As the world faces the escalating challenges of climate change, Alderley Group are committed to leading the way in sustainable development and environmental responsibility. Our approach combines innovative practices, long-term vision, and a deep commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, ensuring that our projects not only meet the needs of today but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future.
In 2019, we made a bold decision: we committed to a zero-gas policy across all our developments. This decision was driven by our understanding of the critical need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and our desire to be at the forefront of sustainable construction practices. By eliminating the use of gas in our projects, we have significantly reduced the carbon footprint of our buildings. This initiative not only aligns with global efforts to combat climate change but also provides our residents with the added benefits of lower energy costs and healthier, more sustainable living environments.
Our zero-gas policy is more than just a technical achievement; it’s a statement of our commitment to environmental leadership. By removing gas from our developments, we’ve taken a significant step towards decarbonising the built environment, setting a standard that we believe will become increasingly common in the years to come.
Another cornerstone of our sustainability strategy is the fabric-first approach. This method prioritises the performance of the building envelope—its walls, roof, and floors—ensuring that our developments are highly insulated and energy-efficient from the outset. By focusing on the fabric of the building, we minimise the need for additional energy inputs such as heating and cooling, which are typically responsible for a large portion of a building’s energy consumption.
The fabric-first approach not only reduces the environmental impact of our buildings but also enhances the living experience for our residents. Homes built using this method are more comfortable, with consistent temperatures throughout the year, and are more cost-effective to run, thanks to reduced energy requirements. It’s a win-win solution that benefits both the environment and our residents.
While our achievements to date are significant, we are always looking ahead, setting ambitious goals for the future. Our long-term vision is to become a low-carbon, net-zero company by 2050. This journey requires continuous innovation, investment in new technologies, and a commitment to sustainability at every level of our operations.
To achieve our net-zero goal, we are focusing on several key areas:
In addition to our focus on reducing carbon emissions, we are dedicated to integrating greenery and soft landscaping into our projects, aligning our developments with the needs and well-being of the local community. We believe that sustainable living encompasses not only the buildings themselves but also the environment that surrounds them.
Where possible, our developments are designed with communal gardens, landscaped courtyards, and tree-lined pathways that provide residents with access to nature right on their doorstep. These green spaces are tailored to meet the unique needs of the community, offering areas for relaxation, social interaction, and physical activity. By incorporating native plant species and sustainable landscaping practices, we create environments that promote biodiversity and reduce water usage, all while enhancing the aesthetic and ecological value of our developments.
At Alderley Group, we are proud of the progress we have made so far, but we know that the journey towards sustainability is ongoing. We are committed to leading the industry in creating a built environment that is not only high-quality and affordable but also sustainable for generations to come. Together, we can build a greener, brighter future.
