THFC has been issuing bonds with a social purpose since it was founded over thirty years ago. In recognition of emerging ESG-related market conventions, THFC launched its Sustainable Bond Framework in 2021 to allow for the issuing of Social and Sustainability bonds. This framework supercedes THFC's previously published Social Bond Framework. Vigeo Eiris provided the Second Party Opinion for both frameworks, rating THFC's contribution to sustainability with its highest 'Advanced' category. The reporting obligations set out in the Sustainable Bond Framework are aligned with the social housing sector's Sustainability Reporting Standard (SRS), of which THFC is an adopter.
