Making Golding Greener

Seeds sprouting

Our new Environmental Sustainability Strategy sets out our commitments to reducing our impact on the environment and making our homes warmer and more affordable to run. It builds on our first Strategy, published in 2021, which placed an early focus on improving data, bringing in expertise, and establishing our environmental performance baseline. We’ve made good progress. 

We've been awarded the SHIFT Gold accreditation for three years running — 2023, 2024 and 2025, after also achieving silver in 2022. A range of environmental criteria is looked at in the assessment, including the energy and water efficiency of homes, the sustainability of new developments and the environmental performance of the business.    

Making Golding greener - our priorities for 2023-2026

We're working on eight ways to help us to become greener: 

  1. Warm and efficient homes
  2. Sustainable new homes
  3. Supported customers
  4. Green, clean communities
  5. Climate resilience
  6. Sustainable office and operations
  7. Sustainable procurement
  8. Monitoring and governance
