This report summarizes achievements and profiles specific initiatives and properties. Morguard also publishes a separate 2019 Sustainability Report, which is prepared in accordance with the Core option of the 2019 Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) Standard sustainability reporting guidelines, including the Construction and Real Estate Sector Supplement (“CRESS”). This report, once issued, can be found at www.morguard.com.

All information is presented as at December 31, 2019, unless otherwise indicated.

FELLOW STAKEHOLDERS

At Morguard, sustainability continued to be a strategic priority through 2019. Our commitment to the environment is

demonstrated by incorporating sustainable best practices throughout our organization and involving our stakeholders at

all levels. Sustainable Morguard is our company-wide sustainability program that structures our efforts and directs our

actions on environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies as well as on the performance of our properties.

As part of our corporate strategy, Sustainable Morguard and its related initiatives are integrated into our core values

that drive current business objectives, while also protecting the needs of future business opportunities, our environment,

our communities and our investors. Our ESG initiatives are leveraged enterprise-wide to identify opportunities and

expand the program.

Today, the program’s success is due in part to decreases in energy and water use, on-going green building certifications

and improved reporting transparency. Success does not come without some challenges. Extending our green building

certifications across our portfolio has been multifaceted and an area that requires improvement in 2020. Moving into

the next reporting year, our goal is to embrace a more integrated management approach to Morguard’s Corporate

Sustainability and Responsibility strategy and align operational efficiency with our climate change efforts. As a major

real estate organization in North America, we take this commitment seriously, not only for the health and wellbeing of

the communities we serve, but as a way of nurturing long-term value for our shareholders, clients, tenants and employees.

During 2019 Morguard’s employees, residents and tenants made important contributions to the communities where they

live and work. And as a result, we continue to receive recognition for our achievements, including building quality and

design, and an outstanding record of health and safety. I want to thank everyone for their passion and commitment to

Sustainable Morguard. You are making a positive impact by taking action every day.

Sincerely,

K. RAI SAHI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Morguard Corporation

Sustainable Morguard takes decisive action on the one thing that affects us all: our environment. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact. As a real estate industry leader with properties located throughout North America, our commitment to sustainability comes from our belief in environmental stewardship as a philosophy, and our understanding that

WE ARESUSTAINABLEREAL ESTATE ADVOCATES

Our planet. Our business. We believe environmental stewardship is essential for the health

of both. We speak from experience – we have seen that by making meaningful contributions

to our communities, we directly create greater value in our properties. Real estate is an integral

part not just of our society – where we live, work and shop – but of the environment in which

we all live. Through Sustainable Morguard, we are implementing innovative initiatives in all

aspects of our business.

Sustainable Morguard involves all our stakeholders – shareholders, tenants and

employees alike. A company-wide program, it’s a structured approach to environmental,

social and governance efforts that include:

• decreasing energy and water use

• reducing waste and emissions

• creating excellence in energy and environmental management to achieve green

building certifications

• collecting consistent data that tracks and validates our performance

• transparency in reporting

• driving new sustainability ideas and policies

WE BELIEVE IN CREATING SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS RETURNS

As advocates for sustainable business practices within the real estate industry, we support

our industry partners, promoting our own sustainability successes. Our goal – to create

positive change throughout our industry.

We see sustainability as a highly effective means to mitigate significant risks and increase

value at the same time. A strategic, responsible approach to sustainability is essential to

maintaining the long-term value of Morguard’s assets under management.

We focus on responsible property investment (“RPI”) and environmental, social and

governance (“ESG”) matters in many areas of our business. When we invest, we address

ESG risks and opportunities associated with owning and managing real property. When we

investigate a potential property acquisition, we perform comprehensive financial, physical

and environmental analysis – a range of environmental indicators that could contribute to risk,

efficiency, returns and value. Our goal is to improve our environmental risk analysis and add

value to our real estate assets.

Morguard head office is on the global

sustainability map. The office buildings at 33,

55, 77 and 201 City Centre Drive make up the

Mississauga City Centre office complex, home to

Morguard’s head office and other major tenants.

