We build community

Just three words but with so much meaning behind each one. At Urban Edge, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our values fortify our foundation of people driven operations and innovation. We seek to build strong relationships, give back, support and propel our communities forward – be it our own employees, our shareholders, partners, tenants or the communities that we operate in.

Opportunities at Urban Edge don’t come along often. When they do, we are looking for partners more than people. We are a “roll up your sleeves and get to it” bunch. Creativity, collaboration, courage, and a commitment to open and honest communication, excellence and ownership are the cornerstone of our DNA.

Impact-Full

Our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment has been part of who we are since our founding in 2015. Each arm of ESG is a commitment to our communities of employees, tenants, shareholders and the places we invest.

  • Social Commitment

    Our employees drive our success and we are committed to investing in their professional and personal development. We strive to create a dynamic environment where all employees can achieve and contribute. Our employees enjoy excellent subsidized health and wellness benefits, professional training and development workshops, on-site meals, ergonomic office equipment, telecommuting opportunities and generous policies encouraging work/life balance. Through our Wellness program, recently launched volunteer platform and quarterly Town Hall meetings with all employees, among other initiatives, we continually strive to provide a workplace environment where employees are informed, engaged, feel empowered, and have the ability to succeed.

    We are also committed to improving the communities we serve or are a part of. We have a robust community-giving program and encourage our employees to participate in a number of local and national charitable organizations by offering matched donations. Since 2015, we have donated over $556,000 to various charitable initiatives. We are also committed to using our properties to better our communities. Since our founding we have hosted more than 100 local organizations, non-profits, and community partners at our properties to support the wellness and prosperity of the communities we serve.
  • Environmental DNA

    ESG has been a part of our DNA since our founding as evidenced by our ongoing community and donation-based programming. Early investments in solar at our flagship center in Paramus kickstarted our focus on sustainable operations practices in 2011. Today, have formed an internal task force to frame our strategy and path forward while we maintain focused on white and reflective roofing requirements for all new development, LED lighting retrofits (5 centers per year over the last 5 years) and began the final stage of utility mapping across our portfolio earlier this year. When complete, it is expected that over 99% of utility lines will be mapped and traceable.
  • Sound Governance

    We are committed to sound corporate governance, which strengthens the accountability of our Board and promotes the long-term interests of our shareholders. We believe that our corporate governance standards and policies yield honest, transparent and accountable trustees and executive officers. We report annually on our board and leadership practices and notable shareholder rights. To learn more, visit our press releases and filings page.
