ORG Portfolio Management - Corporate Responsibility

 

ORG is committed to maintaining corporate responsibility that is reflected throughout all aspects of our business operations while maintaining our fiduciary responsibilities.

As an owner and operator of real assets, ORG is highly conscious of its footprint.  ORG prides itself on constantly looking for new and innovative ways to be responsible, providing benefits both to the community and to our partners and clients.

ORG has long supported philanthropic practices, giving time and financial support to many charitable organizations.  ORG believes in supporting both charitable organizations that seek to make an impact on local communities as well as on a national scale.  That being stated, the firm makes it a priority to donate time and support to those organizations where ORG’s participation is impactful by providing much needed awareness and support to causes or missions in our local communities including charitable organizations that focus on children and improving the health and value of lives of individuals through education and science.

One of ORG’s principals founded The Race, Inc. (“The Race”), a local non-profit organization that focuses on raising money to end breast cancer through prevention and quality treatment.  The Race hosts an annual 5K and 1-mile run/walk to empower families to make a difference in the lives of those touched by breast cancer. Proceeds have benefited the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Susan G. Komen and recently the University Hospitals’ Seidman Cancer Center, in Cleveland, Ohio.  The Race has raised over $2 million in the fight against breast cancer.

One of our principals also currently serves as the president of the Effective Leadership Academy (“ELA”), a local non-profit organization that focuses on serving the needs of students in grades 5-12 and college students to ensure they receive essential life-skills during their most formative years.  ELA hosts interactive programs that focus on the development and enhancement of critical soft-skills that give youth the tools to succeed in the 21st Century.  ELA also hosts interactive programs for new corporate professionals and educators to ensure they have the necessary skills to assume leadership positions. ELA has provided tens of thousands of students and professionals from throughout Northeast Ohio with custom designed and award-winning programs that turn potential into performance.

ORG is committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all aspects of our business.  ORG’s policies & procedures outline the basic principles of conduct and ethics that all employees are expected to follow in making business decisions.

ORG is dedicated to fostering an environment that respects the dignity, rights and contributions of its employees.  ORG is an equal-opportunity employer that does not discriminate with respect to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or age.  This policy applies to all employment practices within our organization, including hiring, training, placement, promotion, compensation and benefits.

ORG’s commitment to corporate responsibility extends to its employees, clients, partners and the communities in which it does business.
