At urbanest, sustainability is more than just a goal—it’s something we live and breathe every day. While we are committed to building and operating our properties to the highest environmental standards, we also believe that small everyday actions can make a big impact. That’s why we provide our residents with the tools, opportunities, and information to make sustainable choices while living with us.

Making Sustainable Living Easy

We know that living more sustainably should be simple and accessible. That’s why we have introduced:

• Extensive recycling facilities in every building, making it easy for residents to sort and dispose of waste responsibly.
• Water stations throughout our properties, reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles.
• Clothes exchange events, encouraging residents to donate, swap, and repurpose clothing instead of throwing it away.
• Check-out waste reduction schemes, providing donation points for unwanted items at the end of the academic year.
• Bike storage in our buildings to provide residents with a sustainable method of transport.

Keeping Our Community Informed

We believe that awareness is key to action. To help residents make informed choices, we provide regular sustainability updates through email, with tips on reducing energy and water use, and digital noticeboards in our buildings highlighting recycling guidance and green initiatives.

A Shared Commitment to a Greener Future

Sustainability is a shared responsibility. While our Passivhaus-certified buildings, BREEAM Outstanding targets, and 100% renewable electricity create a strong foundation, we know that the choices we all make every day matter.

By recycling, reducing waste, using water and energy mindfully, and embracing greener ways to travel, our residents play an essential role in helping urbanest create a more sustainable future for London and beyond.

Together, we can make a difference.
