JBG SMITH Awarded Nareit “2021 Diversified Leader in the Light” Honor

Bethesda, MD-based JBG SMITH has received a Nareit’s 2021 Diversified Leader in the Light Awards honor in recognition of its ESG efforts.

Nareit’s annual Leader in the Light Awards program recognizes Nareit member companies that have demonstrated superior and sustained sustainability practices. Now in its 16th year, the 2021 Leader in the Light Awards were presented to REITs in eight property sectors during the REITworld: 2021 Annual Conference. JBG SMITH was honored with the highest achievement across all diversified companies.

The 2021 Leader in the Light Awards are based on the results of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark Annual Survey as well as Q&As scored by an interdisciplinary panel of judges.

In September, JBG SMITH announced carbon neutrality across its operating portfolio. JBG SMITH’s commitment to a carbon neutral operating portfolio, the publishing of an annual D&I report and commitments to reduce embodied carbon 20% by 2030 within its development pipeline also contributed to the award.
