Sustainability Report 2024  1312  Sustainability Report 2024 5 THE PENN DISTRICT THE PENN DISTRICT, New York City’s most accessible neighborhood in the heart of Manhattan, has been recently transformed into a sustainable campus of best-in-class office, retail, food and beverage, and open spaces. Vornado is in the process of completing a $2.4 billion transformation of the neighborhood to include over a half mile of new sidewalk paving, over two acres of green space and open-air plazas, and 73,000 SF of outdoor tenant space. THE FARLEY BUILDING THE FARLEY BUILDING, PENN 1, and PENN 2 have undergone significant renovations resulting in a cohesive and collaborative destination focused on health, wellness, hospitality, and accessibility. The entire District has 100% zero-carbon electricity and PENN 2 was delivered as a carbon-neutral asset. PENN 1 underwent a full-building window replacement with triple-pane glazing and the creation of new amenities, including a coffee bar, grab & go, co-working space, health club, restaurants, and conference areas, while PENN 2 was completely reclad with a high-efficiency modern curtain wall and new mechanical equipment, as well as new tenant amenities to be shared in concert with PENN 1. Vornado is executing a master plan to revolutionize THE PENN DISTRICT into the future sustainable epicenter of New York, which includes the following:   Transforming 9M SF of existing properties   10+ acres of new public plazas and sidewalks   New landscaping and green space throughout   1.1M+ SF of new retail offerings   Vornado’s WorkLife campus amenity program Vornado completed the new Moynihan Train Hall, a modern skylit grand train hall within The Farley Building, the former 1912 James A. Farley Post Office, that services Amtrak and serves as the new home for the Long Island Rail Road. Additionally, Vornado completed a dramatic new entrance into the Long Island Rail Road's main concourse at Penn Station located at Seventh Avenue and 33rd Street. Vornado has also completed development and is re-tenanting the expanded LIRR Concourse that connects Seventh Avenue to Moynihan Train Hall. Vornado has changed the landscape from Seventh to Ninth Avenues with new stone-paved plazas and sidewalks, and has planted new trees and vegetation throughout THE DISTRICT. Street trees are now located on Seventh Avenue at PENN 2 and PENN 15, and 33rd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues was pedestrianized.  The Farley Building is an adaptive reuse project of an iconic civic building designed by McKim, Mead and White, famed architects of the original Penn Station, and features 740,000 square feet of office space, 120,000 square feet of curated retail, and a new majestic train hall.

Sustainability Report 2024  1716  Sustainability Report 2024 Reduce We prioritize energy efficiency through building upgrades and retrofits to more efficient equipment and systems, making operational changes to permanently reduce peak demands and providing high-performance guidelines for future tenant buildouts. We continue outreach and engagement with our tenants to identify opportunities to reduce tenant- metered electricity usage. We have achieved a 41% reduction, since 2009, toward our goal of 50% by 2030. Renewable We incorporate renewables into development projects where feasible. We also retire fossil fuel-based heating and cooling equipment and convert steam chiller plants to ultra-high-efficiency electric chillers as existing equipment reaches the end of useful life. The elimination of fossil fuels will contribute to a 10% reduction in emissions. RECs and offsets will fill the remaining gap toward carbon neutrality. Through reduction, recovery, and renewables, we will minimize the amount of purchased RECs and carbon offsets. Recover As usage is reduced, we identify opportunities to recover waste energy. This is accomplished by recapturing heat that would otherwise be discarded and reintroducing it to make hot water. Currently, Vornado, with support from the NYSERDA Empire Building Challenge, is implementing a waste heat recovery project at PENN 1. There are two more sites that have been targeted as candidates for heat recovery by 2030. VISION 2030 is Vornado’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. We rely on meaningful stakeholder collaboration with our employees and our tenants to optimize operations and eliminate excessive usage. The following is the path toward Vision 2030 and how we anticipate reductions across our portfolio to meet our goal.

Scope 3 currently includes other utility consumption within control of our tenants, including submetered energy and other operations such as waste. Energy costs of a property are often among the largest controllable expenses. In 2019, Vornado committed to making its buildings carbon neutral by the year 2030. This plan, known as Vision 2030, combines various methods to reduce and offset all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. We are currently undertaking a complete Scope 3 inventory. ** Vornado has chosen to report our emissions based on operational control from the World Resource Institute’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard: Revised Edition. We report all consolidated entities, and unconsolidated joint ventures where we influence operational control, as of 12/31/2024. Buildings not included are those where 90% or more of the building’s office or residential square footage is under development as of 12/31/2024. For buildings that have a pro rata share ownership percentage, RECs are subtracted from total energy usage prior to emission calculations and residual values are then prorated. *Any information relating to forward-looking statements, targets, goals, progress against goals, and linked information was not subject to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s review or examination and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express a conclusion or any form of assurance on such information. *** The quantity of offsets purchased, 5,501 Emission Reduction Tonnes from American Carbon Registry (“ACR”) US-827-2022-2054-460333 to 465833.

Environmental 5 280 PARK AVENUE Operational Control Method GHG emissions by scope (MTCO2e) Emissions data is presented on an absolute basis. Location-based reflects emissions for our properties based on the grid average emission factor, while market-based reflects emissions that we are responsible for due to our purchasing decisions. Our Scope 1 emissions include on-site combustion from oil and natural gas; Scope 2 emissions include our district steam consumption and landlord-controlled electricity consumption; Scope 3 emissions include electricity consumed by our submeter tenants and other utility consumption within the direct control of our tenants. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory** Alexander’s Inc. GHG emissions inventory (breakout, included in inventory above) Energy efficiency is the prioritized component of Vision 2030 with a goal of reducing consumption 50% below a 2009 base year by 2030. Further information on this plan can be found in the Vision 2030 section of this report. Our energy reduction measured 41% at the end of 2024. As business activity returns to our buildings with tenants and building operators motivated to operate efficiently, we are observing stable progress toward our energy efficiency goal. We continue to measure our energy consumption and evaluate our targets and goals.* Beginning in 2021, our location-based Scope 2 emissions differed significantly from our market-based Scope 2 emissions due to our investment in renewable energy certificates. We will continue to report our Scope 2 emissions on both a location and market basis. Because the market-based approach ref lects progress on our Vision 2030 carbon neutrality commitment, we will rely on the market- based approach for reporting on our emissions related goals and targets.

Sustainability Report 2024  3130  Sustainability Report 2024 Environmental Case Study: Building Decarbonization Tool* Renewable Energy VORNADO PROCURES  renewable energy certificates (RECs) to demonstrate our commitment to renewable energy and the environment. In June 2021, Vornado contracted to procure RECs sourced from hydro energy facilities located throughout New York State. Once the NY State REC purchase expired, we purchased a bundled REC product to align our renewables with our electricity load. In San Francisco, we transitioned our buildings to 100% clean in-state, off-site energy, aligning with the city’s clean power and carbon neutrality goals. Vornado selected these products as a localized solution that supports investment in renewable infrastructure for the states of NY and CA, furthering statewide goals, and increasing and providing clean energy to all communities. In Chicago, where our largest asset resides, we procure RECs offsetting 100% of our electricity load. The local grids in which we operate have decarbonization goals that will, in turn, enable our electricity and district steam operations to be carbon free by 2050. As a supplemental strategy until regional grids meet their goals, off-site renewable energy provides a virtual carbon offset to our Scope 2 emissions. Vornado regularly evaluates opportunities to invest in renewable energy. We believe that on-site renewable energy is one of the most impactful methods to reducing carbon emissions. With eGRID factors changing in recent years, it is clear that location-based emissions will intensify before renewable sources are added to respective regional electricity grids. This is the balance of emissions that has not been reduced by energy efficiency, energy demand optimization, or renewable energy procurement. As our electricity consumption decreases through efficiency efforts and the regional grids become cleaner over time, our procurement of RECs will decrease. SASB IF-RE-130a.5 In 2024, our total  renewable energy  purchases were 252,670  MWhs or 40.7% of our  company’s total energy  consumption. The  regional breakdown of our  renewable purchases are  as follows: 40.5% of our New York energy of our California energy 57.5% 45.9% of our Chicago energy In 2024, we completed the design of a new Decarbonization Calculator for our portfolio. The tool enables modeling of various capital energy efficiency projects alongside operational reductions to illustrate the impact on utility costs and emissions, two very important goalposts that are not always in alignment. The tool enables us to quickly determine cash f low from capital upgrades and the impact on the break- even year by unknown variables, such as increases in utility rates or the speed with which the electric and steam grids are able to decarbonize. Ultimately, the tool serves as a way to determine the lowest cost path to carbon neutrality, including Vision 2030 and Building Performance Standards. For buildings that do not have a financially viable way of accomplishing this goal — e.g., negative IRRs — we even have a way to estimate the cost of procuring RECs and offsets until the grid decarbonizes. These costs are a useful metric when determining each asset's compliance with Building Performance Standards and contribution to Vornado's sustainability goals. Demand Response* Vornado remains dedicated to participating in demand response events. We voluntarily shed electric load without impacting tenant comfort when the regional utility grids experience distress. Our NYC buildings contributed 6,100 kW of curtailment, THE MART committed 4,200 kW, and 555 California committed another 800 kW in 2024. *This disclosure was not subject to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s review or examination and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express a conclusion, opinion, or any form of assurance on such information. *This disclosure was not subject to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s review or examination and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express a conclusion, opinion, or any form of assurance on such information.

