Commitment to Sustainability. All participating partners to this agreement have committed to a strategy of creating a better life for all, not just for today, but for future generations to come. To do this, we must use finite resources in an efficient way, without waste, and protect the natural environment to enhance the ability of future generations to maintain and improve their lives. Within the social housing context, Consortium members recognise that sustainable development has a strong social dimension and that it is important to create and maintain communities that will thrive. We want to provide homes which remain desirable to our residents well into the future, with low running costs, and this requires the support of good quality, cost-effective goods and services that meet not only their current requirements, but also their longer-term needs and aspirations. This therefore requires us to consider the environmental, economic and social impact in all that we do. Anglian shall work with Consortium members and its purchasing partners to support this strategy and its supporting policies, and to demonstrate an active commitment to:- providing windows with a ‘U’ value of 1.4 W/m2/K (and an Energy Efficiency Rating of ‘A’) at the best possible price; supporting the Code for Sustainable Homes targets on new homes; tackling the fuel poverty agenda; supporting the use of frames and glazed units that are manufactured in the EU; effective environmental site management; waste management and recycling; reduction of waste to landfill; supporting each purchasing client’s existing environmental policies.
