ESG and DEI

Our Commitment

Croatan is committed to incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governing (ESG) initiatives into our business operations. Our goal is to create long-term value across our portfolio, all while enhancing the lives of our employees. As a fiduciary, our primary obligation is to our stakeholders. We believe that thorough analysis of ESG practices establishes strong alignment and responsible stewardship for our environment, people, and the communities in which we invest.

Environmental

As we continue to grow our portfolio, we acknowledge our responsibility as an owner and developer to be an environmental steward. We seek to add value and ensure clean, functional, and competitive apartment communities for our tenants and investors.

Social

Community is the backbone of Croatan. We are comprised of the team members who support us, the communities that welcome us, and the stakeholders who trust us. Social initiatives are a byproduct of who we are. Our focus is on a healthy team, strong community, and diverse opportunities.

Governance

Croatan recognizes that the adoption, adherence, and maintenance of governing principles are the foundation of a successful investment manager. We focus on established policies, safe and efficient technology, and transparency with our team and stakeholders.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Proud to be certified as a minority-owned company by the state of Virginia (SWaM), Croatan is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Beyond the standard of being an equal opportunity employer, we strive to foster a work environment that is inclusive regardless of gender, race, religious background, etc. Supported by the research that links diversity directly to performance, we believe that dedicated DEI initiatives allow for talent maximization and true inclusivity fosters an affective growth environment.
