Ethical Profile

Mixed.

RPT Realty (now part of Kimco Realty) presents a mixed ethical profile. While recognized as a "Best Place to Work" with high employee engagement, critics point to a 55:1 CEO pay ratio and reports of demanding workloads. The company's acquisition by Kimco in January 2024 led to layoffs. Environmentally, RPT achieved a 19% electricity reduction and 25% water saving, diverting 24% of waste, but lacks comprehensive carbon reporting. In tech, while privacy policies align with GDPR and CCPA, a past data breach at Weingarten Realty (acquired by Kimco) allegedly exposed sensitive consumer data, including Social Security numbers and bank accounts.

Better Health for All

0

RPT Realty, as a real estate investment trust, does not directly engage in activities that significantly impact health outcomes, develop health products, or provide healthcare services. Its core business of owning and operating shopping centers, including grocery-anchored ones, is considered health-neutral. Therefore, most health-related KPIs are not applicable. While the company and its acquirer, Kimco, engage in environmental initiatives, these fall under 'Planet-Friendly Business' and are excluded from this assessment. Similarly, initiatives related to employee wellness, general diversity and inclusion, or a CEO's involvement with an autism advocacy group, while positive, do not directly align with the specific definitions or quantitative thresholds for health-related KPIs such as vulnerable reach, health equity programs, or healthcare workforce support. No specific, quantifiable data was provided for user safety records or global health crisis response actions to meet rubric thresholds.
