SITE Centers Issues 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report

SITC

SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE:SITC), an owner of open-air shopping centers in suburban, high household income communities, announced today the release of its 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR) which is the Company’s tenth sustainability report and eighth completed in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. The report provides an annual update on SITE Centers’ corporate responsibility and sustainability programs and was completed in alignment with GRI, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The full report can be found at https://www.sitecenters.com/2023CSR.

“2023 was a year of strategic change for SITE Centers highlighted by the announced planned spin-off of the Company’s Convenience portfolio into a separate publicly-traded REIT to be named Curbline Properties Corp. (“Curbline Properties”). The announcement, along with substantial transaction activity during 2023, including $877 million (at SITC share) of dispositions and $165 million (at SITC share) of acquisitions, position both SITE Centers and Curbline Properties to execute on their respective business plans at the time of the expected spin-off on or around October 1, 2024,” said David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the strategic announcement and dramatic change in the underlying property portfolio, the Company was able to advance initiatives and programs commenced in prior years, and start new ones, as we invest in our employees, properties, and communities to position for the future.”

2023 Report Highlights Include:

  • Reduced Scope 1 emissions by 24% and Scope 2 emissions by 34% since 2019 on a same-property basis.
  • Reduced landlord-controlled electricity consumption by 25% since 2019 on a same-property basis driven, in part, by the conversion of 59% of SITE Centers owned and managed common area lighting to LED.
  • Reduced landlord-controlled irrigation by 16% since 2019 on a same-property basis driven, in part, by the installation of smart sub-metering to track usage and detect leaks and waste.
  • Launched our Mentor Advisory Program (MAP) to support the growth of emerging leaders and increased training hours per employee by 9% from 2022.
  • Maintained ISS Governance Quality Score of 1.

2023 Recognition and Awards Include:

  • Included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (“GEI”) comprised of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting and which have exhibited performance on specific gender-data metrics.
  • Rated “Green Star” by GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) for sustainability benchmark results with an above-average rating relative to the peer group with respect to the level of public ESG disclosures.
  • Recognized as a Gold Green Lease Leader by the U.S. Department of Energy and The Institute for Market Transformation for the Company’s development and implementation of green leases.
