We are committed to creating and empowering our clients to build sustainable, long-lasting communities that will define the future of the UK property industry.
Our growth across the UK over the last 20 years has been driven by a commitment to people, purpose, and the planet. We believe that ESG isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s embedded in everything we do to drive real change.
By making clear, accountable commitments, we create lasting impact for our business, the communities we serve and the wider economy. For us, responsible business isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s the foundation of a better future.

Recognised on a global scale, the B Corp certification is bestowed upon businesses dedicated to serving as a positive force, meeting stringent criteria for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Achieving B Corp status signifies that a business adheres to high standards in verified performance, accountability, and transparency, covering aspects ranging from employee benefits and philanthropy to supply chain practices and input materials.
With over 6,800 accredited B Corp companies worldwide spanning 161 industries across 89 countries and involving more than 550,000 workers, each company pledges to make a positive impact on all stakeholders, including workers, communities, customers, and the environment.
Having completed our initial business impact assessment, we have submitted our B Corp application, outlining our intentions to expand our social and governance strategies across the group
Centrick’s approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) isn’t just about meeting standards, it’s about making a real and lasting impact on the communities we serve. We believe that integrating robust ESG principles into our operations drives meaningful change, creating both social and economic benefits.
Sustainability has consistently been a focal point for the business across all levels. To strengthen our approach, we’ve undertaken a full review of our ESG strategy, assessing where we stand and where we can do more. Our focus includes expanding our ESG initiatives, developing an ESG-conscious strategy for Build to Rent (BTR) developments, reducing our carbon footprint, and empowering our teams to drive change through a dedicated ESG taskforce.
For us, ESG isn’t a tick-box exercise, it’s about setting higher standards, taking action, and creating lasting value for our clients, our people, and the wider community.
While the UK’s national net zero target is set for 2050, many in the property sector are striving for carbon neutrality by 2035. Like us, a growing number of developers and investors are prioritising ESG, seeking clear, transparent pathways to sustainability and greater social responsibility.
Pursuing B Corp accreditation isn’t about reaching a final destination, it’s about continuously improving and holding ourselves accountable. It reflects our ESG journey, providing a framework to measure our progress, and drive meaningful, long-term change.
