AT THE HEART OF TERRITORIES 2022

Shopping centers, places that interact with their territory

Supporting employment A driving force in local employment

Working closely with the municipality of Utrecht in the Netherlands, the Hoog Catharijne shopping center held its first job fair in the fall, in partnership with 35 retailers. The event’s inaugural edition was an immense success, attracting several hundred people.

Inclusion on a day-to-day basis

Espaço Guimarães also launched the “ColorADD” project, a unique, universal, inclusive and non-discriminatory language that allows the world’s 350 million colorblind people to identify colors. The system’s five symbols have been rolled out in the center’s various touchpoints, and demonstrate a determination for inclusiveness all round.

Commitment to the fight against cancer

For many years, several of our centers have been promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a month-long campaign sometimes also known as Pink October. In partnership with local non-profits that support the cause, our centers in Spain, Turkey, France, Norway and Portugal ran awareness campaigns. Many also welcome the Institut Curie and its “A Daffodil Against Cancer” campaign.
