Driving decarbonisation: Launching our three-year strategic plan for 2025–2028

April 2025 – This month, we published our Three-Year Strategic Plan (2025–2028), setting out our vital mission to decarbonise the UK public and social housing sectors to combat climate change.

We see the world around us shifting rapidly – from the climate crisis to government funding constraints and prioritisation. With the current Spending Review underway and budgets yet to be finalised, we are delivering our plan from day 1 and ready to adapt through the year.  Our plan allows us to remain focused, flexible and effective in delivering impact where it’s needed most.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve provided over £4.7 billion in funding for more than 20,000 energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects in public buildings – helping cut carbon emissions by around 1.2 million tonnes of eCO2 each year and saving the public sector approximately £300 million annually in energy costs.

Since 2023, we have also supported energy efficiency upgrades to 14,500 homes through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, and to more than 5,900 homes through the Home Upgrade Grant.

With 2024 marking the first year to exceed the 1.5°C global warming threshold, the need for urgent action is clear.  From severe winter floods in Leicestershire to wildfires in California, we see the impacts of climate change in real time. This reinforces our purpose – and the importance of what we do every day.

We’re committed to strengthening our delivery, growing our expertise and building the agility to respond to what’s next.  In preparation for the next stage of governments' direction, our focus remains clear: to deliver our purpose, support government priorities, and drive forward the UK’s decarbonisation efforts.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved – and we’re ready for what’s next.
