Sustainability Guidelines & Policies

Our initiatives and associated processes set forth our steps to meet our sustainability commitments. We have developed Sustainability Guidelines, High-Performance Sustainable Healthy Design and Construction Guidelines for tenant fit-outs and a Vendor Code of Conduct to ensure that property purchased goods and services are held to the highest standard of ethics and sustainability performance. We utilize our comprehensive approach to sustainability and ESG whenever we evaluate potential acquisitions. We aim to implement our program of decarbonization goals, healthy spaces to live and work, and the highest standards of IEQ for our tenants, water safety and conservation, and diversion of waste from landfill on completed acquisitions.

Our Sustainability Guidelines and Policies provide requirements and recommendations for the following:

• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Monitoring • Tobacco-free and Smoke-free Environment • Low-VOC Emitting Materials • Green Cleaning • Integrated Pest Management (IPM) • Sustainable Procurement

• Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001 • Energy and GHG Emissions Management • Water Management • Waste Management • Vendor Code of Conduct • Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience
