Inclusive places

We are committed to embedding inclusive behaviours into our culture and providing inclusive services for our employees, customers and suppliers. Having a diverse workforce at all levels of our company will ensure we make better decisions – for our business and for our stakeholders.

We believe that employing a diverse mix of people makes us a stronger and more sustainable business and one that reflects the diverse society around us.

Helping provide equal opportunities for all


We are committed to embedding inclusive behaviours into our culture and providing inclusive services for our employees, customers and suppliers. 

This year, we revised our approach to D&I, launching our new strategy: Diverse Talent, Inclusive Culture, Inclusive Places. 

We created our new framework with colleagues across the business, and it is endorsed by our Executive Leadership Team and Board. We have developed a shared vision that articulates why D&I is important to Landsec, and what we want to achieve: 


“We design, develop and manage more inclusive, commercially successful places through attracting and nurturing diverse talent within a culture that enables everyone to reach their full potential.”
 

As part of creating sustainable and inclusive places, we are using our skills, resources and people to provide opportunities to address social inequalities. 

We will achieve this vision through actions grouped under three pillars, nine D&I themes and foundations that support the overall delivery:

Our affinity networks

 
We have four employee-led affinity networks at Landsec; Landsec Women, Diaspora Network, Landsec Pride and Hand in Hand. All work together, are fully inclusive, and celebrate our intersectional ties. They are open to all colleagues and have over 200 members. In support of our D&I objectives, we want to hear all voices across the Company, and so we continue to work closely with our four affinity networks to ensure we get feedback from all perspectives. 

The networks bring our theme of intersectionality to life by collaborating on major network events, such as International Women’s Day and Black History Month.  For the fifth consecutive year, our Hand in Hand Network supported Purple Tuesday to spread awareness for disabled people.
