Communities
Contributing to the wellbeing of communities, our visitors, consumers and future visitors and consumers, by creating a sense of belonging, a favourite meeting place in the heart of their community.
We have a responsibility towards the communities where we work to contribute to healthy and safe living conditions. We therefore work on resource reduction (see below) and take into account the opinion of our consumers in setting our policy regarding health and safety issues, the tenant mix, services and activities. We frequently organise events and activities, as a pillar of our centre management, with a focus on children’s education and sustainability issues in particular. Consumers, visitors and the local population welcome this and see Corio as adding value to the local community. This creates loyalty and ultimately will enhance our name and reputation. Our Italian business unit has a long-standing tradition in engagement with the community and in 2009 they developed this further. They regularly perform customer satisfaction surveys containing CSR related questions regarding environmental and social preferences. They have organised several events and fund raisings in the Italian shopping centres, the profit and proceeds of which were donated to local worthy causes such as a children’s hospital and an orphanage.
