The results of the 2009 NextGeneration Corporate Benchmark have been launched at the Jones Lang LaSalle offices in central London, with Sir Bob Kerslake (Chief Executive, Homes and Communities Agency) giving the keynote speech at a well-attended event. The NextGeneration report "Laying Firm Foundations - UK homebuilders make progress in addressing sustainability" ranks the UKs top 25 homebuilders according to their sustainability performance. 

Sir Bob Kerslake, Chief Executive, HCA says: “It is good to see that sustainability has remained high on the agenda for house builders, despite the economic downturn. A recession is no excuse to lower standards or reduce sustainability goals and at the HCA, we are pleased to be working with many of the housebuilders listed on developing some of the most innovative and sustainable homes in the country.”
