Newport City Homes has an environmental sustainability strategic commitment which sets out our desire to reduce our environmental impact and support our customers, communities, colleagues, and partners to achieve lasting change.

“Being part of the adopter community to report and benchmark our performance and share best practice will support us in the achievement of our ambitions around sustainability, social benefit and being a well-run organisation.”

Brendan Sarsfield, Chair of SfH, said: “SfH welcomes Newport City Homes to the SRS adopter community.
