Our Community

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are central to the way Havitat operates. By placing ESG at the core of our strategies, Havitat is demonstrating our commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical governance, all of which are essential for building trust and delivering long-term value to our residents and stakeholders

Social Commitment

Havitat strives to ensure that we are positively contributing to the social, community and human wellbeing across our operations and assets, through implementing measures and taking actions that shape both our business and our projects.

Community

At Havitat, our mission is to provide best-in-class residential rental communities and a place our residents can call home. With over 2,000 residents, across 10 locations, we strive to understand their needs, placing our residents at the centre of everything we do.

Building Communities

At Havitat, we create supportive communities and facilitate this by hosting a variety of events and activities. We celebrate diversity and promote inclusion in each of our initiatives.

We are dedicated to ensuring that each of our properties fosters positive change for our residents and the communities we are part of.

Some of the commitments we are making:

Active Lifestyle

We promote a healthy lifestyle and facilitate this in a number of ways. In some of our locations, we offer on-site gyms, cycle storage facilities and spacious gardens for residents to take advantage of and get active.

Our People

Havitat is dedicated to prioritising its people, conducting business with integrity, and considering the long-term impact of its actions. Havitat strives to create a positive environment for employees while ensuring that its practices are sustainable and responsible. We aim to make a meaningful difference, both in the lives of its people and our community.

Environmental Commitment

At Havitat, we believe that sustainable property management is the cornerstone of a thriving community. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond compliance; it’s a core value that drives every decision we make. From energy-efficient building systems to eco-friendly landscaping and waste reduction initiatives, we are dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint while maximising value for our stakeholders and residents. At Havitat, we don’t just manage properties — we cultivate spaces where people and the planet can flourish together.

Sustainable Buildings

Our newest apartments are designed and operated to meet the latest codes and standards. Doing so, ensures we minimise energy demand and heat loss while incorporating renewable energy sources whenever possible.

Water, Waste and Energy

At Havitat, our ESG efforts prioritise responsible energy, waste and water, utilisation. We implemented the use of a water monitoring platform to help identify abnormal water consumption and introduced initiatives to reduce consumption without compromising comfort. We have implemented a zero-waste landfill initiative and energy efficiency is equally vital with 100% of utilised electricity remaining on green energy tariffs. By focusing on sustainable resource use, we create healthier living environments while contributing to a more sustainable future.

Biodiversity

Beyond our apartments, our Sustainability Commitments prioritises biodiversity. Across many of our locations, landscaped areas are designed with native plant species, and a place for nature to flourish providing habitats for wildlife as well as actively reducing air pollution.

Some of the commitments we are making:

71% of our apartments achieved a BER rating of A. We’re committed to improving the BER rating of other apartments

Build on the 60% of our apartments already fitted with EV charging provisions

Continue to ensure diversion of waste from landfill remains at 100%

Monitor the consumption of water across all locations

Conduct renewable energy feasibility surveys at each location

Governance Commitment

At Havitat, strong governance is integral to our ESG strategy, ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical management across our communities. We adhere to strict regulatory standards and implement robust oversight practices to safeguard stakeholder interests. Through regular audits, resident feedback mechanisms, and data-driven decision-making, we foster trust and maintain high operational standards. Our commitment to governance ensures that our properties are managed responsibly, creating value for our residents, investors, and the community alike.

Engagement & Governance Disclosures

Governance and management are key priorities for Havitat. We aim to continuously consult with our key stakeholders and partners to ensure our objectives and targets are appropriate, relevant and ambitious.

Some of the commitments we are making:

Continue to conduct ongoing reviews of internal policies and procedures via Havitat’s ESG committee to ensure governance processes support our commitments.

Continue to engage with leading rating agencies to benchmark and demonstrate our ESG improvements.

Increase our GRESB rating which has improved year on year.
