Introduction
Regency Centers ("Regency" or "the Company") was founded and built on a set of core values. Our impressive growth and success would not have been possible without those values, which have guided us from the development of our first shopping center to owning and operating more than 480 centers today. These values mean that we actively take corporate responsibility into consideration in every aspect of our business. Our corporate responsibility initiatives are a key component of our strategy to continue to deliver value for our stakeholders.
We strive to achieve and maintain high levels of employee engagement and satisfaction, and significant annual giving and volunteering to benefit our communities.

REGENCY'S CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Our People: Policies and Practices
At Regency our people are our greatest asset, and we believe a talented team from
differing backgrounds and experiences makes us better. Our highly engaged team drives our corporate responsibility initiatives and plays a crucial role in achieving our strategic objectives.
To support this, we are committed to maintaining and enhancing a safe, inclusive, and professional work environment. We prioritize employee engagement and well-being by offering health and wellness resources, competitive benefits, training and education opportunities, and strong
safety and inclusion practices. Empowering our employees is not just a priority--it's the foundation of our success.
'We Do What Is Right' is a key tenet of our core values, and respect for human rights is fundamental at Regency. We support and promote the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. We protect human rights in the environments we
control by:
Providing a safe work environment;
Encouraging employee wellness and a healthy work/life balance;
Providing competitive remuneration and benefits;
Being an equal-opportunity employer that does not discriminate in regard to race, color, age, sex, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other protected class;
Maintaining an inclusive workplace, free from discrimination and harassment;
Complying with all employment laws, including those related to minimum wage, child labor, forced labor, collective bargaining and excessive work hours; and
Leading and engaging with our vendors and contractors on human rights issues.
We require all employees to undertake annual discrimination and harassment training that includes information on how and where to report concerns.
Due to the location of our operations and the nature of our business, we do not believe that the activities in our supply chain involve significant human rights risks. However, we require our vendors and contractors to acknowledge our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics(Code), and to act ethically in a manner consistent with our Code while working with us. In addition, we require that they acknowledge and practice our Vendor and Contractor Principles, including human rights protection, in their work with us. If we become aware of issues, we will take action.
