Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]The Dexus Sustainability Approach, including our climate change strategy, informs how we create long-term value through understanding and addressing ESG issues that are relevant to our operations. We consider sustainability to be an integral part of our business with the objectives of Leading Cities, Future Enabled Customers, Strong Communities, Thriving People and an Enriched Environment supporting our overarching goal of Sustained Value. Our day-to-day activities are coordinated by the Dexus Sustainability Team in consultation with the Asset Services Team. The Sustainability Team meets monthly with minutes distributed to key internal stakeholders. And the Sustainability Team reports to the Corporate Executive Committee and the Board ESG Committee, which monitor the team's activities for consistency against strategic objectives. These Committees' objectives are to assist the Dexus Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by reviewing the group's operational risk management, sustainability practices, and procedures including our climate change strategy. The Investor Relations, Communications and Sustainability Team coordinates and oversees the publication of all external documents. And a formal, structured process, involving a materials approvals database, is applied for the review and approval of all announcements, presentations and publications by the relevant internal subject matter experts. The Investor Relations, Communications and Sustainability Team determines key spokespeople, who have undergone media training, to engage in public debate or comment on specific topics, including communicating our climate change strategy.
