Our Sustainable Development Roadmap sets out our route towards having all our new homes zero carbon.
Creating sustainable communities
Our Sustainable Development Roadmap highlights how we’re embedding sustainability across our operations.
It charts how we intend all our new homes to be fossil fuel free and are ensuring high standards of energy efficiency in any new home we complete by 2025. This will be a major step along the road to Clarion becoming a zero carbon organisation by 2050.
We’ve already scrapped fossil fuel heating systems from our designs for future homes and developments.
Making our new homes zero carbon will reduce emissions and slash energy bills.
We’re also reducing our impact on the environment by designing new developments to result in biodiversity net gains.
And we aim to create walkable communities where shops and other amenities are within a 15-minute walk of where people live.
Building Sustainable Communities
Clarion’s first Sustainable Development Roadmap, which sets out our goals and ambitions up until 2025.

75%+
reduction in operational carbon emissions from our new homes (compared to 2013 standards)
Foundations
Our approach to sustainable development is underpinned by the importance we place on:
- Social value - not only providing homes, but also building inclusive communities and delivering economic growth through jobs and apprenticeships.
- Healthy places - putting the health and wellbeing of our residents first, creating healthy spaces for all. We aim to create walkable communities where cars are no longer needed.
- Adaptable and resilient - delivering safe and secure homes designed to mitigate against the impacts of climate change.
- Planet friendly - promoting greater biodiversity by creating places for people and nature to thrive in, using products from sustainable, ethical and responsible sources.
- Energy and carbon - moving to deliver homes that are net zero carbon and reduce our carbon footprint.
