Boards are important when balancing organisational goals with accountability. Understanding climate risk is no longer a peripheral concern; it’s a core governance responsibility. The importance of social housing providers’ actions is well recognised across the sector. The question has shifted from whether to build a strategy to how to create one that meets environmental goals and supports your organisation, tenants, and staff throughout the process.
This session is designed to clarify how to align environmental priorities with practical governance and ensure oversight is effective and meaningful. It is for boards and governance leaders who want to apply strategic responses.
What you will learn
Strategic foundations: how to frame a climate strategy that reduces emissions across homes, communal heating systems, and supply chains while also preparing for the realities of heatwaves, flooding, and water scarcity.
Effective oversight: what governance structures and reporting lines are needed to ensure robust monitoring and meaningful Board-level scrutiny?
Translating data into insight: how climate-related data can be used to meet both current and emerging sustainability reporting standards, including the expectations of funders, regulators, and tenants.
