Our mission is to drive positive change in the built environment by integrating sustainability into every aspect of our investment strategy. We recognise that our role as an investment and asset manager goes beyond generating financial returns; it encompasses a commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance excellence.

2023/24 Responsible Investment Report
This is our 8th annual responsible investment report and focuses on “delivering on commitments”, showcasing the progress and positive impacts we have made across our assets.
Our comprehensive Sustainability policy is interwoven across our fundraising, investment and asset management activities and we are committed to achieving operational net zero carbon (‘NZC’) by 2030. Our NZC commitments and how we expect to achieve these are set out in our separate NZC policy.

---|---|
Target operational Zero Net Carbon by 2030 (scopes 1&2) and material Scope 3 emissions by 2040. |

100% of electricity to be sourced from renewables by 2030, where contracts are under our control. |
