Two decades on from the launch of our first 可持续性 Brief, which led the industry and drove positive change, 我们的最新更新突破了新的界限, as we work collaboratively to achieve the ambitious targets set out in our 2030 sustainability strategy: Greener Spaces, 繁荣的地方, 负责任的选择.
大卫•洛克 英国地产公司的开发主管, 大卫·沃克, 首席运营官, reflect on the impact of earlier Briefs and discuss how our latest version will further accelerate progress.
不断改进
Our low-carbon refurbishment of 3 Sheldon Square, 帕丁顿中心, 保留和重用现有结构, while transforming the building to be all electric, improving energy efficiency by over 40% and upgrading to EPC A.大卫·沃克: 我们的新简报标志着向前迈出了重要的一步, 在许多领域要求更高的kpi, 包括创新, 实际生活工资, 社会影响, 气候适应能力与自然, as well as broad and stretching sustainability targets for logistics and science and technology projects. As we face global challenges, there’s no time to stand still. We’re already exploring a hit list of emerging opportunities with suppliers, consultants and manufacturers for our next update.
大卫·洛克: This latest version of our award-winning 可持续性 Brief continues to set industry-leading standards, as we advance progress on our 2030 targets – from halving embodied carbon intensity and reducing operational emissions by 75%, to directly enabling £200m of social and economic value and always paying 实际生活工资. This contributes to our leadership in international benchmarks, 包括GRESB, where we are ranked European Sector Leader for Standing Investments and Global Sector Leader for Development.
为客户推动进步
大卫·沃克: 作为英国最大的房地产公司之一, we know that our customers increasingly want space with outstanding sustainability credentials and that our places thrive when our local communities also succeed. We have seen, over many years, the positive effect our collaboration can have.
大卫·洛克: We have achieved so much in the 20 years since we launched our first 可持续性 Brief – from advancing net zero carbon progress and delivering BREEAM Outstanding destinations, 帮助成千上万的人找到工作. I look forward to even more progress in the coming years.
以规模和速度创新
在尤斯顿塔, 摄政的地方, 我们试行了第一个合作设计项目, 创造性地吸引了570多名当地人, and delivered an award-winning employment initiative for young people.大卫·洛克: An important change in our new Brief is requiring innovation and ‘beyond best practice’ initiatives at all our places across all our pillars: Greener Spaces, 繁荣的地方, 负责任的选择. Where these are successful, we will then roll them out across our portfolio as appropriate. Innovation at scale and pace is essential to achieving our 2030 goals and beyond. We want our suppliers to come to us with bold ideas to push boundaries.
大卫·沃克: Reflecting British Land’s status as an accredited Living Wage Employer, all our suppliers are now required to pay 实际生活工资 to all regular employees at our places. This builds on our long track record of paying 实际生活工资 to our own employees and to people working on our developments and our campuses.
创造卓越场所
100 Liverpool Street, Broadgate, achieved low embodied carbon intensity of 389kg CO2e per sqm and is rated BREEAM Outstanding for sustainability.大卫·沃克: We will continue to stretch our teams and supplier partners on our environmental, social and governance requirements throughout the property life cycle – creating outstanding places and working towards our ambitious sustainability goals. 我们可以一起取得更大的成就.
大卫·洛克: To ensure a fair and inclusive journey to a resilient, 净零未来, we encourage our supply chain to think about connections between environmental and social sustainability – from developing green skills through employment initiatives, to integrating regenerative design principles into our projects to create positive impacts on nature and people.
