A sustainable and responsible housing company takes economic, social and environmental responsibility
When talking about sustainable development, it means the effort to continuously improve the conditions of society so that future generations will also have good and safe living conditions.
Sustainable development is divided into three categories; economic sustainability, environmental sustainability and social sustainability.
In a housing association, these are taken into account in housekeeping, comfort and energy use.
The less waste, energy and water consumed, the more resources and owners' money saved.
Economic sustainability
A responsible housing company builds its finances in a sustainable way so that its assets, liabilities and future investments are in balance and it is prepared for surprises and anticipates future changes.
