We have come a long way since we
launched our sector’s first Climate
Change Policy in 2007. Our direct
business operations are now carbon
neutral, we procure 100% renewable
electricity in the UK and are the only
homebuilder in the country to be
awarded an A rating for Climate Action
and Transparency by CDP, the highest
score possible.
But we must go further, and Berkeley
is now proud to be a 1.5°C aligned
business, having set independently
verified science-based targets for
reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
These targets cover our direct emissions,
the embodied carbon within our supply
chain and the in-use emissions created
by our homes.
These targets put us on a course to being
a net zero carbon business by 2040.
We are also playing a lead role in climate
change adaptation, creating new homes
and places that are more resilient to the
challenges of a warmer climate, and
which embrace the great potential of
nature-based solutions.
Our climate action programme is holistic,
ambitious and challenging. It involves
transformational changes to our business
operations and to the ways in which
we design and create new places in
partnership with our supply chain.
We want to play a full role in addressing
this global challenge and believe it
is the right thing to do for all of our
stakeholders.
