ESG & Sustainability

Places with purpose.
Value that lasts.

Our environmental, social and governance approach connects the needs of people and places with responsible development.

Our ESG policy

Three responsibilities.
One development approach.

From acquisition to operation, our policy focuses on environmental responsibility, social value and accountable delivery.

Environmental

Make considered use of buildings, land and resources.

  • Seek opportunities for reuse and heritage retention.
  • Consider energy efficiency and future running costs.
  • Promote responsible materials, resource use and waste reduction.

Social

Create places that respond to people and local needs.

  • Support suitable homes and care-aligned accommodation.
  • Consider accessibility, wellbeing and shared spaces.
  • Encourage local employment and supply-chain opportunities.

Governance

Bring clear responsibility to complex development decisions.

  • Coordinate planning, funding and delivery oversight.
  • Consider viability, financial controls and project risks.
  • Promote transparent partnerships and ethical procurement.
Principles in practice

Different places.
A shared responsibility.

The Sandars heritage buildings and landscaped estate
Flagship development / The Sandars

A new use for a heritage estate.

At Thorpe, the former Cemex headquarters has been converted to later living. Phase 1 brings 57 retirement apartments into a 27-acre setting, with Grade II and Grade II* buildings, a swimming pool, gym, restaurant and shared residents’ spaces.

Operational since January 2026, the development brings heritage reuse and the day-to-day experience of residents into the same project.

Major regeneration project / Beatties

A long-term role for a city landmark.

The proposed Beatties scheme combines 306 apartments and 22 commercial units in Wolverhampton. Heritage constraints, shared structures and phased delivery shape the approach to giving the former department store a renewed purpose.

The project is at viability review and pre-construction stage. Its planned rental strategy considers the building’s future operation alongside its redevelopment.

Accountability

Principles carried
through the project.

We aim to apply these principles through project assessment, partner selection and delivery decisions, reviewing our approach as schemes evolve.

Specific outcomes depend on each project’s design, approvals and delivery stage.
