Glenveagh Properties plc - Supply Chain Sustainability School Ireland

Glenveagh Properties plc is one of Ireland’s leading homebuilders.

Supported by innovation and supply chain integration, our vision is to deliver sustainable, high-quality, affordable homes in flourishing communities across Ireland. We provide homes for our private, institutional and state customers via three business segments – Suburban, Urban and Partnerships.

Our mission is to innovate how new homes are planned, designed, built and marketed in Ireland, and to make the journey for customers transparent, easy and joyful.

At Glenveagh, we foster a culture of fresh thinking, teamwork and trust to challenge the status quo in our industry. We believe that building homes and communities is a worthy cause and will positively impact Irish society. We want to forge a new path, relentlessly innovating every stage of the homebuilding process.

We are committed to building sustainable homes and believe that sustainable building practices not only benefit the environment but also improve the quality of life for our homeowners. From the selection of materials to the design of our homes, we prioritise sustainability at every stage of the construction process. Our focus on sustainability extends beyond the construction phase, and we work closely with our homeowners to ensure they have the tools and resources needed to reduce their environmental impact and lead a sustainable lifestyle.

Sustainability and Supply Chain

Glenveagh Properties plc recognises the important role suppliers and sub-contractors play in creating a sustainable and responsible supply-chain that delivers value for all parties.

We are committed to establishing strong and mutually beneficial relationships, by fostering open communication, promoting fair and ethical practices, and encouraging collaboration to work with our suppliers and sub-contractors to work towards shared goals.

We recognise that this engagement is crucial to minimise any negative environmental and social impact of the materials, services, and labour within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.

Why we have become a Partner of the School

Glenveagh Properties plc is proud to be a Partner of the Supply Chain Sustainability School. We understand the importance to adequately equip and support our suppliers and sub-contractors in their own sustainability journeys. As we all work towards a sustainable future for the built environment, the Supply Chain Sustainability School enables collaboration and support to successfully achieve this unified goal.

The tools and resources available improve capabilities to deliver sustainability outcomes and assist suppliers and sub-contractors in overcoming challenges with best practice guidance.

Becoming a Partner in of the school is a key element of Glenveagh’s Supplier Engagement Strategy and is an important commitment for our suppliers and sub-contractors.

Integration of Sustainability into our strategic priorities.

Guided by our vision, mission, culture, and values, Glenveagh Properties plc has developed five strategic priorities which are key to the successes of our ‘Building Better Strategy’ in creating long-term sustainable value.

Our five strategic priorities are ‘Placing the customer first’, ‘Valuing and developing our colleagues’, ‘Driving operational excellence’, ‘Embracing innovation’ and ‘Creating sustainable and thriving places’. These strategic priorities are supported by action-oriented pillars, which in turn are underpinned by projects. Each individual project and pillar have been designed with clear links to our broader Environmental, Social and Governance initiatives. This ensures that ensuring sustainability is a driver of, not an attachment to, our strategy.

“We know how critical it is to engage with our suppliers to bring them on the sustainability journey with us and the Supply Chain Sustainability School plays a major role in facilitating this by providing tools and resources to support our suppliers in delivering sustainable solutions into the future. For this reason, Glenveagh is proud to be a Founding Partner of the Supply Chain Sustainability School.”