Sustainability Report 2024  4544  Sustainability Report 2024 Case Study: Energy Efficiency Programs GRI 2-24, 3-2, 3-3, SASB IF-RE-130a.5 ENERGY MANAGEMENT is incorporated into our investment oversight process across all our property subsectors. We tour the properties and review capital and operating budgets, including utility bills, to determine opportunities to reduce energy consumption and decarbonize. We assess energy performance through quantifiable methods of consumption and cost on a per square foot basis, and we consider energy labels and benchmark values provided through ENERGY STAR. We gain an understanding of the building’s energy inventory and current energy initiatives implemented at the property. Our programs are a phased hybrid of both data-driven and qualitative analyses, wherein we prioritize energy efficiency through building upgrades and retrofits, recover discarded waste heat when possible, and integrate renewable energy sources to support grid modernization. Our building managers and operators in all our property subsectors are trained and supported by our centralized energy management team to employ sound and responsible energy management across the portfolio. Building Chief Engineers perform in-house technical assessments, akin to a walkthrough energy audit, per guidance from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), as part of ongoing preventative maintenance. We employ third- party engineering firms to complete technical assessments, such as ASHRAE Level II Energy Audits and retro-commissioning at all NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco properties over 50,000 square feet, and aim to update these assessments every five years. In our NYC market, the Audits and Retro-commissioning reports are part of Local Law 87 and are subject to City review to ensure that all landlord-controlled inventory is included, all low- and no-cost recommended repairs are completed, and that the assessments were completed by licensed professionals. Such technical assessments are the basis for our energy efficiency capital work. Vornado staff aims to complete all low- and no-cost repairs and recommended measures, and considers more capital-intensive measures, in each annual budget cycle, if they help us to achieve our carbon neutrality goals or coincide with a building need to replace equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Throughout 2024, the Sustainability Team worked closely with each building’s engineering and facilities teams to identify operational optimization opportunities that would facilitate permanent, portfolio- wide energy use reductions. The four measures below were broadly adopted in combination with a bespoke menu of interventions throughout the portfolio, contributing to a 4% overall reduction in base building electricity consumption.  Limiting chiller demand   Staging headered pumps   Scheduling equipment start-up  Reducing fan and pump speeds One building that has focused on after-hours or "idle" usage responded by installing additional sensors and implementing HVAC setbacks and realized consistent reductions of 11% between 2022 and 2023, and an additional 19% from 2023 to 2024. Occasionally, attempts at improving day-to-day operations reveal the need for deeper capital improvements. For example, one building that was exhibiting a net increase in consumption between 2023 and 2024 was discovered as having very low differential temperatures throughout the HVAC system, which could indicate valves or heat exchangers that are in poor condition. These discoveries allow our team to scope necessary equipment replacements with measures like air balancing and controls upgrades, which frequently trigger incentive eligibility and allow the entire project to save energy and operating costs. Operational Optimization* In 2024, we kicked off our Building Operations and Maintenance Training Program, coached by Smith Engineering and funded entirely by NYSERDA. The program intends to provide every level of building operations with the education to run equipment optimally for energy savings and equipment longevity, and to also prepare for upcoming transitions to the grid. Our engineering teams are learning about new technologies such as heat pumps and concepts like condenser water heat recovery as electrification proliferates. While a Chief Engineer’s primary responsibilities are still to have mastery over building systems and maintain thermal comfort, they are adding programming skills on more advanced controls systems to their knowledge base. With ever increasing utility costs, our engineers are also getting a primer on utility tariffs and billing. Financial dispatch is becoming a greater priority than simply delaying chiller start-up times, and decisions must be made on whether to run electric or steam-driven chillers while being mindful of avoiding the respective peak demand windows. Building Operator Training* We recognize the importance of visibility into our real-time electricity usage so we can make proactive decisions about how and when we operate building equipment. After meeting with numerous energy management software providers, we opted to have one of our existing providers add additional features onto an existing platform. We worked with Blueprint Power, a bp Company, as our demand response (DR) aggregator, as they already have access to our whole building usage in real time. To leverage a platform that’s typically utilized only a few hours each year, we requested that the dashboard include both kWh and kW as well as an indicator of historic peak demand to become a useful daily tool. This dashboard is now prominently displayed in each control room alongside the building management system. This allows the Chief Engineer to periodically monitor usage and take proactive steps to reduce usage if we approach the maximum threshold.

Sustainability Report 2024  4746  Sustainability Report 2024 Environmental / Energy Programs Energy Progress GRI 2-24, 3-2, 3-3 The Empire Technology Prize was created to help tackle New York’s biggest climate challenge: buildings. Heating is the largest single source of buildings’ GHG emissions — over 30%. Heat pumps are a great solution for decarbonizing building heat; however, existing technologies can be difficult to integrate into New York’s buildings. New York needs new solutions: a new class of heat pumps that work with the existing steam or high-temperature hot water infrastructure and new distribution solutions that make it easier to adopt existing centralized low-temperature heat pumps. “Vornado is thrilled to be a Demonstration Partner in the Empire Technology Prize, working side by side with NYSERDA, The Clean Fight, and the solution providers to decarbonize buildings like those in our portfolio. Vornado’s commitment to carbon neutrality includes implementing new solutions that support our reduction goals along with the transition to clean energy. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the team developing new solutions focused on large commercial buildings that will further support our carbon neutrality goal and maintain our first-class building operations.” — Lauren Moss, SVP, Chief Sustainability Officer Empire Technology Prize In the 2021 Phase 1 Empire Building Challenge award, we developed a road map to 100% carbon neutrality by 2030 at PENN 1, a 2.5-million- square-foot commercial building. In 2023, we were selected to move on to Phase 2, which is the construction of the cornerstone project. In 2024, we completed the basis of design, and product selections will be made in 2025. This deep carbon retrofit design details advanced waterside heat recovery, wherein waste heat from the building’s condenser water loop will be recaptured and reused to reduce heating loads instead of rejecting waste heat into the atmosphere. This measure is predicted to reduce steam usage by 15% and carbon emissions by 3%. Implementing advanced waterside heat recovery at PENN 1 will showcase the thermal dispatch model, which highlights how carbon-free energy sources can be optimally deployed to meet large commercial buildings’ heating and cooling loads. By utilizing available technologies in innovative ways, this project sets a replicable decarboniza- tion precedent we hope will be seen throughout the New York City building sector and beyond in years to come. NYSERDA Empire Building Challenge Policy & Decarbonization The Sustainability Team at Vornado is involved with organizations, panels, and conferences, playing a critical role in educating policymakers and stakeholders on developing and implementing responsible strategies that balance return on investment (ROI) with sustainability goals. Our involvement supports the broader industry and communities in several ways by helping to shape industry-wide sustainability standards and best practices, which can inform policymakers on feasible, market-driven solutions. Through panel discussions and public speaking, our team shares real-world data on the financial and environmental benefits of sustainable building practices. By demonstrating how energy efficiency, green building retrofits, and carbon reduction strategies enhance long-term ROI, we provide a compelling case for policies that incentivize developers and support policymakers. By working with government agencies and legislative bodies, Vornado helps shape policies that promote sustainability without stifling economic growth. This includes advocating for incentives for energy efficiency and decarbonization upgrades, streamlined permitting for energy-efficient buildings, and public-private partnerships to accelerate carbon reduction. When major real estate firms like Vornado publicly champion sustainability, it signals to both the market and policymakers that sustainable investment is viable and beneficial. This can lead to broader acceptance of policies that drive responsible urban development. By leveraging our platform, Vornado works to bridge the gap between government policy and real estate market realities, ensuring that sustainability regulations are both effective and economically sound. 90 PARK AVENUE PENN 11 recently achieved its 100th birthday. Despite its vintage, it continues to be one of our highest performing buildings. This is due to a Chief Engineer who has made energy efficiency a priority. He installed variable frequency drives on all large fans between 2012 and 2014 and retrofitted all back-of- house lighting with LEDs between 2018 and 2019. In 2020, the building replaced outside air dampers and upgraded air compressors with a variable speed model. With baseline electricity usage already at significantly reduced levels, we kicked off chiller electrification in 2022. Two 1,200-ton steam absorption chillers were replaced with four 600-ton magnetic drive electric chillers. To ensure that building controls would optimize the use of ultra-efficient chillers, we also migrated the controls from pneumatic to electronic, upgraded the controllers, and installed indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors to enable demand control ventilation. This carefully packaged project was eligible for rebates that completely offset the cost of the controls improvement and fully went into service in 2024. We are now realizing 11,215 Mlbs in permanent steam reduction, and despite going electric, the overall efficiency improvement yielded a 500,000 kWh net reduction in electric consumption. PENN 11 ENERGY STAR Celebration On June 17, 2024, we celebrated the properties that received Energy Star certification in 2024.

