Company debuts new sustainability report outlining ESG commitment

The 2020 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) results are in and Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE: TCO) has been named the Retail/Americas Sector Leader for its outstanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) leadership.

Each year, GRESB assesses and benchmarks the ESG performance of real assets worldwide. The GRESB Assessments are guided by what investors and the industry consider to be material issues in the sustainability performance of real asset investments. The assessments are aligned with international reporting frameworks, goals and emerging regulations.

“For generations, Taubman has been working diligently to ensure that we maintain a standard of excellence in all we do, and our environmental, social and governance efforts are a top priority,” said Robert Taubman, the company’s chairman, president and CEO. “We are honored to receive the Sector Leader distinction this year.”

The 2020 ESG benchmark covers more than $5.3 trillion in real asset value, giving clarity and direction to the real asset investment market as a means to address complex sustainability challenges. GRESB data is used by hundreds of capital providers and thousands of asset managers to benchmark investments across portfolios and understand the opportunities, risks and choices that need to be made as the industry transitions to a more sustainable future.

“We reduced energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increased waste diversion last year,” said Taubman’s Facilities, Energy and Sustainability Director Steve Moore. “It is very gratifying that in just over a decade, we have reduced controllable electrical consumption at our U.S. malls by 40 percent.”

More information on Taubman’s ESG efforts can be found in the company’s newly released sustainability report located in the Investors section of taubman.com.
