We recognise that the construction industry impacts on climate change with the emissions generated through the use of the homes we build, our business operations and through the construction process. We aim to build homes responsibly and efficiently, and reduce the CO2 emissions generated by our developments.

Our Chief Executive Pete Redfern sits on the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) Climate Change Board and has ultimate responsibility for the Company’s strategy on climate change. Our Sustainability Working Group is tasked with developing our UK approach to climate change.

In 2008, we measured our carbon dioxide emissions from our UK offices and car fleet as part of our involvement with the CBI on climate change. In 2009, we began to set up data collection systems to measure carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from our UK operations. We aim to publish part year figures in our 2010 CR Report.
