Empowering Community Growth

Our purpose is to invest in, manage and enhance retail property by creating dynamic environments tailored to the local communities.

With rising investor requirements and evidence connecting ESG performance with resilience and financial returns, managing our ESG risks and opportunities has become an integral part of our business strategy and how we can continue to create value for our stakeholders.

Our strategy reflects three key pillars: minimising the negative impact of our assets on the environment, providing a superior experience to our people and responding to the unique needs of our local communities.

Our overall strategy is based on three key pillars, Environment, People and Community.

Each key pillar is guided by five intentions, and for 2024 and beyond we are integrating the IMM framework (Social Impact Measurement and Management). The aim is to revitalise retail and leisure areas, prioritising tailored services that cater to the requirements of tenants and local communities.

At C&R, managing the environmental impact of our owned and leased assets through the property lifecycle, from refurbishment to operation, means we can embed resilience against our ESG risks, realise opportunities associated with environmental improvements and ensure better places for all to enjoy.
