Our environmental policy

Our Environmental Policy is to ensure that all of our activities and decisions make a positive contribution to the Sustainable Development Strategy for Northern Ireland.

Concern for environmental conditions and best use of resources is part of our business strategy.

We updated the Environmental Policy in April 2021.

Our policy is to:

  • maintain an independently certified environmental management system for the Housing Centre
  • remain committed to legal compliance and continual improvement of our environmental management system throughout Housing Executive business areas
  • train all staff in sustainable development awareness and provide specialist training as needed
  • develop and maintain targets in keeping with the Northern Ireland Sustainable Development Strategy
  • apply the reduce, re-use, recycle approach to waste streams
  • prevent pollution of air, land and water
  • support initiatives to develop sustainable local communities
  • offer environmental and sustainable advise to business, community and voluntary sector stakeholder organisations
  • enhance and protect biodiversity cross all Housing Executive landholdings
