Objective 3: Be a sustainable business partner We’re all about partnerships – we work with others to deliver our services and whole communities (not just our customers) live and work on our estates. We’ll make sure we aren’t an obstacle to others being more sustainable. We work with over 3,000 different suppliers and buy goods from all over the world. We’re anticipating that the UK’s commitment to net-zero will introduce new sustainability challenges for our suppliers and we’ll work with our suppliers and make sustainability a factor in our procurement decisions. Our estates contain a variety of trees and plants which can offset the greenhouse gas emissions generated by activities on our estates. We are changing the way we manage our estates to encourage biodiversity and make them part of the solution to environmental challenges.
