UK: Native Communities has become the first third-party BTR/multifamily operator to achieve B Corp certification.
As a B Corp in the real estate sector, Native is the first third-party BTR/Multifamily operator to be counted among 151 real estate companies worldwide that are currently part of an international movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
This milestone follows a rigorous two-year process to embed ESG commitments across every part of the business, from governance and supply chains to employee wellbeing and environmental performance. Independent assessment has recognised tangible progress and direct impact across Native’s operations including:
- 100 per cent renewable electricity for landlord areas across all Native-operated sites
- Implementing M&E audits across all sites to optimise performance and environmental efficiencies
- AI-driven consumption monitoring at Alma, cutting carbon output and costs
- 96 per cent of Native’s supply chain now holds an environmental accreditation
Guy Nixon, CEO of Native Communities, said: “B Corp certification validates our commitment to putting ESG at the heart of how we operate. It recognises the progress we’ve already made, while embedding practices that will make our communities more sustainable and better places to live and work. Most importantly, it ensures that our clients, our people, and our residents all benefit from the way we run and grow our business.”
In 2025, Native will have successfully launched or onboarded 12 new assets, adding 2,463 residential units and 25,000 square feet of commercial space.
This expansion reflects Native’s growing role in operating diverse communities across the UK, extending into new cities including Edinburgh, Leicester, Salford, Bath and Nottingham.
Alongside Native’s continued growth, the business has strengthened and developed its talent, with 61 internal moves and promotions across the organisation.
