(4) The Company has decided to apply the AFEP-Medef recommendations as contained in the consolidated version of the AFEP-Medef Code of Corporate Governance for listed companies, published
in December 2008. In its recommendation concerning the termination of contracts of employment in the event of appointment as a corporate officer, the AFEP-Medef code states that: “It is recommended
that when a manager becomes a corporate officer of the Company, the employment contract between him or her and the Company or another Group company should be terminated either by standard
termination or by resignation”, but that “This recommendation does not apply to employees of a group of companies acting as corporate executives in a group subsidiary company, regardless of whether
the company is listed or not”. Laurent Morel has been an employee of the BNP Paribas group since 1988, and was appointed as Chairman of the Company’s Executive Board with effect from January 1, 2009.
He is currently a salaried employee of Segece, a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company, and is bound to the Company by contract of employment. Since the Company is owned 50.91% by BNP Paribas and
is therefore a subsidiary of BNP Paribas under the terms of article L. 233-1 of the French Commercial Code, the contract of employment between Laurent Morel and Segece may remain in place following
his appointment as Chairman of the Executive Board, in accordance with AFEP-Medef recommendations. Laurent Morel continues to be paid under the terms of his contract of employment with Segece,
and is not paid in respect of his positions as Manager of Ségécé and Chairman of the Executive Board of the Company.
(5) Laurent MOREL and Jean-Michel GAULT are covered by the supplementary pension plan for senior executives of the former Compagnie Bancaire. This plan provides for a top-up pension when they leave
the BNP Paribas group to take their retirement. Given their entitlement to this income which will be revalued on their retirement, a calculation should be performed taking into account the amount of their
pensions on retirement and 54.5% of their compensation over their last 12 working months, in order to decide whether or not this income applies and to set up the amount involved.

Klépierre did not apply any workforce reduction and job protection plan in 2010.
Whenever necessary the Group considered all possibilities for reassigning employees either internally or within the BNP Paribas Group.
In 2010, 120 employees changed jobs through dynamic individual management or internal promotion.
25. Relations between the Company and associations promoting integration, teaching establishments, environmental organizations, Group scope
consumer groups and local citizens
Targeted recruitment
• In 2010, in a generally favorable labor market, Klépierre launched a number of highly targeted initiatives:
– real estate jobs: participation in the ESPI’s “job dating” scheme and the ESTP forum;
– finance jobs: participation in the Forum Dauphine Entreprises;
– promotion of diversity: participation in the Open ESSEC-Hanploi.com Forum, the Emploi/Handicap Forum and a Handicafé© organized by ADAPT
as part of the Disability Employment Week.
• A supervisory relationship is also in place with Copernic, a post-masters program for students in Central and Eastern Europe. Klépierre recruited trainees
from this program for the third time in 2010.
26. Ways in which the Company takes into account the territorial impact of its activities in terms of employment and regional development Group scope
Local job creation
• Whenever the Company opens or extends a shopping center, its teams work alongside local public authorities to create as many local jobs as possible. Agreements
are routinely signed with the retailers taking space in the center and the local authorities to prioritize local jobseekers when hiring.
• In “sensitive” inner-city areas, the Company has built close working relationships with local organizations.
• For instance, the Corvin center in Budapest created 850 full-time jobs when it opened in October 2010.
Example: events accompanying the opening of the Le Millénaire center in Aubervilliers (April 2011):
• creation of a dedicated website showing the jobs on offer at the future shopping center (www.lemillenaire-emploi.com);
• active participation in jobs meetings held in the employment catchment area;
• “100 chances – 100 jobs” project: this program was initiated by Schneider Electric and brings together companies in a single employment catchment
area to offer young people from “sensitive” areas, who have been identified by the local support sector, individualized paths back into long-term employment.
Klépierre was one of the founding members of this initiative and has been running the project in Aubervilliers and Saint-Denis since September 2010,
in partnership with the prefecture and state employment organizations.
27. Scale of subcontracting – How the Company selects its subcontractors on the basis of their compliance with ILO standards Group scope
Subcontractors are selected on the basis of their compliance with CSR standards.
• Sustainable development criteria are included in all contracts with companies providing maintenance and security services at French and foreign shopping centers
managed by Klépierre subsidiaries.
• Subcontractors must also submit declarations stipulating that they will only use employees who are legitimately employed under local regulations.
28. Promotion among subcontractors of compliance with the provisions of the fundamental ILO conventions Group scope
All countries where Klépierre operates have ratified the eight fundamental conventions of the ILO.
The Group is able to confirm that no child is employed by Klépierre or by any of its subcontractors.
29. Inclusion by foreign subsidiaries of the impact their activities have on regional development and on the local population Group scope
Klépierre also requires foreign subsidiaries and shopping centers to follow a set of rules for sustainable development in their relationships with suppliers.
Standard code of conduct clauses consistent with these criteria have also been incorporated into the contracts signed with suppliers, alongside the obligation
to have a competitive bidding process every three years and to give priority to companies that comply with European standards.
Shopping centers
The monitoring of environmental indicators imposed by the NRE legislation affects all assets owned and managed by Klépierre in the 13 countries
of continental Europe where the Group is active.
Offices
Offices are a minor part of the company’s business, making up 3.7% of its assets by value. For existing assets, Klépierre makes recommendations
to its tenants. However, for new projects, Klépierre includes environmental requirements in the specifications. Information regarding the Group’s
head office buildings is displayed below.
3. Energy: consumption of energy, measures taken to improve energy efficiency and use of renewable energy Group scope
Klépierre is at the same time landlord, developer and property manager. Designing for management therefore requires that it takes a global approach.
Existing assets: continuous improvement, notably involving teams and service providers on site and by sharing best practice.
Projects under development: contributions of skills and feedback from all staff and stakeholders is incorporated upstream in the design phase of new buildings.
Innovative solutions tailored to local conditions.
Bioclimatic approach
• Where possible use passive methods to cut energy consumption. Design for building density and insulation in order to improve thermal inertia and limit energy loss.
Studies are also systematically conducted of site climatic and weather conditions.
Energy audits
• The best way of identifying and prioritizing actions to improve building energy efficiency. 56 audits were carried out in 2010.
Continual improvement of installations
• Replacement by higher performance equipment.
• Centralized Technical Management (CTM) systems automate the operation of center installations, making it possible to minimize energy consumption.
The vast majority of centers now have such systems.
7. Measures taken to restrict damage to ecological balance, natural habitats and protected animal and plant species Group scope
The Group takes action in a number of different ways to limit its impact on natural habitats, but with particular focus on respect for the site itself, and the way
in which buildings are integrated into the environment.
• Respecting the topography and slope of the land to avoid excessive excavation and minimize the impact on the natural environment.
• Taking care in the quantity and quality of landscaping:
– Working in this way has ensured that the future Le Millénaire shopping center at Aubervilliers will include more than 12,000 sq.m. of landscaped environment;
– The average landscaped area of shopping centers is approximately 2,800 sq.m. per site.
• Use local species wherever possible, to maintain the biodiversity of the surrounding area and limit water consumption.
• Particular attention to the integration of facilities within the environment: landscaped water holding tanks and planted screens to conceal technical services areas.
• Enhancement of surroundings, for instance by using low-impact communication routes wherever possible;
– The Rives d’Arcins project in Bègles uses a covered walkway to ensure the safe movement of pedestrians and cyclists within the site.
• Promote natural water flows, limiting the waterproof surfaces used on site.
• Install special equipment to protect endangered plant and animal species:
– Rehabilitation of a stream in the Odysseum center (Montpellier);
– Installation of bee hives on the roof of the future Le Millénaire center (Aubervilliers).
10. Existence of internal environmental management departments, resources dedicated to reducing environmental risks and organizational structure to deal Group scope
with accidental pollution incidents with effects beyond the scope of Group company premises
Internal environmental management resources
Environmental impacts are managed and measures taken to minimize them at multiple levels:
• Local teams: these manage shopping centers and their facilities and limit their direct and indirect impact on the environment.
• Operational services in each country: these collect data and identify environmental risks (asbestos, Legionella, water, other pollution sources, structures, etc.).
• Sustainable Development Department: it defines and implements a policy of annual initiatives, raising awareness amongst Group employees and providing
ongoing monitoring of these issues.
11. Expenditure, amounts of provisions and guarantees for environmental risks and amount of any indemnities paid Group scope
• Expenditure devoted to prevention of possible consequences of the company’s business on the environment: Klépierre’s expenditure in this area
is all integral to its business activities and cannot therefore be easily isolated.
• Amount of provisions and guarantees in place to cover environmental risks: none.
• Amount of indemnities paid during the fiscal year following court decisions over environmental issues: none.
12. Measures taken to ensure that the activities comply with environmental laws and regulations Group scope
As part of incorporating changes resulting from the adoption of new laws and regulations likely to have a significant impact on the Group and the healthy growth
of its business, the Group legal departments work with other Klépierre departments and the Company’s network of external counsels to gather, process and distribute
data about the legislation applying in the various countries in which the Group operates.

