DUKE'S SUPPLIER DIVERSITY PROGRAM

|
Statement of Commitment
Duke Realty Corporation is committed to diversity in the workplace. We believe that by cultivating a culture that recognizes and values the differences that exist between people, we can become a stronger company that better understands the needs of its customers. |
An important component of our diversity initiative is our Supplier Diversity Program. Under this program, we reach out to qualified minority, women, disadvantaged, and small businesses to expand our base of high-quality goods and services providers, while enhancing economic opportunities for these groups.
In all of the communities where we do business, we want to share our success by working with historically underutilized businesses. We recognize that increasing the selection and participation of qualified minority, women, disadvantaged, and small businesses requires extra effort on the part of all of us. However, we believe that we must serve as an industry leader in this important undertaking, and we encourage every area of our business to support the Supplier Diversity effort that is being led by Corporate Procurement.

Chairman & CEO
