COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PLAN: News November 2023
It's already mid-November. Time for a CIP update. We are and will continue to move, and that is exactly what we have in mind.
En forte hausse en 2022, à la suite du début du conflit en Ukraine, le marché européen de l’énergie est resté depuis caractérisé par de fortes incertitudes. C’est dans ce contexte que la décision avait été prise pour 2023 de lancer un appel d’offres auprès des principaux fournisseurs du marché français pour une année seulement, considérant que les prix pourraient évoluer à la baisse d’ici la fin d’année 2023. De fait, après avoir atteint un pic au-delà de 700€/MWh en 2022, les prix pour l’électricité se sont effectivement stabilisés sous les 200€/MWh.
Les prix de l’énergie évoluant à la manière d’un marché boursier, les offres faites par les fournisseurs d’énergie ne sont valables que pour une journée. Ainsi, depuis mai 2023, les équipes SEGRO se sont faites accompagner par un courtier en énergie, afin de surveiller l’évolution des cours, estimer les quantités à acheter et demander des offres au moment jugé le plus intéressant.
Quatre fournisseurs (ENI, ENGIE, EDF et Total Energie) ont pour cela été sélectionnés, sur des contrats portant sur un ou deux ans d’achat de gaz et d’électricité (2024 et 2025), et avec comme objectif de cibler une offre d’énergie 100% renouvelable.
Vers une baisse de 50% du prix moyen du kWh en 2024
Constatant que l’évolution des prix était au plus bas la première semaine d'août, nous avons finalement retenu les offres d’ENGIE pour l’électricité et ENI pour le gaz, en remplacement des fournisseurs “historiques” (EDF pour l’électricité, et ENGIE pour le gaz). Grâce à cet appel d’offres, nous pensons réduire de 50% le prix moyen du kWh pour tous nos clients, et garantir également une électricité issue d’une production 100% renouvelable.
En raison des différences de puissance installées sur les sites SEGRO, ces contrats sont spécifiques à chacun d’entre eux. Nous vous invitons à contacter votre property manager pour avoir plus d’informations sur vos futures factures d’énergie.
In the picture
Johan de Wijs, WSP Haarlemmermeer and Regional Work Center Greater Amsterdam
In the In the picture section you will meet the people who create and are the CIP. Customers, partners, SEGRO employees, local residents; everyone who is involved in some way. This time: Johan de Wijs from Employer Service Point (WSP) Haarlemmermeer and Regional Work Center Greater Amsterdam (RWC).
Johan de Wijs is responsible for employer contacts at WSP Haarlemmermeer. “I am in contact with employers who can or want to do something for people who are at a distance from the labor market. That is also the point where SEGRO and we at WSP found each other. I was approached by SEGRO to see if and how we can contribute together to the local labor market, specifically for that target group. Of course we can only say yes to that.”
Reduce the distance together
Johan soon saw a collaboration and advantages in a connection with the CIP. “SEGRO's CIP goals align with those of WSP; we want to help people who are at a distance from the labor market on their way to work and a better future. Of course, there is a lot involved, so I knew: we had to join the Greater Amsterdam Regional Work Center (RWC) in this. This network organization can take us further. After all, networks are extremely important to achieve more and to make a difference together.”
Together with Jurgen Doedel from RWC, Johan was already involved in the organization of the Bedrijven in Zicht Open Days [ see further in this newsletter, ed. ]. A wonderful opportunity to explore and shape the first CIP collaboration. “We were looking for companies in the region that wanted to open their doors during the week of Bedrijven in Zicht so that interested parties could visit. SEGRO facilitated transportation so that a group could visit several companies at SPAA in one day. A wonderful way to remove the barrier for people who are somewhat further away from the labor market.”
Connecting and deploying networks
“SEGRO feels the need to give something back to the residents of Haarlemmermeer, especially for the group that is having a more difficult time. That is what we share!” says Johan. “From now on, we will continuously look at whether there are more initiatives that we can work on together. WSP, RWC and SEGRO each have large networks. We can connect them; This creates an even larger network full of knowledge, opportunities and possibilities for people who may not be able to make progress on their own. That's what we do it for.”

Review
Companies in Sight SPAA Open Day
SEGRO Park Amsterdam Airport. Tuesday November 7. A day with even more exercise than normal. Understandable, because it is the Bedrijven in Zicht SPAA Open Day. Our customers opened their doors to anyone who is looking for a job or internship or is just curious.
We organized an Open Day tour together with DHL Express, A2 Global Electronics and Kite Pharma. Three stops, three 'looks into the kitchen'. SEGRO provided a bus to transport interested parties to the three locations. Here they were given guided tours and presentations, and perhaps a view of a new step in their lives.
The latter is what we do it for: contributing together to our local environment; to the lives of residents of the Haarlemmermeer. It was wonderful that the turnout for the open day was so great. The bus was full of interested people, our Marco guided the tour with verve, and the lunch offered was also appreciated! We look forward to the next edition.

CIP 2023 to 2025
Big plans, great goals
Contribute together to the local SPAA community. It is the core of our Community Investment Plan. But what does that mean? At SEGRO we have a number of very concrete goals in mind.
Our goals did not come out of thin air. They are based on our experiences and meetings with customers, partners, municipalities and educational organizations. If we join forces, we dare to set the following goals before the end of 2025:
- 225 people at a distance from the labor market participate in our job market program. Our program gives clients the opportunity to showcase their company and job opportunities to potential employees.
- 100 young people are introduced to the real professional world by inviting them to visit our customers and/or suppliers in the construction sector. Schools and employment services are invited to visit the job fair with their students, trainees and clients to inspire them.
- 75% of all SPAA customers participate and commit to the CIP program. Connecting to the CIP means contributing – thinking along and participating – in a way that suits the organization in question.
- Support for 12 sports activities for children and other groups for whom sports are less obvious due to social, physical or financial limitations. We achieve this together through volunteer work and the supply of materials.
- At least 60 residents of Haarlemmermeer are training with a CPR course to make the local environment 'heart safer'.
