We want to play our part in creating a greener, healthier future for our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re taking action to reduce our carbon footprint.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time and it’s something we take very seriously. We’ve cut carbon emissions from our business by 39% since 2013 and now we’re taking action to go even further.
We’re working hard to achieve ambitious carbon reduction targets for our business, our supply chain and the homes we build for our customers by 2030.
Energy efficient homes are good for the planet because less energy means fewer carbon emissions. An energy efficient home can also save you money on household bills.
Our homes have a variety of energy saving features including low energy lightbulbs, energy efficient appliances and water saving taps. Some also include renewable technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, which produce green electricity.
Our developments are designed to make it easy to walk, cycle and take public transport, helping you to cut your travel footprint. We’ll also be installing 36,000 EV charging points for customers over the next few years.
Behind the scenes, we’re powering our business on clean, green energy. We now buy 100% renewable electricity to run our offices and construction sites which accounts for around 58% of our total electricity consumption each year.
We’re also increasing the number of electric and hybrid vehicles in our fleet and testing greener alternatives to diesel fuel.
