ESG is a key part of AMH ’ s strategy and technology is intrinsically intertwined with it .
“ We are already in tune with all of the systems used to monitor that , and we ' re remediating issues ,” says Irby . “ We ' re at the top of our capability on the cybersecurity front . We ' re also working extensively to understand our energy usage through AI and analytics , gathering information from our communities or our portfolio homes .”
AMH has also built relationships with leading companies like Elevate , which help AMH to get better visibility into its energy consumption .
The way Irby sees it , technology drives sustainability , but AMH is using ESG to transform its technology . The company has established a sustainability group and its technology evolves in accordance with that .
