Verification statement continued In financial period 2016/17 the company launched its sustainability strategy Building a Living Legacy. This was developed following a materiality assessment undertaken in 2016 which has been updated and reviewed during 2019/20. The published report has been structured to reflect the overarching journey to achieve the company’s vision to progress to 2030. Telford Homes measures progress against its core set of objectives and targets and has again achieved strong performance in key metrics relating to employees and health and safety as well as good progress against environmental metrics. The progress against its peer group has been further endorsed by the external recognition from the NextGeneration Initiative with Telford Homes being ranked as the UK’s most sustainable housebuilder. The 2020 result marks the rise in Telford Homes’ ranking in the annual report of 16 places in the past four years. Based on the agreed scope of work and the approach outlined above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us not to believe that, in all material respects, the Telford Homes Sustainability Report 2021 provides a credible and fair representation of the organisation’s overall sustainability performance and reporting of: Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions Intensity metric – tCO2e per FTE Site CO2 intensity metric – tCO2/100m2 Site waste intensity metric – t/100m2 Site water intensity metric m3/100m2 Limited Verification Opinion
