Looking beyond 2023, the Group has made the commitment to support its role as a catalyst for economic and social impact with a target of 15,000 people supported annually through training, social inclusion and employment opportunities. The key actions related to it are:

• Continue implementing Community Resilience Action Plans for the Group’s assets: building on the 2020 achievement of having 100% of its owned managed assets with a Community Resilience Action Plan. Community Resilience Action Plans aim to enhance the resilience of communities in which the Group operates thanks to a structured “glocal” approach, ensuring the implementation of the most relevant strategies according to the needs of local areas;
• Monitor the economic, social and environmental impact of URW shopping centres through a dedicated impact assessment;
• Organise upskilling programmes and recruitment events (e.g. URW for Jobs) in URW assets; and
• Work with partners specialised in social inclusion and health programmes, including support for charities and NGOs.
