ESG creates real opportunities for property owners, developers, occupiers and investors to achieve a positive impact on the environment and society.
It is no longer enough for companies to focus solely on profitability and growth. Our stakeholders – including shareholders, clients, and staff – now expect us, as an organisation, to deliver these outcomes in the best possible way: making positive Environmental change, delivering Social Value, and establishing good Governance.
Our values are integral to everything we do. We deliver for our clients, shareholders, and stakeholders by acting responsibly in all areas of our work and seek to deliver positive impact across:
1.Our Business
2.Our People
3.Our Environment
4.Our Community
We are committed to achieving a net zero status to support the global decarbonisation effort. Our commitment to net zero is integrated throughout our business and the services that we deliver.
As of 2020, LSH have set a science-based target (SBT) aligned to a 1.5 degree warming through Planet Mark, committed to achieve net zero by 2030.
To date we have achieved a total carbon reduction of 13%.
As of 2022, LSH became members of the Social Value Portal which uses the National TOMS as well as UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to deliver on our social value commitments.
Governance
We have established ESG governance groups, instigated processes and initiated disclosures to ensure that we take the right level of responsibility, and we stay accountable.
To support this, we are members of several industry led sustainability focused organisations.
Our memberships include:
UK Green Building Council (UKGBC)
BBP Managing Agents Partnerships (MAP)
Supply Chain Sustainability School
Social Value Portal
Planet Mark
The 17 goals
Sustainable Development Goals
Through our work with Planet Mark, we align our commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which address the global challenges we face including poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation.
