Our Commitment to a Greener Future

We care about the homes we provide and the communities we support. We also understand the importance of doing our bit to protect the environment.

As an accommodation provider, we know that running safe, comfortable homes uses energy, water, heating, maintenance, cleaning and transport. That is why we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and supporting the UK’s goal of reaching Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

What we’re doing

βœ“ Improving energy efficiency across our homes

βœ“ Using LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances where possible

βœ“ Encouraging responsible use of heating, electricity and water

βœ“ Using local suppliers and contractors where practical

βœ“ Reducing unnecessary travel by planning maintenance carefully

βœ“ Reusing furniture and equipment where suitable

βœ“ Improving recycling and reducing waste

βœ“ Using digital systems to reduce paper and printing

Our aim is to provide safe, comfortable and well-managed accommodation while helping to create a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future for the people and communities we support.
