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.

2. Assessment.

We assessed the extent that material issues could impact our business and their importance to our stakeholders. While these topics were relevant to our own operations, many were found to be relevant to upstream stakeholders (primarily investors and suppliers), to downstream stakeholders (primarily our tenants, their customers and our communities) or, in some cases, to both.

3. Focus Areas.

Material topics arising from our assessment inform the basis for the content of this report. For clarity, these topics have been organized into categories as outlined to the right:
