Futures Housing Group has published a suite of three documents outlining its performance and achievements across the last financial year, including for the very first time a dedicated ESG (environmental, social and governance) report.
The East Midlands based housing association has released its annual report on a new website which highlights some of its successes over the year, as well as a financial report demonstrating another strong financial performance.
The new ESG report outlines Futures’ performance against the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing. It shows not only the organisation’s achievements towards this so far, but its goals for the future in what is a relatively new, yet incredibly important arena for the organisation.
Futures’ number one priority is to help people and local communities by providing good quality affordable homes and defined sustainability as one of four core objectives in its corporate plan.
Ceri Theobald, Group Director of Strategic Partnerships & Growth at Futures said: “I’m delighted we’ve released our first ever ESG report, as it highlights the crucial work, we’ve been doing towards being more sustainable. Sustainability became one of our core objectives at the start of our current corporate plan and remains a key aspect that is important to our colleagues and customers. This passion to do well for people and the planet is something that runs throughout the whole of Futures.
“While we understand there’s a long way to go, this report highlights a great start for Futures on our ESG progress and shows how seriously we’re taking sustainability and our wider impact on the community.”
