eco cadwyn

At Cadwyn we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. We have signed up for the International 10:10 campaign and we have been awarded with The Green Dragon standard.

We also aim to consider our environmental impact when building new homes for our tenants. A number of our new homes are built to the Code Level 4 for Sustainability. This means that these homes have a very low environmental impact and are very energy efficient, as well as reducing energy bills for tenants.

We are also looking at ways to make existing homes more environmentally-friendly by installing solar panels onto the roofs of existing homes. Please see the Solar Power section for more information.

We actively encourage our tenants and staff to become involved in environmental initiatives, for example the 10:10 campaign and through tenant groups. Our tenants at Jubilee Gardens, for example, have been involved in a number of environmental projects from litter picks to gardening and have been presented with a Royal Horticultural Society Award for their efforts. Please see this short film for more information.
