We’ve got big plans in store over the years to come, which are now taking shape for our next round of investments. With funds raised in 2010, we hope to set up new centres in Edinburgh, Leeds, Brighton and London.
Ethical Property is an international family of organisations with the common aim of making the best use of property for society and the environment.
The company is small, but growing fast. We need people who are multi-skilled and who have a long-term commitment to achieving social change.
We offer a wide range of services to those working for social change, whether you want to invest, move in, hire a meeting room, join in on events we organise in our centres, or make use of our consultancy or IT services.
The Ethical Property Company PLC is a unique initiative in
ethical investment. We buy properties and develop them as centres
that bring charities, social enterprises, community and campaign
groups together under one roof where they can share skills and
ideas.
Groups in our centres benefit from affordable rents, flexible
tenancy terms and office space and facilities designed to meet
their needs. The centres are also managed to minimise energy use,
waste, car travel and harmful materials.
The company’s investors gain the security of a property-based
investment as well as one that achieves lasting social change. The
company has paid an annual dividend every year since 2000 - three
pence per share until 2004 rising to 3.25 pence thereafter.
We aim to develop centres that are focal points for social change.
The company currently owns centres in England, Scotland and Belgium
and we are in the process of developing ways in which we can
encourage ethical investment and set up centres in other parts of
the UK and internationally. In the long-term we aim to build a
network of centres around the world in support of the social change
movement.
