ESRS S2-4)
The Group is committed to continuous improvement and is always looking for ways to enhance existing practices and deliver better outcomes for value chain workers. The Group's approach to identifying what action is needed in response to a particular actual or potential material negative impact is part of the Group's risk assessment process and based on the results of the double materiality analysis. This process included consultation with stakeholders, analysis of industry trends and consideration of regulatory requirements. H&S and the protection of value chain workers' human rights, including the identification and prevention of any instance of modern slavery in the Company's value chain, stand as the priorities identified.
The Human Rights Policy provides a framework for identifying, preventing and addressing potential human rights abuses. By clearly defining acceptable practices and behaviours, it helps ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect, irrespective of their role in the value chain. Moreover, it establishes accountability measures, ensuring that any violations are promptly addressed and remedied. The Suppliers' Code of Conduct contributes to safeguarding the rights of value chain workers.
Although the countries in which the Group currently operates are rated as low to moderate in terms of the risks of incidences of modern slavery (relative to other geographies), the prevalence of overseas workers in the construction industry generally and the sourcing of materials and equipment from higher risk global areas makes VGP more susceptible to crimes of modern slavery, servitude, forced labour, deceptive recruiting for labour or services, traffi cking of persons and children, and other similar off ences occurring in its business and supply chains. The Group aims to maintain an adequate level of vigilance to identify, prevent, mitigate and remedy any human rights impact in its supply chain.
On top of its prevention and mitigation mechanisms to guarantee the health and safety of value chain workers within the Group's areas of control, VGP released a Health and Safety Statement in 2024. Please refer to section 4.2.3.2.3. Policies related to value chain workers, for more detailed information.
VGP will strive to strengthen its existing policies and underlying mechanisms. These policies will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain effective and relevant. VGP will strive to maintain its due diligence mechanisms with a focus on modern slavery and human rights aspects, as well as reinforce its "Know Your Partner" screening process to conduct thorough verification of new business partners and monitor current business partners. This will help in identifying and mitigating any potential risks.
Communities affected by VGP are defined in the context of VGP's activity, i.e. as an operator in real estate. In the context of VGP, affected communities are the local communities of which VGP's assets are an integral part. As an operator of sustainable business parks, VGP has an active role to play within communities in which it operates. The Group's economic success is based on a strong relationship and regular consultations with its stakeholders: tenants, customers, investors, local communities, suppliers and contractors, as well as employees.
VGP is committed to integrating local communities into its operating model for both development projects and standing assets.
In terms of development projects, VGP has a significant pipeline of projects used for semi-industrial or logistics purposes, such as VGP Park Rouen and VGP Park Ústi nad Labem City. These projects are designed to revitalize brownfield sites and provide businesses with eco-efficient premises complying to industry-leading sustainability standards. By doing so, VGP not only enhances the built environment but also contributes to the vitality and sustainability of local communities.
For standing assets, VGP engages with a variety of local stakeholders in its approach to generating a positive social impact. Community resilience is a complex, multifaceted concept that involves preparedness against hazards, protection against risks, and the promotion of stable and prosperous communities. VGP's strategy is designed at asset level to contribute to the long-term development of the community. These plans are integrated into the management of VGP's standing assets, ensuring that the interests of local communities and stakeholders are all considered. In terms of social impact, VGP is committed to monitoring and improving its influence on a local scale. By measuring its social impact, VGP strives to understand the aggregate impacts of its work and collaborate with local communities to achieve greater change. This process is crucial for VGP to ensure that its operations are not only profitable but also beneficial to the communities in which it operates.
Moreover, VGP's commitment to sustainability, as demonstrated by its ESG Strategy roadmap, further underscores its dedication to community integration. By setting ambitious environmental goals (please refer to section 4.1 ESG Strategy roadmap for more detailed information on VGP's sustainability targets), VGP ensures that its operations and developments are not only profi table but also benefi cial to the communities in which it operates.
Logistics real estate can have a signifi cant positive impact on the surrounding community. VGP's business strategy is to build, own and operate logistics facilities close to urban centres. This shortens delivery routes, reduces delivery times and reduces related emissions. VGP's clients and our clients' customers (both business and residential) benefi t from next-day or even same-day delivery of the goods and services they need. Additional benefi ts include plentiful logistics jobs, shorter commute times for logistics workers, reclamation and remediation of abandoned or brownfi eld sites and even enhancement of local parks and transportation. Based on our understanding of employment generated in our parks as of December 2024 circa 37,000 people go to work under VGP roofs each day (versus c.30,000 in December 2023 and c.25,000 in December 2022). Based on Oxford Economics peer reports the likely direct and indirect impact is closer to 120,000 jobs. VGP also aims to help the local community benefi t from such job creation, including through internship programs.
In the context of VGP, aff ected communities are the local communities of which VGP's assets are an integral part. In line with EU Taxonomy minimum safeguards and OECD guidelines for Enterprises, VGP aims to encourage local economic development through close cooperation with the local community, including business interests, as well as activities consistent with the need for sound commercial practice. A recent JPI Urban Europe study called "Cities of Making" identifi ed, among 10 other "needs" for local communities, the "need" for city business parks to off er "a suitable mix of unit sizes for a diverse range of business types in according to the phases of their development"1 . Whereas urban logistics service sectors are typically dominated by multinational players, a high proportion of manufacturers are SME (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises), businesses employing fewer than 250 people, or micro-businesses, employing fewer than 11. A signifi cant number of these smaller businesses depend on the local market for a large part of their income and play an important role within their local communities. By off ering smaller spaces available for rent in our parks, VGP can help support diversity in the local economic framework by supporting businesses of various sizes and fi nancial means to fi nd their place. Our ability to off er smaller working units in our business parks within city limits, albeit at a small scale, will further support this eff ort. The Group has identifi ed several VGP Parks under development as potential locations for such smaller units, amongst other in our parks in Wiesloch, Velizy and České Budějovice.
