Built Well. Be Well.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Podium’s goal is to develop and build exceptional buildings and communities for people to live. We look critically at our past experiences and across the globe for inspiration to integrate into our projects and improve experiences for our end users. We believe the integration of appropriate and aspirational environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives in our practices will result in more responsive buildings that are better designed to respond to climate change, will indicate responsible corporate citizenship, and positively reflect the values of our stakeholders. As a vertically integrated company (develop/build/asset manage), we benefit from the collaboration of our industry professionals working together to find the sweet spots for quality, efficiency maximum impact and improvement. Controlling and integrating multiple facets of development from inception to completion and beyond permits ESG decision-making beyond the ordinary spheres of each business unit individually. This strategy can also ensure the combined ESG approach can usurp individual trade-offs for a better collective result for the project long-term.
