Our purpose

our purpose

Our purpose as a responsible developer is to work in partnership to deliver sustainable homes, communities and social value, leaving a lasting legacy of places people love.

Our ethos and values

We celebrate our shared values of Integrity, Caring, and Quality (ICQ), and they guide everything we do. With our ethos and values in mind, they steer our decision‑making and encourage better outcomes.

At Vistry, our values are central to how we work and they’re the standard we hold ourselves to every day. These values guide our decisions and influence how we build and deliver high quality houses.

Our ethos, “Do the right thing,” is more than a slogan - it’s how we bring our values to life through clear, consistent actions. It’s about accountability, respect, and making the right choices, for our customers, our colleagues and our partners.
