GreenSquareAccord has announced that it has become an adopter of the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing (SRS).

GreenSquareAccord is one of the biggest social housing and care providers in England, providing housing and support services to 54,000 people in England.

The housing association was formed in 2021 via a merger between Accord Housing Association and Greensquare Group and now has around 25,000 homes.

Ruth Cooke, Chief Executive of GreenSquareAccord said: “We’re proud to have adopted the Sustainability Reporting Standard (SRS) for Social Housing.

“The SRS is a consistent, sector-wide reporting method and this will ensure our reporting will be comprehensive, transparent and aligned to other reporting, which is of benefit to both us and our investors.

“Being part of this community will allow us to demonstrate our investment in the sustainability of our communities. Measuring and continually improving our sustainability performance through the SRS will support us in making our homes warmer, more efficient and cheaper to run ensuring a better future for our residents.”

Brendan Sarsfield, Chair of SfH, said: “We are pleased to welcome GreenSquareAccord as the latest adopter of the SRS.

“We are looking forward to supporting the housing association’s journey to becoming a more sustainable organisation.”
