The awards, which formed part of the annual Housing exhibition in Manchester on 27 June, celebrate organisations that have successfully engaged residents and tenants in the climate change debate and implemented effective carbon reduction activities.
Stonewater's success demonstrates its ongoing commitment to delivering good quality, affordable homes while actively working towards achieving a low-carbon future.
The winning campaign, launched in 2021, focused on raising awareness of energy efficiency and reducing fuel bills. Through online resources, virtual events, and the Customer Energy Hub, Stonewater actively engaged customers in the conversation on energy consumption and the environment.
Since its launch in October 2021, the Customer Energy Hub has attracted 3,800 unique visitors, while the accompanying social media content reached approximately 14,054 customers. The campaign resulted in an estimated CO2 savings of 1,289.1 tonnes in 2021.
Nicholas Harris, Chief Executive at Stonewater, said: "We are honoured to receive the Unlock Net Zero Engagement Campaign of the Year Award. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to engaging our customers in sustainable practices and providing them with the tools and resources needed to reduce their carbon footprint.
"The team that curated and worked on this campaign are hugely passionate about supporting our customers and protecting the environment as much as possible, and we are proud to play our part in the journey towards a net zero future."
