Program Highlights

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

At Columbia, we believe that valuing individual differences, maintaining equality, and creating an environment of inclusion across all facets of our business is essential to our continued success.

We embrace our responsibility to have a positive impact on the communities from which we benefit and weave that obligation into the fibers of our business. To do this well, we have rebuilt our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion to capture the renewed spirit of the company. Columbia is fully vested in making meaningful, permanent changes across the organization.

Our full DEI Policy is available on our Responsibility page.

 

Tenant Engagement

We collaborate with partners, tenants, and vendors to drive environmental sustainability, foster a productive workplace, and provide modern amenities and technologies.

We establish and maintain strong tenant relationships at the property level through meetings, communications, programs and events, and we ensure responsive and exceptional levels of service by all team members and extended service providers. Examples include the implementation of property-wide efforts that facilitate high tenant engagement, such as sustainability efforts, volunteer and charitable efforts, community involvement, industry involvement, and support of local businesses.

 

Columbia Cares: Charitable Contribution and Community Engagement Program

As part of our governance of Columbia’s philanthropic program, we have established an internal review board to consider the opportunities our company has to fulfill our philanthropic goals.

In addition to reviewing organizations against our strategic areas of focus, we also consider the following primary objectives when evaluating opportunities to devote any of the company’s money or our employees’ time to charitable endeavors:

  • First and foremost, we recognize that we are fiduciaries of our investors’ capital. We will approach this process with discipline.
  • Columbia is dedicated to supporting the communities we serve, as well as the philosophy of “People Helping People.”
  • Columbia supports charitable organizations that enhance the lives of our constituents and the communities in which they work and live.
