ESG Core Values
GID’s ESG Program was founded on five core values that demonstrate a holistic approach to real estate investment.
-
Responsible Investments
ESG is just one of several factors considered when making investment decisions. ESG alone is not a determinant in any investment decision.
-
Efficient Properties
We incorporate environmental and efficiency factors into our design and operations process, balancing use of natural resources with financial savings and operating performance.
-
Healthy People
We strive to improve the health, well-being, and safety of our employees and residents. We value and respect diversity within our company and within our apartment communities, continually promoting inclusiveness and equality.
-
Resilient Communities
We aim to implement sustainable strategies to create resilient communities.
-
Transparent Operations
We conduct our business transparently and with accountability.
