COUSINS PROPERTIES INC

We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. Our priorities include attracting, developing, and retaining

the best talent, fostering an inclusive culture, and embracing diversity. Our employees are the foundation of our success,

and we strive to have a workforce that reflects the diversity of qualified talent that is available in the markets we serve.

We are also committed to diversity at the Board level. Our Board will consider diversity, including gender, race, and

ethnicity, when considering nominations to the Board and will endeavor to include candidates who reflect diverse

backgrounds in the qualified pool from which new director candidates are selected as the Board undergoes periodic

Board refreshment. The Board’s objective is to have a Board comprised of individuals who by occupation, background,

skills, and experience can make a strong, positive contribution to the Company and its stockholders.

Key diversity highlights include:

•33% of our Directors are women, including our Chair of the Audit Committee. 11% of our Board are minorities.

•We have several women in key management roles, including the EVP & Chief Investment Officer, the EVP & General

Counsel, and an SVP & Associate General Counsel. As of December 31, 2023, 44% of the supervisors at the

Company were women.

•As of December 31, 2023, 39% of the workforce were women.

•As of December 31, 2023, 44% of the workforce self-identified as a minority; and 25% of the supervisors self-

Cousins, in partnership with Drew Charter School (a Title I Atlanta Public School, whose student body is predominately

minority), created the Cousins Scholars Program in 2020 to introduce more disadvantaged students to the commercial

real estate industry and to familiarize these students with the breadth of career opportunities in real estate, including

through our internship program. In 2023, we welcomed a scholar to our internship program, along with two interns from

NAIOP’s (the Commercial Real Estate Development Association) Career Diversity Internship Program, an an intern

through Univeristy of North Carolina - Chapel Hill’s Real Estate Diversity Initiative Program. These interns gained

experience with the investments, asset management, and development teams, while also receiving exposure to our

leasing teams. We also hosted students participating in NAIOP’s Developing Leader and Summer Intern Group for a

focused day touring our newest Tampa asset, Heights Union, and participation in guided discussion regarding building

operations.
