Strategy

Housing as a force for good

Ambition
With ‘Housing as a force for good’ as its guiding principle, Vesteda wants to use its 28,000 homes as a way to bring about positive change in society. Driven by the desire to contribute and do something good for the world, we want to help create a housing market that puts affordability, sustainability, accessibility and solidarity front and centre. We see a future in which affordable housing helps make our tenants’ lives both better and healthier. 

Vesteda wants its homes to make an active contribution to solving some of the current challenges faced by society. We want to achieve this by acquiring and letting sustainable homes in liveable neighbourhoods and by fostering a sense of community to improve the well-being of our tenants. We do our best to minimise our impact on the environment by making sustainable choices in acquisitions, renovation projects and projects to make our homes more sustainable, as well as in the management and maintenance of our homes. 

At the same time, we generate healthy financial returns for our participants. Our explicit goal is to achieve a healthy balance between social and financial returns. This enables Vesteda to create value for everyone who is involved in our organisation: from our tenants to our investors and from our employees to the partners we work with on a daily basis. 

Armed with this ambition, we want to play a pioneering role in the sector and inspire others to also use their business operations as a force for good. 

Strategy
Our strategy for the coming years is aimed at realising our ambition to help more people find appropriate housing. We will do this by continuing to improve our services through the smart use of technology and data, without ever losing sight of the human touch. We also want to offer people room for growth, by promoting mobility and offering more people access to appropriate housing. And we want to strengthen Vesteda by working closely with our current partners and by forging new innovative partnerships. Finally, we will do our best to increase our tenants’ engagement with their living environment, which will in turn help improve the quality of life and community spirit in our complexes and neighbourhoods. 

These strategic choices will help us to achieve our ambition to realise ‘Housing as a force for good’ and help us to make a positive contribution to society. We are setting a new standard and leading the movement to make Vesteda a force for good, creating value for all our stakeholders.
