In 2023, the Group organised its second global Learning Week, which included an opportunity for employees to deepen their understanding of sustainable urban regeneration with a keynote hosted by an external expert and urban strategy leader; approximately 250 employees participated. Regional Learning Week initiatives included trainings to highlight the impact of carbon emissions on key departments, such as mobility and digital trends. In September 2023, URW hosted a Leadership Working Session for the Group’s senior manager population. This full day event was dedicated to a deep-dive into URW’s accelerated Better Places roadmap, with a focus on the Better Places certification, Sustainable Retail Index, social impact and carbon neutrality. The programme is being replicated in every country, for all employees. In 2023, 683 employees participated in a 1-day “Building Tomorrow Together” sustainable roadshow.