In addition to the abovementioned specifi c activity, please see sections 4.2.1.4.1. Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and section 4.2.1.2.5. Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identifi cation process. As explained in 4.2.1.3.1. Strategy, business model and value chain and section 4.2.1.3.3. Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model, as the operator of business parks the Group aims to have a positive impact on communities and for these locations to be catalysts for economic and social vitality. See Case study on page 329.
VGP is aware of the economic importance of its real estate properties. In addition to being an urban planner, providing public facilities and building eco-efficient and well-connected business parks, VGP plays a key role in the local ecosystem. VGP drives positive economic and social impact within its communities through employment, training and social inclusion: creating thousands of direct or indirect employment through construction and operational spending, indirect employment by tenants' activities, suppliers' activities and local taxes
To limit any potential negative impact on the communities around its development projects, VGP enforces a Considerate Construction Charter with rules on waste management, noise levels, traffic rules, as well as the prevention of environmental pollution. VGP's Human Rights Policy equally underlines VGP's commitment to generating a positive impact in the communities it operates (see section 4.2.3.2.3. Policies related to value chain workers, for more detailed information).
VGP Park České Budějovice exemplifi es VGP's commitment to fostering local economic development by integrating small business units within its off ering. Located on the outskirts of České Budějovice, the park features a multitenanted Building B (8,686 sqm), being delivered in 1Q 2025, which is designed to accommodate a diverse range of businesses through fl exible unit sizes starting from 500 sqm. This concept aligns with the fi ndings of the JPI Urban Europe study, which highlighted the need for modern city business parks to off er a mix of unit sizes to cater to businesses at various stages of growth.
The tenant composition of Building B underscores the versatility and accessibility of VGP's small business units. The building is setup to be able to house a mix of local tenants, start-ups, and multinational companies requiring flexible urban space for diverse activities, including:
By offering scalable and adaptable spaces, VGP enables SMEs and micro-businesses – many of which rely heavily on the local market – to flourish alongside larger players within a shared and resilient business ecosystem.

For development projects, from the early phases of planning to the final stages of delivery, VGP ensures that local communities are consulted. This approach allows VGP to understand the unique needs and aspirations of the community, ensuring that each project is tailored to its context. In addition to reinforcing the dialogue with local stakeholders, these processes enable the Group and each asset to improve the monitoring of its local involvement and enhance its impact for the communities.
For already existing parks, the dialogue with the municipality is maintained such that the park as a whole remains an anchored participant in the local municipality. Dialogue is open and intended to address issues and enhance operations as and when possible
VGP considers the impact on local communities as an opportunity for its activities. All of VGP's standing assets regularly engage in consultations with their local communities, as detailed in section 4.2.3.3.4. Processes for engaging with affected communities about impacts.
Typically VGP engages in the following community actions:
such as local community involvement on environmental and social topics
End of 2023, VGP secured the largest brownfield development in its history through the acquisition of 700,000 sqm from Opel, part of the Stellantis Group, in Russelsheim am Main, close to Frankfurt Airport. A new eco-efficient business park which will encompass large open green areas for social interaction and outside working, and will include Opel's green campus will be built on a former industrial site that required large scale depollution and restructuring, the project exemplifies the positioning of VGP as a partner to cities and companies by the impact it generates for communities by creating a new vibrant eco-efficient business community that fosters economic growth.
The Group aims to continue to monitor the economic, social and environmental impact of VGP business parks on local communities through assessments of job creation and municipality satisfaction.

As an operator of sustainable business parks, VGP has a role to play towards its tenants and end-users defined as (employees of) tenants operating in our assets and their visitors
With hundreds of different companies (ca. 600 lease contracts) represented in its VGP Parks, 37,000 employees working directly and 120,000 employees working indirectly with the tenants in our parks, the mapping of the tenants as end-users is quite large. Therefore, this topic is also indirectly linked to many others, such as GHG emissions, pollution, human rights, responsible purchasing and biodiversity.
Please see sections 4.2.1.4.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and Risk Management and Internal Controls in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process. As explained in 4.2.1.3.1 Strategy, business model and value chain and section 4.2.1.3.3. Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model (ESRS 2 SBM-3), tenants and their visitors as end-users of our buildings are integrated in VGP's business model and approach to the value chain.
VGP's policies for engaging with end-users includes the green lease policy, energy efficiency policy and renewable energy policy. These policies also form the base for annual engagement with tenants on utilities usage and efficiency improvements. Please see section 4.2.2.2.5 Policies related to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation (ESRS E1-2) for more information on these policies. Also, the biodiversity policy is applicable. The goal of the policy is not only to enhance the biodiversity of VGP Parks but also to enable change through education of own workforce and stakeholders, including End-Users. Biodiversity initiatives are where possible made visible and explained locally with signs and posts to support educational value (for more information see Pillar 3: Enable transformative change in section 4.2.2.5.1 Transition Plan and Consideration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems in Strategy and Business Model (ESRS E4-1).
The Group engages with its tenants through the review of utilities usage (see green lease policy as described above). Furthermore, to understand sustainability perceptions, needs and expectations within the Group's business parks, VGP conducts customer surveys since 2018 including a review of sustainability-related topics.
