2012 NextGeneration Benchmark
 
NextGeneration members have dominated the top of the rankings during 2012
 
The Berkeley Group is the most sustainable homebuilder in the UK in 2012. Their score of 85% is the highest score recorded by a company during six years of benchmarking. In second place is Crest Nicholson who achieved a commendable improvement in their score from 2011 (8%) and Miller Homes secured third place in the benchmark for the fifth consecutive year. Homebuilders participating in the NextGeneration benchmark have risen to the upper levels of the ranking during 2012, “raising the roof” of what it is possible for a sustainable homebuilder to achieve.

 

The results of the 2012 NextGeneration Sustainability Benchmark were launched today at a high profile event in London. The NextGeneration report "Raising the roof - The UK home building sector’s contribution to a sustainable future" ranks the UKs top 25 homebuilders according to their sustainability performance. 

The full research report will be available soon, please continue to check this page for further updates. 

NextGeneration was launched in 2006 as an industry-driven initiative to drive best practice in sustainability into the heart of the UK’s residential development sector.
NextGeneration is a membership-based organisation, consisting of many of the UK’s largest homebuilders, overseen by a high-level Executive Committee to ensure the integrity and independence of the initiative. NextGeneration seeks to enable the industry to understand what opportunities and risks the sustainable housing agenda poses through benchmarking, networking and knowledge-sharing
NextGeneration’s 2009 benchmark assessed the top 25 UK homebuilders based on their sustainability strategy, governance and risk management and their impact on the environment and on society.
The 2010 benchmark has the theme Sustainable Communities and will seek to assess companies based upon their strategy, commitment to and delivery of sustainable communities, considering environmental, social and economic issues.
Any company with residential development activities can join NextGeneration as a member. Membership provides access to a range of services including our industry-leading benchmarks.