SBTi/GHG Emissions Vornado’s commitment to emissions reductions targets has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as consistent with a 1.5°C climate scenario. As of 2024, we have achieved reductions of 61% in our market-based emissions and 5% in our location-based emissions. Vornado evaluates its carbon emissions from both location- and market-based approaches. Location-based carbon reflects portfolio emissions based on relative grid average emission factors; market-based carbon reflects emissions that we are responsible for due to our purchasing decisions. On January 17, 2025, the EPA released the updated 2023 eGRID factors that we have applied to our GHG emissions reporting. In the NYC region, the largest region Vornado operates within, the regional grid’s dependence on nonrenewable energy sources has escalated again, resulting in a significant coefficient increase as compared to the 2020 eGRID factors. Although this reliance is temporary, these large-scale changes will continue to impact our location-based emission progress until the regional grid implements long-term renewable solutions. We continue to exercise portfolio-wide optimization strategies and make necessary adjustments to improve our existing buildings emissions performance while executing high-performance sustainable design strategies in all new development. Beginning in 2021, our location-based Scope 2 emissions differed significantly from our market-based Scope 2 emissions due to our investment in renewable energy certificates. We will continue to report our Scope 2 emissions on both a location- and market- basis, as per our SBTi commitment.

Sustainability Report 2024  5150  Sustainability Report 2024 Vornado has recently committed to a target to reduce embodied carbon intensity for our new development projects by 10%. We will continue to evaluate every project for additional targets and lower carbon opportunities, depending upon the project scope, project type, and construction approach. To support our commitment, we will complete a life-cycle assessment on each new development and redevelopment project to determine how best to meet and/ or exceed our target. We will use the LEED v4 guidance and methodology for MRc Building Life-cycle Impact Reduction as our starting point to evaluate opportunities to incorporate reductions in our design and construction. Vornado has committed to developing and managing environmentally healthy buildings and is seeking to improve the decarbonization of its new construction and existing real estate portfolio. Our Embodied Carbon Framework, released in April 2024, was created to establish embodied carbon tracking, create embodied carbon reduction goals, and implement Whole Building Life Cycle Assessments (WBLCA) for new development projects. Vornado, in partnership with Atelier Ten, developed a framework for establishing embodied carbon performance on future development projects. The Framework is intended to be a “living document” that is updated periodically to best fit the needs of current projects and future goals. The Framework is intended to shape Vornado’s design strategy and will be used on a project-by-project basis. The effort was initiated after Atelier Ten completed WBLCA reports for FARLEY Moynihan Train Hall, PENN 1, and PENN 2 redevelopment projects. These embodied carbon studies facilitated discussions about overall embodied carbon goals for Vornado and how to establish embodied reporting for Vornado developments in the future. The embodied carbon framework is divided into four sections: corporate policy, implementation, tools for project teams, and assessment methods. This framework will help assess the portfolio, define goals, provide an embodied carbon assessment methodology, and develop a pathway to achieve embodied carbon reductions for new construction and the entire development portfolio. The framework identifies embodied carbon policy tools to shape Vornado’s procurement strategy for low embodied carbon materials and help refine its process for tracking the results to compare against goals and across projects in a common format. The framework identifies viable best practices in carbon-focused design features to inform new construction projects, major renovation, and interior fit-out projects to meet company-wide carbon reduction ambitions. At Vornado, sustainability and resilience are important lenses through which we view all development projects at any scale. Our strategy focuses on sustainable development inclusive of carbon neutrality, operational efficiencies, human health, minimizing material resources, and climate change adaptation.

Sustainability Report 2024  5756  Sustainability Report 2024 Nature 731 LEXINGTON AVENUE Central Park is an essential natural space, and the Central Park Conservancy is responsible for its day-to-day care and ensuring this green space is accessible to all. Twice annually, Vornado participates in “Day in the Dirt,” providing 15 to 20 volunteers dedicated to painting benches, planting ground cover, raking leaves, and clearing plant beds. These services help maintain a welcoming space for both wildlife and New Yorkers. Central Park Conservancy Partnership Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) in American cities offer significant benefits to tenants and surrounding communities, enhancing urban experiences in densely populated areas. These partnerships between private developers and municipalities create valuable public amenities where space is at a premium. Plaza33 in New York exemplifies this approach, transforming 17,700 square feet of former roadway into a thoughtfully designed pedestrian haven with October Glory red maples in marble planters that create both "slow" meandering spaces and a "fast lane" for efficient transit — all while overcoming signifi- cant constraints from the Penn Station infra- structure below. Similar examples across the country demon- strate the versatility of these spaces. Chicago's River Park at THE MART offers a lush riverside venue with abundant alfresco seating and unique water access via its boat dock. San Francisco's Plaza at 555 California creates a cohesive urban oasis with red granite matching the adjacent "Triple Five" building, featuring bamboo, olive trees, and the renowned "Bankers Heart" sculpture. For office tenants, these spaces serve as extensions of working environ- ments, providing informal meeting areas and break spaces that boost productivity and satis- faction while communities gain crucial green spaces, gathering spots, and cultural enrich- ment through thoughtful design and public art installations. As cities continue to evolve, these privately owned public spaces play an increas- ingly important role in shaping vibrant, livable urban environments for all. Public Green Space Environmental Vornado Realty Trust operates a diverse urban real estate portfolio across New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco characterized by complex ecosystem interfaces and strategic land-use approaches.

