Summary

Realty Income performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with significant gaps in its sustainability reporting exposing the company to considerable risks. The company should conduct a materiality assessment to identify and prioritise its most relevant sustainability topics and use these to publish a comprehensive sustainability strategy. It should also appoint a dedicated person, team or committee to oversee the execution of its sustainability strategy.

Further, the company should establish a clear process to identify human rights risks and impacts at specific locations or in activities carried out through its business relationships. On the environmental front, the company should report and focus its efforts on addressing energy efficiency, waste reduction, water withdrawal and disaster risk preparedness, including emergency response and recovery plans. Additionally, it should set time-bound targets to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions and commit to zero ecosystem conversion of protected areas. By addressing these gaps, Realty Income can significantly improve its sustainability performance, align with industry best practices and enhance long-term business resilience.
