18 Sept: Navigating Sustainability: A Housing Board Member’s Guide
Overview
Housing organisations can minimise their negative impact on climate change and, at the same time, improve quality of life and cost of living for residents.
It is crucial that all Board Members participate fully in debates about what to do and how much to do. Understanding your organisation’s operations and assets through a sustainability lens will improve outcomes for your residents and the planet.
But what is most important to focus on as a Board Member within the multitude of competing demands? How do you link your organisation’s strategic asset management to resident needs? What are the risks of not making sustainability central to your business plans?
Join Campbell Tickell and a panel of expert speakers to discuss these questions and more this September.
Speakers
- Adam Broadway, Associate Consultant, Campbell Tickell
- Julian Beaney, Business Services Director, Orbit Group
- Emma Davies, Board Member on Good Homes Alliance, and Principal Sustainability Officer for Cambridge City Council
This session is being chaired by Campbell Tickell Director, Jon Slade.
Our speakers will cover:
- Why a ‘sustainability lens’ matters
- What good practice looks like at Board and Executive level.
- Residents: understanding the link between sustainability and customer needs
- Risks and rewards: making sustainability ‘business as usual.’
We will seek to unpack this complex subject and make the case for a wider intervention of sustainability.
The panel discussion will be followed by Q&A with the audience.
Who should attend
Board members in registered providers (Housing associations, for-profits and local authorities).
