Building sustainable homes and communities
Supporting home builders and their supply chains to meet the challenging sustainability targets set by the UK government.
The UK needs to build 300,000 homes each year, with improved levels of efficiency, quality and sustainability. The role of the supply chain in delivering this has never been more critical.
High priority sustainability issues for the homes sector include:
- The Future Homes Standard
- Zero carbon homes by 2030
- The clean growth strategy
- Zero waste
- The Modern Slavery Act
- Local plans
- Circular economy
- Equality, diversity and inclusion and FIR
- Biodiversity net gain
- Social value
It can be difficult to understand all these issues, and knowing where to focus efforts can be challenging.
