Community
We recognise the importance of social capital, and will work with our clients, stakeholders and local Communities to promote its creation.
Underpinned by six sustainability principles, our industry-leading Footprint® methodology drives everything we do, ensuring each project ties back to our mission to find better ways of delivering development for People, Place and Planet.
Following a guided process, each of our developments generate positive impacts for the Communities we work with, and demonstrate added value for our investors.
Since day one we’ve been breaking new ground, and as we’ve grown our impact has only accelerated. The industry-leading stats recorded in our latest 2023-2024 reporting period are highlighted here...
