As CEO of Investa, I am proud to look back on FY16 as a year of challenge, growth, and ultimately colossal achievement.

It’s with great pride that we release our FY16 Sustainability Report. As CEO of Investa, I am proud to look back on FY16 as a year of challenge, growth and ultimately colossal achievement. Our accomplishments this year are a clear demonstration of our ambitions to continually reset the benchmark in customer service, performance and leadership in the office market nationally. It’s been a year of significant evolution for us, successfully navigating a new business structure and welcoming a new long term owner. With this new ownership, comes fresh opportunity to grow and thrive as the First Choice in Australian Office.

Our customer centric approach continued to deliver significant outcomes for our tenants, with the INSITE tenant engagement program and portal now embedded in 13 assets nationally. Our continued focus on innovation saw the initial roll out of the SAMBA (Sentient Ambient Monitoring of Buildings in Australia) device in partnership with the University of Sydney. SAMBA data enables us to work with our tenants directly to enhance the comfort of their

employees by improving the indoor environment quality, contributing to enhanced productivity and employee engagement.

Building upon the successes of SAMBA and INSITE, Invesa continues to address our environmental impact and this year, we are thrilled to announce another 3% reduction on our emissions intensity statistic. This takes us to a total 56% reduction since 2004, when as a first mover in the industry, we began recording our data. FY16 was a significant year for action on climate change, with the Paris Agreement1 convening 196 countries to commit to a 2 degree future. In response, Investa developed a bespoke carbon reduction strategy and committed to set, science based targets to achieve our objectives.

Long-term diligence and innovation in environmental management continues to pay financial and environmental dividends for our tenants and investors. At Investa, we pride ourselves on our responsible investment credentials, and once again we’ve delivered outstanding results. Both IOF

and ICPF were again rated Green Stars by the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), and IOF was one of two ASX listed funds to be recognised on CDP’s Climate Leadership A-List.

We have continued to build working partnerships to expand our influence and impact. Our collaboration with partners in the Australian Business Roundtable for Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities continued to advocate to government for cost-effective resilience solutions. Our ongoing partnership with the Sir David Martin Foundation enabled fund raising of $265,000 to assist Triple Care Farm, an award winning residential rehabilitation facility for youth at risk.

I’m incredibly proud of our achievements across the business this year, and am very much looking forward to the evolution of Investa in FY17.

Investa continues to promote flexible work arrangements with over two thirds of employees enjoying flexibility – either through formally arranged channels, or informally agreed to with managers at work. Research conducted by the World Green Building Council and the British Council for Offices has found that flexible working helps staff feel more in control of their workload, and engenders trust and loyalty, thus resulting in increased productivity. The comfort of our staff at their place of work is incredibly important to Investa and we will continue to promote these practices to ensure all staff are able to work productively and effectively.

OUR BUSINESS

| || || || |

Investa employees and our families are fully engaged in volunteering programmes to support our communities across Australia.

A particular focus for Investa is homelessness in our communities, and in FY16 we have sought to partner with organisations such as the Sir David Martin Foundation and the Property Industry Foundation to have a positive impact on the cities in which we work. In addition to our partnerships, our teams select programmes that matter to them, such as Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, The Salvation Army and Earth Hour. Collectively we raised over $159,000 to support charity programmes in our community. Beyond our own fundraising, we were able to work with our partners to enable over $265,000 of additional donations.

The Red Shield Appeal helps The Salvation Army to assist more than one million people a year, providing food vouchers for families in crisis, education for youths at risk, accommodation for homeless, recovery programs for people battling addictions, emergency services when disasters strike and telephone counselling for people in distress.

Investa directly supported the launch of the Red Shield Appeal in Brisbane. We look forward to supporting the Red Shield Appeal launch again on March 29th 2017.

PIF’s mission is to make a tangible difference to the serious and persistent problem of youth homelessness by partnering with respected charities to build safe environments and support charity managed initiatives focused on education, employment and wellbeing. This year, Investa continued to support several PIF events including the regatta, Property Ball, and National Hard Hat campaign to contribute >$54,000. Investa has directly raised >$300,000 since 2014 for PIF.

Launched in 2007, Earth Hour is now celebrated in over 172 countries and over 7,000 cities and towns worldwide. Investa continues to support Earth Hour to increase awareness around climate change and the need for energy efficiency. Every year we work with our tenants to ‘switch off for good’, not just for one hour to blacken the city. On March 16th, we switched off the lights, and saved 21 tonnes of carbon.

EARTH HOUR

After a successful event in 2014, Investa was proud to again partner with the Sir David Martin Foundation to support the Investa Abseil for Youth fundraiser at 1 Market Street, Sydney. The Sir David Martin Foundation is a non-profit organisation that supports a range of projects assisting young people in overcoming drug and alcohol addictions.

Now in its seventh year, Abseil for Youth has raised over $1.7 million in funding to run the Triple Care Farm, a holistic treatment center for youths affected by drug abuse and mental illness.

This year, our event enabled the foundation to raise more than $265,000. Triple Care Farm not only helps the young people, but also their families, friends and broader communities.

2015 represented a landmark moment in the global response to climate change, with 196 Nations gathering in Paris to negotiate the world’s first global agreement committing to curb carbon emissions. With the largest gathering of Heads of State since the conclusion of the Second World War, Parties committed to limit global warming to a maximum of 2°C above pre-industrial levels, pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C.

Investa Sustainability Coordinator, Ian Lieblich attended the Conference where the business community, and in particular those representing the built environment, had a strong presence. The Conference was the first of its kind to hold a Buildings Day, a day dedicated to the impact the built environment can have on reducing global emissions.

