Making Golding Greener
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.
2024, we were once again awarded SHIFT Gold accreditation. This is the third year Golding’s been audited by SHIFT, having achieved silver in 2022 and gold for the first time in 2023, demonstrating a year-on-year environmental improvement. Our most recent assessment shows a 4% increase on last year’s score. 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:
- Warm and efficient homes
- Sustainable new homes
- Supported customers
- Green, clean communities
- Climate resilience
- Sustainable office and operations
- Sustainable procurement
- Monitoring and governance
