Environmental
The Company initiated its inaugural Report last year, but has
been engaged in collecting and tracking environmental data from its
tenants since 2019, including energy and water usage. The Report
highlights the significant growth in the Company’s energy tracking
efforts, from 11% of its tenants providing energy usage information
in 2019, to approximately 51% currently. The Report also details
the Company’s improved GRESB1 Assessment, in which GMRE moved up in
its GRESB peer group2, improving from 10th to 4th place. Finally,
the Report details additional measures the Company has implemented
to ensure the validity and consistency of data, including a study
from the Georgetown University Steers Center of Real Estate.
Social
The Company’s social effort continues to focus on its workforce,
tenants and communities and describes the Company’s philosophy and
goals regarding workforce and stakeholder engagement. A highlight
of the Report is the success and expansion of GMRE’s pilot program
Ride United, a partnership with The United Way and Lyft, which
provides transportation for those in need to non-emergency medical
appointments.
Governance
The Report also puts forth and details the continued enhancement
of the Company’s governance practices, which are based on
integrity, transparency and accountability. The Board has taken a
proactive role in governance leadership and has prioritized its
efforts to support the evolution of its ESG initiatives.
