Our Vision: Transforming Tomorrow
At Berkeley Group our passion and purpose is to build quality homes, strengthen communities and improve people’s lives. We are innovating, pushing boundaries and taking action to ensure we have a long-term, positive impact that is good for our customers, the communities we touch, our business and the world around us.
We transform underused sites into exceptional places and we’re also transforming the way we work; embracing technology and raising standards, as we continue to deliver an outstanding customer experience and create high-quality homes that delight our customers.
Vision 2030
Our Vision 2030 is our ten-year plan which sets out how we will achieve our sustainability and community goals across all our developments, including Bow Green.
Key Pillars
Transforming Places
Working with local people and partners we create welcoming and connected neighbourhoods where you can be proud to live.
Transforming Lifestyles
Taking action on climate change and giving you ways to live more sustainably. We’re building efficient homes that use less energy over their lifetime, with sustainable travel choices on the doorstep.
Transforming Nature
Creating beautiful places with habitats that help nature to thrive, meaning that every site is left with more nature than when we began.
Transforming Futures
Helping people to reach their potential through apprenticeships and training, and programs supported by the Berkeley Foundation.
The Berkeley Foundation
Berkeley takes social responsibility very seriously. In 2011 we set up The Berkeley Foundation, with the aim of supporting Britain’s young people and their communities.
We do this through a number of partner charities that tackle some of the most pressing social problems affecting young people today, including homelessness and unemployment. The money raised comes from the Berkeley Group, and also through the tireless and inventive efforts of our staff.
Our Investment Goal
We have set a goal for The Berkeley Foundation to invest £10 million over the next five years to support young people and their communities. Every penny will be spent on charitable activities and worthy causes to ensure that maximum benefit is achieved.
Energy and Carbon
The UK has set a target to be Net Zero by 2050, with many councils going a step further and setting 2030 as the target year. The built environment, including all existing buildings, is responsible for around 40% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, so at Berkeley Group we have set science-based targets, including a 40% reduction in carbon emissions from the use of our homes by 2030.
