Social impact

Places are more than just bricks and mortar – they shape people’s lives, experiences, and wellbeing.

As long-term investors and community partners we have a huge role to play in ensuring places have a positive impact on people. 

That’s why social impact sits alongside environmental and commercial considerations in all our decision making – putting planet and people at the centre of our business. 

We don’t take positive impact for granted. By recognising, measuring and listening to the distinct needs of a community we can make better informed decisions to improve wellbeing and outcomes for everyone.  

Our social impact goals

Increase wellbeing

We measure and act on over 20 recognised wellbeing drivers covering community, enterprise and employment, empowerment and environment.

By taking an evidence-based approach and listening closely to what communities tell us, we can direct our resources more effectively to deliver maximum local impact.

Support business growth

We help socially positive businesses to grow by providing a variety places to suit different businesses; prioritising our spend with smaller, local suppliers where appropriate, and by helping local people develop critical workplace skills.
