Building Greener Homes
Our vision for 2020: "We will have completed our first zero carbon community and all our developments will be low or zero carbon. Our proven track record of delivering high quality, well-designed, comfortable homes with low environmental impact will make them highly desirable to customers and will have expanded our market base. Homes built by Berkeley will be recognised throughout the industry as the very best examples of sustainable design and construction." |
The homes we build have an environmental impact not only during the construction process but also through their occupation. Designing homes to meet environmental performance standards such as the Code for Sustainable Homes, helps minimise these impacts whilst giving us the ability to clearly demonstrate their performance to our customers and other stakeholders.
However we know that environmental performance standards alone do not cover all of the measures that we could take to reduce the environmental impact of the homes we build. Vision2020 therefore commits us to integrating additional measures to reduce impact where we believe these add value or meet the demands of our stakeholders.
This section of the website sets out our current performance alongside details of how we aim to deliver Vision2020 in relation to the following environmental issues:
