CBL's management and development teams have worked to identify ways to reduce our environmental footprint by installing energy management systems across our portfolio, utilizing energy-efficient lighting, and energy-efficient water fixtures. In 2022, we made progress on many of our key sustainability initiatives.
As part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our overall environmental impact, in 2022, CBL rolled out a new Tenant Sustainability Guide, which provides tenants with best practices related to sustainable construction and development practices.
We achieved the goals we set forth in 2021, completing a total of nine energy-efficient light projects, bringing the total number of projects completed over the last several years to 71, recycling more than 9,000 tons of paper and cardboard, making further progress on a solar pilot program, increasing the number of active EV charging stations across our portfolio to 113, and incorporating green lease language into new and renewal leases.
