Diversity

Nareit members are invited to submit internal news stories, photos, social posts, or videos of their Black History Month observances.

The past two years have been transformative for ESG issues in the United States and around the world. Here are just a few key ESG issues for the industry to watch in 2022.

The U.S. REIT industry – through the properties it owns and operates – supports the employment of nearly 3 million people, making our DEI action both necessary and impactful.

Nareit Senior Vice President of Industry Affairs and Social Responsibility Nathaalie Carey discussed Nareit’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Nareit’s John Jones discussed new diversity research findings at a recent Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute conference.

The deadline to apply for Nareit’s 2021 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Recognition Awards has been extended to Monday, July 19 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

As investors and the public are increasingly focused on corporate responsibility, REITs have continued to advance their ESG initiatives in 2020 by integrating ESG issues into corporate strategies, addressing climate change risks, prioritizing social impacts and DEI, and more.

Applications for the 2021 awards must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, July 12, 2021.

Nareit is partnering with Bloomberg Intelligence to host a free webinar, “REITs and ESG: Challenge and Opportunity,” to explore areas of ESG focus for REITs.

To coincide with and in recognition of Women’s History Month, Nareit is asking female REIT executives “What advice would you give to your younger self when you were just getting started in your career?”
