Getty Corporate Responsibility Report Wins 2026 Gold Hermes Award

Category: Corporate Social Responsibility / ESG Report

Service: Corporate Communications

Background:

Getty Realty Corp. specializes in convenience and automotive retail real estate along with other single-tenant properties. Managing a vast national portfolio, the company treats corporate responsibility as a core driver of its long-term growth and daily operations.

Challenge:

The 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report needed to illustrate how internal culture drives external success. The narrative had to weave together diverse corporate initiatives. These ranged from climate-risk property underwriting and new governance policies to the localized community impact of the Getty Gives philanthropic program.

Solution:

LGC developed a cohesive report design that anchored complex ESG data directly to the company's core values. The visual layout highlighted key operational milestones alongside community achievements. This structure gave appropriate focus to high-participation tenant surveys, employee volunteer efforts, and dedicated charitable partnerships.

The Results

  • Earned a Gold Hermes Creative Award for outstanding corporate reporting.
  • Clarified the direct link between internal governance and strategic real estate objectives.
  • Produced a transparent asset championing data-driven growth and employee-led community impact.
