Our approach to responsible contracting begins with the integration of ESG considerations into the supplier onboarding process. We require a mandatory ratification of our Vendor Code of Conduct for 100% of our vendors, which includes compliance with environmental regulations and a commitment to sustainability. During our supplier assessments, we ensure that they fully comply with our Code of Conduct and seek to ensure no incidents of child labor or forced labor in their workforce. Our checkpoints include screening of vendor employees, awareness sessions and also through periodic consultation forums.

Value Chain Responsibility and Sustainability

We believe that our success is deeply connected to the performance of our suppliers. Therefore, we have implemented measures to ensure that our supply chain is fully integrated into our ESG practices. This includes a focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, environmental stewardship, and the health, safety, and well-being of our teams.

SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND RATING

Our key supplier partners receive regular ESG training and are evaluated monthly on climate performance metrics. The metrics include energy reduction, emissions reduction, waste and water reduction, biodiversity & horticulture coverage, and health, safety & well-being. Performance is reviewed by senior management, and an SLA-based incentive fee encourages suppliers to achieve stretch goals.

SUPPLIER MEETS

We conduct supplier meets frequently to facilitate the sharing of best practices among our critical supplier groups. These meetings provide an opportunity to educate them on Brookfield India REIT's ESG practices and expectations, and to discuss how we can support their sustainability efforts through collaboration.

SUSTAINABILITY SELF-ASSESSMENTQUESTIONNAIRE

We are collaborating with key suppliers on a sustainability questionnaire to selfassess and document their GHG emissions, supporting our commitment to becoming Net Zero by 2040 or sooner.

Responsible Collaboration for Sustainable Growth

Our engagement with suppliers aims to foster growth and ensure that they evolve alongside us. Our Supplier Code of Conduct, General Conditions of Contract (GCC), and Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) are required to be agreed upon before awarding any contract. These documents require suppliers to comply with all applicable environmental rules, laws, and regulations and are aligned with Brookfield India REIT’ vision, commitments, and ESG targets.

By adhering to Brookfield India REIT's code of conduct and ESG practices, our suppliers enable a long-term relationship based on mutual trust and shared goals. This engagement also facilitates the transformation of their own organizations into process-oriented entities.
