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.
Landsec Futures
Landsec Futures is a £20m fund that aims to deliver around £200m of social value by 2030. The Fund supports Landsec’s Live Well commitment to empower at least 30,000 people from underrepresented socio-economic backgrounds towards long-term employment. It will also provide the chance to increase the diversity of talent across the industry and in our business.
Landsec Community Charter
Our Community Charter has been co-created with our community partners and teams across the business. The charter is a set of commitments that we as a responsible developer and landlord must stick to in order to involve and engage our communities throughout the development process and beyond. Empowering our communities to collaborate and partner with us will ultimately help us create fun, safe, beautiful and exciting places for the future.
