A continued commitment to acceptance and inclusion
We believe that for this organization to be successful, we must foster a work environment of acceptance and inclusion that improves the employee experience.

Building a strong, stable organization from within
At Minto, we invest in our employees’ growth and development, which in turn strengthens our team and minimizes business disruption. We engage with employees on career goals, conduct regular and rigorous talent reviews, provide professional development to all staff, identify ways to help individuals advance, and complete long-term succession plans for all executive roles.
"At Minto, we value the experience and insight of our team members yet recognize that change is inevitable and requires careful planning. To ensure that talented, accomplished successors can support our continued growth, succession planning is a strategy that’s embedded in our talent management program throughout the year."
Jo-Ann Taylor,
Chief Human Resources Officer
Advancing ESG performance and knowledge
At Minto, ESG is a strategic priority, and setting ESG targets is integral to our yearly planning. We incorporate ESG objectives into annual goals for each business unit and employee, with individual bonuses tied to these objectives. We are also committed to building ESG competency across our organization. In October 2021, we launched a new ESG e-learning course for all staff, which became mandatory the following year. Additionally, we introduced an ESG channel in our digital learning hub, MyConnect Learning, to deepen employees' ESG knowledge.

Demonstrating our high performance through third-party verification
We aim to build better homes that reduce our impact on the environment, and we use trusted third- parties to verify these efforts, and communicate that value to our buyers. We strive to achieve the highest possible rates with HERS®, EnerGuide®, ENERGY STAR® for New Homes, and LEED®. We have also begun investing in the health and well-being of our residents through Fitwel® and WELL® Certifications. Through these programs, we’re leading the industry to the next frontier of sustainability and resident wellness.
