FSA's Commitment to Sustainable Development
FSA is committed to the principles of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. We recognize that the actions and decisions we undertake in the course of managing our company may have significant implications for future generations.
Our municipal and public infrastructure businesses support essential projects and services at the local, regional and national levels. These efforts, which in a sense meet many sustainable development goals, also include financial guarantees on certain debt issues that yield benefits beyond cost savings and liquidity. Proceeds of FSA-guaranteed bonds have funded land preservation trusts, not-for-profit assistance providers to the developmentally disabled, loans to build housing for low and middle income families in Mexico, utility companies providing safe drinking water for U.K. localities and a major convention center employing the highest standards in "green" architecture and operations.
Additionally, FSA's corporate culture and giving philosophy reflect our company's belief in contributing to our communities and preserving the environment. The company's charitable gift program directly supports causes that offer books for students from low income families, recreational opportunities for disadvantaged children, meal deliveries for the elderly and job training for the homeless. Employees receive a subsidy for commuting via public transportation, favoring the use of sustainable transit alternatives. And the company's matching gift program enables FSA to support employees' donations to eligible charities of their own choosing, aligning the philanthropic interests of FSA and its people.
FSA is proud to adhere to the concept of sustainable development and has exemplified its commitment through responsible corporate citizenship and innovative financings that improve lives, protect the environment and preserve our social assets and cultural heritage for future generations.