In the yearly tenant satisfaction survey all tenants in existing VGP Parks are invited to share their views and in 2024 in all the markets the Group is active, the survey was conducted. In total 46% of the tenants participated in the survey (272 responses), and they expressed an overall satisfaction of 87%. The Group is exploring an application which will improve day-to-day efficiency of facility management's suppliers. The application could also be used to engage and get feedback of tenants and their satisfaction regarding services provided. These exchanges and the continuous work to improve the relationship with tenants comes in addition to the BREEAM In-Use label, which ensures sustainable business practices in operating the asset.
In addition to the satisfaction surveys used to assess tenants' views on VGP, the Group believes in maintaining open lines of communication with end-users. To this end, VGP has established multiple channels for them to raise concerns. These include point contact by facility management department at VGP properties maintaining dialogue with tenant property management and employees, as well as commercial team with real estate management. The Group compliance Hotline is available to any user or visitor of our parks, and the Group ensures that all concerns are promptly addressed, and feedback is used to improve its operations and services.
Material risks and opportunities related to end-users or tenants of our buildings involve the "GHG emissions and energy consumption of building operations" as well as "GHG emissions from tenants' (and their employees') modes of transport". The Group discusses the consumption data with each yearly, as such is contractually agreed in the Green Lease agreement between VGP and its tenants. The engagement is focused first and foremost on data collection and insight, and on ways how to make the operations in the building more eco-efficient, predominantly by reducing the need for primary energy, improving accessibility of parks through public transport and making EV charging facilities available in all VGP Parks. See the section 4.2.2.2.7 Targets related to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation (ESRS E1-4) and specifically the sub-section Focus on reducing emissions from tenant operations of – 55% by 2030 for the discussion of the status and effectiveness of such actions.
The results of the tenant satisfaction survey are discussed both at group and country level and part of the end of year remuneration of managers and employees involved. Each country is expected to maintain at least an 88% tenant satisfaction score for the tenant portfolio in the respective country.
For more detailed information, please refer to sections Composition of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies and their access to expertise and skills with regard to sustainability matters and Management and supervisory bodies.
Please see sections 4.2.2.2.4 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and Riskfactors in the chapter Report of the Board of Directors, respectively for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process.
VGP through its Code of Conduct, is committed to its ethical core values when it comes to how we conduct our day-to-day business in an ethical, transparent and fair manner. For more detailed information on VGP's approach to data protection, please see section Data protection in the Remuneration report. Executive management promotes open discussion regarding key risks, integrates risk management into the organisation's objectives and compensation structure, and creates a corporate culture such that people at all levels manage risks. For more detailed information, please see sections Conduct and compliance in the Remuneration Report and section 4.2.4.3.1 Anti-Corruption program.
The Group's Anti-Corruption training aims to combat and prevent corruption, bribery and influence peddling, and has been created to comply with applicable laws. Executive Management strictly enforces the Group's zero-tolerance principle regarding violations of the Anti-Corruption Program. For more detailed information, please see section 4.2.4.3.1. Anti-Corruption Program.
For more detailed information, please see sub-section "Whistleblowing platform: VGP Compliance HotLine" of section Compliance awareness of the Corporate Governance Statement chapter. The Group Whistleblowing Policy has been developed to comply with whistleblowing legal requirements and applicable data protection regulation in the relevant jurisdictions.
To raise awareness and entrench the compliance culture within the Group, employees are required to participate in an annual mandatory e-training, covering ethics and compliance topics such as the prevention of corruption and infl uence peddling. As of December 31, 2024, 38% of VGP staff have completed the online training and 85% of management. In addition to the online training, the most exposed departments identifi ed in the VGP compliance risk mapping (new land acquisition, development, permitting, and procurement) are required to attend classroom training. Several training sessions were held throughout the Group, hosted by the Group Head of Compliance in local languages when required. Finally, an Anti-Corruption training session was attended by all managers with executive responsibilities. For more detailed information, please see section Anti-Corruption of the Corporate Governance Statement chapter.
The sustainability roadmap of the Group encompasses a much wider footprint than the Group itself. Being a substantial purchaser of building materials, VGP is aware of the importance of driving industry standards and works on integrating sustainability further in its supply chain. Given the size of its portfolio, the Group works with a many suppliers and contractors, and ensures it is not exposed to the risk of depending on only a few strategic suppliers. The Group has performed a mapping of sustainability risks in its supply chain. VGP became a signatory to the UNGC in 2021, thus committing to adopting, upholding and enacting within its sphere of influence the 10 universally recognised principles relating to human rights, labour laws, environmental protection and anti-corruption. In 2022, the Group rolled out a Suppliers' Code of Conduct and a Human Rights Policy covering its interactions with suppliers.
Purchases at VGP can be split into 3 categories:
These mainly include purchases from constructors, fees for architects, designers and engineering firms, and insurance premiums. Capitalised construction works are non-recurring expenses depending on development activity. Purchases consist principally of OPEX and CAPEX for the operation and development of properties (overheads being a small part of the overall expenses). OPEX and CAPEX mostly comprise labour-intensive services and to that extent are purchases that cannot be relocated. Most of the supply chain is composed of local companies or subsidiaries that support the local economy. In addition, wherever possible, the buyers favour local purchases in the catchment area of the Group's assets in order to contribute to employment and local economic development. Please refer to section 4.2.3.2.2 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model, for more detailed information on risks.
VGP's procurement strategy aims to ensure: fairness, focus on quality, long-term partnerships, reduced risk and the respect for applicable regulations.
