COUSINS PROPERTIES INC

We believe that Cousins should be a good corporate citizen, paying our “civic rent” through our philanthropic

commitments. Our employees regularly donate to local causes, participate in annual fundraising for local nonprofits, and

are actively involved in community-building activities such as Habitat for Humanity. This occurs not just at the corporate

office, but also at the property level, where we are actively involved in each community within which the Company has

made a significant investment. Together with our comprehensive wellness program and our commitment to a fair and

respectful workplace, we believe this commitment to service and integrity offers our employees many opportunities for

meaningful engagement and collaboration.

Community involvement is one of Cousins’ core values, and we are committed to giving back to our local communities

where we live and work. In 2024, Cousins focused its philanthropic activity around four key areas: providing an

introduction or overview to the real estate industry for high school and college students; education; affordable housing;

and community spaces. Our Company’s support was centered around CuzWeCare Week, a new initiative that supported

in-person volunteer activities and community involvement across our markets. Teams across the Company supported 8

non-profit organizations with a day of volunteerism and raised$84,700 in financial support. In 2024, Cousins employees

spent over 5,790 hours volunteering and giving back to our communities.

We are committed to providing transparent disclosure regarding our corporate social responsibility efforts, which are

integrated into our annual Corporate Responsibility reports. More detailed information, including our sustainability

strategy, key performance indicators, achievements, and historical corporate responsibility reports are available on our
