The Crédit Agricole Group at the heart of SIMI 2024

A stand in the colors of CA Immobilier  

Crédit Agricole Immobilier employees took turns showcasing their 3 core businesses: real estate services for individuals, property development and property management. Employees from the Sudeco subsidiary of Nexity Property Management, which joined the Group last November, were also on hand alongside staff from other Group subsidiaries.

Afica, the Group's real estate association (link to brochure), co-exhibited alongside Crédit Agricole Immobilier for the second year running. 30 Regional Banks have their own real estate companies to develop meaningful real estate projects in their territories. They represent 3.4 billion in real estate assets. Employees from 11 Regional Banks real estate companies took turns on the stand to showcase their projects.  

Focus on the future headquarters of the Caisse régionale du Languedoc 

Crédit Agricole Immobilier's flagship project, the construction of the new Montpellier headquarters of the Caisse régionale du Languedoc, was the subject of an interview on the Crédit Agricole Immobilier stand, in the presence of the project's developer and architect.  

In June 2023, Crédit Agricole du Languedoc formalized its plans to move into the Cambacérès district, affirming its desire both to participate in the development of an ecosystem of innovative businesses and to include its project in the second wave of the “21st century architectural follies”. The aim is to turn this site into an exceptional setting, in keeping with the ambitions shared with the Montpellier Metropolis, and to offer an iconic building at the entrance to the city. The project, which is open to the neighborhood, reinforces the sharing of spaces and interactions between the site's players, thus supporting the vision of a creative campus. 

For Crédit Agricole du Languedoc, the real-estate project goes hand in hand with a social project, responding to new expectations for well-being and performance in the workplace, and to new environmental challenges. By integrating its head office and Village by CA into a campus that will be a catalyst for positive-impact innovations (environmental transition, digital transition, health, agriculture), Crédit Agricole du Languedoc is demonstrating its determination to carry out a project that is useful to its region, in keeping with its values of proximity, commitment and responsibility.

It will contribute to strengthening the local ecosystem and the district's appeal, while embodying the values of innovation and excellence that Montpellier embodies through the Folies montpelliéraines du XXIe siècle: a project adapted to new environmental, solidarity and economic requirements, which will help to make Montpellier a model in terms of urban ambitions, offering residents and users the very best in design and usage performance.  

Signing of the Charte de la Parité dans l'immobilier in favor of gender equality in the real estate industry 

Still on SIMI, on Wednesday December 11 afternoon, Valérie Wanquet, Managing Director of Crédit Agricole Immobilier and Patrice Vallée, Head of Human Resources at Crédit Agricole Immobilier, signed the Charter of commitment in favor of parity and professional equality between women and men in companies in the real estate sector.

Launched by the Cercle des Femmes de l'Immobilier and supported by the Observatoire de la Parité dans l'immobilier, the Charter aims to support the transformation of the sector by encouraging its signatories to go beyond legal obligations (Copé-Zimmermann Law, Rixain Law and Pénicaud index).
By signing the Charter, Crédit Agricole Immobilier is continuing its proactive approach initiated several years ago in terms of professional gender equality, in line with the Crédit Agricole Group's Societal Project.

Crédit Agricole Immobilier is committed to a process of continuous improvement aimed at achieving the Charter's four fundamental objectives: 

• Make “Performance Parité” a priority issue of corporate governance by creating regular monitoring of the results ;  
• Reduce the pay gap between men and women, with the aim of achieving equal pay; 
• Recruit or promote female employees to management positions, with the aim of achieving at least 30% female representation by 2027 and 40% by 2030;
• Encourage women to take the floor, and decline to participate in panel discussions with 3 or more speakers, if no women are present.
   

To go even further, Crédit Agricole Immobilier will also be striving to achieve 6 additional objectives in areas such as training, work/life balance, equal pay, transparency and visibility. 

4 new certificates for 2 SKUs 

At the end of the afternoon, François JALLOT, President of Certivea*, presented 4 certificates on behalf of Crédit Agricole Immobilier to Bruno Salis, Director of Tertiary Development Operations.
