4, we released our third Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which detailed our progress and areas of focus in the sustainability realm. The contents of our Corporate Social Responsibility Report are not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement or in any other report or document we file with the SEC. Environmental Sustainability We take climate change and the risks associated with climate change seriously—both physical and transitional. We utilized Moody’s 427 Risk Management platform to help us identify and measure the potential climate risk exposure for our properties. The analysis summarizes the climate change-related risks, groups them by onset potential, and identifies opportunities for risk mitigation. We utilize the ENERGY STAR platform to collect and track our energy consumption data and have identified properties that are strong candidates for the ENERGY STAR certificate program. In 2022, we earned an ENERGY STAR certification for our Select Medical facility in Omaha, Nebraska, which scored 99, and for our Brown Clinic facility in Watertown, South Dakota, which attained a score of 84. In addition, in 2023, our facilities located in Dumfries, Virginia, Hialeah, Florida, and Dallas, Texas joined those in Omaha and Watertown as ENERGY STAR certificate recipients. 9 We assess energy efficiency and sustainability when evaluating investment opportunities. We utilize utility and energy audits that are performed by third-party engineering consultants during the due diligence phase of our acquisitions. The energy consumption data that we collect is used to calculate our facilities’ carbon emission levels. We continue to improve and expand our efforts in the corporate sustainability arena through tenant outreach and data collection to benchmark our portfolio’s energy consumption and efficiency. We improved our overall GRESB score to 57 in 2024. The scores reflect activity for the previous year. Since we began receiving a GRESB score in 2021, we have improved our score by 15 points. Social Responsibility Our commitment to employee engagement remains a high priority. Building on the findings from our employee engagement survey, we continue to emphasize employee work effectiveness, growth and professional development. Governance In addition to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board has a standing committee that oversees the Company’s environmental, social, governance and resilience efforts. We are a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors. Human Capital Resources We believe we offer a competitive pay and benefits package, with nearly all our employees participating in our equity incentive plans. We also foster the development of our employees’ expertise and skillsets, and encourage our employees to build new skill sets, such as in the sustainability space. We have established policies
