NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RPT Realty (NYSE: RPT) (“RPT” or the “Company”), a publicly-traded owner and operator of open-air shopping centers, announced today that it made meaningful progress towards its Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) and sustainability goals as measured by the 2022 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (“GRESB”) Real Estate Assessment. GRESB is a mission-driven and industry-led organization providing standardized and validated ESG data to financial markets.

“In a short period, we have evolved our mindsets, organizational behaviors and vision to create an actionable sustainability strategy that will help protect and create value for our stakeholders, while being good stewards of our communities and our employees. While we are pleased with this year’s recognition, our focus remains on positioning the company for a more sustainable future,” said Brian Harper, President and CEO.
