Environmental, Social & Governance Reports
Welcome to our Environmental, Social and Governance Report. The report looks at our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) highlights from the last financial year and it is the second time we have published as an adopter of the 'Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing'.
The Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing (SRS) was launched in November 2020. You can read more about this reporting here
The Standard was set up in response to concerns that ESG investment in social housing was being inhibited by the absence of a common reporting standard. The SRS is a voluntary reporting framework, covering 48 themes across the three overarching areas of Environmental, Social and Governance and includes sub-themes such as zero carbon targets, affordability, safety and resident voice.
This report is forms part of our wider performance reporting, which includes our Annual Report, Financial Statements, Transparency Reports, Corporate Social Responsibility Statement and Customer Assurance Team Reports, all of which helps the Trust demonstrate to customers, funders and stakeholders how we perform against key criteria including, climate change, social value and resident voice and governance.
We are very aware that there are many challenges for our tenants and for the planet. As a local employer and landlord of choice we remain committed to investing in our homes, tackling the challenges faced by our customers, communities and colleagues and above all Building Back Fairer.
