Mortgage Lending

KingSett does not have a central supply chain management process or policy. Rather, individual project teams strategically select supply chain partners who are committed to workplace safety and are aligned on environmental objectives. For asset management, KingSett partners with third-party property managers that have responsible contracting policies and programs. KingSett also uses its Sustainable Procurement Policy at the building level which covers various consumable and durable goods purchases such as lamps, batteries, paper, toner cartridges, office equipment, appliances, audio-visual equipment and other electronic powered equipment. KingSett encourages each of its properties to apply best practices taken from LEED O+M regarding the purchase and disposal of material. For development, KingSett partners with PCL, who integrates sustainability into its business including procurement and supply chain. KingSett also promotes environmentally preferable products such as ENERGY STAR labelled equipment, “green” concrete, FSC certified wood or recycled wood, and other initiatives, where feasible, for its new developments.

There were no significant changes in size, structure, ownership or supply chain in 2023.

Climate Risks and Resilience

Each KingSett asset, and any redevelopment projects, must have a Climate Resilience Policy which addresses the major perils of the physical and transition risks associated with climate change, where feasible. Where necessary, a climate risk assessment will be conducted to measure the severity of the physical and transition risk exposure and actions to reduce those exposures.

KingSett monitors its portfolio and property-level climate risk using the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). RCPs are scenarios that describe alternative trajectories for carbon emissions and the resulting atmospheric concentration from 2000 to 2100. The RCPs describe 4 different scenarios based on different assumptions about population, economic growth, energy consumption and sources and land use over this century and translates them into global temperature warming potentials of 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5 degrees. This analysis is conducted to help ensure that KingSett’s actions and investments in its properties see to avoid long-term global warming potential of RCP8.5 and RCP6.0 and keep its actions and impact to within the RCP2.6 and RCP4.5.

KingSett is committed to improving the resilience of its assets to shocks and stressors brought on by the transition and physical climate-related risks. By understanding these risks, property teams can implement risk mitigation measures and business continuity plans to ensure they resume normal operations swiftly after an event.

• Integrate best-practice risk and vulnerability onsiderations into the pre-acquisition process
• Conduct assessment of risk vulnerability: Each property will undergo a resilience assessment both for a natural event or from an insurance standpoint.
• Planning and response to an identified risk: Where risk or vulnerability has been identified, a resilience action plan will be put into place at the property level to mitigate immediate risk or to repare for any possible risk.

Each property is required to understand, and take preventative or corrective, action to mitigation the negative affects that climate change may pose to the property. The following must be completed as part of the Policy requirements. Property managers are expected to carry out the following functions, at a minimum, for each of their properties:

• Understand the potential environmental, social and operational shocks and stressors that could occur to their property and surrounding infrastructure.
• Identify the key stakeholders that could be impacted by such shocks and stressors.
• Conduct an annual review of their Climate Resilience Policy to update identified shocks and stressors to ensure that changing conditions are included.

Responsible Investments – Risk Management

KingSett’s assets and redevelopment projects are expected to follow best practices related to flooding, where applicable. The property manager must understand the risks faced at their properties and take reasonable precautions that attempt to minimize overall impact from flooding. Property managers shall assess risks and develop response plans which consider, but are not limited to, the following:

• Areas of the building prone to different types of flooding such as overland, riverine, sanitary sewer backup, and storm ewer backup
• Critical equipment and its location within a building
• Emergency generator or backup power capacity
• Emergency preparedness

The plans and procedures (Flood Procedures) will be reviewed by KingSett and the property management company to ensure that measures are up-to-date and applicable. The Flood Procedures may form part of a Business Continuity Plan but must include est practices related to ensuring business returns to usual in a timely manner.
Each property must have a Flood Emergency Response Plan (“FERP“) which is a site-specific documented plan of actions to be taken before, during and after a flood emergency to mitigate damage, downtime and disruption, where feasible. The FERP must take into account the site flood hazard and risk, and the resources available and needed to implement its actions (manpower and materials). The FERP should be kept current through an annual review and should also be reviewed after each flood event and revised to incorporate any “lessons learned” in order to improve its future effectiveness.

In 2023, 81% of the CREIF portfolio conducted flood risk assessments and have flood management plans.

In 2023, 100% of the CREIF portfolio have been surveyed to determine if flash flooding is a risk.

