Embedding sustainable ESG interventions

COVID-19 has galvanised our efforts on ESG

Redefine’s mission

As a matter of priority, ESG factors must be integrated into our business strategy and day-to-day operations We aim to become an ESG leader in the South African real estate sector We aim to align ourselves with local and international best practice around ESG, including the UN Global Compact and SASB Our ESG strategy will be geared towards creating sustained value for all our stakeholders, particularly in light of COVID-19 and the government lockdown Our commitment to the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals will lead to the creation of a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient operating world – a new normal far better than the one before

Redefine’s ‘new normal’

While we have developed our ESG strategy

  • ver the past few years, the COVID-19

pandemic has emphasised the importance of embedding ESG considerations in our business strategy to ensure sustainability, and it has prompted us to accelerate the execution thereof More than ever, we must measure our ESG risks (both ‘black swan’ and ‘grey rhino’ risk events) and manage them accordingly We introduced a multidisciplinary task force to coordinate our operational response to COVID-19

ESG and COVID-19

Our approach is to manage for sustainability and liquidity, not for profit

Our strategy is twofold: our immediate focus is to deal with the consequences of the lockdown and the exit from it, and our longer-term focus is to position ourselves for the recovery phase to ensure our continued relevance and sustainability. We have complied with all relevant laws aimed at protecting the health and safety of our stakeholders 5

Stakeholder emphasis to position Redefine for business continuity

Investors and funders § Collaborating with investors and funders to ensure that Redefine is provided the space to take the requisite actions to weather the challenging financial conditions that will arise during and post the lockdown Employees § Reinforcing our purpose and values, so that everyone has clarity and is empowered to make commercially defendable decisions on their own and quickly, whilst remaining accountable for their actions is a priority during remote working § None of our employees have been retrenched since the beginning of the government lockdown Tenants § Offering unique value to affected tenants through relief and assistance packages to support their liquidity needs whilst restrictive measures are in place Brokers and suppliers § Supporting and working closely with our suppliers and service providers to ensure their businesses survive this period and position us to receive improved levels of service Communities § Using this crisis as an opportunity to deepen our purpose by ensuring that we remain focused to create and manage our spaces in ways that play supportive roles to those more vulnerable than us

Environmental Welcome ESG overview Governance Social Closing Supplementary information

We are serious about ESG

Our ESG performance has a real financial impact, and future-proofs our business

7

Investors are sharpening their focus and basing their investment decisions on ESG performance Rating agencies are increasingly integrating ESG factors into their credit-rating analysis Proactively adapting to climate change provides funding and investment opportunities Strong ESG performance attracts sustainable tenants Employees want to work for responsible companies – the retention and motivation of a company’s workforce depends on employees’ connection to its purpose and meaning A strong governance framework helps avoid corporate failures Managing ESG-related risks mitigates reputational harm ESG is not necessarily costly – it often hinges on influencing sustainable behaviours in our value chain

How does ESG benefit us?

The World Economic Forum COVID-19 Risks Outlook identified a prolonged recession of the global economy as the most likely fallout for the

  • world. This has far-reaching environmental,

societal and technological implications

slide-9

Environmental Welcome ESG overview Governance Social Closing Supplementary information

Integrating ESG considerations into every aspect of what we do

Our approach to integrating ESG presents multiple opportunities and poses some challenges

8

Aligning our public disclosure to international best practice improves stakeholder grasp of our ESG performance Raising ESG awareness upstream (suppliers) and downstream (tenants, communities) in our value chain intensifies our impact Strengthening our internal governance protocols improves the proficiency of our operations Detecting and mitigating ESG-related risks helps future-proof our business and avoid controversies Measuring and tracking our impact in order to

  • bjectively assess our ESG performance promotes

continuous development Assessing the impact of ESG on our ability to attract equity and debt funding improves strategic forecasting Time, resources and systems are needed to conduct certain ESG initiatives, e.g. impact assessments, due diligence Multiple reporting mechanisms (UNGRI, TCFD, SASB) can complicate sustainability reporting COVID-19 has delayed financial and sustainability reporting Inconsistency in the approach to ESG among investors (local and international), ratings agencies, and proxy advisors Acceleration of harmful effects of climate change

Governance: Support ESG management through a strong stakeholder engagement framework Transactions: Make divestments that strengthen our balance sheet and that are supported by due diligence processes Asset and property management: Incorporate ESG clauses in existing leases, identify controversial tenants in properties to be acquired, and measure tenant satisfaction. Continue to improve environmental efficiency of existing well-located properties Development: Formalise sustainability standards for developments and refurbishments Valuation: Monetise the impact of ESG considerations in asset valuations Reporting: Improve and deepen our sustainability reporting Board oversight: Investment committee has committed to incorporating sustainability guidelines and procedures in

ESG must be considered in relation to: § Acquisitions or development projects § Routine maintenance § Refurbishments § Retrofitting of existing properties by taking into account: § Extreme weather and water scarcity § On-site health and safety of suppliers and contractors § Incoming employees § Needs of communities surrounding our buildings which can be measured and managed by: § Identifying ESG issues during screening, due diligence and planning refurbishments or retrofits § Conducting life-cycle assessments § Conducting impact assessments on health, environment and the community § Conducting stakeholder analysis which can reap multiple benefits: § Tenants prefer buildings with higher ESG performance § Satisfied tenants are more likely to renew leases § Higher rents can be charged for green buildings

Questions for you

We want to better understand and align to your ESG needs and priorities

16

To what extent is carbon-neutrality factored into your investment analysis? Which sustainability reporting standard do you expect companies to adhere to (e.g. SASB, UNGRI)? Which ESG indices (e.g. DJSI/SAM, GRESB) and ratings agencies (e.g. Sustainalytics, MSCI) do you predominantly rely on? What are your expectations around 2020 integrated reporting that incorporates COVID-19 considerations? In your view, how should the board demonstrate its leadership in respect of ESG? What changes do you expect to see made to executive key performance indicators/variable pay incentives in light of the COVID-19 pandemic? Do you regularly conduct ESG due diligence on REITs in your portfolio, and what does this typically cover? What ESG-related risks would you expect us to measure and publicly disclose, and in what format? What are your expectations around responsible investment in the South African real estate sector?

Approach to stakeholder engagement

Value means something different to each stakeholder. Therefore, we: Based on this, we formulate engagement strategies through a process of: § Identify our key stakeholders (considering the impact Redefine has on them and, in return, the impact they have on us) § Analyse our key stakeholders’ needs (and determine and anticipate their future needs) § Consider how those needs and future needs impact

  • ur business activities, and how best to react to

them and remain relevant § Analysing key stakeholder needs/expectations and the impact they have on our business (now, but also in the future) § Devising strategies to address and exceed those needs and expectations § Engaging and communicating effectively and consistently § Engaging to not only meet stakeholder expectations, but to ensure the sustainability of what we offer and how we deliver value, and ultimately to ensure the sustainability and future-proofing of
