Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policy 2 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) POLICY 1 HOTEL WEST HOLLYWOOD WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA INTRODUCTION 3 The purpose of this Policy is to set out the environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles that we take into account in the course of operating our company, evaluating investments and managing assets for the funds that we sponsor. We believe that good governance practices and responsible corporate behavior contribute to the long-term success of companies, and are critical to well-functioning markets. We also believe that strong corporate governance helps reduce investment risk and ensures that investor capital is used effectively. Starwood Capital Group is proud to be both carbon neutral and a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment. The following reflects the principles that guide us and the goals that we strive to achieve. 4 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) POLICY ENVIRONMENTAL As a core philosophy, Starwood Capital Group is committed to responsible investing through environmental sustainability, as well as responsible community development. The commitment to environmentally responsible investments starts with our acquisition team. Starwood Capital Group conducts rigorous reviews before acquiring properties to ensure clean environmental backgrounds. Starwood Capital Group’s Investment Committee reviews the due diligence performed by our in-house acquisitions team, and our legal team works with transaction counsel, local counsel and third parties (environmental consultants, architects, etc.) to identify any potential environmental issues and request additional due diligence when necessary. At Starwood Capital Group, we do not just look at real estate as it is today—we see it as it could be. This philosophy extends to our approach to environmentally responsible investing. Instead of accepting the status quo that says conservation is a secondary concern when managing property, we are committed to setting a new standard for the private equity industry. SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE OFFICES AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES Starwood Capital Group’s eco-conscious approach to investing includes office and residential properties around the world.