Sustainability Report 2024  6160  Sustainability Report 2024 GRI 2-24, 3-2, 3-3, 303-1, 303-3, SASB IF-RE-140a.4 Water* VORNADO UNDERSTANDS the importance of conserving water and commits to reducing water consumption wherever possible. Our primary method of mitigating water risk is to reduce our water withdrawals and consumption. In 2020, Vornado committed to a 10% absolute reduction by 2030 below a 2019 baseline year, and for the year ending 2024, we increased that target to 30% while measuring a 36% reduction. Through advancing efficiency efforts, we have exceeded the goal every year starting in 2020. We will continue to measure our water consumption. Environmental Water Use Vornado’s real estate portfolio is concentrated in the urban centers of New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. Our water consumption primarily stems from four key sources across our properties: potable drinking water, general plumbing facilities, HVAC systems, and specialized business operations, including food service establishments and fitness center amenities. We source water exclusively from municipal water systems and discharge through municipal sewer infrastructure. Agricultural water usage falls outside the reporting scope as it represents an insignificant portion of our overall consumption. The primary challenge in achieving our water reduction targets stems from limited control over end-user behavior. Several factors can drive increased consumption, including rising occupancy rates and extended operating hours, increased density of existing spaces, and expansion of water-intensive operations, particularly in retail spaces dedicated to food service or fitness facilities. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to our water conservation objectives and continue to implement strategic measures to reduce consumption while maintaining service quality for our tenants. Water Regulation Vornado faces increasing water-related regulatory obligations and associated costs across our operations. Our water expenses are driven by several key regulation factors: Infrastructure Requirements Municipal water and sewer infrastructure development and maintenance costs are regularly passed through to users, resulting in ongoing increases to our base water expenses. These infrastructure investments are essential to maintain service reliability and meet regulatory standards. Discharge Management We incur significant costs related to water discharge, including standard sewage treatment fees and specialized expenses for thermal management of discharged water to meet temperature requirements. These discharge standards help protect municipal infrastructure and support environmental compliance. Future Regulatory Considerations We anticipate additional regulatory requirements, particularly in stormwater management, across our operating regions. These emerging regulations may necessitate new infrastructure investments and operational modifications to ensure compliance. Financial Impact The combination of infrastructure costs, discharge requirements, and evolving regulations indicates a clear trend toward higher water-related operating expenses for the foreseeable future. This cost trajectory requires proactive management strategies to maintain operational efficiency while meeting all regulatory obligations. Building Infrastructure Plumbing Infrastructure Enhancement As part of our annual capital improvement process, we systematically upgrade restroom plumbing fixtures with low-flow alternatives during scheduled renovations. This ongoing modernization program ensures consistent progress in reducing water consumption across our portfolio. Leak Detection: These monitoring systems are strategically installed across critical water access points, including working pantries, cold water supply lines to hot water tanks, engine rooms, and all sprinkler systems. Local controls complement these detection systems to enable rapid response to potential leaks. HVAC System Optimization Our HVAC water efficiency program incorporates multiple water reduction and reuse initiatives. Key components include the following: Redirecting excess steam condensate to cooling towers to minimize sewer discharge Implementing more efficient mechanical systems in cooling tower operations Maintaining rigorous service schedules for chiller systems to ensure optimal performance Stormwater Management Innovation For new construction and redevelopment projects, we employ advanced stormwater management solutions. These include the following: Installing stormwater retention tanks that capture and repurpose water for irrigation and cooling tower operations Developing green roofs and terraces that naturally capture and filter stormwater Integrating sustainable design principles that minimize runoff impact Lease-Driven Provisions Vornado's lease structure promotes environmental stewardship through a dual approach: establishing high-performance, sustainably designed tenant spaces and creating an operational framework that empowers tenants to measure and manage their environmental impact. Our updated tenant fit-out guidelines incorporate enhanced standards for water- efficient plumbing fixtures, reflecting our commitment to resource conservation. These high-performance design requirements are formally codified in our leases and building regulations, ensuring consistent implementation across our portfolio. This structured approach helps maintain environmental standards while providing tenants with clear guidance for sustainable space development. Leak Detection To promote efficient resource allocation and ensure sustainable water management, Vornado implements comprehensive leak detection systems throughout our tenant spaces and building infrastructure. These monitoring systems are strategically installed across critical water access points, including working pantries, cold water supply lines to hot water tanks, engine rooms, and all sprinkler systems. Local controls complement these detection systems to enable rapid response to potential leaks. This proactive approach helps minimize water waste, reduce operational costs, and maintain the integrity of our water infrastructure while supporting our broader sustainability objectives. Water Stress Our properties face water-related environmental challenges typical of major urban centers. To assess and monitor these risks, we utilize authoritative resources, including FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. Our analysis reveals that approximately 16% of our portfolio operates in regions classified by WRI as having high or extremely high baseline water stress. This classification reflects areas where annual water withdrawals for agricultural, domestic, and industrial use approach or exceed sustainable levels. Geographic risk assessment indicates varying degrees of water variability across our markets. Our New York and San Francisco properties experience medium to high levels of interannual variability in water availability. Additionally, our San Francisco assets face medium to high seasonal fluctuations in water resources, requiring enhanced monitoring and management strategies. This comprehensive understanding of water- related risks enables us to implement targeted mitigation strategies and maintain operational resilience across our portfolio. *Any information relating to forward-looking statements, targets, goals, progress against goals, and linked information was not subject to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s review or examination and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express a conclusion or any form of assurance on such information.

An interconnected complex of distinct buildings — 555 California Street, 315 and 345 Montgomery Street — is seamlessly joined by a newly modernized concourse and vast outdoor space. Vornado has expanded our Live. Work. Do. and tenant amenity program to the campus, which includes activated outdoor space, a redesigned and leased Concourse, and an auditorium to host tenant events. The Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco recently moved into the Modernist building known as “The Cube,” part of the 555 California Campus. The museum has breathed new life into the five- story building and expanded the intentional community building and commitment that Vornado has to San Francisco and the campus. The museum, which offers free admission and keeps no permanent collection, has a reputation for showcasing both Bay Area-based and internationally renowned artists. ART on THE MART —  Illuminating Public Art  Founded in 2018, the program is a result of a 30-year commitment by THE MART owner, Vornado Realty Trust, in close collaboration with the City of Chicago, with a shared goal to provide public access to innovative contemporary art to the thousands of visitors traversing the Riverwalk each day. ART on THE MART brings cutting-edge video mapping techniques to Chicago’s Riverwalk, displaying projections of contemporary art across the 2.5-acre facade of THE MART, the largest privately held commercial building in the United States, internationally recognized as a global innovator in culture, design, and technology. ART on THE MART presents pioneering moving image work by renowned local, national, and international interdisciplinary artists. The program has commissioned work by celebrated names like Derrick Adams, Charles Atlas, Nick Cave, Barbara Kruger, and more, alongside projections by Chicago-based artists and local partner organizations, from the Art Institute of Chicago and the Adler Planetarium to the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project and Chicago Public Schools. ART on THE MART amplifies the expressions of the broadest range of artists and partners to realize the power of public art and inspire positive community engagement along the river, throughout Chicago, and beyond. Projections are visible from Wacker Drive and along the Riverwalk. The platform is free and open to the public nightly, nine months per year, from April through December. 555 California Street Campus People & Places  Vornado is providing the ICA at "The Cube" with free rent and utilities for two years to promote and activate the community. THE PENN DISTRICT, the most accessible New York City neighborhood in the heart of Manhattan, has been transformed into a sustainable campus of best-in-class office, retail, food and beverage, and open spaces. Vornado has completed a $2.4 billion transformation of the neighborhood to include over a half mile of new sidewalk paving, over two acres of green space and open-air plazas, and 73,000 SF of outdoor tenant space. The Farley Building, PENN 1, and PENN 2 have undergone significant renovations resulting in a cohesive and collaborative destination focused on health, wellness, hospitality, and accessibility. The entire district has 100% zero-carbon electricity.

