Respectful

Places to Inspire

People are the heart of GID and, in everything we do, we strive to put them first. This means making responsible, sustainable decisions that ensure the safety and well-being of our associates, residents, and tenants. This approach also extends to our investors and partners, and to the fiduciary relationships beyond that, including beneficiaries and retirees in the public and private pension funds of our investment partners.

The GIVE Program

As part of our mission to create communities where people feel truly cared for, we continue to deliver our GIVE program. This community engagement initiative brings GID and Windsor Property Management Company associates together with our residents and tenants to assist those in need in the communities where we operate.

Day of Service

GID hosts a Day of Service every September, bringing GID and Windsor Property Management Company associates together to support their communities. The Day of Service offers teams the opportunity to volunteer off-site, and in 2025, our Day of Service contributed over 2,600 hours of volunteer time nationwide.

OneTeamGIVES FUNd Friday

Every year, we organize a OneTeamGIVES FUNd Friday as part of our wider OneTeamGIVES initiative. This day-long event is an opportunity for on-site team members to come together over a collaborative team lunch, wearing their GIVE T-shirts to mark the occasion.

In 2025, we raised almost $6,900 for our OneTeamGIVES Fund, which provides grants to associates experiencing catastrophic events or personal hardship.

GIVE a Bear

GID maintains a long-standing partnership with Ronald McDonald House, contributing to efforts to bring holiday joy to families. In 2025, we once again held our GIVE a Bear program, donating 750 bears and raising over $48,000 for the cause. We have now raised more than $250,000 for this program since 2012.

A Culture of Shared Belonging

Our people are key to driving our continued success. We want our associates to feel appreciated and proud of their work, which is why at GID we place a high value on building community for our associates as well as our tenants and residents.

Committed to Care and Growth

Building a strong team starts with finding the right associates and fostering an environment where they want to stay and grow. We are always looking for new ways to support our team, ensuring our associates remain motivated, supported, and proud of where they work. We prioritize the health and well-being of our people, delivering support that helps all our associates thrive.

BetterUp Care is our company-wide mental health and wellness support initiative, available without cost to all associates. Participants can access online materials and/or receive one-on-one coaching in areas such as mental fitness, career and professional development, and inclusion and belonging. There are currently more than 60 associates participating in our BetterUp Care program, gaining access to support for career advancement, stress management, navigating grief, achieving targets, and cultivating well-being habits.

We also provide our associates and their families with personalized, no-cost financial advice through our Prosper Wise service, delivered in collaboration with Marsh McLennan Agency. Accessible in English and Spanish, this service is designed to help people better visualize their financial goals. During 2025, Prosper Wise conducted over 80 one-on-one coaching sessions, hosted interactive live webinars for over 300 associates, and had 490 website visits.

Breaking Down Language Barriers

We offer Babbel for Business^® English as a Second Language classes to associates, fostering new development pathways and a culture of shared progress. We also offer Babbel classes for non-English languages, fueling greater communication across teams and enhancing relationships with coworkers, vendors, and tenants.

Connecting with Our Associates

Introduced in 2023, our Windsor Connect program is designed to foster connections, learning, and skill development among associates, with a goal to inspire the next generation of internal leaders. As part of this initiative, we host a Quarterly Speaker Series, where experienced leaders share their experiences and wisdom with associates.

Now entering its eighth year, we continue to offer our Summer Internship Program. During 2025, our Dallas and Boston offices provided internship opportunities to six students. We are delighted with our program and its successes, helping newer talent gain invaluable professional experience and even kickstarting several successful careers within our company and the wider commercial real estate industry.

We conduct an annual employee survey to better understand the thoughts of our associates and where we should focus our efforts to enhance their experiences, and in 2025, we are delighted to have achieved a participation rate of over 85%. Key highlights included 96% of associates reporting that they feel trusted to get their jobs done and have good working relationships with their coworkers, 94% understand the company’s values and leadership traits, and 89% feel like they belong.

Honoring Sustainability Commitment

We were delighted to honor Suzanne Fox, Manager, Sourcing and Procurement, at our 2025 Operations Conference. Suzanne received our annual Responsible Investments Award for going above and beyond to support sustainability at GID. She spearheaded the development and implementation of a “green cleaning” product program, working closely with our supply partners to review potential products and pricing plans.

The Ecolab chemical dilution system was ultimately selected, which delivered a series of benefits including ensuring all floor and bathroom cleaning products meet Green Seal standards. Using concentrated cleaning solutions reduced the amount of plastic packaging and the number of shipping loads needed, while a more limited range of products enhanced application processes, improved efficiency, and reduced waste and costs.

Additionally, by introducing a series of color-coded microfiber cloths in place of alternative cloth or paper products, the solution Suzanne implemented helped improve cleaning efficacy, in turn reducing waste and the risk of cross-contamination.

Building with Our Residents in Mind

We believe that, by promoting sustainable habits, we can better safeguard the health of our network of thriving communities. As we develop our own practices, we are also actively encouraging tenants and residents to integrate healthy choices and environmental responsibility into their everyday lives.

During 2025, we continued to engage residents and tenants at our multifamily and industrial sites through Water, Waste, and Energy Month celebrations, as well as local Earth Day events and a celebration of National Honey Bee Day in August.

To promote greater well-being, we encouraged people to cycle to work during May’s Bike Week, while International Day of Yoga once again presented an opportunity to highlight the health benefits of yoga to our residents.

Our facilities, including fitness centers, pools, spas, and walking paths, are regularly improved through capital investments to ensure residents have access to a variety of quality options for staying active. For socializing, we offer carefully designed spaces such as club rooms, grills, fire pits, and playgrounds. We also support pet owners across our residential communities, providing fenced dog parks and pet-washing facilities where required.

Our residents continue to operate in hybrid or remote ways of working, and we want to ensure they feel supported and have the right facilities to do so. We offer several community spaces that cater to remote workers, with access to Wi-Fi, office equipment, and conference rooms.

Engaging with Our Industrial Tenants

We collaborate with our industrial tenants to drive shared progress against our Responsible Investments strategy. Through green lease provisions, we promote utility data sharing, helping visualize our indirect emissions and identify efficiency opportunities for our tenants. We also encourage our industrial tenants to adopt environmentally responsible habits, such as ensuring engines are switched off at loading docks and hazardous materials are disposed of responsibly.

At properties pursuing IREM green building certifications, we encourage tenants to adopt sustainability policies. This includes activities that may support the pursuit of established sustainability targets — for example, reduced energy and water consumption.
