Sustainability Overview
Sustainable thinking: our responsible approach to business
This year we have made significant progress on our sustainability priorities. We have incorporated our sustainability reporting into this Annual Report, which better reflects our integrated approach. We will be publishing a Sustainability Data Performance Report, which will be made available on our website, including disclosures which are third party assured. We report our emissions data by calendar year. Our focus has been to build on our net zero carbon pathway and climate risk assessment work undertaken last year. We have established a Climate Action Working Group, involving members of the team from all areas of the business. Our priorities have been to implement the short-term recommendations identified and good progress has been made on these aspects. I am pleased to report that we have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 24% in absolute terms compared to our 2019 baseline. As the majority of our emissions come from Scope 3 emissions, I am pleased to note that we have further improved the level of occupier data collection over the year. Continued engagement and collaboration with our occupiers on both data collection and reducing emissions will be a key area of focus looking forward. Engagement with stakeholders has been key and we have held sustainability briefings for investors and occupiers alike. We have continued to develop team training on sustainability issues and additionally recruited a Head of Building Surveying who will coordinate the building fabric related improvements that are required to improve our assets. Acting responsibly is a key strategic priority and an integral part of our approach to business. While we are only at the start of our net zero carbon journey, I am confident we are moving in the right direction.
