Environmental Sustainability

Fully recognizing the impact development activity has on the environment, Veris Residential is committed to maximizing efforts to reduce impact from any future development. This starts with the site selection process and continues throughout construction and into operations.

We rigorously screen all acquisitions and development projects—which includes reviewing environmental impact assessments—and carefully adopt sustainability measures that contribute to long-term value and resilience.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

At Veris Residential, we pride ourselves on being responsible corporate citizens, committed to continuously giving back to the communities where we work and live. We maintain a deep connection to causes that support children’s education and the arts, and we’re always looking for additional ways to give back and make an impact on people’s lives.

Our four primary philanthropic partners reflect our commitment to serving properties, people, and the planet. We proudly support Habitat for Humanity in building homes for those in need; American Red Cross in disaster relief efforts, regular blood drives, and other public health services; St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in providing care for children with cancer, support for their families, and ongoing research; and the National Forest Foundation in preserving America’s vital forest ecosystems.

We also promote the philanthropic efforts of our team members by providing paid time off for volunteering and by matching their charitable contributions dollar for dollar.
