Everyone deserves a new home that has a positive impact on communities and the environment.
We work with a range of industry experts and organisations with a long history of championing meaningful change, which puts us in the position of leading the industry and demonstrating the art of the possible. We believe in sharing knowledge, being the agents for change and inspiring a way forward.
Our sustainability strategy is integrated throughout our operations and communications, giving partners and customers the chance of a new home that has a positive impact on communities and the environment, and a place that inspires a change in behaviour with sustainability at the heart.
Our unique approach to sustainability tells a story of a better world for homeowners – how they live, work, travel and interact.
We focus on three strategic themes, which help us frame our strategy, tackling carbon reductions, delivering nature recovery, and supporting people and communities.
Our commitment is to reduce our emissions as close as possible to zero, aiming for a 50% reduction by 2030. We are at the forefront of building net zero carbon homes, meaning that carbon emissions from heating, lighting and cooling are zero or below.
What’s more, through looking at the embodied carbon emissions associated with the construction of our homes, we will create a baseline from which we will work to reduce this as much as possible.
We committed to achieving a biodiversity net gain of 10% on our developments three years before this became the statutory minimum.
We will continue to do so whilst recognising that biodiversity net gain is about more than just numbers; it’s also designing wilder places, empowering communities, and encouraging nature stewardship.
