“Our SHIFT assessor Rob has helped us identify ways to report our environmental performance with greater accuracy moving forward. We also appreciated our bespoke, helpful recommendations.’’

John Kyffin-Hughes - Sustainability Manager, Citizen Housing - January 2025

‘‘Completing our first SHIFT report has been a vital step towards developing our sustainability strategy. This comprehensive evaluation has provided our teams at Trivallis with a clear understanding of our baseline performance, allowing us to establish tangible starting points and set meaningful targets aligned with the housing sector. It’s an exciting foundation that equips us to drive forward impactful sustainability initiatives with confidence and precision.”

Linda Jeynes - Regeneration & Development Co-ordinator, Trivallis - January 2025

“SHIFT provided invaluable support this year during our environmental audit. Tom guided us through the data collection process and offered practical advice to streamline this for the future. This approach was clear, supportive and tailored to our needs and has set us up for success in monitoring and managing our environmental impacts.”

Hayley Aldridge - Planned Works Administrator, Settle - January 2025

“Tom was very approachable and made the SHIFT process straightforward and manageable. His excellent level of knowledge and keen eye for detail proved really useful and meant that we felt well supported in collecting the relevant data. This included advice on identifying key areas, for example by providing a breakdown of the energy consumption by communal heating systems. This approach offered a helpful external insight into Broadacres sustainability work.”

Helen Ball - Senior Sustainability Manager, Broadacres Housing Association -                                                                                                                               January 2025

‘‘The analysis carried out by SHIFT provided insight into the benefits of different measures, such as secondary heating removal, as we make energy efficiency improvements to our homes.’’

Steven Cook - Head of Asset Sustainability, Gentoo - January 2025

“Our first SHIFT assessment has given mhs a strong baseline of our current environmental performance, highlighting both data gaps and areas for improvement. It provides clear direction on where to focus our sustainability efforts and how to enhance data collection. The structured approach offers a roadmap for ongoing progress, and we look forward to reporting with SHIFT to help us meet our commitments."

Jade Wilson - Sustainability Manager, mhs - February 2025

“Working with SHIFT on our environmental assessments has been really beneficial. This being our second year, the data collection part of the process was much smoother thanks to the groundwork laid previously, making it easier to track our progress and see where we're improving. The support and guidance from the team have been invaluable, and we’re looking forward to building on this in the future and into year 3 of the accreditation."

Huw Thomas - Director of Operations, First Choice Housing Association - March 2025

“We’re delighted with the outcome of our first SHIFT report. Our assessor Steve did a great job explaining the process and helping us collect the required data. The report is no doubt going to help us on our journey to achieve our sustainability goals."

Jacqui Saw - Head of Asset Strategy, Great Places Housing Group and                  Sarah Clenshaw - Net Zero Carbon Lead, Great Places Housing Group - April 2025

“Just wanted to reach out personally to say a massive thank you for working with us on this ESOS project. We really appreciate your approach and efficiency in which this was all carried out. Once again, a big thank you from both myself and Yasmin!”

Laura Treharne - Head of Supply Chain, JKS Restaurants - May 2025

“SHIFT provided a great service for our carbon savings report at The Market Place, our community pantry. Our assessor, Steve, made the data collection process straightforward and produced the report in a timely manner. It’s great to know that we’re hitting our carbon savings targets, while saving our customers money on their shopping! Thank you.”

James Fay - Environmental Officer, South Liverpool Homes - May 2025

“This year’s SHIFT report has given us the information we need to raise our environmental performance to a high standard in the sector. We have enjoyed working with our assessor, Asher, and look forward to working with SHIFT again on our next assessment.”

Mat Allen - Building and Compliance Information Manager, B3Living - May 2025

“The findings of this report clearly highlight the environmental benefits of restoring a building compared with a new structure. This is yet another reason to have restored the historically important Neptune Mill into a thriving workspace and social hub.”

 Tom Wilmot – Managing Director, Capital&Centric - July 2025

‘‘We really appreciate the work SHIFT and our assessor, Annie, carry out each year to complete the SHIFT assessment within our required timelines. We are very excited to have achieved Gold, which showcases the hard work our teams have put into improving our data and environmental performance over the last few years.’’

Kari Best - Strategic Planning & Insight Manager, Karbon Homes - July 2025
