INTEGRATION OF ESG PRACTICES & SOLUTIONS Building Internal Capabilities Every member of our company needs to understand and integrate relevant ESG considerations in their respective role. Thus, all DigitalBridge professionals are trained annually on ESG issues. In 2020, all employees participated in a customized session that detailed the company’s approach to ESG integration, how ESG consider- ations are embedded in our investment process and the potential impacts of climate change on digital infrastructure. This training was designed to equip our investment professionals to fully participate in the ESG integration process.