Climate &Environment – Building Certifications

Building certifications such as BOMA BEST and LEED provide a credible means to benchmark and ecognize high performance buildings. KingSett aims to demonstrate its industry leadership in ESG through the pursuit of relevant building certifications and awards, and tracks and reports on these through Stream. As part of KingSett’s pursuit of building certifications, a commitment to chieve LEED Gold in 80% of its CREIF office portfolio has been set.

As KingSett’s Building Certification Policy continues to evolve, additional standards for health and well-being such as the WELL Building Standard and Fitwel, pandemic response standards such as WELL Health & Safety and Fitwel Viral Response, technology and connectivity standards such as WiredScore and SmartScore, and accessibility standards such as Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHAC), are evaluated for their applicability at each asset.
For new acquisitions and specialty asset types, KingSett conducts a green building certification nalysis to determine the most appropriate certification standard to pursue, where necessary.

The Zero Carbon Building Certification is the final step in a property’s decarbonization strategy and requires annual recertification and purchase of carbon offsets and/or Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to be maintained, where applicable. This certification provides the market with third-party validation of the decarbonization efforts taken at the property.

Carbon Emission Reductions
Sustainable Development

KingSett believes in investing in clean energy and purchases carbon offsets and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to help reduce the overall carbon emission footprint of its assets (including its corporate headquarters in Toronto) while it decarbonizes its assets to support the renewable energy sector. RECs are non-tangible energy commodities that represent proof that 1 megawatt-hour MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy source and was fed into the shared system of power lines which transport energy to the electricity grid.

KingSett is committed to purchasing RECs for the CREIF portfolio, specifically for assets whose electricity grids do not enable them to create and execute a decarbonization strategy. These purchases will vary in size from year-to-year as a percentage of each building’s overall electricity use. The choice to purchase certified anadian RECs is done to ensure that the carbon reduction impact benefits the Canadian grid system. This decision is a non-recoverable expense which KingSett bears and is not billed back to properties within the CREIF portfolio.

The Zero Carbon uilding Certification is the final step in a property’s decarbonization strategy and requires annual recertification and purchase of carbon offsets and/or RECs to be maintained, where applicable.

Each property tailors its engagement efforts to fit the unique make-up of the building’s tenants. At a high level, all properties participate in Earth Day, Earth Week and Waste Reduction Week. Customized programs have also included hosting blood drives, flu vaccine clinics, events around Black History month, International Women’s Day, and more.

Where appropriate, a community assessment or a social impact assessment may be undertaken. This assessment aims to identify key stakeholders, record and track community mpressions of the project, provide information sessions and conduct ongoing monitoring of project impact on the community. Analysis of the community may include:

• The community’s current and future economic conditions (increase in employment opportunities, increased tax revenue)
• Land-use changes
• Tourism impacts
• A review of the demographic trends and political landscape

As part of KingSett’s ongoing development of its community engagement and health and wellness programs, additional consideration should be given to any budget items that might contribute to such programs. Third-party building certification to help promote health and well-being such as Fitwel, WELL and RHFAC, should also be pursued where applicable. These standards ensure that market leading best practices are being adopted for the tenants and local communities. Some potential items and projects that would likely be considered an additional amenity in our properties include, but are not limited to:

• Active stairwell designs to encourage stair use
• Water refill stations
• Outdoor pace improvements (benches/seating areas, gardens/green space/food forests, playgrounds/fitness equipment
• Bike sharing/bike storage lockers/tuning stations

Our Strategy’s approach to managing the resources our properties and tenants rely on follows the basic principles of ISO 14001.

Climate Risk and Resilience

Commercial real estate has one of the highest levels of exposure to climate change risk and has one of the largest opportunities to make significant positive change. At KingSett, we actively manage the risks and opportunities related to climate change across our assets to increase their long-term value and resilience. This is done through extensive stakeholder engagement, adoption of national and international carbon targets and standards and investments to improve transition and physical climate resilience. We are also assessing alternative low-carbon energy sources for our properties in Alberta and Saskatchewan to displace energy taken from the grid.

KingSett is committed to improving the resilience of our assets brought on by transition and physical climate-related risks. We have begun assessing our assets to better understand the level of risk exposure. This enables property teams to implement mitigation measures and business continuity plans to ensure risks are reduced and that normal operations can be resumed swiftly after an event.
