Camden’s purpose is to improve the lives of our team members, customers and shareholders, one experience at a time. We are committed to creating long-term value for Camden’s stakeholders, and integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of our business. We continue to identify and implement innovative sustainable practices that support our communities, customers, residents and team members, while reducing our reliance on natural resources and reinforcing our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen.
Camden’s Sustainability Committee plays a lead role in overseeing the Company’s strategies, policies, programs, and activities regarding sustainability and ESG matters. Our efforts are led by senior executives with responsibility for implementing sustainable practices across our corporate offices, new development projects, and our existing apartment communities, and the Committee recently added Camden’s Chairman & CEO as the Chairperson of this committee. We completed our fourth annual Corporate Responsibility Report during 2022, including historical data for key performance metrics related to our energy usage and emissions, with goals and targets for reducing our carbon footprint in the years to come. We are proud of our ongoing commitment towards enhancing our sustainability efforts and reporting, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you in future reports.

Our environmental initiatives focus on reducing our energy usage (electricity, natural gas, and water) and waste volumes, investing in renewable energy sources by procuring green energy plans when available, and evaluating renewable energy credits and the use of solar panels, which will in turn reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint in the future.
Our social initiatives include Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), for which Camden formed a Committee led by our Chairman & CEO, who recently signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge, further highlighting our commitment to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. In addition, we are working to further enhance opportunities for our stakeholder engagement with team members, residents, customers and shareholders.
Our governance initiatives include recently published policies and statements on topics such as Human Rights, Equal Opportunity Employment, and Proxy Access. We are currently working to enhance our corporate governance policies, address our position on climate risk and change, and strengthen our company’s environmental policies.
