Danescroft, one of the leading developers of residential and mixed use projects throughout London and the South-East, has achieved Planet Mark certification.
This is Danescroft Land’s second year of business carbon footprint reporting and Planet Mark certification. Achieving the Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders.
Danescroft Land is known for tackling and overcoming constraints that others have been unable to, the company is synonymous with considered, forward thinking and sustainable planning. The team at Danescroft benefits from considerable experience within the housebuilding sector, allowing the company to bring forward consents that are designed and constructed to the highest standard, with a sharp focus on deliverability, making a long-lasting & positive contribution to the local community.
“Danescroft Land has taken a vital step today. In committing to continuous improvement on their carbon footprint, the company has taken decisive action for the company, and the planet’s, future. Property development is an industry that will require dramatic shifts over the next decade as we transition to a net-zero future; Danescroft has made an excellent decision to embrace sustainability and take action today.”
Through Planet Mark, Danescroft Land has protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth directly supports the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It has also helped the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
Buildings are one of the major sources of carbon emissions in the developed world. Responsible for at least 20% of the UK’s carbon footprint, forward-thinking companies in the property industry have a huge opportunity in the form of a sustainable transition. A robust plan on climate change can be not only a positive for the planet, but also represent a source of new business.
To recertify next year Danescroft Land must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