In addition to the principles and rules detailed in the Group procedures and Suppliers' Code of Conduct, all purchases must comply with the applicable local laws and regulations, especially labour and environmental laws. The VGP compliance team carries out regular audits across the Group to validate the thorough application of the Group's Suppliers Code of Conduct. In 2023, VGP was recognized by CDP in the Leadership band for "implementing current best practices" in terms of its supplier engagement, having received an A – rating VGP was recognised to be among the top 19% of organisations assessed by CDP within the Land & property ownership & development segment.
VGP strives to reduce payment times for small and medium sized companies in its supply chain, as part of its broader commitment to fostering strong, mutually beneficial relationships with its suppliers. (See also section 4.2.4.4.2 Material Impacts, Risks and Opportunities and Their Interaction with Strategy and Business Model)
The Group maintains a Suppliers' Code of Conduct (the latest version is available on VGP's website) which is applicable to all Group suppliers. The Code defines the Group's requirements to direct and indirect suppliers ("sub-suppliers"), along 11 main Commitments:
The Suppliers' Code of Conduct is meant to be a contractually binding document between VGP and its suppliers. Suppliers must accept and comply with the Suppliers' Code of Conduct, which includes requirements related to the preservation of the environment, the working environment and social conditions, and business ethics and compliance.
On top of the Suppliers' Codes of Conduct, VGP chooses its contractors with great care and ensures they comply with the required policies. The Group-wide procurement procedure aims that all purchasing and sourcing strategies and processes to acquire goods and services are transparent, cost-effective, timely, and objective. Prospective business partners are screened in line with the "Know Your Partner" procedure of the Group. As part of this due diligence, the Group evaluates any violations with respect to environmental misconduct, corruption, illegal employment of migrant workers, child labour, human trafficking and modern slavery, and any red flags identified are escalated with the Compliance department. In addition, these environmental and social factors are of particular importance to the Group in its choice of suppliers. VGP uses NetSuite as a web-based solution to manage procurement. This solution secures the administrative management for the whole purchasing cycle. It makes the procurement procedures more robust, ensures the transparency required for all purchasing decisions and controlling, helps operational teams to select providers, and facilitates the sharing of best practices and risks mitigation.
General Purchasing Conditions apply for all the countries in which VGP operates. A clause is also automatically included in these conditions, requiring suppliers to abide by the Group's Suppliers' Code of Conduct, including complying with applicable laws and regulation, prevention of all forms of corruption and discrimination, respect for human dignity and for employees' work, preservation of the environment, and reporting practices that are in breach of these principles using the contact procedure provided by the Group.
For standing assets, service providers (particularly cleaning, multi-technical maintenance and security companies), are asked to sign the VGP Supplier's Code of Conduct attached to each contract. This includes a sustainability clause covering all environmental issues, notably improved energy efficiency, responsible waste management and the use of environmentally friendly products and materials, and which ensures the protection of social and labour rights, including a commitment to comply with the conventions and standards of the ILO and with local employment legislation.
For projects under construction, the contracts signed with suppliers state that the Group and the companies it controls are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of their projects, particularly during the development phase of the assets. A clause indicates that the construction companies involved in the Group's projects must take the carbon impact into account when selecting construction techniques, materials and technical solutions. After each project review and at all project stages, an arbitration regarding the carbon footprint impact is to be taken for the proposed solution to be submitted to the Group. The principles and action plans used to select the most sustainable materials with a reduced carbon content are specified in section 4.2.2.6 Resource Use and Circular Economy (ESRS E5).
During the 2024 financial year, VGP provided training to its 'at-risk' workers in line with its policy (Please refer to section Anti-Corruption Program for more information on VGP's approach). For those at-risk functions the training is mandatory, but VGP also made available voluntary training for other own workers. Details of the training during the year is as follows:

The Group is a member of the European Public Real Estate Association ("EPRA"). At regional or country level, the Group is a member of professional organisations such as, in Germany, the Bundesverbund Logistik (BVL).

The Group also supports through availability of data and input the IIO – Institute for Real Estate Economics in the enhancement of the CRREM tool. The CRREM tool aims to accelerate the decarbonization and climate change resilience of the commercial real estate sector.
The Group's political influence is strictly limited to what is allowed by the Code of Conduct and the Political Contribution Policy applicable, and by applicable laws.
Any form of political donation or in-kind or financial contributions are strictly prohibited by the Group.
Specific charitable contributions or sponsorships are carried out only with charities and entities registered under the local applicable laws. It is not within VGP's policy to provide any form of financial support to political parties, trade-unions or religious organisations.
Donations to charities, non-profit initiatives or social projects comprise a risk of having funds or assets of value being diverted for the personal use or benefit of a public official or a private party. Caution is observed if a potential contribution is directed towards a company having an affiliation with a public official. Any contributions must be pre-validated by the Group CEO. An annual list of all the Group's sponsoring activities as well as charitable contributions (typically through the VGP Foundation) is kept and followed up at Group level.
VGP does abide by the legal requirements to annually declare and disclose Belgian lobbying activities on the Belgian Transparency in Public Aff airs platform ("lobbyregister", www.dekamer.be).
In 2024 the number of reported lobbying activities across the Group was zero and political donations and lobbying expenditure was € 0.00.
Our group is committed to responsible and timely payment practices, ensuring that we consistently meet agreed payment terms. We strive to process payments within the specified time limits and place particular emphasis on supporting smaller suppliers by settling invoices as promptly as possible. This approach reflects our dedication to strong and fair business relationships, fostering trust and reliability across our supply chain.

