TENANT ENGAGEMENT TO DRIVE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE Our engagement with tenants begins with the integration of a suite of sustainability provisions in all of our leases. Our direction drives the development of high-performance, sustainable, and healthy spaces. Our provisions include performance-based criteria for energy, water, health, IEQ, responsible materials specifications, and waste diversion. Our lease requirements encourage collaboration between tenant and landlord to achieve efficiency improvements. We share energy, waste, and IEQ data with our tenants, and provide hands-on expertise to ensure continued sustainability performance. The active implementation and execution of green lease provisions across 100% of the portfolio earned us Green Lease Leader Gold recognition. Green leases include criteria for transparent tracking and reporting of energy, water, waste, and emissions data, broker training, submetering, and tenant fit-out requirements. Our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer led the funding and development of the Tenant Energy Optimization Program to develop industry-leading practices for high-performing tenant installations and worked with Congress to draft and pass legislation that created the EPA’s Energy Star for Tenants certification. The Tenant Energy Optimization Program is now managed by the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Center for Sustainability.
Achieved Green Lease Leader Gold recognition for our dedication to sustainability and tenant space and execution of green leases across the portfolio.
