ESG
We commit to causes based upon return on investment, materiality, responsible investment principles, enhanced sustainable performance, and the impact on the community at large. By doing so, we progress on UN sustainable development goals most closely tied to our global citizenship priorities.
These ESG initiatives are not only meaningful to our investors, but to all our stakeholders including employees, residents, program partners, and the broader communities we impact.
FPA’s ESG Committee was established to help further stakeholder engagement, communicate, and implement overall sustainability strategy. The committee, which spans several corporate functions, meets quarterly, and connects proactively to continually improve both ESG risk management and sustainable business practices.

Green Financing, Leasing, and Resident Guidance
FPA has been pursuing green loans since 2012, as the preferential interest rate pricing we receive for completing sustainable retrofits has long made financial sense.
Though the crux of our environmental management program is based on the energy and water efficiencies gained from retrofits we have installed, our program also incorporates our residents’ efforts into our sustainability initiatives. Not only do we have a green lease addendum to our leases, but we also educate and guide our residents throughout the year to enhance the efficiencies of our buildings.
Engagement in the Community & Industry
At our communities, we are dedicated to expanding our focus on the overall health and wellness of our residents and bettering our planet. We do this by identifying community needs through social determinants of health to bridge access to those vulnerable or living in marginalized communities.

Since 2014, The Fowler Family Foundation has expanded access to quality education to our community. With a renowned internship that provides hands-on experience to college students across the nation, including strong partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and a commitment to supporting underrepresented and first-generation college students, we are proud to open doors for those eager to begin their career in multifamily real estate.
For our team members and their families, The Fowler Family Scholarship Foundation encourages career and education advancement through awarding scholarships for high achieving high school seniors and college students seeking to complete higher education at accredited two- or four-year colleges, universities, or Career Technical Education programs. These education initiatives, which help create pathways to success for students from all backgrounds and those who are the first in their families to attend college, are personally advocated for and funded by the Fowlers.
