Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder Engagement and Materiality

Communication with Stakeholders

Prosperity REIT believes that stakeholders’ opinions are catalysts to the continuous improvement of our business. As such, we have been engaging our stakeholders, including unitholders, tenants, vendors, service providers, suppliers, employees and the local community.

Communication with Unitholders

Continuous support from unitholders is integral to the success of an investment trust. We proactively communicate with our unitholders regularly and effectively on our financial and ESG performance to ensure transparent and fair corporate governance and to build trusty relationships.

Materiality Assessment

With the aim to shape our long-term sustainability strategy, materiality analysis was conducted to better understand the ESG issues that are critical to Prosperity REIT. We performed a four-step process in assessing the materiality of the issues, from identification of issues and prioritization, to validation and review. Based on the list of material issues held prior, modifications were made after thorough consideration through in-depth discussions with stakeholder representatives and benchmarking against industry peers’ material issues. A final assessment was conducted to validate and refine the list of issues that would arrive at the Board for approval. The material issues are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure their relevance to both the business and our stakeholders.