The VGP Green finance framework was introduced in 2019 as part of our strategy to diversify financing sources. The Group has decided to develop a Green Bond framework to finance new development projects, and/or investments into eco efficiency for standing assets which meet the environmental criteria for the construction and operational phases as defined in the "Use of Proceeds" procedure, and specified hereafter. Green Bonds are only used to finance resilient eligible assets, in line with a clear procedure for allocating funds.
VGP issued its first Green Bond on the Euro market in March 2021. In January 2022, the Group issued its second Green Bond (split into two tranches) on the Euro market. These issuances are testament to the success of the Group's integral focus on ESG as part of the organization, investments, and financing. In total, the two issuances raised € 1.60 billion. Since Dec 2023 all use of proceeds have been allocated to a variety of darker and lighter green investments with the lightest green investments allocated to at least BREEAM Excellent qualified buildings.
The ESG criteria associated with the Green Bonds were approved by S&P Global/CICERO. They are (i) aligned with the "Green Bond Principles" (GBP) updated in March 2015 and (ii) fit in with the Group's ESG strategy. Proceeds from Green Bonds issued under this framework will be used exclusively to finance and/or refinance, in whole or in part, "Eligible Assets", described in the Green Finance Framework.
Proceeds can be allocated to refinance existing projects as well as finance new developments. Eligible projects include:
Additional criteria and indicators to be monitored for eligible assets – including EU Taxonomy and CRREM, also referring to section 4.2.2.7 Disclosures Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation) and section 4.2.2.2.7 Targets related to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation (ESRS E1-4) – are published on the Investor Relations' website under the following link: https://www.vgpparks.eu/en/investors/financial-debt/
In line with the Group's internal Green Bond analysis, selection and monitoring procedure, the funds generated by Green Bonds issuances are allocated to the selected assets based on a previously defined list of "eligible assets". The criteria are presented above and explained in detail in the Green Finance Framework as available on the Group website.
In the case of an asset disposal (both in full or partially) to one of the Group's Joint Ventures during the funding period (i.e. prior to the bond issue maturity), the proceeds initially allocated to the disposed asset shall be reallocated to another "eligible asset" held by the Group, based on the same process. In case of a full disposal the equivalent asset base shall be reallocated and in case of a disposal to one of the Joint Ventures the remaining equity interest shall be reflected in the pro-rata asset allocation.
The allocation of the proceeds from the outstanding Green Bonds as at 31 December 2024 is illustrated below:

VGP Park Laatzen
VGP engaged an independent auditor to verify that the assets financed meet the eligibility criteria. The reporting on these criteria and the independent auditor's attestation on the information related to the allocation of funds are presented in the following section.
This category includes the financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures in products, technologies and services ranging from the generation and transmission of energy to the manufacturing of related equipment including among others onshore and offshore renewable energy facilities. This includes among others solar, wind, hydro and geothermal energy projects.
Of the 147 photovoltaic projects on VGP Parks' roofs 135 are owned and operated by VGP and of these 88 are included in the Green Finance Framework allocation. Of these 83 systems were operational by December 2024, representing 117 MWp and a further 5 were under construction/waiting for grid connection, representing 5 MWp.
The eligible photovoltaic investments have generated green energy in 2024 for in total 83G Wh, equivalent to 27,572 TCO2e. For calculating the equivalent CO2 emissions the average grid factor of the VGP Parks portfolio of 0.3314 tCO2/MWh has been used:
| Full year actual renewable energy production |
2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full year production (MWh) | 8,216 | 27,449 | 44,496 | 83,199 |
| Emission factor (tCO2/MWh) | 0.308 | 0.3328 | 0.439 | 0.417 |
| Avoided emissions (tCO2) | 2,529 | 8,450 | 19,534 | 34,677 |
Please refer to the table below for the capacity and production data of the photovoltaic systems included in the Green Finance Framework allocation split by country. All assets are included in the Green Bond – April 2029:
| Country | Capacity installed (MWp) | Production 2024 (MWp) |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | 89.6 | 60,931 |
| Hungary | — | 39 |
| Italy | 4.5 | 1,074 |
| Netherlands | 22.5 | 20,381 |
| Spain | 0.6 | 774 |
| Total | 117.2 | 83,199 |
Please refer to section Renewable Energy and 4.2.2.2.8 Energy Consumption and Mix for further information on the Group's initiatives and KPIs with respect to renewable energy production.
The framework defines eligible the financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures in relation to real estate assets which have received, or are designed and intended to receive, BREAAM "Very Good" certification (or equivalent DGNB Silver/LEED Silver rating)
However, as a reflection of the year-over-year improvement of the quality of the portfolio, the building allocation has since December 2023 been refined to 100% allocation to green building certification of minimum BREEAM Excellent or equivalent. Furthermore, majority is now allocated to EU Taxonomy compliant assets see section 4.3.3 Current allocation of green bonds.
As such, in total 248 eligible building projects have been identified of which 72 buildings have been allocated under the Green Financing framework, of which 50 buildings are completed and 22 under construction. The completed buildings have predominantly been built since 2021. Given this is such a new portfolio it benefits from the latest ESG features of our building standard and green energy sourcing.
