Report Your Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts
Attention: Community Managers
Essex and Social Responsibility
Essex is committed to keeping residents' well-being as a top priority, creating a positive workplace for all employees, and reducing our environmental footprint—all of which should contribute to long-term returns for our investors. Essex will publish our Corporate Social Responsibility report this year, and we need your help to include all the good work you distributed.
Throughout our communities, you’ll find great examples of our company-wide commitment to socially conscious practices. Whether built into our grounds, buildings, and amenities, or initiatives centered around resident and employee participation, these efforts have many positive effects including increased resident loyalty and engagement, reduced operating costs, and a cleaner, greener earth. These initiatives include back-to-school fundraisers, green initiatives, and anything else that benefited your neighborhood or broader community. Some communities may have discount programs to police officers, teachers, and firefighters that serve our neighborhood.
Many Essex buildings are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, and we consistently achieve high scores for our sustainability and social efforts. We know that E-Team members work hard to maintain these certifications and scores while also working to expand our social efforts by creating events and opportunities designed to benefit our neighbors and the environment.
