Dwellworks 2023 ESG Impact Report

ESG is Evolving; Our Commitment to Stakeholders Hasn’t Changed

ESG is a structure for stakeholders to understand non-financial measures. Over the past 3+ years, stakeholder expectations for ESG have evolved in scope and expanded in requirements. While some commentators question the purpose of ESG, Dwellworks is not focused on terminology or the media debate. We’re focused on stakeholder requirements and the effective extension of our core values, which have always included respect and inclusion, business sustainability, and good governance. We act on those core values through a facts-and-data based approach. It’s why we earned SBTi approval for our emissions reduction goals, why we review our Inclusion Committee’s recommendations for non-profit donations through Charity Navigator, and why we require annual training in data security, HR practices, and business controls. Our team and network partners understand and participate in the connection between values, compliance, and results. Our stakeholders are right to expect demonstrated progress on issues impacting people and the planet, just as they are right to expect us to be a well-run operation that invests intelligently, pushes for innovation, demonstrates growth and profitability, and leads by example. Taking all those expectations into account, we remain focused on our core approach to ESG, while appropriately adjusting specific actions.
