Newark is at the heart of our story. 🧡 Since relocating our global HQ here in 2007, we've invested heavily in the growth of our employees while supporting Newark's diverse, tech-focused community. From local hiring to providing housing subsidies for employees, our investments help attract foot traffic, sustain businesses and create jobs, generating nearly $2B annually in economic activity. Our #InnovationCathedral—an 80,000 sq. ft. church we restored in 2019—is a cornerstone of our commitment to the city. Cheers to the past 18 years in Newark and to many more ahead, both in our headquarters and global hub cities! Learn more: adbl.com/Impact

We fostered connections through entrepreneur mixers and conducted workshops aimed at unlocking potential. March was a call to move beyond celebration and activate real progress in our workplaces and communities.
