Materiality. This Regency Centers Corporate Responsibility Report aims to present a balanced and concise analysis of our management and performance related to material issues.

1. Identification. Material issues can impact our company’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives and remain commercially sustainable, as well as socially and environmentally responsible. We identify material issues through gathering investor feedback, performing environmental impact studies, and conducting surveys of employees, tenants, partners, vendors, board members, and others including peer benchmarking.

The following areas are identified as material to our stakeholders and our business: Our People Employee engagement Diversity, equal opportunity, and non-discrimination Health and safety Training and education Human rights
