Investing in sustainable homes and communities
SNG has a clear social and environmental purpose to provide homes that people love over generations.
Over 90% of our homes we provide are for people who aren’t able to afford to rent or buy privately, and we have a clear strategy to reduce the environmental impact of homes so they can be enjoyed by future generations.
Over 70% of SNG's stock is at EPC C or above, with a delivery plan to increase this to 100% by 2030.
Our primary target, which follows years of research and assessment of our properties, is to improve all of our properties to EPC B+, creating an operationally net zero carbon housing portfolio by 2047.
We are a social purpose organisation and investment in our communities is core to our strategy. We are creating a community foundation to invest over £100m of external and internal funding over the next 10 years.
SNG remains well governed, with G1/V2/C2 ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing.
