Values

LS Estates is committed to the contributing to the reduction of the built environment’s carbon footprint.

Sustainability Statement

Our development approach and our capacity to manage and commercialise assets, is underpinned by a sensitivity to risk. Environmental risk is increasingly an important factor and therefore action on energy use and carbon consumption makes financial sense.

Our developments enrich their local communities and locations by delivering social benefits during construction phases and beyond into occupation. We are committed to enhancing the natural and built environment and in the last 5 years we have greatly increased biodiversity on our sites. Working closely with our design teams we consider occupant wellbeing from the outset of development as we recognise the positive impacts this can have on our clients and partners in the long- term.

For each project we aim to go beyond compliance for the next 10 years ahead we plan to:

• Embrace social diversity and inclusion while encouraging youth experience and education — Working with local schools and community groups in the areas around our developments.

• Ensure all the buildings we complete include measures that will allow them to be net zero carbon in operation by 2050.

• Complete buildings that source power from green and/or renewable sources.

• Monitor the percentage of recycled goods used in construction and publish that information on our website.

• Deliver schemes that exceed planning requirements for biodiversity on every major development or make contributions for local improvement if that is not feasible.

We will also push to reduce construction waste year on year by at least xx%. This will be closely paralleled with our drive for responsible construction and procurement methods. From the outset of every project, we will consider lifetime carbon and energy consumption. Beyond the boundary of our sites, we will look to incorporate
art and public realm improvement into our projects.

Anti Slavery Statement

We are committed to operating with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We have zero tolerance for modern slavery and expect the same standard from all our contractors, suppliers and other business partners.
