City West Housing has launched the Our Impact 2023 report, measuring our environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact as a developer and manager of affordable housing with heart.
Highlights of Our Impact 2023 include:
- The significant gains we have made in installing and giving residents access to rooftop solar energy, with 50% of our buildings and 31.4% of all households now accessing solar electricity credits.
- How we are sustainably managing resources in the demolition of building sites, such as that for Boronia Apartments in Waterloo.
- Our investment in lighting safety to make buildings feel safer and more accessible to residents.
- The Aspire Education Fund, which is investing in young residents’ futures in ways that are already creating positive change in their lives.
CEO Leonie King said: “We pride ourselves on providing residents with access to well-located, quality affordable housing, which in turn facilitates inclusion through proximity and access to education, healthcare and employment.”
“This new Our Impact 2023 report documents Year Two on our journey towards creating a positive, sustainable future for our residents, staff, business, community and the planet.”
