Diversity at Simon
At Simon, we are not only committed to continuously improving diversity and inclusion in our workplace, but also through our leasing efforts in our shopping centers. We embrace brands that share our inclusive philosophy. For example, during recent years we have opened Morphe stores at 13 locations across our portfolio. Morphe was founded in 2008 among the artists and influencers of Los Angeles. Morphe earned its reputation for a bold approach to makeup that honors individuality and self expression.
