Investor Login Environmental, Social, Governance A bigger world view serves us all. ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) initiatives are a significant component of our goal to deliver competitive returns by creating places that make a significant difference. To maximize the impact of our strategy, we have aligned our ESG initiatives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Each year, we take actions to improve and lessen our environmental impact, as well as encourage and enable our Link ApartmentsSM residents to participate in the behaviors that will elevate our effort. QUICK STATS 0% Green Building Certifications A total of 19% of our 2020 portfolio has earned green building certifications, up from 12% of the total portfolio in 2019. 0.0% Long-Term Residents Residents on our long-term resident program increased 1.4% from 7.0% in 2019 to 8.4% of our multifamily portfolio in 2020. 0% More Units New essential housing units developed through our Link ApartmentsSM brand increased by 810% with 90 units delivered in 2019 and 729 units delivered in 2020. ESG INITIATIVES Across six crucial measures, we are elevating expectations for ways housing can be created and communities supported. Housing Affordability Our goal is to build the most accessible new multifamily communities in urban areas through our Link Apartments® brand. Our long-term resident program caps rent increases for residents of 5+ years. Environmental Stewardship Our new development pursues certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), NGBS (National Green Building Standard), and ENERGY STAR. We measure building energy, water, waste, and emissions within our control and are identifying long-term reduction targets. Business Ethics & Integrity We are governed by a majority-external board of directors. We undergo regular SOC audits and regularly disclose our strategy and performance to investors. Transportation Innovation We work to find the ideal parking ratio using shared parking, and to design communities that encourage alternative transportation options. We are the first private developer in North America to enlist Copenhagenize to design innovative bicycle- and pedestrian-focused infrastructure at our communities. Responsible Supply Chain We collect information from companies in our supply chain to understand their priorities and responses to ESG risks. Community Engagement We improve communities by creating walkable design and connectivity, and seeking permanent solutions to delayed or inadequate infrastructure.