Sustainability Report 2024  7776  Sustainability Report 2024 Diane Fraticelli Paralegal I grew up in New York City. Vornado has now also been my home for 25 years. Over the course of my time here, I have been encouraged to grow and to explore any opportunities that have been presented to me. It is the commitment of our team members to excellence along with the other people within Vornado that help us to achieve the vision that is set before us. I am so very grateful that I work with such a supportive, talented, and hardworking team. And one of the best parts is that the tangible legacy of Vornado is all around us. Just take a walk and you’ll see. Engagement at Vornado Our employees are our greatest asset. In their own words, here’s what they had to say about their journeys working at Vornado. Diane Fagan Property Manager I always knew I wanted a career in property management and was fortunate to start my career at Vornado. The ability to obtain my Master of Science from NYU coupled with learning from the depth and breadth of our in-house teams have provided exactly what I was looking for to grow and develop. One truly memorable and special moment was during a holiday party when Mr. Roth introduced me to the entire organization to say what a wonderful job I had done in taking over as Property Manager at 888 7th Avenue when we bought the building. Lily Chen Tax Supervisor I’ve built my career at Vornado because of the incredible learning opportunities and the supportive team I get to work with every day. I was honored to be recognized as Employee of the Year in 2024. It was incredibly rewarding to have my hard work and dedication acknowledged. This recognition reinforced my passion for what I do and my appreciation for the supportive and collaborative environment at Vornado. I’m grateful to be part of such an incredible team. Vornado’s commitment to excellence and innovation, along with its strong leadership, makes it a place where I continue to thrive and develop my expertise. Daniel Martinez Vice President, Hospitality Choosing to work at Vornado was a strategic decision that aligns with both my professional aspirations and personal values. As an industry leader in real estate and hospitality, Vornado offers unparalleled opportunities for growth, innovation, and impact. It’s their commitment to community development and enhancing the city’s infrastructure means that my work has a direct positive impact on the place that my family has always called home. Working at Vornado is more than just a career move, it’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger, benefiting not just myself but my family and the future of the world’s greatest city. Megan Yusko Property Manager I began my career with Vornado right out of college as an intern and have been provided incredible opportunities to advance my career since then. Something that I think is unique to Vornado is that the culture really encourages collaboration with colleagues at all levels, and Senior Managers are always willing to take the time to help and teach, which is something I really value and appreciate. And in my time here, I have been able to watch THE PENN DISTRICT come to life. Being a part of the transformation of both PENN 1 and the DISTRICT has been an incredible experience. Patti Jaglinski Tenant Relations Manager, The MART THE MART is such an iconic building, and I quickly realized the immense square footage was not the only larger-than-life thing about THE MART; it was also the community within. One of my favorite memories of working at THE MART/ Vornado is our first Breakthrough T1D Real Estate Games. As a Type 1 Diabetic, it meant a lot to me personally to have my company involved. Everyone got involved, which led to over $23,000 raised, and our team won top fundraiser. I am making my career at THE MART/Vornado because it’s a community I enjoy being part of and feel that I can have a positive impact. People & Places GRI 3-2

Quantitative impacts of these risks and opportunities may be considered in the future. A comprehensive list of 192 climate-related risks and opportunities was initially compiled, informed by Vornado's previous climate scenario analysis, industry research, peer benchmarking, and guidance from external technical consultants. Internal stakeholder input from executive management across all our teams prioritized risks and opportunities into a list of six for further qualitative scenario analysis. THE ANALYSIS EXAMINED two potential future scenarios: a “low-carbon economy” (LCE) based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6 and a “high-carbon economy” (HCE) based on RCP 8.5. The analysis was conducted over three time horizons to align with the selected scenarios and to inform different types of decision-making across the company. We assessed the following risks and opportunities through a broad lens, leveraging data and research unique to Vornado and available to the public through widely used climate scenario data providers. We began using the Risk FactorTM tool in 2023 to assess physical climate risk scenarios of our in-service office building stock. Results include event type, risk level, timeframe, and cost, all of which are generated through scientific-based models using validated, peer-reviewed resources. Scores are based on a scale ranging from 1 to 10, where 1 is minimal and 10 is extreme.

Long-term impacts are expected to be lower given the majority of the grid’s decarbonization should have occurred by 2040. Risk/Opportunity Scenario Description Market/Products and Services Opportunity: Responsible and green (re)development practices could lead to increased tenant attractiveness and/ or confidence from stakeholders (e.g., investors). HCE Under all time horizons, potential tenants may indicate a slight preference toward green development and may choose Vornado properties under an “all-else-equal” scenario. LCE In the short-term, green buildings may continue to factor into some tenants and investors preferences. In the medium- and long-term, green buildings will likely become an increasingly important factor in tenant and investor decisions, making green development a competitive advantage for Vornado. Energy Source/Resource Efficiency Opportunity: Increasing building energy efficiency and energy storage could lead to improved tenant retention, lower utility costs, increased resilience against extreme weather events, and increased regulatory compliance. HCE Under all time horizons, building energy efficiency and energy storage may lead to slight increases in tenant retention, resilience, and lower utility costs. LCE In the short-term, investors and tenants may display potential interest toward energy efficiency and storage. In the medium- and long-term, tenants may demonstrate that efficiency is a key concern, utility costs may decrease, buildings may demonstrate slightly better resilience during flooding events, and Vornado may be able to better comply with emerging regulations. There may be incentives across all time horizons associated with green energy purchasing from utility companies and government.

Sustainability Report 2024  9392  Sustainability Report 2024 Risk Management RESULTS of the climate- related scenario analysis are integrated into Vornado’s Enterprise Risk Management framework and inform the risk profiles of our properties and investment strategy. The Risk Committee works with input from leadership and each of Vornado’s divisions annually to review risk management procedures. An Internal Audit Risk Assessment (“Risk Assessment”), which highlights future changes in the risk profile of the business that need to be addressed, is conducted as needed. The results of the Risk Assessment are incorporated into an Internal Audit Plan that assigns each identified risk a high, medium, or low score across various risk factors and topics. Risk Assessments are presented to the Board Audit Committee in the beginning of the year. If approved, the plan is then executed, the risks are monitored, and assessments are performed at the direction of the Risk Committee. The Sustainability Team and other business units actively manage and monitor topics, leveraging the internal audit plan, metrics and targets, and management and stakeholder feedback throughout the year. Risk is factored into decision-making at every level of our operations, from the acquisition of new assets to the design of renovations that improve the experiences of Vornado tenants. Vornado is responsive to the risks and opportunities considered in the scenario analysis given Vornado has the capacity to adapt our strategy and capital allocation across each time horizon and include the consideration of climate risk and the opportunity at each stage of the property life cycle.

GRI 1 used GRI 1: Foundation 2021 GRI 2: General Disclosures Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index MANAGEMENT OF VORNADO REALTY Trust is responsible for the completeness, accuracy, and validity of the disclosures in the GRI Content Index included within the accompanying Sustainability Report of Vornado Realty Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management is responsible for the collection, quantification, and presentation of the disclosures and for the selection of the criteria, which management believes provide an objective basis for measuring and reporting on the disclosures. Measurement of certain disclosures may include estimates and assumptions that are subject to substantial inherent measurement uncertainty, including, for example, the accuracy and precision of GHG conversion factors or estimation methodologies used by management. The selection by management of a different but acceptable measurement method, input data, or model assumptions, or a different point value within the range of reasonable values produced by the model, may have resulted in materially different disclosures being reported. Management asserts that the disclosures in the GRI Content Index included within the accompanying Sustainability Report of Vornado Realty Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, are presented in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards. Disclosure Description Response The organization and its reporting practices 2-1 Organizational details Vornado Realty Trust Vornado is a fully-integrated REIT and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders are dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.4% of the, common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024. 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY United States of America 2-2 Entities included in the organization’s sustainability reporting The entities included in this 2024 Sustainability Report include Vornado Realty Trust (VNO); BMS; and Alexander’s, Inc.

Sustainability Report 2024  107106  Sustainability Report 2024 GRI 2: General Disclosures GRI 2: General Disclosures Disclosure Description Response Governance (continued) 2-12 Role of the highest governance body in overseeing the management of impacts While day-to-day risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s senior management team, the Board is responsible for the overall supervision of the Company’s risk management activities. The Board’s oversight of the material risks faced by our Company occurs at both the full Board level and at the committee level. The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, reputational, cybersecurity, environmental, social, governance, and climate change risks. The full Board (or the appropriate committee in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) receives these reports from the appropriate “risk owner” within our organization or in connection with other management-prepared presentations of risk to enable the Board (or committee, as applicable) to understand our risk identification, risk management, and risk mitigation strategies. By “risk owner,” we mean that person or group of persons who is or are primarily responsible for overseeing a particular risk. As part of its charter, the Audit Committee discusses our guidelines and policies with respect to which our management assesses and manages the Company’s exposure to risk and reports to the full Board its conclusions as a partial basis for further discussion by the full Board. This enables the Board and the applicable committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships. In addition to the Board’s review of risks applicable to the Company generally, the Board conducts regular strategic and personnel reviews.

