Our Services

SHIFT’s unique sustainability audit system
If you’re unsure of your building stock’s current green credentials, SHIFT’s unique and independent sustainability audit system provides an accurate way of assessing sustainability standards. It’s applicable to a whole host of different types of building assets plus we developed the recognised sustainability standard for the social housing sector.
Audits across 21 criteria
We audit environmental impacts across 21 criteria to create a complete, easy-to-understand report of the changes needed to turn existing buildings into future-proofed assets which meet sustainability compliance.


Boost sustainability credentials
SHIFT’s accreditation for social landlords is known to potential investors, funding bodies, business partners, and tenants as a reliable indication of a company or organisation’s sustainability credentials. Such an indication greatly increases the success of securing financial investment, funding and partnerships.
Demonstrating social responsibility this way can also increase staff and tenant loyalty, and be a magnet for job-seekers, especially Millennials and Gen Z, looking to work for a socially responsible employer.
