Better by Muse is our combined social impact, sustainability and placemaking strategy

It's a challenge to ourselves

We’ve created guidelines to ensure that what we are doing together is resulting in better outcomes for the people who work in, visit and inhabit the places we create.

Through our partnership approach, and genuine engagement, we know we can enable positive change that is truly transformational, creating resilient and sustainable neighbourhoods that thrive.

 

Case Studies

Measuring social value

We are trying to better understand and evidence our impact by using social value measurement tools. This includes Social Value Bank, developed with our parent company Morgan Sindall in collaboration with Simetrica, the recognised global leaders in social value measurement.

Why we measure

These tools can help us forecast, track and calculate the economic, environmental, and social value created from our regeneration activity, in line with best practice valuation methodology.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of our approach, whether through innovative and greener construction, optimising use of local supply chains and reducing transport emissions, or through maximising biodiversity.

We build low-carbon neighbourhoods from the ground up by working with our partners and the community to understand their needs and generate appropriate solutions.

Sustainability

Placemaking

We create great places for life to be lived, with plenty of opportunities to live, work, shop and relax locally – authentic urban neighbourhoods that we’re proud to be a part of, and that communities can call home.

Placemaking

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We’re working to build a more diverse, inclusive team that reflects the communities where we live and work. Find out more on our Working at Muse page.
