BENCHMARKING & METHODOLOGY

This report represents the year-over-year data on building performance as part of our three-year ESG plan. As shared in last year’s ESG Report, DOC set 10% reduction targets in energy, emissions, and water consumption and a 10% waste diversion rate increase for 2019-2021. While the data for this report stems from our identified subset of properties, our continued work in advancing sustainability projects spans our entire portfolio.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

In 2019, DOC developed our Environmental Management System (EMS) Plan. This document is updated annually and serves as a roadmap for organizing and directing DOC’s sustainability strategy to integrate sustainability considerations and objectives into DOC’s ongoing decision-making, operations, and capital planning. A key component of this plan was the integration of six core environmental policies: • Energy Management • Water Management • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management • Sustainable Purchasing • Green Construction and Waste Management • Recycling