Built in 1972, the complex has undergone many

innovative sustainability programs and green-

focused retrofits. In recognition of these efforts,

BOMA awarded the complex with The Outstanding

Building of the Year (“TOBY”) award in 2019,

also qualifying it to join the 2020 BOMA

International Awards nominees.

Committed to multi-purpose impact. Up to 10 million

tons of corporate waste in North America end up in

landfills each year. To combat this alarming amount,

Morguard first partnered with Green Standards in 2014.

Since then, the partnership has resulted in diverting

the equivalent to reducing gasoline consumption by

21,726 gallons, growing 4,966 tree seedlings for 10 years

and offsetting electricity use from 27 homes for one

year. Local schools, churches and Habitat for Humanity

in Quebec have been beneficiaries of the diversion.

WE ARESUSTAINABLE BUILDINGOPERATORS

We work with our tenants to employ innovative solutions that simultaneously reduce costs as

well as our environmental footprint. The benefits are threefold: lower costs for tenants overall;

improved health, safety and welfare of employees, tenants and communities; and stronger

financial performance for the benefit of investors, tenants and shareholders. Altogether, it

enables us to deliver positive returns, provide better tenant experiences, and protect or

enhance portfolio value.

We’re committed to meeting our goals, and we take a number of steps to ensure we do such as:

• Monitoring our compliance with relevant environmental legislation.

• Identifying potential risks and implementing new policies and procedures with our

environmental management system comprising legislative compliance, best practices and

employee training.

• Employing ENVIRO LINK, our web portal that captures environmental work and assessments

performed at Morguard properties.

Green Link

Our proprietary GREEN LINK program, used by most of our commercial properties, targets

resource efficiency, waste reduction, interior environment quality and value creation. It requires

energy, waste and water audits and presents cost-saving initiatives such as lighting retrofits

and water use reductions. It also ensures that properties implement best practices for

long-term cost and risk reductions, enhanced tenant engagement and communication,

and additional external green building certification.

Tenant engagement

A Morguard lease typically includes green provisions to initiate a dialogue with tenants about

our shared efficiency objectives. Our goal is to increase our use of green provisions to meet

evolving industry best practices and our tenants’ needs. To engage tenants with sustainability

issues, Morguard uses property-level tenant satisfaction surveys that are conducted every

three years in conjunction with our BOMA BEST certification program. Survey results

have consistently shown that tenants expect a rigorous sustainability program from their

property management.

Energy Star Portfolio Manager

Energy Star benchmarks properties using a national standard that prioritizes necessary

capital upgrades and operational improvements. We successfully piloted the program in 2015.

At the end of 2019, 178 of our managed Canadian office, retail, industrial, hotel and

multi-residential properties, and U.S. multi-residential properties were participating in the

Energy Star Portfolio Manager program. Of those, 28 had an Energy Star score of 75 or

higher, which qualifies them for certification. During 2019, certification was completed

on seven properties.

WE ARESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPERS

The United Nations Environment Programme reports that buildings use about 40% of global

energy, 25% of global water and 40% of global resources and emit approximately 33% of all

greenhouse gas. Morguard is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our buildings

through a number of initiatives.

Morguard implements sustainable initiatives in every new development with the goal of

delivering meaningful services and amenities to the surrounding community. We also focus on

enhancing the performance and competitiveness of our existing portfolio to meet the highest

standards of environmental sustainability. We undertake green retrofit programs. And we work

with government authorities to incorporate and encourage transit-oriented projects throughout

North America.

Additionally, we continually seek to overcome many complex challenges to deliver best-in-

class real estate solutions, while creating greater value for our portfolio. The social benefits

and impact of these initiatives is clear, returning immense value to Morguard shareholders

and clients and creating a portfolio that is socially conscious and financially sound.

WE EMPOWEROUR PEOPLE

Sustainability is about more than just properties and the environment. It’s also about people.

Our people drive our business. We strive to create a workplace culture of respect, inclusion,

health, safety and equal opportunity. By empowering our people, we believe we can attract,

retain and engage the high-quality talent needed to drive business success and ultimately

achieve a sustainable company.

