Tanger Achieves WELL Health-Safety Rating

Open-air outlet leader employed strategies to advance overall health and safety initiatives for shoppers and employees

Greensboro, N.C., Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT), a leading operator of upscale, open-air outlet centers, today announced it has achieved the International WELL Building Institute's (IWBI) WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility Operations and Management for all 36 properties in the company's portfolio.

"At Tanger, we know how important it is to build confidence that all our facilities are a safe place for communities to gather, and that we have policies and procedures that are designed to protect the well-being of our employees, retail partners and shoppers coming to the centers," said Leslie Swanson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Tanger. "We are proud to have earned this certification and look forward to continuing to find innovative ways to improve health and safety across Tanger locations."

Informed by the WELL Building Standard and more than 600 building and health scientists, practitioners, representatives from the business community and other experts, the WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility Operations and Management is a roadmap for driving resilience across both business policies and operational plans. This designation underscores Tanger's continuing commitment to be a safe and welcoming space for all.

Tanger used the WELL rating criteria to update its current policies and procedures across its national portfolio and at corporate headquarters. The nearly year-long process required inventory assessments as well as revisions to employee benefits, health resources, and operational protocols to ensure compliance across all centers.

The measures Tanger has taken to support health and safety are numerous and include creating enhanced sanitation procedures, implementing emergency preparedness programs, sharing health service resources, assessing air and water quality management and promoting health and well-being by cultivating a culture of health and safety through regular communications with stakeholders.

"Across the world, we've seen a massive dawning of awareness that our buildings and spaces can be a first line of defense against disease and enhance our resilience for the future. None of this would be possible without organizations like Tanger that have demonstrated commitment to people's health and safety by achieving the WELL Health Safety Rating across its centers and offices," said Rachel Hodgdon, President & CEO, IWBI. "This is a tremendous accomplishment, and I want to congratulate and thank Tanger for their significant contributions toward better buildings, more vibrant communities and stronger organizations."

The WELL Health-Safety seal will communicate a sense of confidence to all Tanger shoppers, employees, and brand partners that facilities are maintaining the most effective and up-to-date practices for safety and wellness. Tanger will continue to follow WELL guidelines and implement best-in-class procedures set by the organization each year.
