Environment

This is something of which we can all feel proud.

2^nd November 2026 marks our second annual Green Day, and this year is all about our teams, sharing how they are making a difference to our business, saving carbon and making sustainable choices.

Following on from our fun green day fact book, this time we’ve got a three-minute video bringing to life just some of the everyday actions that are making a big impact. This year we were able to report that since we began measuring our footprint in 2022, we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by no less than 165 tonnes.

Thanks to our budding actors for their spotlight performances and for inspiring us all to take action.

In this short film, Sir David Attenborough looks at the science of climate change and potential solutions to this global threat.

Interviews with leading climate scientists explore hard hitting facts and events, from extreme weather conditions to what dangerous levels of climate change could mean for the future of our population and the natural world.

Members of our senior team have completed insightful and interactive Carbon Literacy Training with Adrian Cooper from The Clean Tech Business Group Ltd.

The two-session course embeds the principles of sustainability within the senior team to ensure they have the tools and knowledge to both implement change and communicate the business’s sustainability ambitions through their own teams.

We are launching a challenge for staff across the business for people to find their own ways of saving energy and reducing carbon with a mystery prize for the first winner.

As a starting point we are asking staff to calculate their personal carbon footprint using the WWF carbon footprint calculator

Our car fleet is now predominantly electric with the remainder of vehicles plug-in hybrids, and we have now started the conversion of our commercial fleet to electric.

We provide free electric charging points for our staff and at all our holiday rental properties at Marrington to help reduce car emissions.

We have robust recycling protocols across our offices and sites which includes strict paper and office consumables recycling, the use of green wastage skips for site waste management, segregating materials and minimising the use of non-renewable materials.

We are pioneering a new ecological approach to meet the proposed government legislation for all developments in the UK.

We work with suppliers and third parties to offset our carbon impact and are also now working with our suppliers to help them on their sustainability journey.  We communicate regularly with our own teams to take responsibility for energy usage and provide regular environmental training to ensure we meet our targets.
