Sustainability at Hillcrest
Hillcrest is committed to supporting Scotland’s transition to a low-carbon future.
As a major provider of social housing and care services, we recognise that the homes we build, the services we deliver, and the way we operate all contribute to our carbon footprint.
We are upgrading older housing to meet new energy standards, designing new homes with a ‘Fabric First’ approach, and exploring low-carbon heating alternatives.
Scotland is already experiencing the effects of climate change, from extreme weather to biodiversity loss.
Hillcrest’s Net Zero and Climate Change Strategy will support national goals for emissions reduction, nature restoration, and sustainable transport, and is guided by the principle of a Just Transition, ensuring the shift to net zero is fair and inclusive for everyone.
