Sustainability is one of our core values at Sanctuary. Our culture involves working together as one team to support our social purpose and putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.
As we grow and expand our services, we want our customers to help shape our decision making so that we can make a long-term positive impact to even more people in society.

SUSTAINABILITY
Our latest Sustainability Report
Over the past year we have made significant progress across all three areas of our strategic approach to sustainability. Read our latest Sustainability Report to see how we are striving to be the best organisation we can for our communities, customers and colleagues.
Our approach
We’re interested in the links between three aspects of sustainability - environment, social and governance - and we believe those three things go hand-in-hand.
Our environmental projects are led by our social purpose and, behind the scenes, our governance processes must be up to scratch. To us, all three elements of sustainability are just as important as each other.
Key targets
Halve operational carbon emissions by 2030
Net zero by 2050
For every pound that is invested, we will aim to attract at least £1 of match funding
