We believe our work has an impact on our community. This is something we take very seriously. At D.M. Wills our definition of community is vast yet specific: Community is the place, the Towns and Cities, where our team member live and work; Community is the people that we impact daily through our teams’ work both inside and outside the office. Community is a commitment to our team members to foster an work environment where they can be their best and have maximum impact. Building communities goes beyond physical structures to involve the sense of belonging a community holds. Not just buildings, but places where people feel safe, comfortable, and at home. People’s “third spaces” — another place outside of home and work where they belong.  At Wills, we understand the importance of maintaining a positive and harmonious relationship with our community and we do our best day in and out to making a lasting positive impact on each community.

Global Perspective— Fair Housing Month, observed throughout April, is a global initiative dedicated to promoting equal access to housing and combating discrimination in housing practices. While its origins may be rooted in specific countries, Fair Housing Month resonates worldwide, advocating for housing justice and equality for all. During Fair Housing Month, communities come together to raise awareness about housing discrimination, educate individuals about their rights and advocate for policies that ensure fair and equitable housing opportunities. It's a time to address systemic barriers and work towards creating inclusive communities where everyone has access to safe, affordable and quality housing. As we observe Fair Housing Month, we recognise the universal significance of fair and equitable housing practices. By promoting fair housing policies and fostering inclusive communities, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity and security. At Santa Fe, we are focused on the movement of people—helping them integrate into new countries and communities. We enjoy sharing the fascinating nuances of the places where we help people work, live and thrive.
