AFIRE Podcast #40: Ethics, Front and Center

(Featuring El Rosenheim, Founder, CEO, Profimex)

While discussed in universities, business schools, and corporate mission statements, ethics need to be front-and-center during times of crisis and uncertainty. What should this look like in the world real estate investing?

In this two-part AFIRE Podcast, host and AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson sits down with El Rosenheim, Founder and CEO of Profimex, to discuss what honesty, transparency, and integrity look like in practice for business leaders, investment managers, stakeholders, and communities.

Rosenheim is also the chair of AFIRE’s Ethics Committee, and this episode expands on his article, “A Call to Ethics,” which first appeared in Summit Journal. While the purpose of investing is to profit, Rosenheim says, the pursuit of returns must not ignore the implications of the decisions we make every day—consciously and unconsciously—as investors, fiduciaries, and global citizens.

This podcast is part of AFIRE’s Ethics Project. Launched in 2020 and led by AFIRE members, the Ethics Project aims to develop an ethics for the global commercial real estate investor community—inwards, for how we work with each other, and outwards, for all users of the built environment.
