"We are committed to environmentally friendly practices in home renovations and operations with a focus on energy, water conservation and waste reduction. Our team renovated 14,000 homes in 2021 alone, investing nearly $500 million and prioritizing greening components. We are grateful to be able to contribute private capital to help provide affordable, quality homes for families and households across the United States."

"Upon completing our first ESG report and reflecting on the potential of our impact, we are excited to strive for ambitious ESG targets in the years ahead," said Josh Pristaw, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Real Estate at Pretium.

"As we continue to implement and pursue leading ESG targets, we plan to submit multiple funds to GRESB, the leading benchmark for ESG in the real estate community, to measure our progress towards our goals," said Dana Hamilton, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Real Estate at Pretium.

Highlights of Pretium's Environmental Report include:
