Physicians Realty Trust Earns 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award

Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) (the “Company”) earned a 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

“We are honored to receive the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for the second time in three years,” said John T. Thomas, the Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to being a leader in the health care and commercial real estate industries when it comes to managing our properties in an environmentally responsible manner on behalf of our team members, investors, health care partners, and the communities we serve. ENERGY STAR is a critical component of our energy management program and our success.”

Each year, the ENERGY STAR program honors a select group of businesses and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the transition to a clean energy economy. ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in producing, selling, and adopting energy-efficient products, homes, buildings, services, and strategies. These efforts are essential to fighting the climate crisis, protecting public health, and creating a clean energy future for everyone.

“As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change, public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of our ambition,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “I applaud this year’s ENERGY STAR award winners for working with EPA to deliver a clean energy future that saves American consumers and businesses money and creates jobs.”
