Where we are now. Our latest SHIFT results

Written by Admin | Jan 25, 2023 3:06:24 PM

We are pleased to report that we have been awarded a SILVER environmental standard for 2022 as part of our most recent SHIFT accreditation. This is a testament to the hard work we have put in to reduce our environmental impact.

 

Measuring our environmental impact

SHIFT, which stands for "Sustainable Homes Index For Tomorrow," is an evaluation that determines how well a company is doing in terms of environmental considerations.


It does this in accordance with 21 criteria, such as carbon dioxide emissions, water conservation, landfill waste, biodiversity, and response to climate change risks. This ensures that we fully understand the improvements required to lessen our company's environmental impact and increase its sustainability standards.

 

The areas of a business that SHIFT cover are:

  • Existing properties – assessing the sustainability of existing asset management
  • New build standards – benchmarking the standard to which an organisation builds new properties
  • Leadership and strategy – demonstrating an organisational commitment to sustainability
  • Supply chain - looking at our biggest suppliers

A BRONZE accreditation was awarded to us last year, which is fantastic, but we knew we could do even better. In the report which is linked below, you can learn more about the complete results.

 
 
 

Our race to reach net zero by 2050 is on.
