Sustainable development is at the centre of good governance in the twenty-first century. As businesses evolve, they should be prepared to deal with changing demands on their organisational structure.

The first rule of effective management is setting attainable targets. When it comes to sustainable development, this may seem like a daunting task, as it involves the long-term success of your organisation. However, the future of your company may depend on this small change in your current strategy.

For the past few weeks, our team has been focused on preparing for CIH’s Housing Conference. The three-day event promised to be an exciting opportunity to share ideas about the past, present and future of housing. Last Tuesday, the day finally arrived.

The Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing was updated on the 25th May 2022 to version 1.2. This exciting change brought forward some clarifications and minor edits to the original SRS published in November 2020. But what exactly are these updates, and how will they affect your SRS Report?

From 24 to 25 May 2022, we attended the Climate Change and Sustainability in Housing Conference.This was a great opportunity to connect virtually with peers and colleagues around the country to discuss the future of sustainability in the housing sector.

There is no time like the present to focus on ESG, with the Energy Crisis and Global Warming reaching a boiling point, the recommendations from last year's IPCC Report need to be implemented. 

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, Governance. The first two terms can be pretty self explanatory but governance is all encompassing so what exactly is it referring to. Effective corporate governance is at the heart of every successful organisation. But how do you have good corporate governance and what is it exactly?

A company is more than just profit. You should also be looking to contribute to society, but the impact here is less quantifiable. 

A Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) is the executive responsible for environmental, social and governance concerns. As sustainability becomes an increasingly central aspect of business, the number of CSOs has risen. Shareholders and stakeholders alike expect companies to show they are taking action to ensure the company’s long-term viability.

ESG or Environmental, Social and Governance is a framework for doing ethical business.
