We believe everyone is entitled to a good quality home that they can afford in a place where they are proud to live. To achieve this, we are working to create a better society, building affordable homes and communities, and doing so in more socially responsible and sustainable ways, lessening the impact we have on our environment and collaborating with others to deliver these outcomes.

Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy provides the business with a formal and measurable structure to deliver this commitment to create a better society, enabling us to deliver improved performance that is consistent with our mission and vision.

ESG issues are embedded into our decision-making at all levels. Our actions on issues are measured, benchmarked, monitored in alignment with ISO14001, and their performance reported to the management teams and Orbit’s Board. Orbit’s ESG strategy is a core aspect of the Group’s overarching Orbit 2025 Strategy and its delivery will be organised into the four themes:

“Tackling climate change is probably the biggest challenge the world faces. UK social landlords have a fundamental role to play in reducing the environmental impact that arises from building and maintaining homes. To do this takes strong partnerships with government, the supply chain, residents and funders.”
