Our
commitments
As part of its continued commitment to the common good, symbolised by its status as a “mission-driven company”, FREY was the first French listed company to become B Corp certified. Awarded by the independent organisation B Lab, this certification attests to the sustainable and responsible practices FREY has incorporated into its business model. Obtaining this demanding certification rewards the work done by the Group, both in terms of its governance and its attention to the environment.
Our purpose: Putting retail at the service of the collective interest.
We are not going to save the world, but through its concepts, construction methods, and site operations, FREY is committed daily to a more responsible society, respectful of the environment, and socially beneficial to its ecosystem and stakeholders.
To go further, the company has defined a Mission based on 4 pillars:

Sustainable development is an integral part of FREY Group’s DNA. The Group is committed to designing, building and managing environmentally responsible places for commerce and life. As part of its low-carbon strategy and to support its development model, FREY is working to secure its supply of construction timber to feed its project pipeline. In this context, the OPEN project in Saint-Genis-Pouilly will be the Group’s first development built primarily from wood, both in its structure and façade. FREY is also helping to boost the French timber industry by supplying it with high-quality certified raw materials.
