Online resources: Summary: NextGeneration is a partnership between WWF-UK, Insight Investment and the Housing Corporation which seeks to promote best practice for sustainability within the housing sector. The report ranks the UK's top 20 housebuilders in terms of their performance on sustainability issues, with the Berkeley Group, Taylor Woodrow and George Wimpey emerging as front-runners in terms of their performance on sustainability. The report suggests, however, that although home builders recognise the importance of sustainability, more needs to be done if the industry is to meet government targets of making all new homes zero carbon by 2016.
