We've joined the Future Homes Hub to support our Net Zero ambitions

We have become a member of the Future Homes Hub, a collaborative initiative driving progress in the homebuilding and social housing sectors to deliver high quality, sustainable homes.  

By working alongside developers, suppliers, housing providers and government, the Future Homes Hub addresses the practical challenges of climate change, resource efficiency, biodiversity and customer wellbeing, all central to our five golden sustainability metrics.  

Joining the Hub marks another step forward in our ambition to reach Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a core objective of our corporate strategy.  The partnership will also strengthen our ability to measure and monitor whole life carbon in our developments, providing essential insight into the environmental impact of each home over time.  

We will collaborate through the Future Homes Hub on trailblazing initiatives such as Homes for Nature, which aims to embed biodiversity and nature recovery into housing developments, creating vibrant communities where people and nature flourish together.  

Elizabeth Froude, our Chief Executive and member of the Future Homes Hub’s Board, said: “We know that the homes and communities we build and manage today will shape future generations.  That’s why it’s essential we collaborate, share knowledge and lead with purpose.  

“The Future Homes Hub provides a vital forum to accelerate innovation and action across the housing sector and I’m proud to have been part of its journey since day one.  At Platform we are deeply committed to reducing emissions, enhancing biodiversity and delivering homes that are not only affordable but truly sustainable.”  

Through this new partnership, we will strengthen our collaborative efforts across the sector, access cutting edge innovation and remain at the forefront of delivering energy efficient, sustainable homes for its customers and the planet.  

Ed Lockhart, Chief Executive Officer at Future Homes Hub said: “We’re delighted to welcome Platform Housing Group to the Future Homes Hub.  Achieving sustainable growth in new homes is essential to meeting the UK’s housing needs while tackling the climate and environmental challenges of the 21st century and housing associations have a vital role to play.  Platform’s expertise in developing and managing high quality, sustainable homes will be a valuable asset to the new homes community as we work together to meet the sector’s climate and environmental goals and create great places for people to live.”
