Sustainable homes, neighbourhoods and communities are at the heart of what it means to deliver a home for everyone
Working smarter
We are taking colleagues on our environmental journey, ensuring paper consumption and business driving miles are reduced, phasing out single use plastic at our offices and using environmentally friendly stationery.
Sustainable homes
We are committed to improving the energy performance of our existing and new homes. This runs alongside our core ambition to support our customers and address fuel poverty.
Shaping futures
We are working with customers and partners to ensure that sustainability lies at the heart of our organisation. We want to shape healthier futures across our communities.

Our sustainable finance framework November 2023
We believe that this Sustainable Finance Framework (the “Framework”) underscores and facilitates the long-term funding and execution of our sustainability priorities. It is important that the finance we raise in accordance with this Framework is transparently allocated to projects and initiatives that align with relevant sustainability standards and positively impact our underlying customers in a sustainable way.
Our stakeholders will appreciate that at the very core of our business lies the ambition to deliver better social and environmental outcomes for our customers. We seek to endorse this objective through our Framework.

We are proud to have been accredited with a SHIFT Gold award, following our fourth assessment. The SHIFT assessment measures how housing organisations are performing against over 22 environmental criteria, including CO2 emissions, water use, landfill waste and response to climate change.
