About the Nareit Awards: Nareit’s 2022 Leader in the Light Awards were presented to REITs in nine property sectors: Data Centers; Diversified; Health Care; Hospitality; Industrial; Office; Residential; Retail and Self-storage. Judging criteria for the Leader in the Light program became embedded in the GRESB Survey in 2012 to enable competing companies to measure their performance against a global benchmark. The 2022 Leader in the Light Awards are based on the results of the GRESB Annual Survey, as well as scored responses to supplemental questions by outside judges.
