GBR Riverdale is committed to ensuring our corporate policies match our family values. At the most basic level, that means ensuring we are building a positive legacy to pass to future generations.
Our activities create and support sustainability efforts to achieve that goal — that we will promote environmental health, social cohesion and steward leadership.
- Environmental Health relates to the development of circular sustainable ecosystems and the mitigation of negative environmental impact.
- Social Cohesion means we respect our employees, customers and vendors within our network of operating companies and work to ensure that the lives we touch have reliable access to necessities.
- Steward Leadership means we lead from the front in order to better care for our team members, the companies we interact with and society as a whole.
We accomplish this by the 4 A’s:
1) Avoid companies where culture, ethics or sustainability approaches are not in alignment with our values.
2) Acquire companies that are already have or have the possibility of having meaningful environmental, social and governance impact while seeking higher returns.
3) Aid our operating companies in articulating, reporting and improving their sustainable practices and policies.
4) Augment our operating companies’ positive impact on their communities by giving back locally and enhancing our team members work environment and benefits packages.
Our vision of profitable sustainability is ambitious and tackling the systemic challenges it identifies is no easy task. Nevertheless, we believe that through our actions, we can be part of a transformation for good.
