We believe that environmental and community stewardship is an integral component of growing shareholder value.

With this in mind, we endeavor to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices that create long-term economic value for our shareholders, employees and other constituents.

Environmental Stewardship

We promote sustainable practices and environmental stewardship throughout the organization, with a particular emphasis on energy efficiency, recycling, water conservation, indoor environmental quality and environmental awareness.

Sustainability Highlights at our Corporate Headquarters and Owned Properties

Our focus on sustainable environmental practices is demonstrated by how we manage and operate these buildings and plan for the future, including, for example:

• We promote environmental and energy efficiency awareness at our corporate headquarters and encourage practices such as powering down office equipment at the end of the day and recycling paper waste.
• Energy efficient and LED lighting and motion sensors are installed at our owned properties to conserve energy and reduce costs.
• We partner with third party environmental consulting firms focused on helping clients improve their energy efficiency to develop programs to reduce energy consumption and environmental footprints.
• A sophisticated rain water management system is installed at our corporate HQ to help reduce flooding and pollutants in water run-off.
• Our Corporate Headquarters and owned properties are smoke free environments.

Sustainability Highlights at our Tenants’ Properties

The remaining properties in our portfolio are leased to gaming operators in triple-net lease arrangements, meaning each gaming operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the buildings, including controlling their energy usage and the implementation of environmentally sustainable practices. We are committed to promoting awareness, influencing and engaging with our tenants where possible, regarding sustainability practices and environmentally beneficial energy solutions. As such, many of our tenants have implemented similar efficiency and conservation measures in recent capital expenditure projects, including:

• Cost-saving indoor and outdoor LED lighting retrofits
• Installation of guest room occupancy-based thermostats
• Building management systems upgrades
• Installation of electronic vehicle charging stations

Our Board strives to maintain a governance environment where the interests of all stakeholders, including the impact of our operations on the environment, and the social well-being of our employees, the local community and broader society, are considered in developing policies and making decisions intended to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Company.
