European network

Over the period the network has grown by 2,736 beds to 91,387 beds from 88,651 at the end of December 2020, of which c.1,200 beds are from greenfield deliveries.

Over the same period the outpatient capacity of the network has grown to c.80k sessions per month mainly organic from the increase in day care capacities in 16 clinics, enabling the Group to meet the growing needs for specialised outpatient care.

The pipeline continues to represent 14,500 beds to be delivered by 2025 and the Group is on track to deliver 1,800 greenfield beds in 2021.

The period has also been marked by the strengthening of healthcare activities in Italy with different acquisitions representing 20 facilities for c. 1,200 beds and a capacity of 3,900 outpatient sessions per month. These acquisitions are part of the bolt on strategy to develop Korian’s ecosystem of care for patients with chronic diseases around the main Italian cities (Roma, Firenze and Torino).

The Group plans to have 30% of revenue in healthcare by 2024 and is aiming to serve health needs in the territories where it is implanted and to offer diversified care pathways.

Health situation

Regarding Covid-19 Korian’s network reports only 11 facilities have 4 or more cases at European level⁴, notably given the high vaccination coverage (average rate⁵ of 94% for residents and 92% for all staff) and maintained strict prevention measures.

The campaign for the 3^rd injection⁶ is progressing well in France, Germany and Spain, and will begin notably in other countries in line with local health protocols. As of 25 October, 34% of the Group’s residents had already received their third dose.

Regarding the seasonal influenza, vaccination campaign has started in France and will be launched before the end of the month in most countries where the Group is present.

ESG commitments

Korian is delivering ahead of expectations on its ESG roadmap in its 5 pillars, with notably:

- On Care excellence:

• 20% of the network is ISO 9001⁷ certified, ahead of our 2021 objective;
• Appointment of Claude Czech, honorary magistrate, as independent mediator, to facilitate relationships with residents, patients and their families and to prevent any disputes.

- On Quality at work and employee commitment:

• The signature in May 2021 of a company agreement on Occupational Health & Safety with all trade unions representative, the first to be signed by a private operator in the sector in France;
• Recruitment of 2,600 apprentices in its European network at the end of September 2021, a 23% increase vs end of December 2020, in particular confirming the success of its first training centre for care professionals (CFA soins) in France with more than 600 apprentices.

- On societal commitment:

• Korian foundation in Germany presented in October for the first time, the award for diversity and respect in care. This award was granted to the Immanuel Seniorenzentrum Schöneberg facility located in Berlin, for its commitment to respectful and culturally appropriate care for LGBTI people;
• The Group has drawn up a new Ethics charter, on the basis of numerous contributions from its employees throughout Europe and in discussion with the employees’ representative bodies. With this text, Korian and its employees from all countries of the Group reinforce their commitment to act with ethic, caring and integrity in their mission of caring for and supporting the elderly and fragile people.

The Group’s commitment to its ESG commitments has recently been recognised by Vigeo-Eiris (V.E) as the leader in the Healthcare sector. The very significant increase in the rating of Vigeo-Eiris linked to our ESG performance (+20 points vs 2020 at 57/100), reflects the progress made in terms of quality, ethics, social commitments and environmental impacts. It also reflects a recognized transparency in Korian’s dialogue with its various stakeholders, as well as the quality of its governance in terms of independence and diversity.

Korian also ranks 13^th in the “feminization ranking⁸” for the representation of women in its governance bodies: 50% in its Board of Directors, 21% in its Management Committee and 46% in the Top 100 of the Group's senior executives. This longstanding commitment to gender diversity and parity is an integral part of Korian, reflected in the implementation of concrete measures and the objective of having 50% of women in the Top 100 of the Group’s senior executives by 2023.

Marking a new step in the Group’s ESG strategy, and after the successes of its €230m sustainability-linked private placement launched in 2020 and its £200m hybrid green bond priced earlier this year, Korian successfully priced a social bond for a total nominal amount of €300m with a maturity of 7 years and a fixed coupon of 2.25%. This inaugural transaction marks Korian’s successful entry on the euro public bond market, with a strong quality and well-diversified orderbook coming from over 70 institutional investors.
