SIMON SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021

MAKINGOURCENTERSRESILIENT CENTERS ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL At Simon, we aim to create sustainable centers for all our customers, no matter their background or physical or mental limitations.

Simon centers provide accessibility solutions for our shoppers and all regular occupants. We’ve added a feature to our interactive directory maps that, when selected, shows wayfinding routes that use ramps and elevators instead of stairs and escalators. Our interactive digital directories, which are accessible and multilingual in four languages, also come to life when a shopper comes within a few feet of the 65” LCD, full HD touch screen. We have also included the locations of many handicapped parking space areas on our maps and within our interactive directories, as well as a special wheelchair mode that shifts the entire directory down to a lower height and makes it easier for someone in a wheelchair to use. Our apps and websites list which centers offer complimentary wheelchairs to assist shoppers planning a visit to the mall.

For our online visitors, we’ve remediated many of our websites to achieve conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, which provides guidance on how to enable content to be more accessible to people with disabilities, including visually impaired shoppers.
