Extra Space Wins Nareit Sustainability Award for Third Consecutive Year

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Extra Space Storage (NYSE: EXR) continues to lead the self-storage industry for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. For the third year in a row, Extra Space Storage was named by Nareit as a Leader in the Light. Extra Space is the only self-storage company to be recognized in the award's 17-year history.

Nareit's annual Leader in the Light award honors real estate companies that have demonstrated superior and sustained sustainability practices throughout the year. Winners of the award are companies who are setting the example for how REITs can institutionalize ESG within their business. In addition to Extra Space Storage, companies like Vornado Realty Trust, Ventas, Inc., Prologis, Inc., and Kimco Realty Corporation were recognized.

"The advancement of sustainability in all of its facets, including environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance is a core component of the REIT and publicly traded real estate industry and is increasingly vital to communities and investors," said Nareit President and CEO Steven A. Wechsler. "We applaud our members' continued commitment to navigating their business strategies and practices through a sustainability lens."

Leader in the Light is awarded based on the results of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) as well as the company's strategy as shared in supplemental questions. GRESB measures ESG performance of over 1,500 real estate companies worldwide. Extra Space once again achieved an A rating for GRESB Public Disclosure, well above the global and peer averages. The company maintained its three green star rating from GRESB.

Highlights from the year's reporting includes a 14.8 percent reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions per square foot, a $17.7 million investment in solar power for the year, and multiple awards for being a "best place to work". Extra Space Storage is committed to running a company that is built to last and investing in ongoing efforts to improve the sustainability of its operations through ESG best practices. More details are shared in the company's annual sustainability report
