Letter to our Stakeholders

GRI 102-12, 102-14, 102-15, 102-20

June 6, 2022

Dear Stakeholders,

Despite the challenges of a continually evolving global pandemic, we executed consistently on our overall ESG strategy in 2021, recognizing the critical need to invest in healthy physical and social spaces for our communities now more than ever. These efforts resulted in the achievement of many of our near-term goals, including the attainment of our inaugural GRESB rating of 75 and recognition as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year.

As you review this report, you’ll notice that we have substantially enhanced our disclosures by aligning with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In addition, we have also expanded our disclosures to better align with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on ClimateRelated Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frameworks. We also formally adopted a climate mitigation plan recognized by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in line with a “Well-below 2 ̊C” strategy. We feel this increased transparency provides a better understanding of our impacts on the economy, the environment, and society. In the pages that follow, you’ll see some of the specific actions we took in 2021 to support our team, our health care partners, and the communities where we operate. For example, in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) arena, we’ve taken bold new steps to build upon our efforts to shape an open and diverse internal culture while setting aggressive multi-year goals to chart our progress.

While we’re proud to celebrate our milestones, especially while commemorating our most successful year to date in terms of recognition for our environmental, social, and governance achievements, we recognize that our progress is simply a step forward for DOC as we continue to Invest in better® to become ESG leaders in the real estate field.

Above all, DOC is dedicated to C.A.R.E.: Collaborate and Communicate, Act with Integrity, Respect the Relationship, and Execute Consistently.

We invite you to review our work and see how we put this message into action every day to serve our team members, our health care partners, their patients, the environment, and our communities.

We look forward to continuing to share our ESG journey with you in the years ahead.

Respectfully,

John T. Thomas President & Chief Executive Officer
