We are very pleased to have produced our first Environmental Social Governance (ESG) report, which highlights the ways that we plan to reduce the carbon footprint of our homes.

We are committed to investing in our homes to make them more energy efficient and reduce running costs for our residents, while also reducing our impact on the environment.

We have also been successful in a bid for funding of around £770,000 to retrofit 77 properties as part of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF). This funding will allow to us to upgrade windows, flat entry doors, internal wall insulation in communal corridors, external wall and loft insulation and ventilation to help improve their overall energy rating and more cost effective to run.

Simon, our Chief Executive, said: “Having joined Sustainability for Housing,  are very proud to have produced our first ESG report in line with the Sustainability Reporting Standard. This report sets out the role we can play as an anchor organisation with a long-term financial plan and long-term mission helping us take a continuing view and decisions that meet the challenge of climate change and reverse trends across some measures of deprivation.

“We are determined to make our homes greener, warmer and more energy efficient – driving down costs to our tenants and recognising the importance tenants and residents place on the environment outside their front door.”

Sustainability for Housing (SfH) is the home of the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing (SRS) – an environmental, social and governance (ESG) standard designed to help the housing sector measure, report and enhance its ESG performance in a transparent, consistent and comparable way.
