84.6% of our housing stock has achieved an energy efficiency rating of EPC C or above. The average SAP rating is 72.4 and we will meet the Government’s target of 100% EPC C or above by 2030. Currently, 0.81% of our property stock lacks EPC data. These properties have been incorporated into our Asset Management Plan, with targeted actions underway to ensure full data coverage across our portfolio by March 2026.
New build homes will work towards the Future Homes Standard, which aims to produce 75-80% fewer carbon emissions than those built under the 2013 building regulations. Homes will require an EPC rating of A or B, and high performance fabrics will be required together with low carbon heating and heat recovery systems.
Criteria 2. Distribution of EPC ratings of new homes (those completed in the last financial year).
| Year | New homes | EPC rating | % |
| 2024/25 | 268 | B | 100% |
| 2023/24 | 166 | B | 100% |
| 2022/23 | 119 | B | 100% |
| 2021/22 | 132 | B | 100% |
| 2020/21 | 92 | B | 100% |
Criteria 3. Does the housing provider have a Net Zero target and strategy? If so, what is it and when does the housing provider intend to be Net Zero by?
We are committed to achieving the 2050 Net Zero target mandated by the Climate Change Act. As a housing provider, our carbon emissions stem primarily from our housing portfolio and business operations.
Our housing stock is on track to become ‘zero-carbon ready’ by 2035. This includes upgrading all homes to EPC rating C by 2030, aligning with sector targets. These improvements will enhance energy efficiency, reduce heating demands, and lower carbon emissions from our least efficient properties while improving tenant comfort. A phased rollout of low-carbon heating systems will follow, timed to coincide with the replacement of existing gas boilers.
We acknowledge falling short of our 20% carbon reduction target for 2020. To enhance accuracy, we have refined our data analysis and will set a new baseline and target for the next five years (2026-2030).
Criteria 4. What retrofit activities has the housing provider undertaken in the last 12 months in relation to its housing stock? How do these activities align with, and contribute towards, performance against the housing provider’s Net Zero strategy and target?
We continued our energy efficiency programme of works, installing ‘low-regret’ measures to 79 properties, including low energy lighting, loft insulation, smart thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves to below ‘C’ rated properties.
Beyond Housing secured a £1.12 million grant in 2023 from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, channelled through the Tees Valley Combined Authority consortium. This funding, combined with an additional £2.5 million investment from Beyond Housing, enhanced the energy performance and reduce carbon emissions of 81 homes in Redcar and Scarborough with 297 measures.
The initiative included two key projects. The first involved installing energy-efficient measures such as insulation, upgraded heating controls, solar panels, and air source heat pumps in 49 dispersed properties across the region. The second project focuses on a block of 32 flats in Hunmanby, included a shared ground loop system, solar panels, external wall insulation, and energy-efficient windows will be implemented.
Criteria 5. Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions
Our overall emissions have increased from 1,582 to 1,954 tonnes this year, an increase of 372 tonnes.
The increase of 372 this year is due to an increase in transport emissions going from 742 to 1,089, an increase of 347 in scope 1 and 25 tonnes in scope 2. During 2024/2025 our fleet has increased by 91 vehicles due to the fleet renewal process, these vehicles completed 828,978 miles over the last 12 months. The additional 91 vehicles brought our total fleet to 482 vehicles as at March 2025
Our 2024/25 emissions will be our baseline year with the current transport contract running until 2029.

The UK Government greenhouse gas reporting conversion factors for 2024 were used in preparing this report. Action on Energy Efficiency which the company undertook during the reporting period As part of our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, we undertook a major retrofit of Hungate Court, a 1945-built block comprising 32 flats. This project was delivered through funding from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Wave 2.1 and involved a comprehensive package of energy efficiency measures. Key upgrades included the installation of a Ground Source heat pump, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, high performance double glazing, and a fully insulated roofing system. These improvements were designed to enhance thermal performance, reduce energy consumption, and lower carbon emissions.
