ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (“ESG”)

The Company is dedicated to responsible environmental, social and community stewardship as an essential part of our mission to build a successful business.

We have a formal reporting and oversight structure for the Company’s long-term ESG strategy and goals. Our ESG Taskforce (“ESG Taskforce”), composed of key members from various departments and chaired by our Chief Operating Officer met regularly during 2024 . The ESG Taskforce is responsible for setting strategy and ESG goals and monitoring ESG performance across the Company. The ESG Taskforce’s goals and initiatives are reported to the NESG Committee of the Board, which formally oversees ESG goals and initiatives, including corporate responsibility strategies. We memorialized our stewardship and commitment to our ESG strategies and commitments in our 2023 ESG Update, which is available on the Company’s website. The report outlines our proactive approach for addressing decarbonization, resident interaction with respect to sustainability initiatives, biodiversity actions, and cultural diversity and inclusion.
