Sustainability Creating Properties with Purpose.

We continue our progress toward industry-leading environmental goals to meet the needs of our communities we serve and honor our financial responsibility.

Our Commitment

We operate properties that “walk the walk” in stewarding our natural resources for our guests, investors, tenants, industry partners, employees, communities and the planet.

That is why we are committed to our goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030. To learn more about our progress and our consideration of double-materiality in our ESG-related business decisions, view Macerich's Corporate Responsibility Report.
