Different makes the difference
We believe that bringing together different ideas, voices and perspectives is the greatest agent for positive change. Here East People and Here East Planet reaffirm our core commitments to community and sustainability, with innovation as the driving force.
Different to the core
Developing innovative solutions to critical societal and environmental challenges has been central to the Here East mission since our inception. To do this, we foster collaboration and connect diverse perspectives. We challenge the status quo, take risks and pursue fresh thinking. And we're transparent and inclusive in our progress and efforts.

Here East People
We may run on renewable energy, but it's people who power us. Here East People is our ongoing commitment to community, set up to make a positive impact – here, in the local area and beyond – and championing difference in all forms.
Here East Planet
Positive change demands an inherently sustainable approach. For us, that means continually improving campus sustainability – from energy and waste management through to bio-diversity – and working with leading innovators to develop solutions to the climate crisis.
