ESG REPORT
2025 / 2026
Midland Heart has been continuing to provide quality safe and affordable homes, and services that put tenants at the heart of what we do.
This ESG Report summarises our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance for 2025/26, showing how we are delivering against our new tenant-led Sustainability Plan, investing in our homes and services, reducing carbon emissions, creating social value, and maintaining strong governance, assurance, and transparency.
The report begins with an overview of our new Plan, tenant and stakeholder priorities, standards, risk, and governance, before moving into our performance across three core areas:
The homes
we rent
How we are improving the energy efficiency, safety, comfort, and affordability of existing homes.
The homes
we build
How we are delivering new affordable homes, embedding energy efficiency, and creating long-term social value.
The way
we work
How we are strengthening our workforce, value for money, and sustainable finance to deliver investment and improve services for tenants.
The report also includes our response to the Sustainable Reporting Standard for Social Housing, updates on sustainable finance performance, and supporting appendices covering assurance, standards, and carbon reporting methodology.
