LOOKING AHEAD

Looking into 2022, Boardwalk is committed to maintaining and improving its focus on ESG. Specifically, we aim to achieve the following:

• Boardwalk will strive to better understand its waste mix and how to decrease its overall waste disposal through partnerships and education. • Boardwalk will continue focused capital deployment towards energy efficiency projects, including increasing its dedicated budget for green initiatives. • Boardwalk will evaluate building certification programs on its development projects.

Social

Equity and Inclusion committee striving for increased understanding of our Associates. • Boardwalk will explore certification programs available for health, well-being and safety to determine if it is eligible for any other certification programs. • Boardwalk will continue to understand the wants and needs of its Resident Members to provide targeted and focused programming to its Communities.

Governance

• Continue to improve upon GRESB assessment score from the 69 obtained in 2021.

• Begin the process to formally align with the United

Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. • Continue to involve the Board of Trustees on risk assessments, strategies, metrics and targets.
