Our ESG Framework

At Greenwich Peninsula we have made a commitment to safeguard the environment and prioritising the well-being of individuals within it. We are integrating sustainability into all facets of our community; not only are we delivering exceptional developments of superior quality and value but also preserving and enriching both the built and natural surroundings. Our aspiration is to go above and beyond the basic compliance requirements, actively embrace innovative ideas and research to deliver the most environmentally and socially sustainable developments, assets and corporate operations.

Environment
Our net zero carbon roadmap delivers all our buildings and public realm to rigorous, science based targets, with our design and construction partners in powerful collaboration.
Society
We prioritise health and wellbeing across the Peninsula, continuing the culture of giving back through community investment and volunteering, and embed social and ethical values in our supply chain.
Governance
We are driving responsible business practices through transparency and accountability, monitoring and disclosure, effective policies and strategies for our leadership, staff and supply chain.

Safeguarding the environment

To achieve lasting value, we foster a spirit of collaboration among our employees, project teams, clients, partners, supply chain and investors. Our commitment to protecting the environment minimises our impacts and maximise positive effects. Whether through implementing energy-efficient technologies, utilising sustainable materials, or adopting environmentally conscious practices, we consistently seek opportunities to lead the way in sustainable business practices.

Low to Zero Carbon
Our ambition to be a low to net-zero organisation. This involves understanding our emissions footprint in the context of global remaining carbon budgets and aligning with the rate of decarbonisation required to restrict global temperature rise.
Creative
The inclusion of creativity implies our focus on innovative solutions and thinking outside the box to address sustainability challenges effectively.
Resource-efficient
This highlights the importance of optimising our resource usage to minimise waste and environmental impacts.
Prosperous and Resilient
Our sustainability efforts will not compromise economic well-being, but instead enhance prosperity and adaptability to changes in climate and society.
Inclusive
The focus on inclusivity ensures that all members of the community have an opportunity to participate and benefit from sustainability initiatives.
Positive Climate Impact
The vision emphasises not only mitigating negative impacts but also making a positive contribution to addressing climate emergency.

Catalysing social value

Creating social value is at the heart of the Greenwich Peninsula community. We are committed to making a long-lasting, positive social impact by being a catalyst for growth, whilst protecting those who are most vulnerable in the community.

Meeting needs
Setting social value targets for our business and supply chain to determine how future spend can be used to address social needs identified within our research. Creating bespoke community investment and employment to ensure that we can maximise the social value created at a plot and site wide level.
Employment & Skills
12,000 jobs will be created through the Greenwich Peninsula development. We will increase local employment and skills development opportunities for all and support the next generation of young people to develop employability skills and get 'work ready'.
Environmental awareness
We measure social and economic impact of environmental strategies that safeguard the Peninsula against the effects of environment change and increasing awareness of climate resilience.
Affordability, viability and inclusivity
We are ambassadors for creating equal opportunities for all and creating a mixed and balanced community. Growing as a responsible business and promoting a culture of giving back through community investment. Leaving a strong community legacy.
