Accent Group Sustainability Commitments
2025
Start biodiversity net gain
Accent says it has committed to a 10% biodiversity net gain in new developments from 2025. Biodiversity net gain means leaving nature in a better state than before building work started, for example by creating more habitat for plants and wildlife. The commitment is tied to future development work and gives a clear year for when the target begins.
2028
Use Warm Homes funding
The company secured £3.6 million from the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund to improve energy efficiency between 2025 and 2028. This is a future programme aimed at making homes easier and cheaper to heat. The funding suggests more retrofit and upgrade work is planned over that period, although the material does not give a full breakdown of the exact measures.
2030
Reach EPC C across homes
Accent says it is on track for all homes to reach at least EPC C by 2030. EPC C is a mid-range energy rating that means a building is more efficient than lower-rated homes. This target is one of the clearest long-term climate and energy commitments in the material, because it sets a specific year and a measurable outcome.
