We will create opportunities and inclusive places to change lives, supporting communities to thrive.

We are a significant creator of jobs across real estate, construction, customer service and retail, and we have an important role in helping create a fairer, more inclusive economy. One that helps tackle the social inequalities specific to our local areas, and addresses the current and future skills we need.

Inclusive places

We will design, develop and manage our assets and new developments to be accessible ensuring everyone feels like they belong.

Launched our refreshed Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) strategy: Diverse Talent, Inclusive Culture, Inclusive Places.

We are implementing a D&I procurement and supply chain strategy with three core objectives; increasing the diversity of our supply chain, improving D&I practices within our supply chain, and working with suppliers who can support us in delivering our strategy.

We have included specific D&I training requirements in contract requirements, made the latest guidance on designing for neurodiversity part of our design brief for a major wayfinding contract, and worked with our supply chain partners to develop a D&I plan for our Timber Square development.

New target: Actively recruit, retain and progress a diverse workforce at all levels and nurture and support diverse talent into the wider real estate industry.

40:40:20* gender targets and representative ethnic minority targets by 2030:
• Board (20%)
• Executive (20%)
• Senior Leader (18%)
• Leader (18%)

* Our 40:40:20 gender diversity targets mean that we will have a minimum of 40% women and 40% men in the relevant population. 20% is flexible accounting for the small headcount and diversity beyond the gender binary.

New target – performance to be reported next year

Improving wellbeing

Targets and Metrics

Promote a culture which enhances Landsec colleagues’ wellbeing, having relevant policies and delivering impactful campaigns.

2022/23 performance

We continue to respect and encourage the need for balance in all aspects of life, by supporting initiatives such our first Work Life Balance group, create by our Regeneration Development Team to gauge thoughts and feelings, and gather suggestions of things we could do to create the most effective work-life balance

This year we also created a new policy for colleagues going through pregnancy loss, with paid time off, and improved our policy on compassionate leave, which recognises the importance of close relationships outside of immediate family. We also created comprehensive guidelines on how to support colleagues through loss or bereavement, to equip our colleagues to do this in the best way
