“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.