Stakeholder Engagement 2-29 Approach to stakeholder engagement The Corporate Stakeholder Engagement strategy is applied consistently across all operations. We have a robust and ongoing shareholder engagement program and demonstrated responsiveness to feedback. We review our Sustainability Materiality Assessment each year with our stakeholders in preparation of our overall sustainability strategy and the annual Sustainability Report, reconfirming and expanding our topics of materiality. Stakeholders were identified and selected through our materiality assessment & stakeholder engagement efforts that were formed back in 2017, aligning stakeholders with key sustainability topics of concern and an approach to act on and address these topics. We renew this process each year with our stakeholders, reconfirming and expanding our topics of materiality. This engagement was considered and incorporated into the 2024 report as appropriate. Tenant Engagement pp. 64-67 & Materiality Assessment pp. 90-91. 2-30 Collective bargaining agreements 81% of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. For employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, the working conditions and terms of employment of these employees are not influenced or determined based on other collective bargaining agreements. Disclosure Description Response 3-1 Process to determine material topics Our material topics are identified through a robust governance structure and processes along with an annual risk assessment, including identification, prioritization, monitoring, and engagement discussions with stakeholders. Vornado conducts a risk workshop and market research effort as a part of its process to identify material topics, described in our EMS process and in our Risk Management section of this report. Our analysis includes, among other things: Evaluation of Sustainability frameworks and standards, ratings and rankings, asessments, regional building performance standards and regulations, to general and industry specific external research reports. Interviewing members of the Executive Team who have direct responsibility of executing all company strategy. Gathering feedback from stakeholders, including but not limited to - tenants, investors, regulators, utilities, community boards, and industry-relevant trade organizations. We evaluated a list of topics from the GRI framework and examined these issues in depth, including areas with actual and potential negative and positive impact, as well as broader sustainability trends. Each issue’s relative importance was evaluated based on an assessment of feedback and was considered in determining material topics listed on GRI indicator 3-2.

While Vornado has not formally adopted the Precautionary Principle, we apply a precautionary approach in our operational planning or when introducing new products to our buildings. GHG emissions and indoor air pollutants are among many of the environmental risks that we seek to avoid and mitigate. All material topics are guided by standards set forth in Vornado’s policies; see Governance pp. 84 of this report and visit https://www.vno.com/sustainability/ overview and scroll to “Policies” section. Impact: “Globally, the building sector contributes more than one-third of energy consumption and GHG emissions” (https:// www.iea.org/energy-system/buildings). At Vornado, sustainability and resilience are important lenses through which we view all development projects at any scale. Our strategy focuses on sustainable development inclusive of carbon neutrality, operational efficiencies, human health, minimizing material resources, and climate change adaptation. We collaborate with our community partners, vendors, and our company’s stakeholders to support driving down our carbon footprint in the regions we operate. See Sustainability Governance pp. 10-11, Governance pp. 84, Materiality Assessment pp. 90-91, Risk Management pp. 92-93. Resilience and Adaptation:  Our climate risk assessment informs the risk profiles of our properties and is a component of our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) assessment during all stages of a building cycle. Understanding climate-related risks enables us to better assess potential acquisitions through the due diligence process, impacts within our (re)development efforts, and exposure of our operational assets.

We consider our properties and maintenance of the buildings to be our services provided to customers. The products purchased to maintain and clean the properties are purchased by Building Maintenance Service (BMS) in NY, NJ, IL, and Metro Services in CA. The responsible purchasing agents, BMS & Metro Services, review monthly supply reports from all vendors and identify areas of improvement to address health and safety across products’ life cycle. Therefore, 100% of the products purchased by our janitorial service providers are evaluated monthly for health and safety impacts. 79% of the annual purchasing adheres to third- party certifications for janitorial supplies, while the remaining 21% is evaluated for product replacement and improvement when feasible. The applicable third-party certifications are as follows: ECOLOGO, Green Seal, EPA Safer Choice Standard, USDA Certified Biobased, EPA’s Design for Environment, and EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines. *Reporting boundaries: Intensities: 2024 intensities were calculated by dividing the energy consumption, water consumption, and GHG emissions from the properties owned by Vornado at December 31, 2024, by the total square footage of that same list of properties. Energy and Water: All consolidated entities and unconsolidated joint ventures where Vornado influences control of operations, as of 12/31/2024. Buildings not included are those where 90% or more of the building’s office or residential square footage is under development, as of 12/31/2024. Q4 2024 energy and water data was estimated at properties where actual consumption data was not available in time for the publication of this report. Energy and water were estimated by applying the same month consumption from prior year. Approximately 1% of total energy consumption and 2% of total water consumption was estimated. One property has full-year estimations for energy and water. The estimation consumption for this property accounts for an additional 4% of total energy consumption and 5% of total water consumption. Waste: Approximately 91% of all in-service square footage as of 12/31/2024, not listed as under development. Waste generation in 2023 and 2024 is represented by actual data from waste haulers. Excluded from waste data are properties where waste hauling is not directly managed by Vornado, such as high-street retail and residential properties. Construction & Demolition waste is excluded from the reporting boundary as it is considered extraordinary waste, which is in line with industry standards. C&D for FY24 was 4,367 metric tons, of which 3,722 metric tons were recycled and 645 metric tons were landfilled. All C&D waste was nonhazardous."

Sustainability Report 2024  117116  Sustainability Report 2024 computations, compared the disclosures to underlying records, or observed the data collection process. The preparation of the disclosures in the GRI Content Index included within the accompanying Sustainability Report requires management to interpret the criteria, make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Measurement of certain disclosures may include estimates and assumptions that are subject to substantial inherent measurement uncertainty, including, for example, the accuracy and precision of GHG conversion factors, or estimation methodologies used by management. Obtaining sufficient, appropriate review evidence to support our conclusion does not reduce the inherent uncertainty in the disclosures. The selection by management of a different but acceptable measurement method, input data, or model assumptions, or a different point value within the range of reasonable values produced by the model, may have resulted in materially different disclosures being reported. Our review was limited to the disclosures in the GRI Content Index as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. All other information presented within the Sustainability Report, including any recalculated information relating to periods prior to the year- ended December 31, 2024, information relating to forward looking statements, targets, goals, progress against goals, linked information, and denoted by an asterisk (*) of the Sustainability Report was not subject to our review and, accordingly, we do not express a conclusion or any form of assurance on such information. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the disclosures in the GRI Content Index in order for it to be presented in accordance with the GRI Standards.

The Company’s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the disclosures in the GRI Content Index based on our review. Our review was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in AT-C Section 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, and AT-C Section 210, Review Engagements. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain limited assurance about whether any material modifications should be made to the disclosures in the GRI Content Index in order for it to be presented in accordance with the criteria. The procedures performed in a review vary in nature and timing from, and are substantially less in extent than, an examination, the objective of which is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the disclosures in the GRI Content Index are presented in accordance with the criteria, in all material respects, in order to express an opinion. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Because of the limited nature of the engagement, the level of assurance obtained in a review is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had an examination been performed. We believe that the review evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion. We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical requirements in accordance with relevant ethical requirements in accordance with the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. We applied the Statements on Quality Control Standards established by the AICPA and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control. The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgment. In performing our review, we performed analytical procedures, inquiries, and other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Leasable floor area is reported in square feet, which is consistent with our financial reporting, and is a more relevant unit measure to users of this report. 2 The definition of “indirectly managed assets” is solely based on the landlord/tenant relationship and is aligned with the 2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment Reference Guide: “In the past, GRESB used to classify assets as Managed or Indirectly Managed,” based on, “Where a single tenant has the sole authority to introduce and implement operating and/or environmental policies and measures, the tenant should be assumed to have operational control, the asset should be considered to be an Indirectly Managed Asset.” In 2020, this concept was replaced by “Landlord Controlled” and “Tenant Controlled” areas, where the same notion of operational control applies to differentiate one from the other. However, while the rationale remains unchanged compared to previous years, if both the landlord and tenant have the authority to introduce and implement any or all of the policies mentioned above, the area should be reported as landlord controlled. Percentage of indirectly managed assets shall be disclosed separately into the four categories of “New York,” “THE MART,” “555 California,” and “Other,” which aligns with the entity’s financial reporting. 3 Average occupancy rate is an average of the reported occupancy for each of the four quarters in the reporting period and is disclosed separately for each portion of the entity’s portfolio into the four categories of “New York,” “THE MART,” “555 California,” and “Other,” which aligns with the entity’s financial reporting.