Our mandate is to ensure our people are engaged and productive, to hire and retain top talent,

and ensure that we value and create value for our employees. To meet the changing needs of

sustainable Human Capital Management (“HCM”) and continue to best support our people,

we are undertaking a corporate project to replace our existing HCM system. This will provide

full visibility to global key performance indicators that support growth and proper management

of our team. It’s an integral part of our people-focused strategy of finding and developing

the right leaders, embracing diversity and creating value for our people.

Our Code of Business Conduct addresses matters of equal opportunity and workplace

harassment. A concern for personal dignity and the individual worth of each person is an

indispensable element of the standards established under our Code. Morguard provides

equal employment opportunity to all qualified persons.

Morguard is committed to providing quality service to employees; to treat all individuals with

respect and individual attention; to encourage a culture and workplace where employees can

grow and take pride in their achievements. We offer programs to support this vision including

employee wellness, performance management, and learning and development.

WE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES

We strive to improve our local communities either by reducing the impact of our

developments or through localized philanthropy. We see it not only as our responsibility,

but as good business. Our employees’ community-building efforts have helped mitigate

related risks, reduce costs and, ultimately, ensure our properties remain valuable to their

respective communities.

WE LEAD BY EXAMPLE

As a landlord and a tenant, we strive to “walk the walk” in our corporate offices first, inspiring

our stakeholders to join us. We regularly pilot innovative sustainability initiatives in our own

offices before applying them in tenant spaces. And as a corporation, we demonstrate our

commitment to sustainability through compliance in environmental affairs and implementation

of responsible governance practices.

We actively work to reduce the environmental impacts of operations at our 13 corporate

offices across Canada and the U.S. By engaging our employees to do their part, they in turn

use the lessons learned to engage our tenants to make improvements. For example, we have

reduced our offices’ use of consumable supplies, kitchen and cleaning materials, catering and

composting as well as using refillable water cooler systems. Wherever possible, we use 100%

biodegradable items, locally sourced organic food for catering, and recyclable materials.

And we recently introduced a Sustainability Committee to help ensure we stay green.

Our environmental management system

For all Morguard properties, we monitor environmental compliance, identify potential risks,

and implement environmental policies and procedures using our Environmental Management

System (“EMS”). Our EMS incorporates policies, procedures and reporting related to

environmental legislative compliance, best practices and employee training. It’s tailored

to issues regarding PCBs, asbestos, CFCs, mould, storage tanks, tenant relations and

incident reporting.

A key component of our EMS is ENVIRO LINK – a web-based portal that is used to track all

work and assessments completed at every Morguard property by property management, our

Environmental Affairs group and third-party consultants.

Land contamination, remediation and compliance

Morguard believes in environmental compliance and best practices in safe land remediation,

the removal or treatment of toxic materials and hazardous waste, and the restoration of

natural environments. We commit significant resources to ensure that environmental matters

meet legislative compliance and the needs of our tenants, clients and community. In 2019,

the operating budget for our internal environmental team was approximately $1.14 million.

We take a precautionary approach to our sustainability activities. Where there are threats of

serious or irreversible damage, a lack of full scientific certainty will not be used as a reason

for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation or public harm.

We believe that taking this kind of active responsibility is vital to achieving sustainability. It

adds value to our properties, ensures that employees and tenants are safe, and demonstrates

a commitment to being a leading property manager. Our goal in leading by example is to

inspire others to join us on our sustainability journey.

Inspiration for healthy eating and upcycling. In 2019,

Morguard partnered with its Shoppers Mall tenant,

DAVIDsTEA in Brandon, Manitoba, to showcase how

upcycling old retail items can be a fun and sustainable

way to encourage healthy eating habits. Old tea tins

were collected and used as pots to plant fresh basil.

In addition to taking home their new basil plants to

be used for healthy home cooking, participants also

received a free cup of tea and were entered for a

chance to win a $100 Shoppers Mall gift card.
