Sustainability

our policy
CARBON REDUCTION

Aim for net zero embodied and operational carbon for all developments.

WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING

Consider reuse and recycling as part of the design process – whole building and components. Develop off site manufacturing solutions where possible.

REDUCING RUNNING COSTS

Work with building designers, operators and occupiers to target operational costs and efficiencies – reducing overall running costs an carbon emissions.

EFFICIENT DESIGN

Optimise design to increase efficiency of both material use and operations, reducing overall cost in use and resources deployed.

FLEXIBILITY IN USE

Consider future uses of buildings to reduce redundancy.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Work with local communities throughout the development process, targeting the generation of real local benefits and local support.

MONITORING
  • Integrate ESG reporting into the development process – through design, delivery and occupation.
  • Set and agree metric targets with development partners and the multiple teams involved – to be used as quantifiable performic targets.
  • Monitor post occupation evaluations.
  • Evolve processes and initiatives following feedback from completed and ongoing developments.
