about us

ISIS is a waterside regeneration company formed in October 2002 by British Waterways with igloo (the regeneration fund of Morley Fund Management) and AMEC Developments (now MUSE Developments).

Named after the Egyptian goddess of rebirth and rejuvenation, ISIS was created on a sound commercial business model, however, crucially, one that is based on ethical principles. Indeed, ISIS adopt the same policies as igloo, who have been described by the United Nations as the world's first socially responsible property fund and the only substantial socially responsible real estate investment vehicle in the UK.

In addition ISIS is one of the very few companies to submit to independent audit. This is carried out by URBED under the guidance of a Socially Responsible Investment Committee chaired by Sir Jonathan Porritt and including Professor Anne Power (LSE), George Ferguson and Paul King (Chief Executive of the UK Green Building Council), ensuring that we continue to push ourselves and our partners towards more effective sustainability policy and implementation.

ISIS is playing an important role in the delivery of the Government's vision of an urban renaissance, building on the charm of our inland waterways. ISIS was created to deliver mixed, balanced and diverse genuinely sustainable communities.

ISIS offers a real choice of housing, business and leisure amenities around land and water, within high quality innovative developments.

ISIS is supporting regeneration in towns and cities across the UK with total scheme values of circa £10billion.

50% of ISIS profits are invested in Britain's waterways.
