Our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy : Weichert Workforce Mobility

Our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy

At Weichert, we are passionate about being a good corporate citizen, which is why we have intentionally woven the three pillars of sustainability — Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) — throughout our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.

This strategy provides the guideposts for operating as ethical, corporate citizens and supporting causes that align with our vision To Create Futures Where People Thrive.

As we pursue our CSR strategy, it’s not enough to state our sustainability goals. We believe in tracking – and sharing — our progress. And while we enjoy celebrating success, we also believe in using metrics to gauge opportunities for continuous improvement in everything we do.

Environmental Sustainability at Weichert

In 2021, we made the decision to seek out an independent provider of sustainability assessments and certifications. EcoVadis is the first and largest collaborative platform in the world for trading partners to share, monitor and assess sustainability performance and engage teams, and our partnership with them has revolutionized how we measure and benchmark our journey to being a better corporate citizen.

EcoVadis Ratings are used by over 100,000 companies across 200+ industries in more than 160 countries, facilitating the sharing of sustainability ratings both upstream to stakeholders and through downstream monitoring of their value chains.

Through leveraging their Sustainability Procurement technology, we’re measuring and tracking progress across our entire mobility ecosystem and have refined our sustainability roadmap with ambitious new targets.

Following the EcoVadis roadmap, we took some big leaps to further develop our sustainability program in 2023, earning Bronze certification for the second consecutive year.

Cleaner Household Goods Moving

According to our partner, EarthScope, supplier emissions are the largest single category of emissions, accounting for more than 50% of overall corporate emissions.

Yes, sustainability in our industry can be challenging, as the emissions and pollution specifically associated with moving – domestically, intra-regionally, or globally – are significant contributors to greenhouse gases. From the waste generated and often improperly discarded when packing up a house, to the temporary use of packing materials, to the pollution generated from transportation, the practicality of moving an employee can take a toll on even the most robust sustainability plans.

The bright side? There is great potential for process improvement in our service delivery , and leveraging our supply chain is pivotal to progressing closer to our sustainability targets. Our EcoVadis-powered sustainable procurement solution will bring new metrics (and accountability) to this effort.

As the architect of our company's sustainability journey, I firmly believe that true success in this endeavor is not a solo mission. It’s a collective effort, fueled by the passion and commitment of champions across our company and throughout our supplier channels. Together, we weave a tapestry of positive change, inspiring others in our industry, and making sustainability not just a goal, but a shared triumph for us all.

DE&I at Weichert

At Weichert, we understand that diverse perspectives lead to better ideas, innovation, and solutions, so DE&I is as much of a priority for our business as it is for our people!

Within our organization and mobility ecosystem, we focus on cultivating initiatives and platforms that drive positive change toward overcoming biases, amplifying minority voices and needs, and fostering a workplace where everyone feels empowered to be their authentic selves. Our colleagues participate in a wide range of training and focus groups to build perspective and perform at their best. And through our Colleague Resource Groups, Mentorship Programs, and Upward Feedback programs, we foster channels for ongoing communication and development and help to build a diverse leadership pipeline that will ensure the future success of our business and culture.

We are grateful to partner with remarkable organizations that extend our DEI commitments beyond our company. Check out our CSR report to learn more about how our partnerships with Talent Beyond Boundaries, Move for Hunger, and the Eleven+ Upward Mobility Program are helping to level the playing field for disadvantaged and minority talent and uplift vulnerable populations within our communities.

EarthScope and Our Supplier Emissions Measurement (SEM) Program

Understanding that corporate activities are a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Weichert’s SEM Program was established to measure and report those emissions for our supply chain.

The foundation of this program leverages EarthScope’s SaaS tool, which walks suppliers through detailed questionnaires to help them assess where their current emissions stand and the largest contributors.

With licenses purchased by Weichert and provided to our suppliers at no cost, this tool has helped us aggregate all Greenhouse Gas emission data in one location. And most importantly, this information has helped us foster regular dialogue with our suppliers on how we can work collaboratively to lower emissions and set actionable targets.
