Sustainable homes & helping wildlife to thrive
Everyone deserves a new home that has a positive impact on communities and the environment.
Leading change across the industry
We work collaboratively with industry experts and organisations to share knowledge, test new approaches and support progress across the housebuilding sector. We believe in sharing knowledge, being the agents for change and inspiring a way forward.
Our sustainability approach focuses on reducing carbon emissions, supporting nature recovery and creating social value for people and communities.
A fingerprint for success
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.
Towards net zero carbon
We are focused on reducing carbon emissions across our operations and homes, improving the quality of our carbon data and working collaboratively with the wider housebuilding sector through the Future Homes Hub.
Going beyond biodiversity net gain
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.
Creating strong communities that thrive

Our performance
Our 2024 impact report reveals our sustainability achievements since 2020 and shares how we are going beyond traditional housebuilding to create vibrant, sustainable communities.
We are committed to the aims of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and our strategy aligns to these goals.
