COMMUNITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

KA Enterprises understands the importance of responsible stewardship and sound operational management as a vital component of our success. We take pride in setting, meeting and surpassing expectations regarding our business behavior.

COMMUNITY

Community participation is a necessity. At KA we believe that proactive community engagement will directly result in a positive impact on the value of our assets in the long term. We believe in responsible investing and dialogue within our communities. We actively have and will continue to engage in community activities including philanthropic and charitable endeavors. At KA we are dedicated to making positive contributions to our local communities. As a company, we consistently strengthen our communities by committing time and resources to help build a more sustainable future by considering all the relevant issues and viewpoints of stakeholders. Since we are an employer of residents of our communities, we take a concerted effort to understand the local dynamics intimately. For example, we have been an avid supporter, sponsor and participant of the Challenged Athletes Foundation since its inception.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT

KA Enterprises recognizes its responsibility to operate in a way that best conserves the world’s natural resources. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through innovative ideas and the ongoing use of sustainable business practices. To that end, we will proactively explore ways to cost-effectively “green” our portfolios while delivering favorable risk-adjusted returns to our investors.

In addition, KA has invested in several commercial and residential projects that require certain LEED levels before the project can commence.
