Rooftop Housing Group is proud to be an early adopter of the new housing association Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting standard, as overseen by The Good Economy.
The Good Economy are specialists in measuring and managing long-term, sustainable impact, and in November 2020 they launched the Sustainability Reporting Standard (SRS) for Social Housing. The SRS was developed with the ESG Social Housing Working Group, which is a collaboration between 18 housing associations, banks, investors, and sector experts.
“Social” includes how affordable and how secure our tenancies are, how safe and how high quality our buildings are, and how we support and listen to our residents.
“Environmental” includes how we are reacting and tackling climate change, how we support our ecology, and how we manage our resources.
“Governance” includes how well we are structured and governed, the make-up and skills of our Board, and our staff wellbeing.
This reporting standard gives consistency, and comparability in ESG reporting, and aims to encourage ESG investment in social housing.
