Tanger Honored with Nareit's 2026 Leader in the Light Award for Transparency
Tanger® (NYSE:SKT), a leading owner and operator of outlet and other open-air retail shopping destinations, has received a 2026 Leader in the Light Award for Transparency from Nareit, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, in recognition of the Company's exceptional corporate governance practices.
Tanger achieved this recognition in its first year of participation in the long-standing, prestigious awards program. The Leader in the Light Awards recognize Nareit member REITs for demonstrating leadership in responsible business practices that create value and positively impact communities within their portfolios and across the REIT industry. The Transparency category recognizes REITs that demonstrate strong corporate governance and provide comprehensive and impactful decision-making information on the company's opportunities and risks, as determined through an independent panel of judges.
"This recognition is a reflection of our deep commitment to transparency and communication at every level of our company," said President and CEO Stephen Yalof. "Integrity has always been a foundation of our culture at Tanger, and I am incredibly proud of how the Tanger team diligently demonstrates that value on a daily basis across our operations. We are grateful to Nareit for this honor and remain committed to providing open communication to our stakeholders and to generating a positive impact for the communities in which we operate."
The Leader in the Light awardees were announced this week at Nareit's REITwise: 2026 Educational Conference. For 2026, Nareit recognized three REITs—at low, mid, and high total enterprise values—in each of three categories: Transparency, Operations, and Responsibility. Tanger was the mid-cap recipient in the Transparency category.
Tanger also earned the Nareit Investor CARE (Communications and Reporting Excellence) Gold Award in June 2024 and June 2025 and was named by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Culture, Belonging and Community 2026 and one of America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Women 2026.
