Advancing Collective Responsibility Through Measurable Environmental Impact

At Capital Square, our commitment to collective responsibility extends beyond financial performance and is embedded in how we steward assets, operate communities and create long-term value for our investors and stakeholders. Environmental sustainability is a critical component of this philosophy, and our recycling partnership with Waste Management continues to deliver measurable, data-driven results across our portfolio.

Between February 2025 and February 2026, Capital Square successfully diverted 757 tons of waste from landfills, achieving a 7.7% diversion rate across Capital Square Living-managed properties. This figure represents meaningful progress and also reflects our disciplined, incremental approach to improving operational sustainability at scale.

Breaking down the environmental impact of these efforts demonstrates their significance. Through recycling and waste diversion initiatives, we achieved the equivalent of:

• 9,179 trees saved, supporting carbon sequestration and ecosystem preservation
• 1,299 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (MTCO₂e) emissions avoided, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas intensity
• 1,413 cubic yards of landfill airspace conserved, extending landfill lifecycle capacity
• 2.38 million gallons of water saved, reinforcing responsible resource utilization
• 823,600 kilowatt-hours of electricity conserved, reducing overall energy demand

These outcomes are not theoretical. They are quantifiable efficiencies that align with our institutional corporate responsibility and sustainability benchmarks.

Performance across our portfolio highlights several standout assets leading these efforts. Rivergate achieved the highest diversion with 202 tons, followed by Promenade at Newnan Crossing and One Riverside, each with 76 tons, Sterling Manor with 74 tons and Farmhaus with 68 tons. These properties demonstrate how localized engagement and operational discipline can scale into portfolio-wide impact.

Importantly, our waste diversion initiatives operate alongside broader sustainability investments, including the expansion of EV charging infrastructure (now 45 EV stations across 25 properties) and real-time energy meter monitoring systems. Together, these programs enhance cost savings and efficiency, advance resident-centric value drivers and position our assets to meet evolving regulatory and investor expectations.

Our investors can see that these results underscore a key principle: sustainability and performance are not mutually exclusive. By embedding collective responsibility into our operating model, Capital Square continues to generate measurable environmental benefits while strengthening asset resilience, reducing operational risk and supporting long-term value creation.

We continually seek new ways to deliver on our “investors first” commitment.
