SHIFT

The Sustainable Homes Index For Tomorrow (SHIFT) is the standard by which affordable housing providers prove their environmental performance. The index benchmarks performance in mitigating and adapting to climate change. Assessment focuses on strategy and management, offices, existing stock and new build.

With best practise case studies and national experts, SHIFT members also learn how to reduce their environmental impact.

Sponsors include, WWF-UK, UK Green Building Council, and the Tenant Services Authority.
