Putting sustainability first

We’re not the only people passionate about these things and we’re excited about giving our full support to a Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing that has just been launched by the ESG Social Housing Working Group.

The Standard aims to encourage more consistency when it comes to reporting against environmental, social and governance issues. We’re proud to be Early Adopters of the Standard, which we will report against on an annual basis.

We can achieve more for communities when we hold ourselves accountable to higher standards - Here’s some of the ways we’re doing this:

• Growing our Board by co-opting an influential voice in the region, Lou Taylor. With his expertise and knowledge, we can push our equality, diversity and inclusion commitments forward at a more rapid pace.
• Embracing Modern Methods of Construction to build homes in a quicker, more environmentally friendly way.
• Taking the lead from customers in terms of our services and delivery, meeting the needs of everyone we serve.

We’re confident we’ve got good ESG practice covered, but there is always more to be done, and more to learn. By bringing together investors and providers, we can share information in a more organic way and make sure that we manage risks collaboratively.
