Sustainability

Dandara's sustainability strategy displays a focused goal to embed ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) into its development plans for a positive impact on the environment and people.

What is ESG?

It stands for Environment, Social and Governance. ESG represents broad topic areas and we have reviewed these to identify the ones that we as a business can impact - both positively and or negatively and in the context of risks and opportunities inherent to Dandara's day to day activities.

ESG topic areas material to Dandara's operations and activities include:

  • Environment: Climate Change Mitigation and reduction in Energy, Water, Waste.
  • Social & Governance: The impact a new home brings to the local community including improved local infrastructure, area regeneration, and employee wellbeing and the values, ethics and management of our business, including DEI (Diversity, Equality & Inclusion), accountability, and transparency.

Dandara Sustainability Strategy

Dandara has developed a new Sustainability Strategy which aims to place communities at the heart of our developments and help embed ESG related aspects into our practices and procedures.

We take the environment and our links with the local community very seriously. We are committed to facilitating a more sustainable future through the creation of energy and water-efficient homes and through the development of tangible benefits and social value for new and existing community residents.
