NextGeneration 2010 is now up and running. New full and associate members are invited to join what will be an exciting year for the Initiative. The benchmark theme this year will be Sustainable Communities.
Under the challenging new theme of Sustainable Communities, housebuilders will be assessed on their performance in relation to a wide range of community and place-making issues, such as, transport and connectivity, stakeholder engagement, local economic development, public realm and social space. Common themes from previous years' benchmarking criteria will be supplemented by new criteria which seek to address emerging issues for housebuilders such as sustainable community infrastructure, post-occupancy evaluation and affordability. The criteria will be finalised by April 2010, ahead of the start of the company assessment process.
NextGeneration is still welcoming new members for 2010. Please contact Philip Hirst with any enquiries about either full or associate membership and see the Membership page for further information on benefits.
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.
