Peabody aims to be net zero carbon in its new and existing homes by 2050 and
in its day-to-day business activities by 2030.  Its approach to
sustainability and ESG performance is accredited by RITTERWALD through its
Certified Sustainable Housing Label, providing robust quality assurance in
line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and environmental, social and
governance metrics.

Eamonn Hughes, Chief Financial Officer of Peabody, said: "We know we have some
way to go to improve our services to residents and are making progress through
investment and a more locally focused approach. Sustainable, long-term
finances will support this and help us increase the positive impact we're able
to make in people's lives.  The report sets out how we're helping to deliver
new social homes to tackle homelessness, improve existing homes, invest in the
natural environment and support a range of projects that add value in
communities, such as children's activities, sports programmes, health and
wellbeing sessions and employment support services. Our partnerships and
supply chain continue to deliver for residents and communities and we'll
continue to work with partners who share our values and aspiration to help
people flourish."
