The company’s overall score ranked first in the most competitive peer group in the U.S. and scored highest on its Public Disclosure Assessment

Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) announced today that it achieved the highest possible Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) 5 Star Rating for the fourth consecutive year with a score of 92. ESRT additionally received a score of 96 and an “A” rating in the Public Disclosure Assessment that measures ESG disclosure activities. ESRT’s overall score ranked first of all 115 listed companies in the Americas, first in the most competitive peer group within the U.S, and scored the highest on its Public Disclosure Assessment.

“At ESRT, our industry-leading work focuses on the ‘how’ and our best-in-class results in sustainability, energy efficiency, and healthy buildings speak for themselves,” said Anthony E. Malkin, ESRT chairman, president, and CEO. “Our entire company is focused on four priorities: points on the board in leasing, Empire State Building Observatory performance, sustainability, and balance sheet management. Our efforts deliver value to our stakeholders with our future-ready New York City portfolio of office, destination attraction, retail, and residential.”

GRESB is a rigorous standard that assesses and benchmarks the ESG performance of real assets and provides standardized and validated sustainability data to capital markets.

ESRT achieved carbon neutrality across its commercial portfolio in January 2022 and continues to work toward its target of net zero carbon emissions with an 80% reduction in operational emissions at the Empire State Building by 2030 and throughout the portfolio by 2035.
