Muse and sustainability

Muse Developments regards Sustainability and corporate social responsibility as central tenets of successful regeneration. Our approach to development embraces the social, economic and environmental issues which are at the heart of sustainability, so that development which meets the needs of the present doesn’t compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We assess our projects against criteria which are grouped under the headings ‘Social Equity (People)', 'Environmental Quality (Planet)’ and ‘Economic Prosperity (Profit)’.

One of the most important issues for a regeneration plan is the preservation and enhancement of a site’s natural and built resources, as well as the adoption of a design approach that encourages sustainable practices. This can involve passive design measures (such as using solar orientation, shading and natural ventilation to reduce the energy requirements of buildings), active design measures (such as the use of solar cell technology or wind power generation) and/ or social and behavioural measures (such as sustainable transport, recycling regimes and energy conservation).

• We believe that the integration of appropriate community amenities within mixed-use development delivers vibrant destinations for local people.
• We support local clubs, societies and charities, and are actively involved with local organisations representing the people and businesses that use our developments.
• We are committed to minimising the impact of our business processes on the natural environment and the communities amongst which we work.
