Social

75% of supplier spend committed to principles by 2030

In the cities where we operate in US and Canada, we focus on three key areas to maximize contributions to communities:

Housing: Prioritize creation and retention of both market and non-market housing units e.g., Waterfront Station.
Education: Support through school outreach, internships, scholarships, and apprenticeship programs. e.g., UrbanPlan and Project Destined.
ESG Supply Chain Principles: Our overarching ESG Partner Principles have been developed and consider the environment, community support and ethical business practices.

Local charitable giving in excess of $800k annually via the Westminster Foundation.

One week paid annual time off for volunteering to social causes.
