One Strawberry Lane wins prestigious BCO Award at the Nationals

We are thrilled to announce that One Strawberry Lane in Newcastle,  headquarters of the Home Group, was last night named by the BCO National judging panel as winners of the ESG Award and recognised as an exemplar of how to deliver on all elements of ESG at the highest level, bringing a positive impact both to its building users and the wider community.

While the ground floor is a dedicated community space delivering an array of social value activities for employees, the building also encourages public participation by opening meeting spaces up to voluntary community sector organisations free of charge.

The project also gave back to the community during its construction, with 65% of project spending directed to local enterprises. The judges were equally impressed by the building’s approach to sustainability, which used an innovative carbon monitoring tool during construction to measure and manage carbon emissions throughout the building’s lifecycle.
