EPRA annual report survey 2012/13

Published on: 02 Jan, 2014

This survey comprises a review of 86 annual reports from leading listed real estate companies across Europe to assess compliance with the Best Practices Recommendations (BPR) of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). The survey focuses on the EPRA Performance Measures which are at the heart of EPRA’s drive to achieve consistency and transparency in financial reporting for the benefit of shareholders and investors.

Some 79% of companies surveyed, representing 89% by market capitalisation of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe indices now recognise the BPR by adopting at least one EPRA Performance Measure. This is an increase of 5% compared to 2011/2012.

Companies which demonstrate a high level of compliance with the BPR are given an award by the judging panel. This year, 50% of the companies surveyed gained an award, a significant increase compared to 39% last year.

18 companies received Gold medals in 2013, awarded to those companies recognised by EPRA for annual reports demonstrating exceptional compliance with the BPR. Swiss Prime Site was presented with the award for ‘Most Improved Annual Report’, the second year in a row that this award was won by a Swiss company.
