24 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2023 PILLAR 1: HUMAN CENTRIC Safety, Health & Well-Being Supporting mental health and open conversations: R U OK? DAY & HEALTHY HEADS IN TRUCKS AND SHEDS (“HHTS”) The Group is committed to creating a safe and healthy workplace, empowering our people to check-in with those around them, and receiving support to their mental well-being. In Australia, the health and well-being of workers within the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries continue to be a priority. In 2023, ESR Australia extended its outreach by partnering with key organisations that support workers in the industrial and logistics industries as well as the local communities. With the ongoing partnership with Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds (HHTS), we seek to promote the understanding of mental health and well-being to our stakeholders by fostering on-site discussions and utilising expert tools. This partnership allows us to support our customers and their teams by providing access to resources around mental health and well-being throughout the year. In 2023, we continued our participation in “R U OK? Day in Trucks and Sheds”, a dedicated day event at our customer sites which promotes conversations around mental health awareness and nutrition. We also organised a roadshow with touring mental health outreach program. The program is supported by a team of health professionals at our industrial estates to deliver educational information, along with some fun games activities. In addition, our teams across the LOGOS Australia and New Zealand region came together for a morning tea discussion on topics relating to empowerment and helping local communities on mental health. Staff are also encouraged to have an open discussion on the topic of mental health, and everyone is provided with a coffee voucher to take out a colleague or friend to ask if they “R U OK?”. Such initiatives continue to support the Group’s focus on creating workplaces that put people first, prioritising employee needs and creating a positive work environment. WELL Health-Safety Rating ESR has received well-deserved recognitions for its efforts in raising awareness on critical health and safety issues to owners and operators. In South Korea, 28 assets have achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), representing approximately 2.3 million sqm of the portfolio. The WELL Health-Safety Rating entails a third-party review process, including evaluation of cleaning and sanitisation procedures, emergency preparedness programmes, air and water quality management, stakeholder engagement & communication, and innovation. This certification demonstrates our commitment to the health and well-being of our tenants. We believe in the sharing of best practices across our regions and continue to strive for achieving WELL Health-Safety Rating certifications or equivalents across our business. The Group also seek to comply with all the local health and safety regulations and safety training requirements relating to our assets. Wongok Logistics Park
