UK-GBC members, The Berkeley Group and Crest Nicholson have been named as the top two most sustainable homebuilders during 2012.
According to the results of the 2012 NextGeneration benchmark, The Berkeley Group is the UK’s most sustainable homebuilder, with Crest Nicholson maintaining last year’s second position.
The NextGeneration benchmark annually ranks the top 25 UK homebuilders’ performance in delivering sustainable homes and brings together homebuilders with government, investors, industry experts and leaders to share best practice in sustainability.
The comprehensive benchmark exercise takes over six months to complete and assesses those developers responsible for constructing over 60% of new homes in the UK each year with a combined construction value of £5 billion.
Homebuilders are assessed based on their own sustainability performance as a company, including Governance and Risk Management and the amount of energy consumed in their offices and onsite, as well as the sustainability of the homes and communities they create.
Paul King, UK Green Building Council CEO, commented: "It's great to see the latest NextGen benchmarking study of house-builders launched today.
"In times when industry leadership on sustainability is more important than ever, the report highlights the progress of our leading house-builders who have taken some great strides over recent years, and who recognise that sustainability is inseparable from good quality and customer satisfaction. Congratulations to Berkeley who have come top once again, but also to all the developers for taking part and continuing to raise the bar."
