Sustainability and ESG Strategy

Our values

We promise that our real estate assets will be:

Fit for Purpose

Every development is meticulously designed to meet the specific needs of its users and the industries it serves.

Enhancing User Experience

Our spaces are created to improve the well-being, productivity, and overall experience of those who work and collaborate within them.

Creating a Lasting Legacy

We are committed to delivering sustainable, resilient buildings that stand the test of time and contribute to the long-term vitality of their communities.

Empowering Future Generations

Creating spaces that inspire, educate, and provide opportunities for the next generation to thrive

Gen Two – Youth Engagement Programme

As part of the Alchemy Campus planning process, Gen Two and its design team partnered with the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Youth Engagement Service (YES) to run a 2-day youth engagement programme for Fowlmere Primary School.

30 Year 5 & 6 children participated in the ‘Have Your Say’ project, which allowed them to contribute to the design of street furniture, public art, bird boxes, and bug hotels for the community pocket park.

We also hosted a Careers Talk to inspire students to pursue careers in the built environment, life science, and property development sectors.

An Award Ceremony celebrated the children’s achievements and promoted inter-generational learning by inviting other year groups and parents. The project enhanced the development’s proposals, with the street furniture to be incorporated into the completed site. Two pieces designed by the students will be gifted to Fowlmere Primary School.
