Sustainability

2024 Sustainability Report

Our commitment to responsible business practices, team and community support and environmental stewardship has long been embedded in our business. Together with our values, we view sustainability practices as core to delivering long-term growth, value creation and positive impact.

The consideration of these factors in our sustainability strategy helps us succeed financially over the long-term. We also consider sustainability in terms of societal and environmental impact while recognizing that the term sustainability may be used in some cases to reference environmental sustainability. Ultimately, we believe that there are potential synergies between being financially sustainable and having positive societal and environmental impact, and achieving that synergy is central to our sustainability program.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BERKADIA

Berkadia is a company filled with talented, hardworking, and kind people. The work culture here invites refreshingly open and honest collaborations, and in turn, exciting and innovative outcomes. I am pleased to fit into the mix as a creative designer, I truly enjoy my day-to-day at work and the team I get to support.

Ivy Greco
Graphic Designer

I was very excited about Berkadia’s Rotational Analyst Program and the opportunity to “test the waters” before diving into either the investment sales or debt side of the real estate business. It’s difficult to know where your interests and skillsets lie when coming out of college, and the grace period offered through the rotational program eases that commitment.

Britt Fuller
Real Estate Analyst

My mentors and fellow colleagues have supported my professional development by allowing me to take the first “stab” at the underwriting and analysis of deals. This has allowed me to learn from my mistakes and use my creativity to formulate cohesive analysis throughout my time at Berkadia.

Dawson Dewar
Real Estate Analyst

I chose Berkadia because of the culture. My colleagues have always been helpful and have encouraged new ideas and career growth. I could tell from my internship that the “Berkadia Way” was lived and breathed at Berkadia. I knew that I had come across a great team, with an exceptional culture, where I could grow my career.

Kiana Giddings
Research Analyst

Berkadia has an outstanding pool of resources that help bring the best out of every employee, including learning opportunities, benefits, and more.

Matt Jackson
Real Estate Analyst

Berkadia’s dedication to supporting each individual’s growth by offering continued education on multiple subjects is so nurturing. I am limited only by the time I have rather than by the resources provided to me.

Amy Gay
Senior Director
Mortgage Banking – FHA/HUD

Berkadia is an incredible company that continues to disrupt the CRE industry. Between its remarkable support system and resources, data-driven approach, and long-term investments in technology and people, Berkadia’s platform is second-to-none in the CRE industry.

Bobby Mills
Senior Director
St. Louis Investment Sales

The potential to have a positive and personal impact on those with whom we work and serve is without a doubt the aspect of my role that I am most passionate about.

Danielle D’Andrea
Chief People Officer

I say it all the time, but I absolutely love Berkadia. The culture, the environment, the people—everything about it makes me happy.

Melissa McBride
Project Manager and Team Lead – Berkadia Phoenix and Las Vegas Investment Sales

There is a wealth of knowledge and expertise at Berkadia and Berkadians are the most supportive group of individuals I have ever worked with. I enjoy taking the time to meet with and learn from folks in a variety of roles.
