For Fannie Mae, ESG is more than a priority as a leading financial company. It is a framework that helps us manage our business and prioritize our actions, powered by our mission: to facilitate equitable and sustainable access to homeownership and quality, affordable rental housing across America. Housing affects all aspects of society — from where we grow up and live our lives, to the stability of our communities and our financial well-being. Fannie Mae is passionate about serving people across the country, including by knocking down barriers to affordable rental housing and homeownership for historically underserved populations. To that end, Fannie Mae is pursuing new ways to inform and educate homebuyers and new solutions to lower down payments and closing costs. We believe our breakthrough initiatives to help renters build credit to potentially become homeowners hold incredible promise. World 50, a global community of business leaders, honored Fannie Mae for “innovation in creating scalable solutions and systemic change in diversity, equity, and inclusion. ” It shows how Fannie Mae’s workforce helps us better see and serve a diverse nation.
