###### Our commitment to ESG excellence relies on strong oversight and accountability
RioCan relies on a collaborative team to manage its ESG program.
Our SVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, oversees the
program, ensuring ESG initiatives are prioritized and properly
resourced across the company.
At the Board level, the dedicated Nominating, Environmental,
Social and Governance Committee ("NESGC") – previously known
as the Nominating and Governance Committee – oversees the Trust's
strategy, policies and practices with respect to all ESG matters,
including those related to climate change.
The ESG Council is composed of a cross-functional executive and
organizational leadership team that oversees ESG strategy and
implementation and drives performance improvements.
Council members sponsor and provide guidance on ESG initiatives
within the organization and enable performance measurement.
###### Climate Committee
In 2021, RioCan established a cross-functional Climate Committee,
which consists of subject matter experts from all related business
functions. Chaired by the SVP, General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary, this committee is mandated to embed climate considerations
within our organizational objectives. The committee will ensure that our
priorities, input and achievement towards both long- and short-term
climate-related goals are fully aligned.
