20 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2022 PILLAR 1: HUMAN CENTRIC ESR Bucheon Logistics Park, South Korea People are Our Greatest Asset Championing mental health and well-being within the industry — ESR Australia continues its partnerships with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds The health and well-being of workers within the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries continue to be a priority for ESR Australia. Through our ongoing partnership with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS), we delivered a consistent message to our stakeholders on the importance of mental health awareness. ESR Australia actively promotes the understanding of mental health well-being and awareness with our stakeholders by fostering on-site discussions utilising expert tools provided by HHTS. One of the key milestone events was the inaugural “R U OK? Day in Trucks and Sheds” held in May 2022. Through the continued use of digital channels, a broader customer base was reached to help spread critical messages that were significant to this cause. This encompassed promoting healthy eating and fostering a health-conscious lifestyle. For the upcoming year, ESR Australia remains committed to continuing the partnership. This includes participation in the HHTS Roadshow and a touring mental health outreach programme to organise visits to our estates by a team of mental health professionals providing attentive on-site support. The planned initiatives continue to help support the wider business focus on delivering estates that put people first and allow others to thrive. ESR’s efforts in building awareness on critical health and safety issues to owners and operators have been recognised. In South Korea, 24 assets representing approximately 1.8 million sqm have achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). The WELL Health-Safety Rating entails a third-party review process, including evaluation of cleaning and sanitisation procedures, emergency preparedness programmes, air and water quality management, stakeholder engagement and communication and innovation. This certification demonstrates our commitment to the health and well-being of our tenants. We believe in the sharing of best practices across our regions and continue to strive for achieving additional WELL Health-Safety Rating certifications or equivalents in other regions as well. We also seek to comply with all local health and safety regulations and safety training requirements.
