EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT


2/24


3/24

In 2013, we were proud to publish our first Corporate Social

Responsibility Report, Built on Purpose. For Forest City,

the process of measuring, evaluating and reporting on our

progress was transformative.

In the past year, we have continued to build upon ou r

strong foundation by focusing on cultivating talent,

capabilities, prosperity, partnerships and communities

that are core to our culture, values, core markets and

urban centers. These efforts have led to new processes

and programs that have improved our transparency and

strengthened our company.

For example, our Integrative Design Services (IDS) g roup

was formed this year with the goal of identifying best

practices and standards that will ensure best-in-class

quality and high performance in our new and existing

properties. This cross-functional team is dedicated to

improving internal controls and operational excellence.

Among other successes, we embarked on a companywide

collaboration to create internal design standards for our

real estate development teams, promoting increased

consistency in our processes and driving enhanced

management and sharing of knowledge across the

organization.

We continue to add value for our shareholders and

communities through core, urban, mixed-use developments

and intelligent, high-performance buildings, creating

healthy environments where people can live, work and

shop. Were also incorporating smarter technology to

our existing portfolio so we can increase efficiency and

reduce costs. We believe this is the right thing to do for our

residents, tenants and all of our stakeholders.

Fostering our culture of capability, adaptability and

accountability is another cornerstone in the foundation of

our success.All of our accomplishments are a testament to

the relentless dedication of our associates, who are core

to our business and demonstrate Forest Citys strength

through their daily achievements. We aim to support our

associates through training, continuing education and

proactively responding to their ideas and feedback.

In alignment with our core value of Diversity and Inclusion,

we focused on further diversifying our workforce so we

can better connect with the needs of our communities.

To support our efforts, we welcomed our second

associate resource group AACCEL, which stands for

African Americans Connecting and Creating Excellence

and Leadership. We were honored to be named one of

DiversityInc magazines 25 Noteworthy Companies in 2013

for significant progress in diversity management.

Corporate Social Responsibility serves as a strong

foundation for cultivating value and innovation in our

industry. We look forward to sharing this next part of our

journey with you.

Welcome to Built On Purpose: Cultivating t he Core.

Sincerely,

David LaRue

President and Chief Executive Officer

At Forest City, we create office space, where people spend hours a day; retail properties, where people shop andspend leisure time; and residential buildings, where people make their homes.

Through responsible, integrative real estate development

and management, we cultivate not only properties, but also

prosperity and a sense of place where we build.

We recognize that vibrant urban centers are pivotal to the

success of local communities, and that their value can inspire

radial growth. With this in mind, we develop mixed-use

communities places where people live, work and shop andcreate philanthropic, economic and industry partnerships that

strengthen core urban areas.

Our dedication to responsible stewardship applies to the

creation of new high-performance buildings, as well as smarter

management of our entire portfolio. We leverage innovative

technology when rehabilitating existing buildings so we can

increase efficiency and reduce costs, thus providing benefits to

our tenants and residents.

Our associates are driving the success of our programs and

embodying the principles of our responsible practices on adaily basis. Their hard work and commitment exemplify our

standards as a business and ensure that we deliver value to our

stakeholders.

As we evaluate our progress, we generate a strong foundation

for improving the way we measure and analyze data. By

calculating our impact as reflected in this report, we have

developed a better understanding of our environmental footprint

and opportunities for innovation. For example, we expanded thecontract of our waste broker to include residential properties

in addition to retail properties following a pilot project that

measured potential impacts, resulting in better control over

waste management and waste data at dozens of additional

properties. These steps are an important part of our Corporate

Social Responsibility journey, and they will continue to contribute

to the ongoing success of Forest City.

base helps create a sustainable competitive

advantage and long-term shareholder value. In

addition to the tangible benefits of price and

quality, a broader pool of diverse suppliers builds

brand value, a solid reputation and goodwill in the

communities we serve.

Women Business Enterprise, Veteran Business

Enterprise and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.

Our AssociatesAccording to a 2013 Gallup study, organizations with high

employee engagement achieve more than 20% greater

productivity and profitability and have fewer safety incidents,

absenteeism and turnover compared to companies with low

employee engagement. To this end, Forest City aims to cultivate a

dynamic and engaging workplace for all employees.

