ABOUT US

Community and Civic Improvement

Faros Properties has a long history of civically and philanthropically “giving back”. We feel a responsibility to do our part to improve the communities where we live and work. We often donate money and encourage all our employees to volunteer their time and talent to a myriad of local causes. Giving back is a core part of our values that we encourage and foster. Our company and team are actively involved in numerous Initiatives which include: programming free community events, mentorship to urban youth, supporting cultural institutions, fundraising campaigns and implementing green initiatives.

Recycling

Taking a green initiative is incredibly important to us, which is why Faros has a company-wide waste recycling and management program. Because properties are compensated for their recyclable materials, this level of recycling has restructured waste disposal to produce revenue instead of remaining a cost item.

Green Cleaning

All Faros properties have active “green cleaning” programs designed to use eco-friendly cleaning products, equipment, and methods, with no increase in cost compared to previous cleaning practices. What’s more—we have received positive tenant feedback following our eco-friendly changes, proving that it is easy being green.
