Reducing our carbon footprint

We consider our sustainability goals when we make long term decisions, when we invest in your homes and communities and even when we talk to you about the changes you’d like to see in the future.

Last year we added 18 new fuel-efficient vehicles to our green fleet, and we also trialled some fully electric and hybrid vehicles too.

We also hope to introduce green appointment slots, to allow you to select an appointment time that ensures our operatives drive using the most energy efficient route to reach you.

We know staying at home for an appointment isn’t always convenient so we’re currently trialling a new service where you use the video on your phone to show us virtually something that needs fixing.  We can then analyse and assess the repair before we visit you.

As well as reducing our carbon footprint we’re also investing in biodiversity projects within our communities.

In Wiltshire for example, we’ve partnered with local group, Place for Nature to re-wild a piece of disused land in Devizes. Our plans will see the space transformed into a nature trail and improve the biodiversity of our estate.