We believe that our associates need access to resources that will

help them develop skills for growth within our organization. To

this end, we implemented a common performance review system

and cycle for all Forest City associates in 2013. This has greatly

improved our ability to be sure that all associates receive quality

and timely performance feedback.


SUMMARY

Talent is core to our success and is reflectedin our leadership, culture, developments

and community relationships. We cultivate

talent through our core value of Diversity and

Inclusion, and by fostering an engaging work

environment with opportunities for continuous

learning and growth.

Forest City regularly conducts talent review meetings, which

are integrated with our business planning cycle. During these

meetings, department heads and HR partners discuss the

performance, potential and training needs of all exempt-level

associates and recommend developmental actions. These

meetings offer updates to the leadership succession plan, which is

presented annually to the Board of Directors.

Cultivating Stewardship

As part of our core value of Sustainability and Stewardship,

Forest City strives to be a responsible steward of natural

resources through effective management of real estate.

These efforts are reflected in how we develop and construct

new properties, operate and renovate our existing portfolio,

adapt our policies and procedures to maximize sustainability

and focus on reducing our energy, water and waste footprint.

Our Approach


SUMMARY

1. ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY Provide services and support for energy

efficiency and procurement, recycling and

waste reduction, water conservation and

facility management. We set internal design

standards and performance specifications,

aiming to exceed minimum building codes

and standards.

We audit and recommend mechanical

systems and building upgrades and measure

performance results of past projects in order to

inform future decisions.

Explore financing alternatives for energy

retrofits to bring innovations and renovationsto market faster.

Manage LEED and ENERGY STAR programs,

and support production of annual CSR report.

2. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Work with asset teams, developers and

Procurement to develop compliance and

performance standards that meet all regulations.

Coordinate with development, marketing and

operations teams to establish the look and feel

of Forest Citys projects.

Maintain quality properties by updating finishes

to retain tenants and residents.

3. BUILDING TECHNOLOGY SERVICES Work with developers and asset managers to

determine the best available technology.

Coordinate with multiple departments to ensure

compatibility and consistency across our

portfolio.

4. RENEWABLE ENERGY Develop and operate facilities that create value

and mesh with our core competencies.

Forest Citys newly formed Integrative Design Services (IDS) department combines expertise from

three groups: Energy and Sustainability, Building Technology Services and Architectural Design.

These 20 associates integrate sustainability functions and serve as a central resource for the

organization. IDS works with asset managers and developers to implement best practices and

standards to ensure high quality and performance in our properties.

Our goal is to make the best of whatwe do, a part of everything we do

LEED and ENERGY STARAt Forest City, we purposefully select how

and where we develop. By designing to

LEED and ENERGY STAR specifications,

we proactively manage our buildings

environmental footprints. In addition

to sustainable design, we consider

our impact on biodiversity, proximity to

public transit and emissions reductions.

While we actively develop in many

urban settings with limited green space,

we incorporate native landscaping and

other land management initiatives when

possible to minimize our environmental

impact. In addition, we support sustainable

transportation in many developments by

providing infrastructure for bike-sharing

and car-sharing.


At Forest City, we are dedicated to the creation of high-performancebuildings that are sustainable today and for generations to come.

We design intelligent buildings through innovative technology and

internal sustainability standards and best practices, all with the goal

of reducing the environmental footprint of our buildings.

NEW DEVELOPMENT

Because these sustainable design

elements provide added value to

residents, minimize environmental harm

and differentiate us from our peers, we will

continue to build to LEED and ENERGY

STAR specifications. In 2013, Barclays

Center, Las Vegas City Hall (build-to-suit

project) and the Continental all achieved

LEED certification.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

PROJECT OF THE YEARIn 2013, Forest City installed a waste disposal

system at Tower City Center in Cleveland to

process scraps from the food court. The leftovers

are delivered to our anaerobic digestion plant in

Collinwood (a Cleveland neighborhood) where

they are converted into fertilizer and biogas. The

fertilizer is delivered to area farms, where the

biogas generates electricity that is then sold to

Cleveland Public Power. This project won the 2013

International Renewable Energy Project of the Year

award from the Association of Energy Engineers.

ULI URBAN OPEN SPACE AWARDIn 2013, the Urban Land Institute honored The

Yards Park, a 5.5-acre riverfront park in Washington

D.C., with its Urban Open Space Award. This group

promotes vibrant, successful urban open spaces by

annually recognizing and rewarding an outstanding

example of a public destination that has enriched

and revitalized its community.

Energy ManagementForest City ensures centralized energy management by aligning

activities and decision-makers at the business-unit and property

levels. We prioritize investment decisions on energy-efficient

projects, and then measure and verify them in order to maximize

our capital by investing in the highest performing projects.


We proactively manage our existing propertiesby developing policies, processes and

programs based on best practices. We track

all sustainability initiatives to keep our focus on

those that create the most value, and continue

to integrate innovative technologies in our

operating portfolio as we improve operational

efficiency and performance.

MANAGED PORTFOLIO


Strategic Energy Management ScorecardThis year we developed Strategic Energy Management

Scorecards, which enable us to drill down to varying degrees

of detail to identify the sources of energy savings realized. This

allows us to identify the impact of specific efficiency projects to

accurately gauge which projects were successful and where they

should be replicated.

STAPLETON: CONSERVATORY GREEN/ In 2013, Stapleton, a sustainable

mixed-use development in Denver, launched Conservatory Green.

This was the first of several new neighborhoods designed to continue

Stapletons successful formula of strong community engagement,

award-winning parks and schools and appealing home designs. In

2013, Stapleton ranked 11th in the nation in sales for master planned

communities; according to Metrolist, it has accounted for approximately

10% of all homes sold in Denver.

Engineering ActivityAt our corporate headquarters,

Forest Citys two Certified Energy

Managers and two professional engineers

regularly conduct site visits and energy

audits. In 2013, Forest City conducted 21

Level II ASHRAE* audits and nine Level I

ASHRAE audits on more than 10,000,000

square feet of our portfolio to identify

conservation measures, critical systems

and plant needs. Property managers

were engaged in projects through the

Sustainability Metrics Scorecard, a

spreadsheet that compares year-over-

year performance and identifies areas

needing improvement. This tool expands

communication with the Strategic Energy

Programs and Efficiency Team, who use

the Sustainability Metrics Scorecard to

prioritize Property Improvement Plans.

Greenhouse Gas EmissionsAs buildings are significant contributors to

greenhouse gas emissions, we proactively

manage our energy by:

Leveraging LEED and other

sustainability specifications in our

building designs.

Installing renewable energy projects

whenever possible.

Rehabilitating existing buildings

with innovative technology to

reduce their impact.

Incorporating efficient technologies

such as demand-response systems.

Measuring our impact enables us to

better manage and reduce our footprint.

We are currently analyzing our portfolio

to determine ways to avoid greenhouse

gas emissions through designing and

managing high-performance buildings.

WaterIn 2013 Forest City completed a thorough

internal quality review to check the

accuracy and completeness of our water

data for reporting. We actively identify

water-saving opportunities by:

Renovating restrooms to incorporate

waterless, low-flow and other efficient

technologies.

Installing new or upgrading existing

irrigation systems.

Identifying utility rebates for water-

saving technology installation.

Waste and RecyclingBy reducing our waste, we reduce costs,

improve our operational efficiency and

lessen the environmental impact. During

construction, we require diversion of at

least 50% of construction and demolition

waste. With renovation projects, we re-

use as much of the existing structure as

possible to minimize waste and the need

for new materials.

Our Philosophy on GivingAt Forest City, we target our giving to specific initiatives or

programs that strengthen local communities. Some of these

include providing services for those in need, as well as supporting

education, arts and culture, and historical preservation. When we

select organizations for philanthropy, we evaluate their ratings,

history and engagement of board members, among other factors.

We also ask potential recipients for quarterly or semi-annual

reports to prove that funds are used optimally. Thus, we ensure

that we are giving responsibly and generating a significant,

positive impact in our neighborhoods.

In addition to our philanthropic contributions, we actively identify

opportunities for in-kind giving and skills-based volunteering

Cultivating Community

At Forest City, our vision is to be the real estate

leader and partner-of-choice in creating distinctive

places to live, work and shop. By cultivating

partnerships with business partners, communities

and our industry, we drive innovation and

strengthen the core of our business and urban

centers in which we operate. Our properties impact
