An expert partner helping to improve performance, every step of the way
Native Residential’s leadership team took part in an ESG ambition workshop with Seismic in November 2022. During this workshop, Seismic helped Native Residential to identify both their long-term vision for the business’s social and environmental impact and the key internal and external stakeholders impacted by the organization.
Guided by Seismic, Native Residential has completed a Materiality Assessment to engage the voices of employees and asset owners through surveys and interviews. The outcome was the identification of which ESG risks and opportunities were most relevant for the business.
“Our partnership with Seismic spans so many different areas of our needs, and their services suit us perfectly – they are helping to meet all of our evolving ESG requirements.”

From vision-setting to carbon reduction, Native Residential are making huge strides
The business is using the B Corp framework to establish its baseline ESG performance. From there it’s implementing a plan to improve its impact, and keep working towards its goal of certifying as a B Corp. The ESG strategy will be informed by internal and external stakeholders’ views on which ESG issues are most material to Native Residential.
As part of its journey, the business is also in the process of completing a full Scope 1-3 carbon footprint in line with the GHG protocol, to understand the current impact and inform a reduction pathway to reduce its carbon impact moving forward.
“Thanks to Seismic’s expertise, it’s fair to say that going through this process has already made large changes to the way we seek and approve contractors.”
