The Daniels Corporation
The Daniels Corporation (Daniels) exists with a purpose to build inclusive and sustainable communities for a better future for all. We understand that leading on diversity is central to building inclusive communities. To deliver on this purpose, we have demonstrated a commitment to increasing diversity both in our own workforce, and supporting the development of a diverse workforce within the broad real estate development and construction industries. Our commitment to diversity is reinforced by action which includes investments in first-source hiring, training and employment programs, and hiring policies among other programs and initiatives outlined in the sections below. Daniels has doubled down on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) over the last year when many organizations across real estate, when many organizations across real estate, construction, but also the economy at large, have found it challenging to invest in DEI. Furthermore, through our Social Impact work, we have developed programs that address broader social and economic challenges through a DEI lens, including affordable housing, accessible housing, and local economic development.
