Strategic Objectives
  • To anticipate and meet our occupiers' long-term needs
  • To share best practice on sustainability issues

Our approach to engaging with our customers on sustainability issues is to:

  • introduce green leases across the portfolio.
  • assist customers on fit-out and operations through our Tenants’ Sustainability Guide.
  • create Green Groups in our shopping centres.
  • develop exemplar stores in partnership with customers.

We engage with our customers on an ongoing basis to understand their needs and identify ways of improving environmental and social performance.

Customers

  • Hammerson had 698 green leases with tenants by the end of 2009: 590 in the UK and 108 in France.
  • We created Green Groups at 99 Bishopsgate, Brent Cross and Highcross to encourage tenants to share sustainability ideas. We commit to having green groups at all assets by the end of 2010.
  • In 2009 we issued our first Tenants’ Sustainability Guide in France to all existing customers. The guide offers information on ongoing operations as well as fit-out.
  • We have continued to work with De Montfort University on a partnership to deliver StoreLab, a facility which will allow retailers to test sustainable technologies and compare products. We were successful in our joint application to the EU to fund the project, which will be located on the university campus.