Sustainability Report 2024  123122  Sustainability Report 2024 Management of Tenant Sustainability Impacts At Vornado, tenants consume the majority of the electricity consumed in our properties, as is evidenced by the submetered or separately metered electricity we record throughout our portfolio. Because so much of our energy consumption is under tenant control, it is essential to engage with the tenants as a partner in reducing our carbon footprint. There is clear value to be realized in communicating to and working with our tenants on their energy and water consumption and to encourage their participation in best practices in resource conservation. We memorialized our commitment to green lease initiatives through our Platinum level certification by the Green Lease Leaders initiative developed by the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) with support from the U.S. Department of Energy. Our standard lease agreement includes several components that encourage tenant energy conservation. Across our office portfolio, we require submetered or separately metered electricity consumption for all tenants over 5,000 square feet and promote submeters in smaller spaces. We also require submetered or separately metered water consumption for all tenants whose predicted use is expected to exceed normal business practice. The submetered arrangement enables Vornado to share energy and water consumption with our tenants monthly, at a minimum, through the generation of the submeter bill. Tenants are billed transparently based on their actual and exclusive consumption as recorded on the submeter. Included on the submeter bill are Vornado’s energy reduction targets and links to Vornado’s corporate sustainability page, where our broader strategy on energy and water management is found. Elsewhere in the lease, we include a clause to recover capital costs that reduce operating expenses — whether utility costs or another cost reduction benefit — and we may amortize that recovery over the useful life of the project. Because we have been applying this practice for several years and now have an extensive coverage of this clause across our entire leased portfolio, we have chosen to also report on the percentage of total leases containing this cost recovery clause, as opposed to new leases only. In 2024, leases containing a cost recovery clause for energy efficiency improvements are 63.11% of our New York leases, 67.97% of THE MART leases, 83.00% of our California leases, and 1.88% of our Other leases, or 63.25% of our company’s total leases in place. The percentage of our in-service office new leases containing a cost recovery clause for energy efficiency improvements is higher than retail leases. Where there is an economic or environmental benefit, our company will prioritize sustainability requirements in a tenant fit- out. Our revised tenant high-performance fit-out guidelines include enhanced requirements for energy-efficient lighting and controls, HVAC equipment, and water efficient plumbing fixtures. These high- performance design requirements are also included in our rules and regulations, which are also referenced in the lease. We believe that our lease fosters a sustainably designed tenant space and an ongoing environment that encourages tenants to actively manage and measure their own consumption and carbon footprint. Beyond the lease, we distinguish ourselves with one-on-one, group, in-person, and virtual engagement with our tenants on sustainability. In 2024, our team became a Real-Time Energy Manager + Tenant program provider through NYSERDA in order to better support our tenant engagement and reduction efforts. We hosted four in-person sustainability roundtables in all our major regions of operations. Other in-person and virtual town halls concentrated on waste diversion and recycling. During these roundtables, we discuss broader corporate sustainability trends and regulatory updates, in addition to best practices. We collect information from our tenants that contributes to mandatory energy rating schemes, such as the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager profiles we submit for compliance with local laws in New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, and Chicago. We encourage tenants to consider ENERGY STAR Tenant Space recognition and leverage ENERGY STAR Treasure Hunt programs to identify low- and no-cost measures to reduce consumption. We meet with tenants on-site to survey opportunities to save energy and water. We train our tenants on recycling programs. We host energy and waste reduction competitions with tenants to promote awareness and foster their participation. Our tenants have also expressed support for renewable energy procurement, which we completed on their behalf in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago properties where tenants are submetered and Vornado has purchased Renewable Energy Certificates. Vornado is committed to providing a comfortable, efficient, and technologically advanced work environment for each of our tenants, constantly striving to add value for our tenants through responsive service and programs. To that end, Vornado developed an app (LIVE.WORK. DO.) for all our tenants that allows building access, announces building events and information, and provides benefits and promotions to tenants. The Sustainability section of the app and tenant portal provide guidance to our tenants about sustainability initiatives in each building. The Sustainability section of the app explains to the user our goals, our progress toward our sustainability goals, and links to more information, as well as detailed guidance on how to become more involved in Vornado’s sustainability programming, including ENERGY STAR. We provide contact information, updated information on ENERGY STAR scores, organics collection, energy-saving tips, and upcoming events, like Climate Week, for participation and engagement. Our app usage continues to increase with the ability to enter buildings using the functionality provided. This, in turn, has increased engagement with our tenants who now know where to look for information on events, initiatives, and contacts. We also publicize our events, challenges, and initiatives through the Captivate elevator screens in each building. We hold ourselves accountable and measure the success of our engagement. Success is measured in the observed reduction of energy from submetered tenant spaces, the integration of organics throughout our portfolio, the waste diversion rate, and the square footage of space that our team reaches through our engagement programs.

