A WORD FROM THE CEO

Using cars and respect for the environment are
perfectly compatible. The development of
innovative new projects, which are springing up
every day, are the best proof of this: shared
vehicles, connected and self- driving cars,
hybrid and electric cars require a tailored
service offering.

Here at Interparking, we strongly believe in
multimodality as a key pillar of both greener and
more efficient mobility.

MULTIMODALITY:
THE KEY TO GREEN AND
EFFICIENT MOBILITY

Interparking’s corporate social responsibility
(CSR) strategy ties in with the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals. Established
in 2015, this agenda sets targets to be met by
2030 through 17 ambitious but realistic goals

A number of levers can be used to improve
environmental performance: LED lighting,
automation, renewable energy supply contracts,
greener mobility for employees, etc.

STRATEGY

AMBITIOUS
GOALS,
PRACTICAL
MEANS

The last few years have seen the emergence of
a number of innovations in the field of car travel,
with the aim of helping to achieve more
breathable air for everyone. Hybrid and electric
cars significantly reduce CO2 emissions and
fine particles in the atmosphere. Another
interesting phenomenon is shared cars, which
relieve congestion in cities, free up space on
the roads and reduce traffic.

Since 2015, all Interparking's operations have
been certified carbon neutral, in all nine countries
in which the Group operates. This certification
was achieved by activating two levers: firstly,
Interparking strives continuously to significantly
reduce the CO2 emissions generated by its
operations; secondly, the Group is involved in a
CO2 offsetting project in partnership with the
certification agency CO2logic.

Interparking is actively involved in a large- scale
project to support environmental initiatives, to
offset its residual carbon emissions. In Spain,
for example, we work with the NGO HOMAC,
which funds projects in developing countries.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

In October 2018, Interparking took out a loan
the cost of which depends on criteria linked to
the firm's environmental performance. This is
a first in Belgium. Specifically, BNP Paribas
Fortis granted Interparking an €80 million loan
to finance its expansion. The interest rate is
calculated based on two specific environmental
indicators: firstly, a reduction in the carbon
footprint per full-time equivalent (FTE); and
secondly, a reduction in the energy
consumption of the car parks.

SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

FIRST
GREEN LOAN

A first notable initiative was launched in April
2019, with the commissioning of a particle
reduction system at the Beffroi car park in
Namur, Belgium. Developed in collaboration
with Delft University of Technology in the
Netherlands, this system uses the positive
ionization process to capture the fine particles
present in the ambient air. What is the result?
The ambient air is cleared of 50 to 70%
of particles, 40% of fine particles and 20% of
ultrafine particles suspended in the car park.

Air quality is an extremely important issue.
Interparking takes the subject very seriously, the
objective being to purify the air in its car parks.

Interparking encourages eco-responsible driving.
This commitment is made tangible when drivers
are rewarded for using clean vehicles. This is
exactly what our Eco Parking offer promotes in
the Netherlands. Currently applied in Rotterdam
(Lijnbaan and Markthal) and The Hague
(Museumkwartier), this option offers a substantial
discount on the basic hourly rate to drivers of
electric vehicles or environmental class A
conventional vehicles.

ECO-PARKING

Asuccessful company is not just accountable to
its shareholders, employees and clients. Instead,
it must also take a responsible approach toward
society as a whole. Here at Interparking, this
commitment is reflected in a number of
corporate philanthropic and sponsorship
initiatives in social, environmental, cultural and
sporting areas.

SPONSORSHIP

The parking school plays a key role in
developing talents at Interparking: internal
mobility pathways are not uncommon. Further
training has enabled job seekers to get a
meaningful job and gradually take on new
responsibilities.

To maintain an optimal level of quality,
Interparking does not skimp on resources and
offers its employees state-of-the-art training.
This means that not only can they develop their
skills, they can also better respond to the
changing requirements of the cities of tomorrow.

Here at Interparking, we do our part by
continuing our multimodal initiatives: car parks
connected to other means of transport, such
as buses, trams, metros, bikes, trains and
airports.

The next few years are set to be exciting for
mobility. Innovations are regularly emerging
that extend and encourage ever more
environmentally friendly modes of travel.