The EPC ratings which have not been updated since completion of construction works will benefit from installed PV since the EPC was issued. Considering the photovoltaic installations the pro-forma EPC ratings split per bond are as follows, with 80% of buildings allocated to EPC B or better:
| EPC Rating | Bond – April 2029 | Bond – Jan 2030 | Bond – Jan 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 60% | 68% | 69% |
| B | 20% | 16% | 13% |
| C | 20% | 5% | 13% |
| D | — | 5% | — |
| E | — | 5% | 6% |
The allocation of the 50 completed buildings per EPC band of the original EPC certificate per bond is shown in the table below. In total is 70% of the assets rated EPC B or better.
| EPC Rating | Bond – April 2029 | Bond – Jan 2030 | Bond – Jan 2027 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 33% | 47% | 25% | |
| B | 27% | 32% | 44% | |
| C | 27% | — | 25% | |
| D | 13% | 16% | — | |
| E | — | 5% | 6% |
Some EPC ratings do not yet take into account photovoltaic which has been installed after EPC rating was issued. A re-rating of such buildings is expected to improve the EPC score.
The allocated green buildings portfolio has been assessed using the latest version of the CRREM tool (version 2.05; as published March 2024) and has a GHG-stranding year of 2038, assuming all the current photovoltaic projects under construction/contracted are completed and connected to the grid.
The Group has analysed various asset specific and portfolio-based solutions to improve the stranding date. Based on the retrofit plans, heat pump initiatives, photovoltaic roll-out and green electricity transition an upgrade to 1.5°C-compliant pathway is envisaged. Further details are included in section 4.2.2.2.7. Targets related to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation (ESRS E1-4).
The split of allocation to the three outstanding green bonds is shown in the table below.
Due to employed certification pre-checks and uniform VGP building standard being employed for all construction projects across Europe a very high degree of confidence can be expressed for expected realisation of the targeted certification level in case this is not yet completed. In case a project would not achieve the required certification level it will be removed from the eligible green buildings investments portfolio.

The financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures focusing on Energy Efficiency measures in existing or new (logistics) buildings, warehouses and technologies (insulation, LED relighting, motion detectors, energy monitoring tools etc.) and related services and products.
Whilst not all eco-efficiency measures have been separately accounted for the measures identified include air heat pumps, energy saving LED investments, sun protection and moving sensors in offices to reduce energy consumption. A total of 165 expenditure and refurbishment projects spread over the building portfolio have resulted in ca. € 62 million of additional eligible investments, the proportional eligible spent amounts to € 42 million.
Properly sized heat pump installations instead of gas-powered heating help reduce the gas consumption of our buildings. Furthermore, such HVAC installations allow more easily to heat of cool different areas of the warehouse separately depending on occupancy and use. Automated controls further help optimize the operation of HVAC systems based on occupancy schedules and temperature settings in offices.
Based on the average gas consumption per sqm of a gas connected building in the VGP portfolio over 2024 and assuming the air heat pump is powered through grey electricity from the grid, and based on a coefficient of performance of 3.0x for the air heat pumps, the amount of MWhs consumption avoided through the heat pump installations over 2024 is 19,820 MWh, equal to 1,361 tCO2 emissions.
| Avoided energy consumption and emissions | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Avoided energy consumption (MWh) | 19,820 |
| Emission factor (tCO2/MWh) | 0.0687 |
| Avoided emissions (tCO2) | 1,361 |
Details on the energy efficiency measures and related KPIs are discussed in more detail in section 4.2.2.2.7 Targets related to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation (ESRS E1-4)
The financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures which promote better recycling rates. The Group did not isolate any investments made specifically related to waste management. Please refer to section 4.2.2.6.2 Policies Related to Resource Use and Circular Economy (ESRS E5-1) for further information on the Group's waste management user data and KPIs and waste management improvement initiatives.
The financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures which promote clean transportation (electric vehicle charging stations, bike facilities, etc.). The Group has set the target to developing connectivity and sustainable mobility for each VGP Park to be equipped with EV charging and public transport access.
The reported investments in electric charging and bicycle parking facilities in the VGP Parks up to 2024 amounts to € 2.3 million in 105 VGP building locations, reflecting the locations where EV chargers have been installed and cost base could be isolated. The proportional eligible spent amounts to € 1.4 million. Based on a gross up of the consumption data those sites for which charging data is available the total KWh charged at VGP charging sites in 2024 is 314 MWh, or 1.9 million kilometres of road traffic, equal to avoided emissions of 94 tCO2.
| Avoided emissions | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Total EV charging (MWh) | 314 |
| Assumed car KMs covered1 | 1,881,596 |
| Avoided emissions (kgCO2/km)2 | 0.500 |
| Avoided emissions (tCO2) | 94 |
Please note this data is based on a gross-up of sites for which charging data is available.
The financing and/or refinancing of projects, investments and expenditures which promote a sustainable water management (reduce freshwater consumption, capturing and recycling rain water, green roofing etc.). Selected eligible projects:
| Park | Project |
|---|---|
| VGP Park München | Infiltration basin south incl. plants/vegetation |
| VGP Park Gottingen | Rainwater channels with rainwater retention basin |
| VGP Park Buseck | Use of rainwater for toilet facilities (cistern, piping, separation systems, technology) and Infiltration of rainwater in the rainwater retention basin |
| VGP Park Magdeburg Rainwater channels with large rainwater retention basin combined and connected (through transport trenches) with several smaller basins with overflow and throttling system |
|
| VGP Park Roosendaal Infiltration crates, installation built under building for water overflow and retention (independent of public sewerage) |
|
| VGP Park Berlin | Entire green Roof for water retention and bio diversity stimulation |
| VGP Park Kladno | Rainwater channels with rainwater retention basin |
| VGP Park České Budějovice |
Rainwater channels with rainwater retention basin |
In 2024, the water management projects collected 171,028 m³ of rainwater/greywater on site, which were partially used for cleaning and for watering green spaces.
