Strategy
2019-2024
At Sovereign we provide safe and affordable homes for people. But we want to do more.
We want to have more impact, to be more innovative and influential, and bring out the best in our people so we deliver a great customer and employee experience today and tomorrow.
Highlights
Strong foundations
At Sovereign, we’re building better homes and better places for people that need them most. Our customers come first, always – and a strong financial surplus is the fundamental building block on which we build our ambitious plans for the future.
A leading landlord
We want to provide great customer service, responding positively to our customers’ ever-changing expectations. We want our residents to be proud to call a Sovereign home their own. We know our work doesn’t stop at the front door. We offer a range of services, investing in communities, to help people be the best they can be.
More homes, better places
As a financially and organisationally strong business, we’re committed to providing as many affordable new homes as we can, with plans to invest £2bn over the next five years. We’ll make sure that we provide the homes that people need, of the best possible quality, within successful places and communities.
Quality homes and neighbourhoods
Looking after almost 60,000 homes is a big job, but we know that the quality of a home can affect every aspect of a person’s life. We’ve been changing how we work, thinking differently and increasing investment, so our residents can be even prouder of where they live.
Maximising our impact
We’re here if residents want a little extra support, whether that’s to sustain their tenancies or to work towards realising their potential, by signposting relevant agencies, working with external partners and making sure that we share helpful information.
Investing in our communities
At Sovereign, we’ve always recognised that fantastic local networks exist in our communities. We know we don’t need to march in and save the day – the superheroes are already out there, and we want to work with them.
Inspiring people
We’re investing and bringing out the best in our people by building an environment where employees are engaged, valued and passionate about what they do, developing our leaders, employees and apprentices so they can contribute more and advance their careers.
