Accent Group reports progress in affordable housing ESG efforts

BRADFORD, UK - Accent Group Limited, a national affordable housing provider, published its third Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report on Tuesday, highlighting progress in sustainability and affordability initiatives during 2024/25.

The report shows that over 85% of Accent’s homes now have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C or above, with 72% of newly built homes achieving the highest EPC A standard. The organization has secured £3.6 million through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund to improve energy efficiency between 2025 and 2028.

According to the report, Accent’s rents remained 38.3% lower on average than private sector alternatives. The housing provider delivered 458 new affordable homes during the period and provided targeted support that helped customers secure £43,000 in backdated benefits, over £200,000 in income gains, and £42,000 in debt reduction.

The company maintained its G1/V1 regulatory ratings and reduced its gender pay gap to 8.9%. Accent also launched a new Leadership Academy program as part of its employee development initiatives.

Nick Apetroaie, Chief Executive of Accent Group, said in the press release that ESG principles are integrated throughout the organization’s operations, "shaping the homes we provide, the support we deliver, and the way we run our organisation."

Accent Group Limited serves as the ultimate holding company for Accent Capital PLC. The full ESG report is available on the company’s website.
