About us | Ethical Property

What makes Ethical Property different?

Well, the clue is in our name. Unlike a lot of property companies, at Ethical Property we are committed to our network of Centres meeting a range of ethically and ecologically minded values. Our workspaces are powered by purpose, and we are the first choice of landlord for many impact-driven organisations and businesses.

We have an expanding network of buildings up and down the UK that operate as office, meeting, event and retail spaces. Our Centres have a range of energy-saving features, meet high accessibility standards, and are each situated with close access to green and open spaces. Every Ethical Property centre is powered by renewable energy, that we can control, and we are continually reviewing our net zero strategy to make sure that we stay in line with our own environmental mission.

We report on our environmental impact per centre, per m2, every year, meaning that those letting a space with us have access to fully transparent and accurate figures for their own environmental reporting. We know how important this can be to meet requirements from funders, and it is part of our mission to facilitate this for our tenants at Ethical Property.

At Ethical Property we focus on nurturing a community ethos in our tenants, based on mutual transparency, and dedication to operating businesses that promote positive social change and sustainability. It would be all too easy for us to say yes to prospective clients based only by their financial credentials; but we want to partner with organisations who are equally as passionate about creating space for sustainability and social change as we are. We believe that where change happens together, a real impact is made, and is why we operate to a triple bottom line.

In the course of our history, we have developed a firm set of ethical Quintessentials in our investment, client, management, governance and reporting practises. Equity, fairness, sustainability, social responsibility, collaboration, partnerships and learning, form our core business values.

We offer fair prices and flexible leases to build loyal, positive relationships with our tenants. Supporting and networking with our communities is a priority, to ensure there is a platform for local voices to be amplified and empowered. Collaboration between businesses and individuals is encouraged under our rooves, fostering an environment for innovation and creative thinking.

In short, we love working with a wide range of individuals and organisations that are community-focused and making positive social and environmental change in the world. Our centres are a place for people-powered change. Our tenants range from inspirational entrepreneurs, campaigners and independent businesses, to charitable organisations, not-for-profits and social enterprises; who are committed to making a positive impact.