Sustainability Report 2024  125124  Sustainability Report 2024 All carbon emission reduction strategies, whether property specific, regional, or portfolio-wide, present different risks and opportunities. Risks include unsuccessful investment in new technologies; costs to transition to lower emissions solutions; achievement of regional utilities’ decarbonization; increased pricing on GHG emissions; reputational loss; and uncertainty in market signals, such as utility costs or carbon taxes. Financial impacts of such risks could include increased capital and operating costs, increased or unexpected shifts in energy costs, and decreased asset value. Opportunities, on the other hand, include reduction of energy and resource consumption; use of public-sector incentives, such as utility rebates and demand response revenue; diversification of energy resources, including renewables; adaptation of new technologies; and access to new capital. Financial impacts of such opportunities include reduction of energy and/or operating costs; favorable ROI analysis; increased value of fixed assets; reduced exposure to fossil fuel price increases; reduction of utility costs for our tenants; various benefits to workforce management and planning; lower cost of capital; and ability to take advantage of incentive, rebate, and tax incentive programs. Additional opportunities also include the reduction or elimination of burden from emerging carbon pricing or carbon tax mechanisms, as well as the reduction or avoidance of carbon-emissions-related penalties. All three of our regions also have emissions-reporting obligations, which require us to publicly disclose our properties’ carbon emissions via ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. We consider this requirement as an opportunity to measure the carbon emissions from our properties and manage the reduction of those emissions on an ongoing basis. These programs combine strategies of absolute energy reduction, through efficiency mandates, as well as fossil fuel intensity reduction of utility-delivered energy. We discuss the intent and requirements of these programs with our property managers and engineers, as well as our tenants. They provide an important framework to the GHG reduction goals we set with our properties. In 2019, New York City passed the Climate Mobilization Act (CMA), which contained several local laws to transition New York City to reduce GHG emissions 40% by the year 2030 and 80% by the year 2050, below 2005 levels. Included in the CMA was Local Law 97, which calculates carbon intensity for buildings on a per square foot basis and assigns limits to intensity beginning in 2024, with reporting in 2025. The law further assigns penalties of $268 per ton of carbon calculated in exceedance of the limits. We are planning energy efficiency strategies to avoid penalties at our NYC properties and consider the cost for energy efficiency to be part of our transition costs to a low-carbon environment. We also consider penalty avoidance in the value stack of energy efficiency projects and the penalty amount of $268 per ton of carbon to be considered when making capital allocation decisions. Vornado Realty Trust has signed on as a supporter of the framework recommended by the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We believe this framework will guide the real estate industry toward well- informed disclosure of climate change risks and opportunities. As our internal and external discussions on climate risk and disclosure evolve, we plan to provide expanded public disclosure consistent with regulatory requirements. Climate Change Adaptation Code Activity Metric Total New York THE MART 555 California Other Unit of Measure IF-RE-450a.1 Area of properties located in 100-year flood zones, by property subsector. 863,000 173,000 0 0 690,000 Square Feet IF-RE-450a.2 Description of climate change risk exposure analysis, degree of systematic portfolio exposure, and strategies for mitigating risks. We identify and assess our exposure to climate change risk on a “low-carbon economy” (LCE) scenario based on the October 2018 Special Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6 and a “high- carbon economy” (HCE) based on RCP 8.5. We find these scenarios to be relevant to our properties for two reasons. The first is that they provide potential future status on the physical risks each scenario presents between the present time and beyond 2040. The second is that they provide a shorter-term view of transitional risks related to climate-related policy change that our properties could be subject to. Each of our principal markets of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco has existing or pending legislation that would limit carbon emissions to align with a 1.5°C scenario. We consider the costs for compliance with such legislation to be a financial impact attributable to the transition to a lower-carbon environment. The risks and opportunities for Vornado do not differ substantially across subsectors and regions, and our approach described below takes the risks and opportunities in each subsector and region into consideration. Our buildings are located in regions that have a recent history of physical risks, such as extreme weather events, including but not limited to hurricanes and superstorms, nor’easters and ice storms, tornadoes, wildfires, temperature extremes, and heavy precipitation events. Under the business-as-usual scenario, there may be an increase in the frequency and severity of these events between now and beyond 2040. Such events may impact our buildings individually, depending on a building’s specific use, design, and location characteristics, or regionally, depending on the magnitude of the event. We are also aware that while less than 5% of our property square footage is in areas designated as flood zones by FEMA, our coastal locations are susceptible to sea level rise (SLR). Various global warming scenarios could bring about differing amounts of SLR between now and the year 2100. Financial impacts under various warming scenarios include, but are not limited to, increases in capital and operating costs, increases in insurance premiums, increases in energy costs, and increases in overall utility costs. Our properties are located in urban areas, which means the vitality of our properties is reliant on sound transportation and utility infrastructure. If that infrastructure is compromised in any way by an extreme weather event, such a compromise could have an adverse impact on our local economies and populations, as well as on our tenants’ ability to do business in our buildings. This risk is not unique to Vornado but is endemic to our regions. Our strategies for mitigating physical risks require a combination of adaptive and preventative measures with a proactive reduction of carbon emissions. Adaptive and preventative measures are executed at both the property level and regional level. We adapt our properties to be resilient against the impact of climate change, with details of our resilience measures found in the Resilience and Adaptation section of this report. We train our operators in disaster risk management and emergency operating procedures. At the regional level, our cities and utilities adapt by creating programs that improve resilience against climate-related impacts. Examples of such programs include New York City’s AdaptNYC plan and Consolidated Edison’s Storm Hardening Protection Plan in New York; Resilient Chicago and Commonwealth Edison’s Resilient Electric Grid system in Chicago; and Resilient SF and PG&E’s Company Emergency Response Plan in San Francisco. We have disclosed our Scope 3 carbon emissions that are attributed to certain fuel and energy-related activities that are not included in Scope 1 or 2. These emissions are from energy that is submetered or delivered directly from the utilities to our tenants and consumed by our tenants. We plan to expand our inventory of Scope 3 emissions to include additional categories relevant to our business and required by legislation. ¹Any information relating to forward-looking statements, goals and progress against goals, was not subject to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s examination and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express a conclusion or any form of assurance on such information. Normalization Note: In 2023 and 2024 like-for-like energy consumption data has been normalized to adjust for fluctuations in weather and occupancy, while water consumption data has been normalized to adjust for fluctuations in occupancy only. Weather normalization uses inputs of total degree days (TDD), a fixed portion of energy consumption, known as a Base Load, and a variable portion of energy consumption, known as a Seasonal Load. Occupancy is normalized based on the following methodology: 1) An Occupancy Normalization Adjustment was calculated as most of Vornado’s large commercial office buildings have ingested full-year physical occupancy counts in both 2023 and 2024. Therefore, we are using the portfolio’s average monthly physical occupancy percentage changes on an annual basis year over year to normalize occupancy and applying that methodology to the buildings that do not have occupancy sensors. For buildings with sensors, their building-specific occupancy percentage change will be applied. For buildings that management knows did not have aligned occupancy changes, a note will be added and the occupancy normalization calculation will not be applied. 2) Weather Normalized Energy’s Seasonal Load is subject to Occupancy Normalization Adjustment based on field research that demonstrates that a third of the seasonal load is occupancy dependent.

The Company’s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the metrics in the SASB Index based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in AT-C Section 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, and AT-C Section 205, Assertion-Based Examination Engagements. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the metrics in the SASB Index are presented in accordance with the criteria, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the metrics in the SASB Index. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the metrics in the SASB Index, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical requirements in accordance with relevant ethical requirements in accordance with the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. We applied the Statements on Quality Control Standards established by the AICPA and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control. The preparation of the metrics in the SASB Index included within the accompanying Sustainability Report requires management to interpret the criteria, make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Measurement of certain metrics may include estimates and assumptions that are subject to substantial inherent measurement uncertainty, including, for example, the accuracy and precision of conversion factors or estimation methodologies used by management. Obtaining sufficient, appropriate evidence to support our opinion does not reduce the inherent uncertainty in the metrics. The selection by management of a different but acceptable measurement method, input data, or model assumptions, or a different point value within the range of reasonable values produced by the model, may have resulted in materially different metrics being reported. Our examination was limited to the metrics in the SASB Index as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. All other information presented within the Sustainability Report, including any recalculated information relating to periods prior to the year-ended December 31, 2024, information relating to forward looking statements, goals, progress against goals, linked information, and denoted by an asterisk (*) of the Sustainability Report was not subject to our examination and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on such information.

WE HAVE EXAMINED MANAGEMENT of Vornado Realty Trust’s (the "Company") assertion that the Scope 1 Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 included within the accompanying Sustainability Report of Vornado Realty Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Sustainability Report”) are presented in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative 305: Emissions 2016 Topic Standard (the “GRI 305 Standards”). The Company’s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 based on our review. Our review was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in AT-C Section 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, and AT-C Section 210, Review Engagements. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain limited assurance about whether any material modifications should be made to the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 in order for it to be presented in accordance with the criteria. The procedures performed in a review vary in nature and timing from, and are substantially less in extent than, an examination, the objective of which is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 are presented in accordance with the criteria, in all material respects, in order to express an opinion. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Because of the limited nature of the engagement, the level of assurance obtained in a review is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had an examination been performed. We believe that the review evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion. We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical requirements in accordance with relevant ethical requirements in accordance with the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. We applied the Statements on Quality Control Standards established by the AICPA and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control. The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgment. In performing our review, we performed analytical procedures, inquiries, and other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. For a selection of the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49, we performed tests of mathematical accuracy of computations, compared the disclosures to underlying records, or observed the data collection process. The preparation of the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 included within the accompanying Sustainability Report requires management to interpret the criteria, make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Measurement of certain disclosures may include estimates and assumptions that are subject to substantial inherent measurement uncertainty, including, for example, the accuracy and precision of GHG conversion factors, or estimation methodologies used by management. Obtaining sufficient, appropriate review evidence to support our conclusion does not reduce the inherent uncertainty in the disclosures. The selection by management of a different but acceptable measurement method, input data, or model assumptions, or a different point value within the range of reasonable values produced by the model, may have resulted in materially different disclosures being reported. Our review was limited to the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. All other information presented within the Sustainability Report, including information relating to forward looking statements, targets, goals, progress against goals, linked information, and denoted by an asterisk (*) of the Sustainability Report was not subject to our review and, accordingly, we do not express a conclusion or any form of assurance on such information. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, and GHG emissions intensity, each under the financial control method, on page 49 in order for it to be presented in accordance with the GRI 305 Standards.
