As one of the largest housing associations in the North East, we recognise the impact our business activities can have on the environment and how, as a responsible organisation, we can take significant steps to reduce our carbon footprint.
This ranges from reducing the environmental impact of our business activities and housing to helping customers and staff make informed decisions that fit into their own lives.
Thinking about the planet also supports our core value to do the right thing for our customers, our people and our business.
We offer an extensive community investment programme and one of its key themes is to support ‘a greener, fairer future: by reducing, reusing and recycling’.
This has resulted in tens of thousands of pounds in grants being awarded to environmental initiatives, from community gardens to a food recycling and redistribution centre.
We also have a community allotment near our office in Seaham, which we encourage tenants and the general public to be a part of, and benefit from.
Although believe housing has had an environmental team for just one year, we became the first housing association to achieve the Carbon Neutral International Standard. And the first to take part in the Climate Neutral Now initiative.
