Sustainability
Our determination to lead our market remains unwavering, and we wish to inspire others to join us in realising our ambitious vision for a sustainable future.Tim Seddon Chief Executive Officer
Building a better future
Our sustainability strategy takes a holistic approach across three core pillars.
We’ve set objectives and targets against each pillar to drive meaningful sustainable outcomes and systemic change across our business, residents, supply chain, investors, and in turn, wider society.
This is an opportunity to return economic, environmental, and social value and we are committed to drive the systematic change and collaboration that is so urgently needed.
As we achieve the targets we’ve set, we’ll continue to stretch ourselves with new ones keeping our business, internal team, and the supply chain at the forefront of leading industry action.
We have focused our efforts, so that we can make a real difference in reducing our carbon footprint and help ensure a positive future.Nick Jones Director of Property Services
Our sustainability strategy
Our sustainability strategy is built on three core pillars: planet, circularity, and social impact. These pillars guide our objectives and targets, driving meaningful outcomes and systemic change across our business, residents, supply chain, investors, and society as a whole.
Through this approach, we aim to deliver economic, environmental, and social value while fostering the collaboration and transformation urgently needed.
As we meet our current targets, we remain committed to setting new, ambitious goals, ensuring our business, team, and supply chain lead the way in driving industry-wide progress.
Planet
We are committed to ambitious decarbonisation goals to reduce our climate impact while restoring and enhancing biodiversity in our communities.
- We will develop all new communities to be fully net zero carbon from 2024.
- We’ll be net zero carbon on our operations by 2030.
- We’ll regenerate biodiversity up to 20% across all communities by 2030.
- We will support out operational supply chain and customers to be next zero carbon from 2034.
Waste management
Our strategy embraces circular economy principles to reduce waste, embodied carbon, and resource consumption. By integrating these across operations, developments, and resident collaboration, we aim to eliminate waste and build a sustainable future.
- We'll minimise, reduce, reuse and recycle at all our communities by 2030.
Social
Sustainability goes beyond the environment, addressing social and economic impacts. As operators of retirement villages, we’re committed to exceptional later living, thriving communities, and local economic growth through quality jobs, opportunities, and partnerships with local businesses.
- We’ll champion quality employment and provide local learning and development opportunities for all our communities from 2023.
- We’ll create cohesive communities and integrate with existing ones by harnessing the potential of our employees and customers from 2025.
