Looking ahead, we've set out a bold new Roadmap with ambitious targets across carbon, biodiversity, water efficiency and social impact. Our goal? To generate more than £90 million in verified social value and lead the way in future-proofed housing.
Sustainability is a core part of the foundation for how we approach development. This year’s report reflects our ambition to lead by example and to ensure that our homes deliver for the people who need them most, for the planet and for future generations. We are extremely proud of the progress we have made as a team.
