ESG Overview – Avanath Capital Management, LLC.

Avanath is amplifying ESG

At Avanath, we believe that environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) policies can positively affect and expand opportunities for our residents, our employees, the environment, and the communities we serve. Launched in 2020, +Amplify is Avanath’s comprehensive ESG framework for Environmental and Social Responsibility and guides our operations. It is the foundation of our commitment to continue a wide range of social programs for our residents, reduce the environmental impact of our assets, and deliver value to our investors. As a leader in the affordable housing industry, we believe prioritizing social equality, responsible investing, and a healthy environment supports greater prosperity for all.
