PLAYBOOK
OUR LEGACY is made up of a collection of moments—moments that took time, persistence, and people who believed in our vision enough to go out and build something meaningful. But this is not just a story about our history, it’s a narrative that will carry all of us forward. The key to our future success begins with our why. When we have a purpose, we can continue to create a legacy together.
What’s a purpose statement? It’s a big, overarching belief for MetroNational. It’s also a personal spark of inspiration that drives our daily decisions, interactions and ideas. This will mean something different for every one of us.
When we approach opportunities, we can ask ourselves, “Does that build better lives?” When we consider a new investment or development, or reimagine a policy for our team members, building better lives will serve as the North Star to guide our decisions.
The most powerful part of our purpose is when it becomes personal. Each one of us has a story of how we build better lives in our roles at MetroNational. Take a moment to think about yours and how you can continue to carry this commitment forward.
Values are a set of beliefs that guide our decisions and actions. As our company and culture continues to evolve, it was the right time to consider our set of beliefs and align them with our people and business strategy.
This set of values were created by many of us. We interviewed team members from all departments, at every level, with diverse backgrounds and experience and leveraged those perspectives to develop four words that spoke to how we work and what is most important to us.
When we all share common beliefs, it drives our behaviors in ways that move us in the same direction—growing our business and ourselves. Values give our partners, customers, tenants and community members reasons to grow with us too, because they can point back to places where their beliefs align with ours.
Over time, they strengthen our culture and the connections between us.
We didn’t get here by accident. Serving others honestly and respectfully is how we built our business and it’s up to all of us to deliver on it. Our reputation is our priority, and we honor it with every decision, project and interaction.
Trust is earned with every decision and action. We believe trust is a requirement to building strong relationships with our customers, partners, tenants, community and each other—and those relationships are critical to the success and stability of our business. We do the right thing, because it’s who we are.
Our higher calling drives everything we do—to serve others by building better lives—while ensuring our future success. This is why we create experiences that inspire people, communities that connect people and opportunities that help people reach their potential.
We never lose sight of what got us here and draw strength from our history to shape our future. Our heritage serves as evidence that we continue to grow and evolve without sacrificing stability or excellence. We’re all invited into the story and to create a legacy of our own.
