Making Vistry through Sustainability.
Developing sustainable new homes and communities means creating and delivering projects that are positive for both society and the environment. Our teams help us make sustainability business as usual, we all believe it’s the key to delivering our strategy.
Our Strategy Statement:

Efficiently collect and report robust sustainability data
We’ll use systems and artificial intelligence to collect data efficiently, to reduce the burden and ensure accuracy.
Tell great stories!
We’ll use engaging and inspiring story-telling to tell the world about our sustainability performance.
Our sustainability strategy focuses on two pillars: Climate and Resources, and Building Communities.
-
Climate and resources
We’re working to be a net zero organisation by 2040. We’ll make that happen by improving operational processes to manage and reduce waste in line with the waste hierarchy, and by embracing circular economy principles. We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of the materials we use in our operations. The house types our teams are currently designing and delivering minimise greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, running costs and environmental impact through the increased use of timber framed offsite construction.
Carbon reduction is a priority for us as a group, please see our carbon action plan introduction here:
We’re committed to reducing waste and diverting waste from landfill, we achieve this through designing out waste from our house types, working with our suppliers to reduce waste such as packaging and ensuring we manage waste effectively on our sites. Our waste contractors help to divert waste from landfill.
