WWF has created an extensive Housebuilder Sustainability Toolkit, sponsored by asset manager Insight Investment, to provide clear guidance for housebuilders seeking to address a wide range of sustainability issues.

The toolkit, compiled by Upstream (a strategic sustainability consultancy specialising in the built environment) tackles a variety of concerns including climate change, community involvement, the sustainable use of materials, and waste.

 It is available free of charge at
