Building sustainably
Building Sustainably is our framework for future homes, great places and better living. It brings together our ambitions, targets, activities, and metrics across our most important issues. We’re totally committed to Building Sustainably, protecting and enhancing the things that matter to us most as a business: our people, the places we create, and the natural world in which we operate.
What matters most
To identify and prioritise the issues that matter most to our stakeholders and our business, we analyse our stakeholders’ expectations as well as the social, environmental and economic impacts along our value chain in a materiality analysis. This helps to ensure our strategy remains relevant and fit for the future while focusing on building long term value.
Both Barratt Developments and Redrow undertook materiality assessments, and they were broadly aligned around the material issues identified. We will use the combined outcomes of both materiality assessments to inform our future strategy.

Supporting the sustainable development goals
Our strategy has been developed to contribute towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global blueprint for achieving a more sustainable future. The 17 goals represent an ambitious call to action for sectors of society to address key global challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss and social inequality.
We have reviewed all SDGs and identified nine where our business can deliver the greatest positive impact. This selection was informed by analysis of our operations, material sustainability issues, as well as engagement with stakeholders.
By focusing on the SDGs most relevant to the built environment, we ensure our strategy supports long-term value creation whilst contributing to national and global sustainability objectives.
