Dolphin Living's ESG report 2025

In 2020 Dolphin signed up as an early adopter of ‘The Good Economy ESG’ reporting standard, which sets out a number of baseline sustainability measures against which adopters must report, and evidences Dolphin's commitment to achieving high performance in all areas of ESG.

We have now published our fourth report, and this can be read in full here.

In both our homes, our office and through development and our supply chain we will:

• minimise our carbon footprint through reducing electricity and gas usage, and prioritising carbon
  reduction measures in our homes, developments and refurbishments;
• monitor our construction projects to reduce the environmental impact of activities on site;
• risk assess all our construction, development and refurbishment projects against the predicted local
  impacts of climate change;
• develop sustainable procurement processes for our goods and services;
• assess and reduce carbon emissions across our housing stock;
• deliver net gain biodiversity at our developments, creating great places for both people and nature
  to thrive;
• work with residents so they can make greener choices; and
• encourage our residents to put the environment first and to integrate good environmental practices
  into their everyday lives.

During 2022, we undertook a review of the available industry benchmarks. Consideration was given to
audience (resident or investor), scope, service levels and cost; SHIFT by Suss Housing was selected as
a sustainability measure/benchmark. The third Suss benchmark report was completed this summer and
the outcomes are included in the report.

A sustainability group comprising the CEO and other senior members of staff was established in 2022 to
monitor and review our progress against Dolphin Living’s targets. Additionally, we also have signed up to
the BPF Net Zero pledge and Suss Housing completed the mapping of our Net Zero Carbon by 2050
roadmap. This roadmap will be updated annually and used to guide the improvements required for each
individual property.
