EXTRA VALUE: 2019 ANNUAL REPORT
At Extra Space, we believe in running a company that is built to last. We believe by being extra green, we provide extra value to our customers, employees, shareholders, and communities. We achieve this through our ongoing efforts to improve the sustainability of our operations by employing environmental, social and governance best practices and initiatives.

2019 Improvement
For the past nine years we’ve been dedicated to our solar program, and we are seeing rewards for this effort. With over 440 facilities powered by solar, this year we produced enough solar energy to power over 2,500 homes for an entire year. We’ve added so many installations that the Solar Energy Association recognized Extra Space as a Top 10 Corporate User by Number of Solar Installations last year, alongside Target, Walmart and Walgreens. Our solar efforts reduced our electricity while producing a great return, showing clearly how sustainability can be at the intersection of what’s good for the environment, the community and our shareholders.
