Our Approach
Integrating sustainability across our business
Building for tomorrow
We will reduce our environmental impacts and achieve net zero carbon reductions aligned to science-based targets in both the near and long term.
By minimising our environmental impact, we can also benefit from increased efficiencies throughout our supply chain and operations. We focus on not only operational environmental impact but also the benefit that improved sustainability can bring to our customers through their homes and communities.
Key priorities
We are committed to reducing carbon emissions from our operations and across our value chain and have developed our net zero pathway to 2045.
We aim to reduce absolute operational carbon emissions by 46% by 2030.
We aim to achieve zero carbon ready homes in use by 2030.