Please refer to section 4.2.2.4 Water and Marine Resources (ESRS E3) for further information on the Group's water management user data and KPIs and water management improvement initiatives.

VGP has commissioned Cicero Shades of Green, part of S&P Global, as a third-party reviewer to check the allocation against the Green Finance Framework criteria and impact metrics for relevance and transparency. The attestation on the information related to the allocation of funds from Cicero Shades of Green is available hereafter. The original document including disclaimers is also available on VGP's website.
March 12, 2025
This report was produced by S&P using Shades of Green Methodology. On December 1, 2022, S&P Global acquired Shades of Green from CICERO.
S&P Global has reviewed the elements of VGP's ESRS Report 2024 ("Report") relating to its green financing activities. We review against VGP's Green Finance Framework (dated March 2021, the "Framework") criteria, and impact metrics for relevance and transparency.
We consider that the allocations in the Report align with the Framework. We welcome that VGP adopts requirements for eligible assets that exceed Framework requirements, for example higher certification standards, to align with developing market expectations. The green portfolio furthermore reflects VGP's issuer-level climate and environmental ambitions and approaches demonstrated, for example, in the increasing percentage of buildings in the green portfolio VGP considers EU Taxonomy aligned.
We consider that the Report utilizes relevant and transparent impact metrics. Particularly for green buildings, we welcome the additional context the Report provides (e.g. on EPC ratings, EU Taxonomy alignment, and CRREM alignment) which provide additional color to green bond impacts. We consider it a strength that VGP has increased transparency in its reporting year-on-year, for example including additional information on EPC levels in the Report.
Finally, we consider the Report aligns with the core principles and recommendations contained in ICMA's Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting (June 2023).1 Project allocation
VGP has issued two green bonds under the Framework, totaling EUR 1.6 billion. The first, issued in March 2021, raised EUR 600 million, and the second, issued in January 2022, raised EUR 1 billion in two, EUR 500 million tranches. Allocation is reported as at 31 December 2024, with eligible assets in VGP's green portfolio totaling around EUR 1.67 billion.
We consider that the allocations in the Report align with the Framework – see Appendix 1 for a detailed review.
The Framework was assigned an overall Medium Green in our Second Party Opinion.2 Project categories were shaded Dark Green (renewable energy, waste management, clean transportation, and sustainable water and wastewater management projects), Light to Medium Green (energy efficiency), and Light Green (green buildings). Figure 1 sets out the allocations by Shade of Green, showing that around 93% of assets in the green portfolio are buildings. Based on the Shades of Green allocated to the project categories, the investments in VGP's green portfolio are not therefore – in and of themselves – representative of the Medium Green shading awarded to the Framework, though we note VGP's holistic approach to the climactic and environmental performance of its green building portfolio.

VGP reports impacts as at 31 December 2024. We consider that VGP provides transparent and relevant impact reporting. Viewed as a whole, the Report paints a good and clear picture of impacts, complemented by useful context and description, including reference to VGP's issuer-level approaches. See Appendix 1 for a detailed reviewed.
S&P Global provides a review of VGP's annual reporting based on documentation provided by the issuer and information gathered during teleconferences and e-mail correspondence with VGP. VGP is solely responsible for providing accurate information. All financial aspects of the sustainable finance reporting – including the financial performance of the bond and the value of any investments in the bond – are outside of our scope, as are general governance issues such as corruption and misuse of funds. S&P Global does not validate nor certify the existence of investments and does not validate nor certify the climate effects of investments. Our objective has been to provide an assessment of the extent to which the bond has met the allocation and reporting criteria established in the Framework. The review is intended to inform VGP, investors and other interested stakeholders in VGP's green bond and has been made based on the information provided to us. S&P Global cannot be held liable if estimates, findings, opinions or conclusions are incorrect. Our review does not follow verification or assurance standards and we can therefore not provide assurance that the information presented does not contain material discrepancies.

