Dwellworks 2023 ESG Impact Report

Evolving Requirements, Consistent Values

“

The conversation about ESG continues to evolve, but our commitment to environmental, social, and governance initiatives remains grounded as it has been from the beginning in our core values and our accountability to stakeholders. Dwellworks has always been closely engaged with our clients, customers, associates, supply chain, and investors, as well as with regulatory agencies, the communities where we work and live, and the world we operate in. It’s how we became the trusted global leader for destination services and a disruptor in global temporary living solutions. And it’s how we’ve earned the accolade we’re most proud of, a Top Workplace for our associates. New stakeholder requirements are a positive indicator of our dynamic business environment, one where we’re all interested in a better, more satisfying future. As a company whose leading value is integrity, we have always been committed to fair practice and fair social policies. Sustainability was in our DNA long before we began measuring our carbon footprint. As for governance, our good outcomes come from a solid foundation in smart hires and great people, compliance, risk mitigation, business controls, and awareness of opportunity. We embrace our environmental and social actions, but our results happen because we are a well-run company that has its priorities straight. Two years ago, companies and employees around the world were excited to emerge from the global pandemic with opportunities to travel, move, and connect in person again. Global talent travel and mobility surged, and dormant systems and capacity were stretched. Last year employers were more conservative, reacting to concerns about inflation and potential recession, slowing down global mobility activity in general. The slowdown became an opportunity for us to invest in our systems, processes, and talent, reinforcing the infrastructure and sustainable mindset that will be needed for the coming changes in mobility and business travel.
