Developments Buying With Us Our Vision News and Insights About Us Home About Us Sustainability Sustainability Our approach to sustainability is about considering the future. It is about developing the homes and places of the future without compromising the ability of the younger generations to meet their needs. We consider the long term impacts of our activities and ensure that we take action to reduce them both in terms of running our business efficiently and considerately and by developing sustainable homes and places. The diagram below outlines our approach to sustainability. Click on each area to see how we promote sustainability in our day-to-day business activities and through the homes and places we create. Our Approach to Sustainability Communities and Sustainable Living Nature Climate Action Environmental Management Resources Supporting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals In September 2015, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all — laying out a path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which define the world we want — applying to all nations and leaving no one behind. Berkeley Group is committed to helping to achieve the SDGs and recognises that business has to play a very important role in the process. Although all the SDGs and the targets that underpin them are important and interconnected, it is imperative to focus our efforts on those that are most material to our business and where we have the greatest ability to deliver meaningful positive impact. We have identified six of the goals as being most relevant to us, based on a review of our business activities and value chain against the goals and their underlying targets. We consider that we have the greatest opportunity to contribute to the achievement of these six goals, particularly through the implementation of the Our Vision 2030 business strategy.
