Shift Energy
Octavia Housing applied to be rated by SHIFT (Sustainable Housing Index for Tomorrow) for the first time in 2011. We are pleased to be recognised as one of the most environmentally-friendly housing associations in the country.
Octavia Housing was awarded Silver in the highly challenging SHIFT Index, a sustainability benchmark for housing associations. The index was developed with the support of WWF-UK, the Tenant Services Authority, Homes and Communities Authority and the UK Green Building Council.
Companies signing up to be assessed by the SHIFT Index, commit themselves to being measured against a challenging set of targets for reduced carbon emissions, designed to mitigate against climate change and a broad range of environmental impacts.
