Our sustainability journey
We're committed to making a lasting impact, just as our founder, William Sutton, envisioned 125 years ago – providing homes to those who need them most is at the core of who we are.
Today, as we face escalating living costs and environmental challenges, we're stepping up our efforts. Our mission is clear: lead the transition to net zero carbon homes by 2050, generating over £3bn worth of social value along the way.
It's not a new beginning; it's building upon the progress we've already made. We're amplifying our efforts, ensuring that everything within Clarion – every project, property, and action – contributes significantly to positive change for people and the planet.

Turning up the dial
All the success we've achieved this year is just a continuation of the significant progress we've made, we're now just turning up the dial to ensure that every action we take across Clarion, every home we build or manage is fit for our residents, our people and our planet.
In 2024/25 we:
- Delivered £130.3m in social value of which £128.3m was as a result of the work of our charitable foundation, Clarion Futures
- Directly invested more than £22m in energy efficiency measures
- Achieved EPC C or above on 76% of our existing homes.
