MISSION ZERO
Hear why we have made it our
mission to reach zero carbon by 2040

All of our apartments buildings are green certified



As a 1.5°C aligned company, we have set ourselves ambitious science-based emissions reductions targets.

NET ZERO CARBON BY 2025

By 2025, we'll reduce greenhouse gas emissions as far as possible, with the remainder offset in an approved carbon offset scheme. Our net zero target applies to scope 1 & 2 emissions.

ABSOLUTE ZERO CARBON BY 2040

By 2040, no greenhouse gas emissions from our business activities. No offsets. Our absolute zero target applies to scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions.

SCOPES

Scopes are emissions categories defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol

These are our direct emissions from our operations, like petrol, diesel, and gas that power our fleet vehicles, generators, hot water systems and boilers. 
This is the power we buy/use in our operations. It might be from a source onsite or what we’ve bought for the buildings and places we operate.
The carbon we indirectly emit is also something we think about. So we consider the emissions generated in upstream activities such as the manufacturing of building materials, or downstream activities such as emissions from business travel, tenant power consumption or transporting materials. 

OUR FIVE-STEP PATHWAY

Our targets are ambitious, but we can’t afford to work any other way. We don’t have all the solutions yet, but through this five step plan we’re going to turn our commitments into action.

We'll apply solutions available now, then allow time for emerging technologies to be commercially viable and partnerships with suppliers and tenants to develop.
