To Our Stakeholders
We are pleased to present Camden’s 2018 Sustainability Report, highlighting our commitment to sustainability and good
corporate citizenship. We have many programs and initiatives in place supporting environmental, social and governance (ESG)
matters, and we look forward to sharing information on those efforts with our stakeholders through this report.

Environmental Camden is committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner, using our resources wisely,
and continually seeking ways to reduce consumption, conserve energy and water, and enhance our waste management and
recycling efforts. Some of our green initiatives to date include completing HVAC and LED lighting projects, utilizing high-
efficiency appliances and kitchen/bath fixtures, enhancing landscaping and irrigation systems, implementing recycling and
waste management programs, and installing electric car charging stations at various properties across our portfolio. We also
incorporate sustainable practices in our new development and construction projects, and Camden currently has 17 apartment
communities which have either received or are expected to receive LEED or other green building certifications.

Social We strive for a high level of engagement with our stakeholders including our team members, customers and
shareholders, as well as the local communities in which we live, work and play. We offer top-notch employee benefits, training
and development programs; actively seek feedback through employee and resident surveys; and take time to recognize and
honor our Camden associates. Our dedication to excellence in the workplace has resulted in recognition for 12 consecutive
years as one of FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For ® in America, and our focus on customer service resulted in
recognition as a top 10 manager for online reputation by J Turner Research during 2018. Shareholder communication is
another key initiative for Camden, and we conduct numerous investor meetings each year to discuss the Company’s long-term
sustainable business strategy and operations. Our efforts in this area were recognized in 2018 by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), with Camden earning the Silver “Investor CARE” award for large cap REITs. And finally,
our Camden Cares program for community service continues to have a positive impact on those around us. During 2018,
Camden associates volunteered over 6,500 hours and supported numerous charitable causes across the markets
we serve.

Governance We believe companies with strong corporate governance and responsible business practices merit greater
shareholder returns and corporate value. Camden has implemented many best practices related to corporate governance,
ethics, compliance and risk management, which are further detailed in this report. We are proud to have a Board of Trust
Managers who are diverse in their backgrounds and experience, and our Board composition is currently 30% female. We
will continue to monitor and enhance our corporate governance programs as appropriate to ensure the interests of our
shareholders and our company are well-represented.

We appreciate this opportunity to share information on our sustainability efforts with you. Thank you for your continued support.

 Sustainability

Incorporating sustainability into our overall business, including operations, property management,
new development and construction, is a natural extension of Camden’s mission. We continue to
identify innovative sustainable practices that support our communities, residents and associates,
while reducing our reliance on natural resources.

To better formalize and strengthen our previous efforts, Camden formed a Sustainability Committee
to take a lead role in developing, implementing and monitoring the Company’s strategies, policies,
programs and activities regarding sustainability and ESG matters. Our efforts are led by individuals
with responsibility for implementing sustainable practices across our corporate offices, new
development projects and our apartment communities. We are committed to operating in an
environmentally responsible manner, using our resources wisely, and continually seeking ways to
reduce consumption, conserve energy and water, and enhance our waste management and
recycling efforts.

Corporate Office
Camden is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and choosing a “green” building for
our corporate office space was an extension of that commitment. We selected a building with LEED
Gold certification, located in an area well-served by public transportation and close to multiple
dining options.

For the design and construction of our corporate office, we selected sustainable materials for furniture
and flooring, installed energy-efficient appliances and fixtures, and utilized low VOC paints, adhesives
and sealants. We also diverted over 75% of our construction waste from landfills. The choices we made
in designing our corporate office resulted in Camden receiving a LEED ID+C Commercial Interiors Silver
certification for its new space.

which offers online service requests and rent payment options, allowing transactions to be completed in a time-

notices, communicate with residents and inform the community of local events without posting paper flyers or mailing
paper notices.
