Since the start of 2022, we have been engaging residents, staff and external partners to help shape our sustainability strategy and set our ambition.
We want to thank everyone, particularly our residents, who contributed their ideas and views on what we need to do to. We received over 1700 survey responses (600 of which included detailed ideas and comments), and 21 residents attended one or more of our sustainability workshops.
Our engagement activities, as well as our emerging evidence base on environmental impacts has helped set out priorities. Our strategy focuses on four areas where we need to drive change. It contains measurable objectives, with many recognising the importance of involving residents locally in the delivery of projects.
Warm, comfortable, low carbon homes: ensuring all our residents live in homes that are warm, comfortable and energy efficient by retrofitting and building them to become net zero carbon and resilient to a changing climate
Using resources sustainably: responsible buying of goods and services, alongside working towards being a zero waste organisation by 2050
Enhancing green spaces for nature and people: restoring and enhancing these spaces to maximise benefits for people and nature, and to provide inclusive and welcoming areas for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive
Net zero carbon: achieving net zero carbon for our own business operations by 2035, and net zero carbon for our homes and supply chain by 2050
