FINAL THOUGHTS & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It’s remarkable to observe how vital our prosperous Regional Town Centers are to the heart of the communities we serve. That’s why, from Philadelphia to Santa Monica and from Phoenix to New York City, we take seriously our responsibility to manage the natural resources we use.

Our employees, retailers and customers rely on Macerich to create properties with purpose where people come to shop, dine, play, work and work out, laugh and gather, and equip themselves for day-to-day activities and once-in-alifetime occasions. Behind the scenes, we continuously explore investments we can make in our assets, partnerships and technology with a focus on strong environmental and economic returns.

In 2022, we took significant, affirmative steps on our path of carbon neutrality, including increasing the number of hard energy assets we own and executing renewable utility procurement agreements. We are elated that over one-third of our total energy consumption portfolio-wide now comes from clean and renewable resources!

Key to achieving our ambitious 2030 goal will be the work of MacImpact, the cross-disciplinary, employee-led task force that oversees and guides our ESG promise. We are excited about the insights this dedicated group will deliver in 2023 and in years to come.

We recognize all Macerich employees’ contributions to our continued ESG progress in 2022; the following people provided direct assistance with this report:

Mia Czarnecki • Maggie Emmons • Samantha Greening • Kurt Ivey • Ryan Knudson • David Lee • Karen Maurer • Melissa McCann • Kelly Meyers • Mechelle Peters • Katherine Smart • Adele Wiebke

Additionally, we would like to thank our external partners at KS Communications and Panzano & Partners for their help telling our story, and Brightworks Sustainability for collecting and reviewing our environmental data.

If you would like to further discuss Macerich, our goal toward carbon neutrality or any part of our ESG journey, please reach out to any member of our team.
