Sustainability strategy 
We are committed to sustainable development, both for the long-term environmental benefits, and because it is fundamental to our main aim of providing affordable homes.

Peabody launched its first comprehensive Sustainability Strategy in August 2002. We are now working on a revised Environmental Sustainability Strategy that will be available in December 2009.

The new strategy will provide Peabody staff with a revised set of aims for 2011.

Peabody's report by the Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development at De Montfort University, set out how we can meet the Greater London Authority's target, of a 60% reduction in CO2 by 2025, and deliver zero carbon Peabody estates by 2030. The report sets out the broad refurbishment approaches available to Peabody and provides detailed estimates on the likely cost in delivering these reductions.
