Leading the way
At Bellway, we recognise that climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. We are committed to reducing our own emissions through the setting of science-based targets (SBTs) and we will play a full and active role within the industry to drive innovation around carbon reduction.
Real solutions
For the benefit of our customers and the environment, we're doing everything we can to deliver energy-efficient homes. With the introduction of the Future Homes Standard, our homes will produce 75 – 80% less carbon emissions than those delivered under previous regulations.
Through collaboration and test trials, we’re working on a variety of technologies to help reduce carbon emissions from our homes. This includes working with Salford University on the Energy House 2.0 project, and opening a new dedicated ‘Future Hub’ training facility in Bolton, Lancashire.
As a company, we are proud of our performance to date, but it’s important that we set our standards even higher so that we meet the challenges of our time. Our new strategy will embed sustainability as a core value within Bellway, ensuring we continue to lower our carbon footprint.
