We aim to put people first in everything we do.
We recognise that we have a responsibility to leave a positive and lasting legacy on the people we work with, whether our own employees, our supply chain, or our local communities.
Research has shown that a diverse and inclusive workplace can result in higher revenue growth, a greater readiness to innovate, an increased ability to recruit a diverse talent pool, and significantly higher employee retention rates.
We believe that by employing and engaging with people from different backgrounds - and by learning from their lived experience - we are better placed to create more inclusive places.
We have a responsibility to ensure that local people benefit directly from the pathways into training, apprenticeships and employment programmes that exist across our activities and within our supply chain.
We are committed to investing in the education and training at all levels to ensure that as many people as possible can access the opportunities that are available to them.
We have a significant influence on the safety, health and wellbeing of a wide variety of stakeholders and can influence better outcomes through engagement, creative design and good management.
Beyond compliance with minimum requirements, we seek to find innovative solutions and to identify partners across our network to improve the health and wellbeing of our employees, residents, tenants and the wider community.
We are running a business and developing assets, but more importantly, we are building communities.
To be sustainable in the long-term, we need to meet the needs of the people who live, work and visit our places and we do this by engaging with our stakeholders on a regular basis, responding to and anticipating their needs.
