A company built on values
Our core values are the foundation of our company. They shape our culture, the ways in which we do business, how we treat one another and how we interact with our communities.
We invest for the long run
We don’t run our business with a focus on quarterly results. We make our decisions through a long-term lens, which has served us well over many market cycles.
Our people are critical to our success
We pride ourselves on hiring the best and the brightest, and strive to build a community of people with diverse opinions and experiences.
We value doing what is right
Integrity and doing what is right are fundamental to our identity and have guided our actions over our 50+ year history.
We believe in Doing Good While Doing Well®
A core tenet of our founder Wm. Polk Carey, we strongly believe that good corporate citizenship is fundamental to good business.
Our company has evolved in many ways since our founding in 1973, but our values have remained the same. These principles are fundamental to our success and guide everything we do. They inspire our culture, shape our character and strengthen our company through an aligned sense of purpose.
