Climate change is the challenge of a generation and we are committed to playing our part in protecting the planet for future generations.

The new homes we build are energy efficient and we are investing in retrofitting our existing homes to bring them up to modern energy standards.  As well as helping to protect the environment, this will save customers money and help combat fuel poverty.

We are encouraging our customers and colleagues to join us on this journey by raising environmental awareness and nurturing a culture that values the environment, community landscapes and energy efficiency.  Even the small things like making recycling easy for people, wildflower planting and using FSC certified paper for our publications have an impact.

Our Environmental Strategy 2024-29 has five main goals:

To design and build energy efficient homes, creating sustainable places to live

Building new homes is environmentally one of the highest impact activities we undertake. We will work towards minimising the environmental impact of construction.  Our homes need to be sustainable and attractive in eth communities where we develop.

To effectively manage our energy use and reduce our carbon output

We need to understand the energy we use in the homes and spaces we manage, and be clear on the environmental impact and cost. It is important that we manage contracts effectively to reduce consumption and minimise our carbon output, helping our customers and our business.

Invest in our existing homes to improve their energy efficiency, helping to minimise the impact of fuel poverty on customers and ensure homes are safe, decent and free from dampness and mould

Customers regularly tell us that energy costs haveasignificant impact on their household budgets. Through our annual planned maintenance programmes, we will continually improve the sustainability of our homes by improving their energy performance.

Improve our environmental management of waste and water and support biodiversity and habitat

Our homes, spaces and communities will be managed in partnership with our customers in a way that is sensitive to the environment.

Engage with our customers, colleagues, and partners to inform them of our environmental management work and journey towards sustainability and net zero

Our journey towards becoming an environmentally sensitive business needs a collaborative approach by all stakeholders in Clanmil.
