Sustainability
What is sustainability?
Sustainability is a concept that touches on many different aspects of our daily lives. The three main strands of sustainability consist of social, economic and environmental aspects;
Social aspects would be things like creating neighbourhoods that thrive and where people want to live.
Economical aspects are things such as having fair wages and equal opportunities.
Environmental aspects include things like planting trees or heating homes using solar energy.
If all three aspects of life are sustainable, we can expect people, communities and the planet to remain healthy and productive for future generations.
Sustainability in action
Listen to Julie’s story about how the retrofit work at her home has improved her quality of life. Julie’s home received new wall and loft insulation, and new windows and doors.
Julie hosted Mayor Tracy Brabin and Minister for Energy Consumers Miatta Fahnbulleh at her home, where the Mayor and Minister announced a significant £70 million investment to retrofit more than 5,000 social homes across West Yorkshire.
We’re proud to have partnered with them on the retrofit work at Julie’s home, and 3,000 more of our customer’s homes will also benefit from this partnership.
