Social and Community Impact
Our Vision and Mission
At Obsidian, we acknowledge the impact developers can have on both the environment and society. We work with local communities, industry group and government bodies to deliver planning consents that contribute positively to place making and future sustainable communities.
Our commitment is to protect and support communities, environment, and heritage through proactive policies and an inclusive approach. Here’s how we embody this commitment:
Community and Inclusion
Our approach to land promotion focuses on creating well-designed and complementary communities. We undertake effective and meaningful engagement with stakeholders through the life of the project, address concerns, and enhance local communities by providing essential amenities, including high-quality play areas, GP surgeries and schools alongside attractive and accessible public open space.
We are committed to including affordable housing in every development, making our communities accessible to all demographics and fostering inclusivity.
Strong Governance and Accountability
Internally, we strive to create an open, inclusive, and professional work environment based on trust and transparency. The health, safety, and wellness of our team are paramount, and we support their personal and professional development to contribute to their success and the overall success of Obsidian.
We support charitable organisations continually striving to raise funds and make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
Obsidian operates under a robust governance framework, ensuring accountability, transparency, and integrity in all our activities. Our governance procedures include:
- Regular Board Meetings: Ensuring consistent oversight.
- Financial Oversight: Budgetary and remuneration oversight by our parent company’s Board, Capital Committee, and Credit Committee.
- Comprehensive Policies: Robust governance and employee handbooks, strong internal control processes, and accurate and transparent accounting.
