We care about the communities in which we work and live, and we recognise that we have a responsibility to make our commitments about more than just words.
In delivering the Warmer Homes Scotland scheme and our other projects, we monitor and report on a wide range of community benefits and sustainability-related outcomes; recognising the vital role that local businesses, communities and partners play in both supporting and benefitting from the service that we provide.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is to:
- Enhance employment & training – creating bespoke training and upskilling opportunities across all of Scotland
- Support communities with tailored approaches that suit their needs – operating across 32 regions prioritising the most vulnerable homes
- Work together with key partners and our supply chain – building a network of trusted organisations that can support one another
- Deliver real added value – for example launching hardship funds, finding placements for and mentoring young people, ensuring wrap around support and signposting are in place
- Co-ordinate our approach to managing and maximising benefits – using a transparent system that reports what we actually do and deliver