Before the retrofit, the properties held Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings of D and E. Upon completion, all homes achieved EPC ratings of A and B. This significant uplift not only contributes to our net zero ambitions but also delivers meaningful reductions in energy bills for residents, improving comfort and affordability.

Criteria 6. How has Beyond Housing mapped and assessed the climate risks to its homes and supply chain, such as increased flood, drought and overheating risks? How is Beyond Housing mitigating these risks?
Beyond Housing holds flood risk data for its housing stock, as shown below:
A strategic approach for mitigation for flood, draught and overheating risks will be developed as part of the 2025-2030 Strategic Asset Management Plan.
Theme 2: Ecology
Criteria 7. How is Beyond Housing increasing green space and promoting biodiversity on or near homes?
A strategic approach will be developed as part of the 2025-2030 Strategic Asset Management Plan.
Development and new build
Going forward, the Development team will carefully consider biodiversity net gain requirements in all planning. This means ensuring new developments result in an overall increase in biodiversity compared to the site’s pre-development state, where possible. If the constraints of the site do not allow for this the net gain can be provided off site.
For regeneration projects like Church Lane North, we’ve addressed this by repurposing underutilised space into private gardens, enhancing access without reducing green areas, and incorporating ‘pocket parks’ to create additional public green spaces within the development.
Criteria 8. Does Beyond Housing have a strategy to actively manage and reduce pollutants? If so, how does it target and measure performance?
A strategic approach will be developed as part of the 2025-2030 Strategic Asset Management Plan.
Theme 3: Resource management
Criteria 9. Does Beyond Housing have a strategy to use or increase the use of responsibly sourced materials for all building works? If so, how does it target and measure performance?
Procurement
Beyond Housing is developing its approach to sourcing and managing responsibility sourced material. Beyond Housing has a strategic relationship with Travis Perkins (TP), its main materials supplier for direct use. TP sources products and services from thousands of suppliers around the world. Responsible sourcing of quality products from approved suppliers is essential to establish resilient and transparent supply chains, and to protect the group and its customers from interruption or reputational damage.
In 2020, TP introduced an online risk assessment tool questionnaire to test suppliers’ commitments to responsible sourcing. The questionnaire covers a range of topics, including environmental considerations, health and safety compliance, ethical responsibility and product compliance. TP also carries out site inspections for manufacturers of its own brand products and is continuing to roll out this programme to other suppliers within its group.
Beyond Housing works closely with TP to discuss up-and-coming products and a review of TP’s supply chain is a part of this analysis.
Beyond Housing is developing a plan to target and assess the use of responsibly sourced materials with all material suppliers throughout the organisation. The organisation intends to prioritise this area in procurement processes for new suppliers starting in 2026.
Development and new build
Previously, Homes England mandated Code for Sustainable Homes assessments for our projects these requirements are now integrated into building control regulations. To uphold our commitment to sustainability, we stipulate the use of responsibly sourced materials in all new build contracts as part of our design brief.
Criteria 10. Does Beyond Housing have a strategy for waste management incorporating building materials? If so, how does it target and measure performance?
Beyond Housing conducted a waste management review in 2024/2025, selecting providers via a procurement tender that required data on recycling improvements and sustainable waste removal. The new contract began in March 2025. Due to the area Beyond Housing serves, it has two waste management contractors.
Beyond Housing is committed to reducing our environmental impact through robust waste management practices. We actively promote recycling and work to reduce the volume of waste sent to landfill, helping to lower our carbon footprint. Our approach includes regular audits and data tracking to monitor waste streams, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
Contractor one currently diverts 99% of the waste they handle from landfill. The remaining waste, such as asbestos or inert material used for daily cover in landfill operations or for landfill restoration, does not have alternative disposal options. This practice is consistent with a zero waste to landfill policy.
Contractor two currently diverts 95% of all waste we receive from landfill.
Criteria 11. Does Beyond Housing have a strategy for good water management? If so, how does the housing provider target and measure performance?
A strategic approach will be developed as part of the 2025-2030 Strategic Asset Management Plan.
