Land Securities


In 2006, we helped Land Securities create an innovative report. Doing Corporate Responsibility combines challenging articles, extended case studies and data to help readers understand the issues in the property sector as well as Land Securities' CR strategy and performance.

We wrote three 'think pieces' based on interviews with the CEO, Francis Salway, a biodiversity expert and a leading sustainability architect. These explore the complex challenges facing a commercial property company. and identify some solutions.

The report also features three case studies describing the company's CR activity in each of its three businesses - development, property outsourcing and shopping centres. We interviewed company employees, customers and external experts. We also visited Land Securities properties, including a shopping centre in Sunderland in the north-east of England.

A fourth case study explores the employment issues for the company through the voice of an employee, Wendy Franks. Wendy talks about the positives and negatives of being a Land Securities employee.

The articles and case studies make Doing Corporate Responsibility accessible to both CR professionals and non-specialists. A data section provides the hard facts which any CR report needs to be credible and to show how the company is progressing.
