Core Strategy

Decarbonised Infrastructure

Solar deployment, green bond refinancing, and net zero pathways integrated with our Sanufa and Klarbon platforms.

Overview

Decarbonisation as a Return Driver

The built environment accounts for approximately 30% of UK carbon emissions. Regulatory pressure, tenant demand, and capital markets are all pricing carbon risk into asset valuations. We treat decarbonisation not as a compliance obligation but as a structured return driver: every tonne of carbon removed improves asset value, reduces financing costs, and generates tradeable credits.

Our approach integrates physical asset improvement with digital measurement and monetisation. The retrofit programme improves thermal performance. Solar PV generates clean energy. Sanufa and Klarbon capture the financial value of these improvements at portfolio scale.

Pathways

Four Decarbonisation Pathways

Solar PV Deployment

Rooftop solar installation across the residential portfolio. Each system reduces tenant energy costs, generates export income, and contributes to portfolio-level carbon reduction targets.

Green Bond Refinancing

As portfolio EPC ratings improve and carbon metrics are verified, we access green bond markets for refinancing at tighter spreads. The environmental improvement directly reduces cost of capital.

Net Zero Carbon Targets

Portfolio-wide net zero operational carbon by 2035. Embodied carbon measurement and reduction through retrofit material selection and supply chain engagement.

Platform Integration

Sanufa aggregates distributed energy assets into a virtual power plant. Klarbon measures, reports, and facilitates trading of carbon credits generated through the retrofit programme.

Technology

Platform-Enabled Decarbonisation

Sanufa — Virtual Power Plant

Sanufa aggregates distributed solar PV, battery storage, and smart heating systems across the portfolio into a single virtual power plant. This enables grid services revenue, demand-side response participation, and optimised self-consumption across thousands of homes.

Klarbon — Carbon Accounting

Klarbon provides portfolio-level carbon measurement, reporting, and credit generation. It tracks operational and embodied carbon, produces investor-grade ESG reports, and facilitates carbon credit trading on voluntary markets aligned with Verra standards.

Capital Markets

Green Bond Refinancing

As portfolio-level EPC and carbon metrics improve, we pursue green bond issuance to refinance at lower spreads. The environmental improvement is independently verified, creating a direct link between sustainability performance and reduced cost of capital. This feedback loop incentivises continued investment in decarbonisation.
