Work with Partners Who Share Our Values
We seek partners and vendors whose values align with ours. Our vendors must comply with all applicable laws and Howard Hughes contractual requirements. We expect our vendors to share our commitments to ethical business practices, sustainability, human rights, and health and safety.
How We Work with Partners and Vendors Who Share Our Values
We expect our partners and vendors to:
- Commit to using proper labor practices and providing safe workplaces
- Use sustainable sourcing practices
- Protect human rights in their workplace and supply chains

A: No. While competitive pricing is important, it’s equally crucial to align with vendors who share our values and uphold responsible business practices. Working with vendors who have a history of unethical labor practices could reflect poorly on our Company and undermine our commitment to social responsibility. It’s important to prioritize ethical considerations when selecting partners and vendors and seek alternatives that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices, even if it means paying slightly higher prices.
A: When partnering with nonprofit organizations for community initiatives, assess their mission, values, and track record to ensure their efforts and methods align with our own goals and values. Conduct thorough research on the organization. Review their mission statements, programs, and past projects. Additionally, engage in open and transparent discussions with representatives from the nonprofit to understand their approach to community engagement and ensure they share our priorities regarding the health and well‐being of our communities. Collaborating with partners who share our values enhances the effectiveness and impact of our community initiatives.
