We established a dedicated ESG team under the leadership of Karen Cusmano, and are working to further advance our ESG actions and reporting. We formalized our approach to ESG initiatives through the creation of Embrace by Veris Residential, and committed to reducing our carbon footprint and increasing our employee diversity across the organization, creating even stronger alignment between our team and our communities. We redefined the apartment living experience by creating best-in- class communities designed to prioritize residents’ sustainability values. We recently launched leasing at Haus25, which encapsulates our vision for the future—to create immersive, responsible spaces that align with goals related to health, wellness, and holistically inspired living. We also adopted cutting-edge technology to improve energy consumption and upgraded building management systems to include smart meters and thermostats as well as remote energy conservation via mobile devices. Furthermore, all our wholly owned multifamily properties were awarded the WELL Health-Safety certification in 2021. Our people are our greatest asset, and we have taken steps to foster an even more equitable, diverse workplace that attracts and retains top talent.
