2023 - 2024
Introduction from the Chief Executive
New consumer regulations and satisfaction measures that evaluate our tenants’ perception of us reaffirm that every interaction we have with our tenants counts, and every decision we make must have our tenants at the heart of it.
Within this year’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, we look back at the work we’ve done in the last 12 months to make significant and lasting improvements on our three main objectives; becoming a first-class landlord whose services are responsive and accessible, building as many new affordable homes as we can, and becoming a leading employer in the Midlands.
