Our Employee Resource Groups work throughout The Brick Companies to raise awareness, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer financial support for the issues that impact us all.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
environmental stewardship
Environmental Stewardship is a core value that we incorporate into all business decisions. The environmental actions we take at our properties are an important aspect of our Good Works culture.
Commercial Real Estate
Beehive – Our rooftop beehive at Lakefront in Gaithersburg helps support the pollinator population while engaging and educating our employees and tenants. Our one hive is home to 21,000 honeybees.
​
UL Verified Healthy Buildings – Three commercial real estate properties, Edgewater, Rockville, and Tysons Corner, attained verification for healthy air. These facilities participated in a thorough evaluation process that included an audit, on-site inspections, visual inspection, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) performance testing, among other assessments. This certification shows that these buildings have excellent indoor air quality.
Queenstown Harbor
Solar Panels – So far this year, Queenstown’s solar array has produced 76,507.6 kWh, that's the equivalent of powering five, average use, 1,500 sq. ft homes for an entire year!
​
Bermuda Grass – The River Course fairways were recently renovated with Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass. This improvement impacts the environment daily by decreasing the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and water.
atlantic marinas
Clean Marinas Certification – All three locations have successfully renewed their annual certification, meeting the rigorous pollution prevention standards established by the Maryland Clean Marina Committee and the Department of Natural Resources.
​
Oyster Gardening – Atlantic Marinas proudly participates in an annual oyster gardening program through the Magothy River Association and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Spat (tiny baby oysters growing on spent shells) batches are added to cages suspended under the marina docks. Once the oysters have grown, they are placed onto protected local oyster reefs, where they will improve the water quality.
