Making a Positive Impact across
FOUR KEY AREAS
Creating a positive impact for
Employees
As a responsible employer, we work hard to attract and nurture the best talent which is why it is vital that our Home for Success ethos extends to all those who
work with us.
This means creating a culture and working environment where difference is valued, and employees feel a sense of belonging. We recognise the importance of enabling employees to be more engaged, happy and healthy at work, including the part this plays in lowering turnover, sickness and absence, improving performance and productivity, and boosting employee safety.
Creating a positive impact for
Local communities
Creating social value that meets local community needs.
Our buildings and teams provide an opportunity to create real positive impact for local communities. Several of our properties include purpose-built spaces for use by local charities or community groups, and we are working to expand this by opening new community spaces in our existing estate as well as in future new developments. Our Positive Impact award scheme encourages all teams to set up community projects, and offers a full day of volunteering to all, providing employees with an opportunity to make a real difference and build better links between our properties, students and local communities.
We are committed to donating 1%* of our adjusted profit annually to social initiatives, which amounts to a commitment of around £2 million a year.
Creating a positive impact for
Students and young people
Investing in young people and creating room for everyone.
This year has seen us going further than ever to support students and young people, aiming to advance opportunities, inclusion and belonging on a national scale. Our ambition goes beyond the students who live with us, to create positive change across the PBSA sector as a whole
Creating a positive impact for
The environment
Reducing our environmental impact.
Our operations impact the environment, especially through carbon, energy, water, resource use and waste. We are committed to reducing these impacts across both our existing buildings and new developments. We are also keen to work with others, including our student customers and supply chain partners, to help them reduce the impact of their activity.