The business community has begun to shift towards low carbon investment, headlined by collaborations such as the Breakthrough Energy Coalition and Green Infrastructure Investment Coalition, featuring some of the world’s wealthiest entrepreneurs and financial institutions, committing to financing low carbon activities.

Investa is determined to going above and beyond existing expectations, committing to setting a Science Based Emissions Reduction Target in line with the climate science needed to achieve a 2°C future.

The notion that the global economy is at loggerheads with the environment has been firmly dismissed by the Paris Agreement. Considering Investa’s proud history having already reduced carbon emissions intensity by 56% since 2004, we are excited about this transition to a low-carbon economy and look forward to our continued leadership in the ESG space.

This year Investa commenced a programme to define a carbon reduction strategy. Spurred by the impact of COP21, Investa sought to produce an appropriate response, ensuring we remain a sector leader and an attractive global investment option in a low carbon economy.

Simultaneously, the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council facilitated an industry wide research piece1 on the capability of the property industry to meet the requirements of the Paris agreements. Concluding that the entire Australian property industry is capable of achieving a carbon neutral position by 2050, the report provided Investa with a level of confidence in setting a carbon reduction strategy.

Investa is broadly recognised for clear and transparent reporting, and consistently delivered results. Our proven track record of a 57% emissions intensity reduction on 2004 levels demonstrates a long term commitment to efficiency and reducing our impact. This identifiable characteristic led the team to seek a scientific framework to set carbon reduction targets.

Science Based Carbon Reduction Targets2 are a framework supported by the Carbon Disclosure Project, UN Global Compact, WWF and the World Resources Institute. Targets adopted by companies to reduce CO2 emissions are considered “science-based” if they are in line with the level of decarbonisation

required to keep global temperature increases below 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures.

Science Based Targets offer several frameworks to model an organisation’s pathway. Investa has committed to set, and is currently working through the framework to define authentic science based targets, supported by a work plan of carbon reduction programmes. To achieve our targets, we intend to focus on operational efficiency, building materiality, energy production and energy procurement.

Investa continues to work with The University of Sydney’s Indoor Environmental Quality Lab to develop ground-breaking new technology that will track indoor climate within Australian workplaces. Built on revolutionary sensor technology, The University of Sydney’s SAMBA (Sentient Ambient Monitoring of Buildings in Australia) device was developed to capture a range of parameters including air temperature, radiant

heat, air movement, humidity, light, sound, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, along with various pollutants emitted from building materials, such as volatile organic compounds.

Investa’s cornerstone research partnership is currently being trialled in one building in Sydney, and will be rolled out as more units become available.

Since 2012, the Australian Business Roundtable for Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities has generated research to advocating to government for the prioritisation of mitigation expenditure in Australia, to further the national interest and achieve an improved economic return.

During FY16 the Roundtable produced two concurrent white papers focusing on the total social

costs of natural disaster and advocating for the integration of resilience planning into federal and state infrastructure investment.

The Roundtable was acknowledged with a Certificate of Distinction in the prestigious 2015 United Nations Sasakawa Awards for Risk Reduction in Japan in March 2015, the first private sector group to do so in the 29 year history of the awards.

Optimising operational performance

FINE TUNING AT 120 COLLINS ST

Significant energy saving strategies have been implemented at premium grade Melbourne asset 120 Collins St, resulting in a 10% electricity saving when compared to FY15.

These savings are the result of building control upgrades implemented by the asset’s management team. Additionally, LED lighting has been used in refurbished base building areas providing energy efficient lighting for tenants in the building’s common areas. Acting in conjunction with the continual fine tuning of building management systems, including the replacement of main supply air fan motors, these efficiencies have delivered considerable financial savings to tenants via reduced energy bills.

FIVE STARS FOR 126 PHILLIP ST

Investa’s flagship asset 126 Phillip St has achieved a 12% reduction in electricity use when compared to the previous 12 months, with the building emitting 430 fewer tonnes of CO2 during FY16 compared to FY15.

These savings are due to bespoke strategies aimed at saving energy and reducing operational costs. LED lighting was installed in all base building areas throughout the building, including motion sensor lighting in the building’s fire stairs resulting in significant savings. All plant equipment has been adjusted to reduce consumption, with the static pressure in all air handling units reduced, thus slowing fan speeds and resulting in lower energy usage.

A combination of the above has resulted in 126 Phillip St achieving a 5.0 Star NABERS Energy Rating for the first time in the building’s lifecycle.

STRATEGIC UPGRADES AT 400 GEORGE ST

Another building awarded an enhanced NABERS Energy Rating was 400 George St in Sydney. The recently renovated asset has upgraded both its Building Monitoring and Control System (BMCS) and Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems, with ongoing management of Outcome Base Servicing being able to pinpoint specific building maintenance requirements

Additionally, static pressure resets on Air Handling Units have allowed the building management team to modulate air pressures and chiller water temperatures feeding into Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units, resulting in less energy being used to condition the asset.

The result has been a significant reduction in energy consumption, with the asset reducing its total carbon footprint by 13%.

FOOTPRINT

EMISSIONS BY RESOURCE

Environmental footprint

KEY:

C: Not reported as management control of the building is assigned to the tenant under the terms of the lease

D: Gas is not used at this site

E: Excludes assets not owned/managed for the duration of the reporting period, including buildings under construction

H: Not reported as externally managed and outside of operational control

AUSTRALIAN PORTFOLIO ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE STATISTICSIn addition to recording intensity

statistics, Investa supplies footprint data, representing the total environmental footprint of the assets under management. The total emissions of the group have then been broken down into resource use, allowing tenants and investors to better gauge the source of the carbon emissions resulting from Investa’s portfolios.
