Our Sustainable Commitments
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time and we're committed to tackling it head on. We're taking action to reduce our carbon footprint and, since 2013, we've cut operational carbon emissions by 51%. We've recently released our Net Zero Transition Plan and we're focused on meeting our ambitious target to reach Net Zero emissions across all our operations, homes and supply chains by 2045.
It’s more important than ever to reduce construction waste and, as a responsible housebuilder, these are just some of the commitments that we have made:
- We will reduce operational carbon emissions intensity by 36% by 2025
- We will reduce carbon emissions intensity from our supply chain and customer homes by 52.8% by 2030
- We will also cut our construction waste intensity and use more recycled materials by 2025
