Sustainability is something we’re building our future on. Our journey started with small steps and we’re making great progress, as quickly as we can, since launching our Sustainability Strategy in 2020.

Through renewable heating technologies such as air source heat pumps, we aim for all Cala homes to be net-zero carbon enabled by 2030. To support this, all new developments going to planning from 1st January 2024 will be gas-free. We have also set a wider target of net-zero total greenhouse gas emissions across the business by 2045.

In 2021 we carried out an extensive benchmarking exercise to establish our baseline carbon footprint, so we could hone our targets and refine our plans. This has also allowed us to establish thorough, extensive measurement of our progress when it comes to sustainability, so we can accurately report on our progress.

Sustainability goes beyond carbon emissions and our strategy has been carefully planned to initially focus on the things that will make the biggest difference. We are doing this through our homes and developments, the way we run our business, our people and communities, and our employees are empowered to own this as part of our culture. We will be a business that leaves a positive, lasting legacy for both people and the planet.
