Sustainable Finance Framework

In our first Sustainable Finance Framework, we set out our commitment to environmental responsibility, how our activities have a positive impact on people in our communities, and our robust governance framework.

Proceeds from the framework will fund a range of sustainable and social projects including retrofitting our existing housing stock, delivering new affordable housing and a wide range of community investment initiatives that secure better futures for households living in our homes.

We have established a Sustainable Finance Group to oversee our Sustainable Finance Framework which is responsible for selecting and allocating funds to eligible projects, assessing and reporting social and environmental impacts, and ensuring continued compliance with the framework.
