Our Impact

Our 2022 impact report deep dives into the ways our places and activities are making a difference across the UK. From our economic contributions to the social and sustainable value we deliver, we recognise that the consequences of the actions we take as an organisation are both far-reaching and long-lasting.

At Landsec, we believe our role is to create value. For our business, our shareholders, customers, colleagues, partners and local communities. Our purpose sits at the heart of everything we do: sustainable places, connecting communities, realising potential. 

This purpose is brought to life through the places we own and the communities they are part of. To help to quantify our contribution, we’ve assessed the full impact our places and activities have across the UK, be that through creating jobs and spending, supporting public resources and building sustainable communities. Understanding our impact helps us identify where we’re already adding value, but more importantly it highlights areas where we can have an even greater impact.

Social Value

At Landsec we believe that through a focus on improving social mobility and the opportunities for people of all backgrounds to build fulfilling careers in real estate will unlock further economic growth for the places where we invest and the UK more widely.

That’s why this year we launched Landsec Futures, a £20m fund that aims to deliver around £200m of social value by 2030, supporting at least 30,000 people from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds towards long-term employment. It will also provide the chance to increase the diversity of talent across the industry and in our business.

Environmental Value

We firmly believe that improving environmental sustainability in the built environment is a moral and commercial imperative and we are committed to playing our part. In accordance with the Science Based Target initiative’s (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard which aligns business action with the latest climate science, we’ve committed to becoming a net zero carbon business by 2040 and have a near-term target to reduce our emissions by 47% from a 2019/20 baseline by 2030.
