CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP ESRT’s greatest strength is our people. We harness the power of our individual team members’ strengths and shared goals to serve our customers and build value for our stakeholders. We encourage our colleagues to make use of that same power to create positive impacts on the communities in which they live and work. We work to bolster the health, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and resilience of our buildings to improve the well-being, satisfaction, and productivity of our colleagues and tenants. Our team’s range of experiences and perspectives enriches the quality of ideas and decisions made within the organization. Colleague engagement, development, and growth are critical to our success. Our practices, policies, and behaviors maximize the contribution of our colleagues and contribute to and create value for our tenants and the communities we serve. Our strategy focuses on four core stakeholder groups:
COLLEAGUES
TENANTS
COMMUNITY
SUPPLIERS
We foster an environment in which our colleagues
Our current and prospective tenants drive our business and are our top priority. We create healthy, productive, and sustainably built and operated environments that attract and retain tenants. Our modernized, amenitized, energy-efficient buildings feature premier IEQ, and our amenities help create a culture of collaboration and well-being. The result is in our performance; in 2024, ESRT signed 1.33 million rentable square feet of office and retail leases.
We partner with organizations that support our local communities, protect our planet, promote opportunity, and provide our colleagues with opportunities to make impactful change for the better. We encourage our team members to volunteer in our communities and make it easy to do so with corporate-sponsored group volunteer activities and an annual paid day off for volunteer work. We aim for 100% colleague participation in volunteer work annually.
As ethical conduct is at the core of ESRT’s values, we require our partners, suppliers, and vendors to adhere to our Vendor Code of Conduct. This Code holds our vendors to the high standards to which we hold ourselves. This is important to facilitate our best-in-class service to our tenants and quality environment for our colleagues.
feel safe, respected, and motivated to do their best work. We
invest in our colleagues’ career development and education and provide a comprehensive benefits plan to promote and support their continued health, well-being, and productivity.
