Social Responsibility

Our commitment to our employees is central to our ability to continue to deliver strong performance and financial results for our stockholders and other stakeholders. We seek to create and cultivate an engaging work environment for our employees, which allows us to attract, retain, and develop top talent to manage our business. We also encourage our employees to be actively involved in the communities in which they live through various initiatives.

As part of our commitment to our employees, our community members, and giving back to those in need, the BNL team has focused on the following programs:

Culture of Inclusion and Belonging

We are committed to creating and maintaining a culture of inclusion and belonging and believe the company is better able to grow and improve with a dynamic Board of Directors, management, and team of employees with varying backgrounds and experiences. BNL’s Culture Committee spearheads ongoing efforts to implement programs designed to support inclusion, belonging, and wellbeing and deepen our commitment to culture enhancements. Committee initiatives are routinely reported to our employees and Board of Directors.

As of May 1, 2025, three of our nine directors identify as female and 44% of our directors identify with underrepresented groups.

Further, employees who identify as women comprise 54% of our workforce, 39% of our officers, and 25% of our senior leadership team.

Additionally, approximately 61% of our employees are between 30 and 50 years old, and approximately 15% of our employees are Hispanic or Latino, Black or African American, Asian, identify as two or more races, or identify as other.

Community Engagement

Broadstone encourages employees to get involved in philanthropic and community work both in and outside of the workplace. A dedicated committee of employees coordinates volunteer events and activities supporting a variety of non-profit organizations in the regions from which we operate. Some recent initiatives and activities include:

Community-service events at, and sponsorship of additional events to benefit, local food banks
Assembling personal care kits provided to residents of the Veterans Outreach Center and Willow Domestic Violence Center
Company- and employee-sponsored donations of meals to local families and individuals in need, including a “Thanksgiving Appeal” program and a “PB&J Factory”
Sponsorship of an annual Holiday Lights Tour, including facilitating participation for all Rochester-based employees, the proceeds of which benefit a local child advocacy center
Participation in a “cards of encouragement” program in which employees created uplifting messages for local individuals of all faiths
Participation in annual school supply donation drives
Participation in annual winter apparel drives

Each of our full-time employees is entitled to 16 hours of paid volunteer time off to provide them with the flexibility to pursue philanthropic activities. Such paid time off is in addition to any participation in company-sponsored philanthropic activities, which does not require the use of paid time off.

Political Contributions

Consistent with our commitment to high standards of ethical, honest, and legal business conduct, we have established a Political Spending Policy that prohibits the use of corporate funds for political purposes. Pursuant to the policy, Broadstone and its employees are permitted to belong to certain trade associations and similar organizations, such as Nareit.

Working & Culture at BNL

We strive to create an engaging work experience that allows for career development and related opportunities. Our employee benefits program focuses on the overall well-being and development of our employees and includes generous paid time-off policies for both personal and sick leave, on-site flu vaccinations, 100% employer-paid health insurance options for all full-time employees, employer contributions to a health savings account (for those employees with high deductible plans), health concierge services, employer-funded life insurance, as well as other customary benefits. We strive to promote a healthy workplace, offering webinars, health and fitness challenges and events, and an Employee Assistance Plan that provides counseling services to employees.

We also encourage professional growth for all our employees through internal training and development and by offering access to various online educational and training resources and webinars, reimbursement for continuing education, and opportunities for tuition assistance and reimbursement.
