INVESTOR ENGAGEMENT
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS
Our investor relations team maintains an ongoing dialogue
with our shareholders through a variety of engagement
strategies to better understand their priorities and what drives
their investment decisions. Throughout the year, members of
our executive team participate in investor events, conferences,
property tours, meetings and calls. We invite key shareholders
and industry analysts to participate in informal sessions with
our executive team and Board to discuss our performance and
strategic initiatives.
We leverage our strategic partnerships and involvement in
industry organizations to advance our sustainability and
resiliency initiatives and thought leadership. Our executive
team engages with key industry organizations like NAREIT,
NAIOP and ULI through conference presentations, committee
participation and industry round tables. We encourage our
coworkers to actively participate in industry organizations
and pursue valuable professional development opportunities,
including industry accreditations.
In support of our sustainability and resiliency planning process,
we seek valuable feedback from our shareholders through our
materiality and investor perception surveys. We report our
financial performance through quarterly and annual SEC filings
and host quarterly earnings calls with our shareholders and
other interested stakeholders. Through this annual Corporate
Resiliency Report, we highlight our sustainability initiatives
and resiliency strategy, performance metrics and progress
towards our goals. We also participate in various third-party
reporting frameworks, including GRESB, ISS Quality Score and
Sustainalytics, to further our efforts to promote transparency.
We have participated in the voluntary GRESB survey since 2020
and have achieved five consecutive Green Stars. To validate
the environmental performance of our assets, we partner with
ENERGY STAR and LEED to obtain asset-level green building
certifications for eligible properties. Further, we partner
with the Center for Active Design (CfAD) to pursue Fitwel’s
health and well-being certification for all new, wholly-owned
development projects.
