Regency Strives For A Sustainable Future
At Regency, we strive to do what is right and provide transparency about what we do. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) provide a best practice blueprint for advancing a sustainable future and reporting on initiatives and achievements. Our Corporate Responsibility Committee reviewed the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and determined that the five in this table align most closely with our program and strategies. We have set out our key activities to contribute to these Goals and further details follow in the body of this Report.
UN SDG REGENCY’S ACTIONS
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Our people are our most fundamental asset. We provide a comprehensive wellness program and benefits, and strive for a work environment that is safe and healthy. Our community partnerships are similarly focused on promoting health and wellbeing for all.
Regency is committed to advancing DEI. In 2020, Lisa Palmer, our President and CEO, made the CEO Pledge for diversity and inclusion and we began developing and implementing a robust three- year DEI strategy. We also awarded gifts to further gender equality through partners such as Generation W.
Center experience is a key focus at Regency. Our Operations team strives to make our centers safe, inclusive, dynamic environments for the surrounding neighborhoods and communities. In addition, we implement our green building standard, plan for resilience and drive sustainable resource use.
Responsible environmental stewardship and pursuing sustainable operations has always been a key component of our Corporate Responsibility Program. We have ambitious long-term goals, with annual targets, to reduce our environmental impact. In 2021, we plan to develop a target and strategy for net-zero Greenhouse Gas emissions.
Climate change is a significant issue for our nation and our planet. Our environmental targets demonstrate our commitment to combat climate change. We have undertaken a comprehensive analysis of the potential risks to our properties and business and are updating our Strategic Plan accordingly.
