The SRS Governance Steering Group is delighted to announce the appointment of Brendan Sarsfield, the CEO of Peabody, as Chair of Sustainability for Housing following a competitive process.
Speaking about his appointment, Brendan Sarsfield said: “No other sector has a set, recognised criteria for communicating ESG performance, so this reporting standard is a huge advantage for housing associations of all sizes to access funding, reduce the cost of borrowing, and boost their positive social and environmental impact for the benefit of residents and communities. Banks, investors, and housing associations have agreed on what is important beyond financial performance, and I’m looking forward to working with the Board to help promote this opportunity to the sector and beyond.”
Details of the other board appointments will follow here soon.
