Responsible investment
Our commitment to ESG
At the core of our business is a commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) excellence.
We’re focused on creating high-performing, energy-efficient buildings, meeting the vital need for schools and care homes in undersupplied areas, and upholding integrity, transparency and accountability in everything we do.
We embed ESG principles into every stage of property investment and development – from site selection and design to construction and long-term asset management.
All our completed assets currently meet a minimum EPC ‘C’ rating, and we are ensuring all our new assets have a minimum rating of ‘B’.
Alignment with the United Nations sustainable development goals
Our ESG strategy directly supports several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SDG 3
Good health and well-being
By providing safe, nurturing environments that support emotional, physical, and developmental needs, we advance good health and well being.
SDG 11
Sustainable cities and communities
We support this goal by sustainably reusing and conserving buildings, prioritising high-quality innovative design, and delivering essential education and care services in underserved areas.
SDG 10
Reduced inequalities
Our SEN schools are tailored to deliver inclusive, high-quality education, directly contributing to quality education, while our care homes and family centres help address social barriers, supporting reduced inequalities.
SDG 13
Climate action
Each of our sites are currently redeveloped from existing properties and upgraded to a minimum EPC C rating, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Environmental impact
We transform neglected sites into high-quality, energy-efficient environments that support care and education. From restoring Grade II listed schools to delivering purpose-built facilities, our developments enhance both communities and the built environment. All projects meet a minimum EPC C rating, with recent schemes targeting B or better – some achieving A.
