Adding value
Each year, our contractors do hundreds of things to help our residents. These include providing apprenticeships or training sessions, donating equipment, and refurbishing community buildings.
Social value in action
Our scale enables us to deliver significant social value, transforming the lives of our residents and strengthening communities. Working closely with like-minded suppliers, we create impactful initiatives that maximises every pound spent and unlocks opportunities for our residents.
In our latest Social Value Delivery Report, we celebrate the contributions of our supply-chain partners in 2024/25 and showcase the positive difference they made to our residents and communities.
Sustainability
We’re working with our supply chain to reduce waste, use less energy and water, and increase recycling and the use of sustainable materials.
Our suppliers and contractors are supporting our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and reach net zero by 2050. And our major contractors – Engie, Wates, and United Living – have to meet targets for levels of carbon emissions and waste.
Our Sustainable Development Roadmap sets out our expectations of companies we work with in building new homes.
