Kent-based housing association Golding Homes has been awarded the gold accreditation by SHIFT (Sustainable Homes Index for Tomorrow).
The sustainability standards for the housing sector, SHIFT benchmarks best practice for organisations who want to reduce the negative impact that their work has on the environment.
Last year Golding Homes published its first Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) Report, including its response to climate change challenges and the actions being taken to reduce its impact on the environment while delivering a sustainable service for customers now and for future generations.
Tom Casey, Executive Director of Development and Strategic Asset Management, said: “This award builds on the Silver accreditation we received in 2021, following the launch of our environmental strategy. It’s the result of the tremendous amount of work we’re putting into our commitment to make Golding greener as we move towards our net zero carbon footprint ambition.
“The Gold accreditation is a great achievement, but we want to keep getting better at what we do, set challenging targets and achieve the highest of sustainability standards. That’s why we’ll carefully consider the recommendation from our assessment so that we can learn, put in place robust plans, and keep improving on our sustainability credentials.”
