I am proud of the dedication our team has demonstrated to our ESG program over the past few years and all that we have achieved. We look forward to making additional progress in these areas, setting more ambitious and measurable goals, and increasing transparency through enhanced reporting and alighment with GRESB and other industry reporting mechanism.
