Housing Association, Rooftop Housing Group has achieved the Planet Mark certification. In this Decade of Action, the company wants to ensure that they are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact on the environment.
Working with Planet Mark, it is committed to embedding sustainable practices throughout its business operations. Over the next year, Rooftop Housing Group will be working towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others.

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.

A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
