Registered providers understand the importance of decarbonisation
Across the housing sector, organisations have developed net zero strategies, assessed their housing stock and identified the investment required to improve energy performance and reduce carbon emissions.
The challenge is no longer understanding what needs to be done. The challenge is delivering retrofit and decarbonisation projects at scale while balancing affordability, resident priorities, regulatory requirements and long-term asset performance.

Registered providers continue to operate within a challenging financial environment.
Organisations must balance decarbonisation ambitions with competing investment priorities, including building safety, asset maintenance, compliance obligations and the need to keep homes affordable for residents. The most successful programmes are those that can demonstrate environmental, social and financial value simultaneously.
