Simon Sustainability Report 2021

SIMON SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021

SUSTAINABLENEWPROPERTIES To ensure Simon adds new sustainable properties to its portfolio, we have updated our sustainable development guidelines to incorporate energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable sourcing, and expected community socioeconomic impact of every major redevelopment of the property. During the construction, we utilize these guidelines to collaborate with local stakeholders to ensure health and safety standards are in place, pollution is minimized or avoided, and construction waste is sorted and recycled. We have also updated our procurement guidelines and incorporated an ESG due diligence checklist that is used in connection with considering any new acquisition of super-regional malls. During the acquisition phase, we use this checklist to assess every property on its energy efficiency, climate impact, socioeconomic contributions, health and safety aspects, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