An impairment loss must be recognized wherever the recoverable value
of an asset is less than its carrying amount.
Under certain circumstances, the entity may later recognize all or part
of such impairment losses in its income statement, with the exception
of unallocated goodwill.
In most cases the Klépierre Group treats each property and shopping
center as a CGU.
Group goodwill relates chiefly to Ségécé and its subsidiaries. Appraisal
tests are conducted at least annually by an independent appraiser.
Appraisals are updated to take account of any significant event occur-

be exposed to the risk of a change in interest rate prior to an arrange-

With this objective in mind, the average loan period at December 31,
2010 was 5.5 years, with borrowings spread between markets (the

the balance being raised in the banking market). A range of different

used within the banking market itself.

The defined benefit plans in place in France and Italy are subject to
independent actuarial appraisal, which uses the projected unit credit
method to calculate the expense relating to employee entitlements and
the outstanding benefits to be paid to pre-retirees and retirees. The
demographic and financial assumptions used when estimating the dis-
counted value of the bonds and hedge assets used with these plans
reflect the economic conditions specific to the monetary zone con-
cerned. The fraction of actuarial variances to be amortized after applica-
tion of the agreed limit of 10% (corridor method) is calculated separately
for each defined benefit plan.
The provisions recognized for defined benefit pension plans totaled
10.3 million euros at December 31, 2010.

Shares granted under the 2010 plan break down into 2 fractions:
•• a “principal” fraction, without performance conditions;
•• a “secondary” fraction: the exercise price of this fraction varies depend-
ing on the performance of Klépierre shares compared to the FTSE EPRA
Eurozone (EPEU) index. If the Klépierre share underperforms the index
by more than 20%, the options become null and void.
This secondary fraction is split into 4 equal groups, each relating to a
different performance measure and each determining a part of the allo-
cation independently of the others. These are:
•• a 2010 secondary fraction: performance measured between the 2009
and 2010 fiscal years;
•• a 2011 secondary fraction: performance measured between the 2010
and 2011 fiscal years;
•• a 2012 secondary fraction: performance measured between the 2011

•• a 2013 secondary fraction: performance measured between the 2012
