IGD SIIQ obtains ISO 30415:2021 certification for its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion policy

Bologna, 19 December 2025 IGD - Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A., one of Italy's leading players in the ownership and management of shopping centers, announces that it has obtained the ISO 30415:2021 - Human Resources Management - Diversity and Inclusion certification, the international reference standard for managing DECI policies. The certification was issued by RINA, an independent organization, which verified the correct implementation of the DECI Framework in compliance with the standard through a third-party audit.

Obtaining the certification is a milestone in the 2025-2027 Sustainability Plan, an integral part of the Company's Business Plan, which identifies among its strategic objectives the formalization of the Company's commitment in this area through the adoption of a Policy and the achievement of external certification.

On the 5th of August, IGD's Board of Directors approved the Diversity, Equity s Inclusion Policy, available on the company website. This policy defines the areas in which the Company is actively engaged - gender, sexual orientation and emotional well-being, age, disability, and cultural diversity - as well as the key initiatives already in progress or under development. These initiatives include the corporate welfare plan, work-life balance and parental support policies, communication and awareness initiatives on this topic, internal surveys on gender equality, and a focus on respectful and inclusive language, both institutionally and across the Group's shopping centres.

Following the approval of the policy, IGD decided to formalize its commitment by obtaining certification to the ISO 30415:2021 standard, the first to cover the structured and measurable implementation, evaluation, and improvement of a DECI framework, and pursued this goal throughout 2025.

Obtaining the certification has allowed IGD to make progress in structuring internal processes and activities within a DECI framework and, at the same time, provide the stakeholders with a concrete guarantee of the soundness and thoroughness of the path pursued.

Consistent with the requirements of the ISO 30415:2021 standard, the Company has developed a 2026-2028 Action Plan, structured around four key areas: listening, training and communication, contract management, and

workforce management. The plan sets objectives focused on continuous improvement and on fostering an increasingly inclusive work environment.

"Achieving ISO 30415:2021 certification is a step in line with the sustainable growth path outlined in the 2025-2027 Industrial Plan. Integrating the principles of diversity, equity C inclusion into company processes through a structured approach enhances organizational quality, empowers people and delivers long-term value for all our stakeholders," commented Roberto Zoia, CEO and Managing Director of IGD SIIQ S.p.A.
