About
Twin Hawkes was founded by assembling a team of the most experienced professionals in each and every associated field necessary to launch and sustain a development corporation focused entirely on historic renovation and redevelopment, while operating as a business dedicated to the principles of a triple bottom line. More than simply a business practicing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), 3BL means that our company has a senior management and board of directors-level commitment to measure, track, and report internally, and also publicly when possible, the company’s proven results in terms of people, planet, and profit.
Examples of this may be demonstrated in both internal and cooperative operations with lease-holding businesses and residents, by examining the following:
People; local and sustainable trade practices, charitable contributions (financial and volunteerism), employee welfare (wages, professional development, live-work balance), etc.
Planet; intelligent and sustainable land use, resource consumption, waste management, recycling, or adaptive reuse, etc.
Profit; maximizing long-term, maintained economic growth vs. extractive, short-cycle methods, recognizing the value of deliberative re-investment and follow-on-capital in personnel and community as a means of improving Sharpe and Treynor ratios (risk-adjusted investment returns).
