Program Spotlight Link Logistics earned the 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. This recognition distinguishes the top energy management programs; our firm has received it three years in a row. Link Logistics’ total of 51 ENERGY STAR certifications, greater than the next five industrial real estate operators combined, is emblematic of our commitment to ENERGY STAR. In 2022, Link Logistics was the first company in the industrial real estate sector to be honored with this award.

Maximizing access to high-integrity energy data is paramount to our sustainability strategy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® tool serves as our source of truth for whole- building performance data. It also functions as a customer-engagement tool, as ENERGY STAR scores indicate which locations would benefit most from enrollment in Energy Solutions. This, in turn, helps us target and customize communications to Link Logistics customers in those locations. Real-time information sent from customers already enrolled in Energy Solutions to our internal database will also be

regularly uploaded to Portfolio Manager, further bolstering the quality of our insights and analysis.

Energy benchmarking laws are the precursor to auditing properties' efficiency and meeting energy performance requirements. In 2023, we operated 57% more properties subject to benchmarking compliance laws compared to 2021. We believe the reciprocal relationship between Portfolio Manager and Energy Solutions will rapidly advance both our decarbonization progress and ability to meet compliance obligations, which increase in volume and complexity every year.
