Sustainable investment is key to the future growth and development of MTVH. It is an integral part of our strategy, as well as enabling us to meet government and regulator targets on Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and the move to Carbon Neutral by 2050.
Delivering sustainability
1. Sustainable Reporting Standards (SRS)
MTVH is an early adopter of the Sustainable Reporting Standards (SRS) developed by the ESG Social Housing Working Group (led by impact measurement and management specialist, The Good Economy). SRS are based on a set of criteria and are designed as a sector-standard approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting. SRS will give clarity to cross-sector performance and help support investment decisions.

Sustainable homes and services
We want to work with banks, pension funds and insurance companies, and other investors who share our commitment to sustainability.
Ensuring that our residents live in ‘safe, warm, dry’ homes in a sustainable way is a core criteria of meeting our future funding requirements. As part of this commitment MTVH has agreed ESG KPIs with our lenders including;
- Reducing the CO2 emissions from our office estate, vehicle fleet, and the energy supply to the communal areas of our properties.
- Increasing the EPC ratings of out homes to a minimum of C by 2030.
- Narrowing the Gender Pay Gap.
- Increasing the Social Value generated by contracts with key suppliers.
Savings from meeting the KPI targets will be reinvested to support residents and communities in which we work.
