What is it?
The NextGeneration Benchmark is the annual sustainability benchmark for the UK’s
largest homebuilders. In addition, any smaller UK homebuilders that feature outside
the top 25 but are ambitious and more advanced on their sustainability journey are
welcome to join the NextGeneration Benchmark as members. It is made up of over 60
criteria, across 15 sections, covering the full ESG spectrum. These criteria require
companies to go beyond regulation and achieve industry best practice.
