Sustainability

We're committed to making our homes more comfortable, affordable, and environmentally friendly.

  • Our commitment

  • Our goal is to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band C for all our homes by 2030 and become a net zero organisation by 2050. 

    These improvements mean lower energy bills, increased comfort, and a reduced carbon footprint for our customers and future generations.

How we're making it happen

We’re prioritising homes which have an EPC rating of D or below and installing heat-retaining measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation, and renewable technologies including air source heat pumps and solar panels.

Over 2,000 homes have been targeted to have their EPC rating improved from below band C, up to the standard or above by 2030. We aim to make significant improvements to selected homes each year to help us achieve our goal.

What does it mean to be net zero?

Becoming net zero means balancing the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. When what we add is no more than what we take away, we reach net zero.   

We’re well on our way to reaching our 2050 goal, having already made energy improvements in thousands of homes and saving customers hundreds of pounds on their energy bills.