| Category | Description | Review against framework criteria | Impact Metrics | Relevance of metrics | Transparency considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renewable Energy |
• Projects, investments and expenditures in products, technologies and services ranging from the generation and transmission of energy to the manufacturing of related equipment including among others onshore and offshore renewable energy facilities. This includes among others solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy projects. |
No discrepancies identified • The projects financed under the renewable energy project category are solar panels and geothermal heating projects. |
• Total energy generated (MWh). • Avoided CO2 emissions (tCO2e). |
• Metrics are relevant and production, capacity, and avoided emissions are listed as core indicators in the ICMA Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting. |
• Capacity, production and avoided emissions are reported on a portfolio basis. • For avoided emissions, VGP uses the average grid factor of the European countries in which it operates. Transparency on this is welcome. • No quantitative impacts are provided for the geothermal heating projects – this is considered a minor omission. |
| Green Buildings |
• Projects, investments, and expenditures in relation to real estate assets which have received, or are designed and intended to receive, BREEAM "Very Good" certification (or equivalent DGNB/LEED rating). |
No discrepancies identified • The Report states that all buildings in the green portfolio exceed the Framework criteria, achieving at least BREEAM Excellent or DGNB/ OGNI Gold. We welcome that the performance of the portfolio improves over time. • The Report contains useful contextual information on allocations, particularly around EU Taxonomy alignment, EPC levels, and CRREM performance. |
• Environmental certification achieved or expected to be achieved. • EPC levels (%). |
• Certification standard (including environmental certifications such as BREEAM, as well as EPCs) is listed as a core indicator in the ICMA Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting. |
• VGP reports environmental certification on a project basis. • Given that environmental certifications do not guarantee, for example, a certain energy use, VGP could consider reporting on additional metrics such as energy use on an absolute and intensity basis. As such, we welcome that the Report includes the EPC level of the buildings in the portfolio (on a percentage basis). |
| Energy Efficiency |
• Projects, investments and expenditures focusing on energy efficiency measures in existing or new (logistics) buildings, warehouses. • Technologies (insulation, LED relighting, motion detectors, energy monitoring tools etc.) and related services and products, including installation. |

• Avoided energy consumption (MWh) • Avoided emissions (tCO2) |
• Metrics are relevant and energy savings and avoided emissions are listed as core indicators in the ICMA Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting. |
• VGP provides information on the baselines used for calculating avoided energy consumption, and how it derives its emissions factors for calculating avoided emissions. • According to VGP, the calculation includes a majority, rather than all, of energy efficiency investments. |
| Clean Transportation |
• Electric vehicle charging stations. • Bike facilities. |
No discrepancies identified • According to the Report, investments under the clean transportation category are electric vehicle charging and bicycle parking facilities across 105 locations. |
• Total EV charging (KWh) • Assumed car kilometres covered • Avoided emissions per km (kgCO2km) • Avoided emissions (tCO2) |
• Metrics are relevant and/or are included in the ICMA Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting as either core or 'other sustainability indicators'. |
• VGP provides sufficient and transparent information on how it has calculated impacts. According to the Report, the calculation is limited to sites where charging data is available. |
| Sustainable water and wastewater management |
• Reduction of freshwater consumption. • Capturing and recycling rainwater. • Green roofing. |
No discrepancies identified • The Report does not list all eligible water/ wastewater projects, listing selected projects, such as the construction of rainwater channels with rainwater retention basin, the utilization of rainwater for toilet facilities, and the development of green roofs for water retention. |
• Collected and reused rainwater/greywater (m³) |
• Water reuse is listed as a core indicator in the ICMA Handbook – Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting. |
• VGP reports on completed projects for this project category. Impacts for projects currently under construction will be reported following completion. |
To the board of directors,
We have been engaged by VGP NV ("the Company") to conduct a limited assurance engagement on selected environmental, social and governance information ("Selected Information") published in the Annual Report of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2024. In preparing the Selected Information, VGP NV applied the Applicable Criteria/Basis of Reporting set out in notes 4.2.1.1.1 General Basis for preparation of the sustainability statement (ESRS 2 BP-1) to 4.2.1.1.2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances (ESRS 2 BP-2) in the section 4.2.1 General Disclosures (ESRS 2) of the Annual Report. The Selected Information needs to be read and understood together with the Applicable Criteria. The Selected Information in scope of our engagement are listed in the table below and are underlined in section 4.2.2.2.9 Gross Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and total GHG emissions (ESRS E1-6) of the Annual Report:
| Selected Information | Applicable Criteria |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 – in tnCO2e | GHG Protocol |
| Scope 2 – in tnCO2e (market & location based) | GHG Protocol |
| Scope 3 emissions related to the portfolio in use, category 13, downstream leased assets in tnCO2e |
GHG Protocol |
Based on our work done as described in this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned Selected Information as published in VGP NV 's Annual Report, have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Applicable Criteria.
The board of directors of VGP NV is responsible for the preparation of the Selected Information and the references made to it presented in the Annual Report as well as for the declaration that its reporting meets the requirements of the Applicable Criteria.
The board of directors is also responsible for:
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Selected Information based on our procedures. We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements ISAE 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), in order to state whether anything had come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected Information have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Applicable Criteria. Applying these standards, our procedures are aimed at obtaining limited assurance on the fact that the Selected Information do not contain material misstatements. The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement and consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our work was performed on the data gathered and retained in the reporting scope by VGP NV as mentioned above. Our conclusion covers therefore only the abovementioned Selected Information and not all information included in the Annual Report. The limited assurance on the Selected Information was only performed on the Selected Information covering the year ending 31 December 2024. We are required to plan and perform our work to address the areas where we have identified that a material misstatement of the description of activities undertaken in respect of the Selected Information is likely to arise. The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgment. In carrying out our limited assurance engagement on the description of activities undertaken in respect of the Selected Information, we performed the following procedures:
misstatement in the Selected Information, and provide a basis for designing and performing procedures to respond to assessed risks and to obtain limited assurance to support a conclusion.
We apply International Standard on Quality Management 1 and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In conducting our engagement, we have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
We obtained limited assurance over the preparation of the Selected Information in accordance with the Applicable Criteria. Inherent limitations exist in all assurance engagements. Any internal control structure, no matter how effective, cannot eliminate the possibility that fraud, errors or irregularities may occur and remain undetected and because we use selective testing in our engagement, we cannot guarantee that errors or irregularities, if present, will be detected. The self-defined Applicable Criteria, the nature of the Selected Information, and absence of consistent external standards allow for different, but acceptable, measurement methodologies to be adopted which may result in variances between entities. The adopted measurement methodologies may also impact comparability of the Selected Information reported by different organisations and from year to year within an organisation as methodologies develop.
This report is made solely to the board of directors of VGP NV in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) and our agreed terms of engagement. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the board of directors those matters we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. Without assuming or accepting any responsibility or liability in respect of this report to any party other than the Company and its board of directors, we acknowledge that the board of directors may choose to make this report publicly available for others wishing to have access to it, which does not and will not affect or extend for any purpose or on any basis our responsibilities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than VGP NV and its board of directors as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
