Being a Responsible Business
Doing the Right Thing– Now, and in the Future
Being a responsible business is about leading by example – taking action to support our strategy of Making Sustainability Real. We want to build a city that’s forward-looking and sustainable, benefiting the wider community.
We’re building the world’s first SDG-compliant city – a place that contributes to economic growth, creates employment, nurtures ability, promotes inclusion and diversity, keeps everyone on our Estate safe and secure, and enhances wellbeing for all our stakeholders. That means being open, honest and accountable in all we do. It also means recognising the many challenges in the way, and empowering people who work for and with us to understand that, by getting involved and taking small actions to tackle those challenges, they can collectively make a huge difference.
Through our actions and behaviour, and by always looking to improve the management of our impact, we strive to be a responsible city.
