Read our 2024/25 Sustainability Report | Latest news

We have published our latest Sustainability Report, providing an overview of our progress toward environmental and social goals for 2024/25.

By aligning with the Sustainability Reporting Standard for Social Housing (SRS), the document serves as a full record of our efforts to enhance tenant wellbeing and environmental performance across Scotland.

Andy Jack, Sustainability Manager at Link Group, said: “This report is about more than just numbers; it is a demonstration of our commitment to being open about our progress and the work still ahead of us.

“We view sustainability as an ongoing journey, where incremental improvements contribute to the long-term resilience of our communities. 

“In this report, we demonstrate how sustainability impacts every part of Link Group and recognise that the progress we are making is the result of the combined efforts of colleagues, partners, and stakeholders.”

This year’s report highlights several key areas where this work is delivering tangible benefits for communities:

• Improving energy standards: We have continued to prioritise the energy efficiency of our homes, with 84.5% of our housing stock now achieving an EPC rating of Band C or above.
• Direct financial support: The Link Advice Team successfully delivered over £2 million in financial gains for our tenants, providing essential support by signposting and unlocking benefits and grants.
• Accessible housing: To ensure homes remain fit for purpose as tenants' accessibility needs change, 454 adaptations were completed across our properties.
• Community investment: Link’s Community Benefit initiatives supported the creation of 128 jobs and work placements, strengthening local economies and opening new career paths.
