Tanger has committed to achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, a commitment announced in 2023 based on an intention set in 2022. The company has made foundational progress towards this goal, including an enterprise-wide utility analysis, a sub-meter pilot programme in Columbus, OH, and the procurement of assured green power at five centres. In 2023, their solar capacity generated 9.3 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of onsite renewable electricity, contributing to an overall net reduction in GHG emissions per square foot of their gross leasable area (GLA). Additionally, Tanger has expanded its Electric Vehicle charging programme and implemented other operational GHG reduction initiatives such as responsible procurement, waste management, LED retrofits, building efficiency, and roof replacements. In 2017, the company reported a decrease of almost 4% in GHG emissions per square foot.
