Registration is now open for the launch of the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing, an important development in unlocking significant new private investment needed by the social housing sector.

The launch, being hosted by Centrus, is the culmination of a 12 month process, initiated by the 17 sponsors and members of the ESG Social Housing Working Group and a consultation which has taken in the views of 250 organisations from across the social housing and financial sectors. We expect more than 60 housing associations, lenders and investors to commit to being early adopters of the new Standard.

The Good Economy led the process of researching and developing the ESG criteria using a participatory, stakeholder-led process to produce the initial White Paper.

The launch event will include a panel discussion with some great speakers, including Bob Kerslake (Peabody), Harvey McGrath (Impact Investing Institute), Sarah Forster (The Good Economy), Phil Jenkins (Centrus), Paul Hackett (Optivo), with more to be confirmed soon.

You can register here from today.
