About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Concurrently, the Company announced that it scored an 87 on the 2023 GRESB survey and earned the Regional Sector Leader designation from GRESB as the top performing ESG company among its listed Multifamily Residential peers in the Americas. In addition, the Company achieved GRESB’s Public Disclosure rating of “A” for the fifth consecutive year.

“I am proud that GRESB has recognized UDR with the Sector Leader designation for the second time in the last three years due to our ongoing commitment to fostering an innovative and adaptive culture, investment in sustainability initiatives, and adherence to our comprehensive ESG strategy,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “This achievement is a culmination of the efforts of our diverse and driven group of associates. I give special thanks to our Sustainability Team and all of my fellow UDR associates for their integral role in delivering economically viable ESG benefits to our stakeholders.”

The GRESB assessment is the global standard for ESG benchmarking and reporting for listed property companies, private property funds, and developers of real estate. GRESB evaluates real estate companies in areas such as management, governance, sustainability, environmental and social programs and policies. UDR scored well above the GRESB average in each of the survey’s three main categories which are environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and corporate governance. The Company attained a maximum score in social responsibility, a near-maximum score in corporate governance, and its overall score of 87 is well above the 2023 GRESB U.S. peer group average score of 79 and global average score of 75.

The GRESB Public Disclosure survey measures sustainability disclosures of companies. UDR received an “A” rating for the fifth consecutive year with a score of 97.

Fifth Annual ESG Report

Based on continual feedback from our associates and a variety of stakeholders including stewardship and investment teams at large and small investment firms, governance groups, and ESG monitoring services, UDR implemented a variety of enhancements to its ESG initiatives, disclosures, and processes in 2022 and 2023. A sample of the Company’s numerous ESG achievements presented within its most-recent ESG Report include:

  • Environmental Highlights:
    • Adopted science-based Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gas emissions intensity reduction targets, whereby the Company is committing to a Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity reduction of 40% and a Scope 3 emissions intensity reduction of 30% from 2020-2035.

    • Expanded the Company’s Environmental Metrics table to include Scope 3 emissions.
    • Completed Sustainability Certification of four additional apartment communities, increasing the Company’s sustainably certified property count to 29 (representing over 15% of the Company’s portfolio).

    • Introduced quarterly associate pulse surveys and monthly HR newsletters to increase communication and opportunities for associate feedback.
    • Achieved an associate turnover rate of 28% for 2022, which is ten percentage points lower than the industry standard of 38% (based on National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and CEL data).
    • Expanded associate demographic disclosures to include the Company’s EEO-1 report that was filed in 2022.
  • Governance Highlights:
    • Expanded the Company’s already robust social governance framework with the addition of Shezelle Krei, Vice President of Organizational Development. The creation of this role signifies the Company’s commitment to enhancing its already strong corporate culture and talent acquisition and retention programs through more focused engagement with associates.
    • Simplified the ESG Metrics incorporated into our senior leadership Short-Term Incentive Program, including moving to an annual relative GRESB score versus peer companies.
