Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
When you join PGIM Real Estate, you’ll find yourself inspired by a workforce that believes diversity of experience, backgrounds and perspectives leads to better outcomes for our clients, employees and our communities. We are committed to cultivating a workplace that attracts, retains, and develops diverse talent, and promote an inclusive company culture that respects and celebrates diversity of all kinds.
Our Initiatives & Partnerships
Advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a priority at PGIM Real Estate. As an organization, we recognize that we have a responsibility to advocate for racial justice and equity and to actively be part of the solution by mobilizing our global resource base.
With offices around the world and established business practices, we recognize that we have an opportunity to develop a more focused framework for change.
In 2020, our senior management teams collected feedback from employees and partnered with the Inclusion & Leadership Network to develop the advancing diversity, equity and inclusion workstreams framework.
PGIM Real Estate’s commitment to doing the right thing extends into the communities the firm operates and invests in.
Our desire to serve our communities, in combination with our dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion, led us to focus, in 2020, on three organizations that serve disadvantaged youth: YouthBuild, KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program), and Project Destined.
We are proud to share updates on our long standing and new opportunity youth programs, participation and progress in the UK, Mexico and United States.
Building health certifications reflect PGIM Real Estate’s commitment to prioritizing the health and wellness of its employees and tenants.
In 2020, Regions Plaza achieved the first Fitwel 3-Star rating in Georgia and the first Fitwel 3-Star rating under the Built Certification Pathway applying v2.1 in the United States.
Regions Plaza currently performs in the top 6% of Fitwel projects in the United States, and it was the highest-scoring project applying Fitwel Multi-Tenant Base Building v2.1.
