Samir Manji
President and Chief Executive Officer

This year, we remained steadfast in our commitment to environmental stewardship and transparency through reporting and disclosure. In 2024, we submitted to GRESB, pursued new and creative ways of collecting consumption data for spaces within our portfolio that are tenant controlled, participated in and led various events for the betterment of our employees and the communities in which we operate, and reviewed and improved our governance policies. We continue to focus on and prioritize initiatives that demonstrate our dedication to creating a lasting positive impact on the world around us. By integrating ESG principles into our decision making, we reinforce our resilience and ability to deliver long-term value to unitholders.
Looking ahead, we will continue driving progress, innovation, and responsibility, ensuring that sustainability remains at the heart of our strategy. Thank you for your unwavering support and partnership.
Sincerely,

Samir Manji
President and Chief Executive Officer
