What are people saying about the SRS?

  • We were more than happy to support the Sustainability Reporting Standard when it was launched over four years ago, as it aligned well with our sustainability roadmap. We will shortly publish our fifth annual ESG report under the standard. Supporting the SRS has allowed us to highlight our progress in ESG to a range of our stakeholders since 2021.

This sector-led initiative has transformed the way the UK’s social housing sector manages and reports on sustainability performance and is playing a vital role in helping demonstrate environmental, social and governance credentials to investors. We’d encourage other housing associations to come on board to make the most of these opportunities.

  • We’ve been reporting on our environmental and social impact for the past five years, and setting ourselves annual and long term targets to hold ourselves to account and ensure we continue to achieve the best possible outcomes for our customers and their communities. We value the transparency the Sustainability Reporting Standard brings. It’s playing a key role in our journey to become a more sustainable, resilient organisation, and is helping the social housing sector attract the funding it so desperately needs.
