Press release – Neuilly-sur-Seine, Wednesday, April 29, 2026 – 5.45pm
2026 ESG Report:
ARGAN confirmed its progress and reached a first key milestone, in 2025, of its roadmap toward 2030
ARGAN, a French real estate company specializing in the development and leasing of premium warehouses and listed on the stock exchange, published its 2026 ESG report. It highlights significant progress achieved in 2025, the first milestone in its 2023–2030 roadmap.
Excellent achievements for 2025
In 2025, ARGAN continued implementing its ESG roadmap and achieved very strong performance, marking the first milestone in its 2030 roadmap:
- The Environment: ARGAN stepped up its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint across all three scopes. The Company signed its first green electricity supply contract for 2025, while continuing to roll out AutOnom® (the warehouse that produces its own energy) for new developments and its heat pumps plan, with six new sites now equipped with electric heat pumps replacing gas heating.
These initiatives confirmed the decarbonization of the Group’s activities, with significant reductions compared to 2022 (the baseline year): –29% for Scope 1, –99% for Scope 2 (market-based), and –26% for Scope 3 related to the energy consumption of the portfolio.
From an environmental standpoint, ARGAN also conducted, in partnership with Carbone 4, a resilience study of its warehouse portfolio against long-term climate change risks (up to 2085). This analysis showed that only one site presents a net risk requiring further assessment and the implementation of a dedicated action plan;
- Social & Societal: ARGANalso remained highly active in terms of social and societal progress. The Group maintains exemplary ratios regarding pay equity, with a 0% gender pay gap for equivalent positions, as well as an equity ratio of 1.9, combined with continued strong attractiveness—supported in particular by a free share plan for 100% of employees.
In 2025, the Safety and Security pillar was strengthened, with 100% of on-site employees completing a dedicated safety awareness and training program, and all contractors working with ARGAN signing the Group’s ESG charter;
- Governance: ARGAN also continued to expand its set of charters with three new documents aimed at promoting the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools, protecting human rights and combating modern slavery, as well as fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Finally, in line with a commitment to effective and diverse governance, ARGAN has streamlined its Supervisory Board to six members, with equal gender representation and one-third independent members, in compliance with the MiddleNext code.
Recognized commitments and improved ratings
ARGAN continued to strengthen its ESG commitments and has been awarded the French government label “Entreprises engagées pour la nature” for its biodiversity approach, based on eight ambitious objectives validated by the Office Français de la Biodiversité.
The Group is also reporting steadily improving non-financial ratings. ARGAN’s first GRESB assessment, for 2024 and published in 2025, reached 83/100. In addition, the Group maintains a low-risk rating with Sustainalytics (16.1) and has been awarded a gold medal by Ethifinance (83/100) and a silver medal by EcoVadis (73/100).
The ESG Report 2026 published today is available on the argan.fr website under the“ESG Governance” section(in both French and English versions).
