British Land awardsOur business success depends on our ability to develop and manage buildings that offer enduring appeal, at the same time asoperating efficiently and effectively for the hundreds of businesses which occupy the buildings we own and manage. Treatinglocal people properly, particularly where we are building on their doorsteps, and being fair in our dealings with our staff andsuppliers, are not just box-ticking exercises, they are part of our core ethos as a company.
In recent times, we have heard about sustainability more and more often. The problem with words like this is that they maymean different things to different people. Where possible, we prefer to be more specific and more measurable. We aim to beenergy and water efficient, to send as little waste as possible to landfill, to keep our customers happy, to build good relationshipswith local communities, and to attract and retain appropriately skilled and experienced staff.
Our efforts continue to be underpinned by our strong customer focus. We were pleased to be recognised as the real estatesector leader in Oekoms Corporate Responsibility Review 2010, as well as one of Corporate Knights Global 100 MostSustainable Corporations 2009. However, if we developed a green building that nobody wanted to occupy, we would not bemeeting the needs of our customers or our investors. If we turned off lights inappropriately at our retail parks, we may saveenergy but we could cost our retailers footfall and shopper spend. Many of the issues concerned with sustainability are complexand inter-related, so we have to take a common sense approach to fit each business circumstance.
For instance, our premium office estate, Regents Place, where we recently completed the latest phase of our plans for thearea, adjoins one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in London. Here, community engagement and regeneration are critical to
our ability to develop and manage our investment. Elsewhere, whilst these activities are still important, other aspects may rise upthe agenda; for instance, managing flood risks in the River Don District or conserving water in areas prone to drought.
At our Head Office, we have worked closely with our building management team and occupiers to improve energy efficiency,supported by a new energy management system. The result was a 32% reduction in British Land controlled energy use, savingnearly 1 million kWh and 50,000 on energy bills. We are now working with occupiers and managing agents across our portfolioto implement similar schemes elsewhere. Given that we managed 128 million kWh of energy on behalf of occupiers across ourmulti-let portfolio this year, with an estimated energy bill of 10 million, the opportunity for savings is significant.
Corporate responsibility is, without doubt, a critical part of our approach to property development and management. This is whywe are able to build developments that are 27% more energy efficient than the norm, and how we reduced energy use by 12%across our like-for-like portfolio. Im pleased with the progress we have made this year, but I also recognise that we still havefurther to go to ensure that every member of our Head Office team and supply chain understands our partnership approach tocorporate responsibility, and recognises that it is a central part of how we do business the right way.

Who we are
Our approach to CR
Medium-term targets
Awards weve won
British Land awards As a business we have a responsibility to all those people whose lives we affect, to businesses which occupy our properties,to people who work or shop at our properties, or who live nearby, to our own staff and those of our suppliers, to ourshareholders who have invested their funds in our business and to future generations who will be affected by the way in whichwe treat our planet and its finite resources.
We are already working with our partners to generate significant savings in energy and water use, at the same time as meetingand anticipating our customers needs. However, the extent to which we rely on others also presents challenges, as partnershipscan sometimes lead to inaction and we can only achieve results by managing our relationships with suppliers and occupierseffectively. We will continue to drive all aspects of our performance and respond to the needs of our partners.
We are getting significant buy-in from our occupiers on our efficiency initiatives, which are delivering cost reductions, forinstance through less energy and water use, and focused security and cleaning contracts. We have also helped occupiers tobuild strong relationships with local people at properties such as Regents Place in London and Glasgow Fort Shopping Park.We continue to anticipate occupiers future demands, for instance developing 60,000 sq ft of green roof space in central Londonto encourage biodiversity and provide our occupiers with a pleasant environment to work in or look out upon. The responsefrom occupiers is very encouraging and we firmly believe that by addressing customers existing and future requirements in thisway we will achieve a business advantage.
In terms of developments, over the last couple of years we have benefited from the chance to review our approach tosustainable developments during a quieter period, for instance, reviewing embodied carbon and exploring environmental andsocial impacts. As we move back towards more development activity, this provides a firm base for our approach tosustainability. Next year, we will be updating our Sustainability Brief for Developments to reflect feedback from our projectteams, as well as best practice and regulatory requirements.
Going forward, we will maintain our partnership approach, embedding corporate responsibility amongst our staff and suppliers,at the same time as working closely with our customers and local people. We will be carrying out independent surveys over thenext year or two, to identify further opportunities to raise performance and increase the satisfaction levels of our staff, customersand local communities, as well as to improve customer satisfaction with our suppliers. We already work intensively withinvestors and will look at ways to communicate with them more closely on corporate responsibility, exploring what issues matterto them most, as well as doing more work to understand the links between corporate responsibility and business success.
When we started targeting BREEAM Excellent ratings for all of our office developments several years ago, we correctlyanticipated future occupier demand for more sustainable commercial buildings. We are now seeing financial and businessservice companies competing with each other on the sustainability credentials of their offices. Similarly, our commitment tocarbon neutrality has prepared us to deal with the financial and administrative implications of the Governments CRC EnergyEfficiency Scheme which came into effect this year.
Thanks to our rigorous approach to managing and monitoring issues such as energy efficiency, water use, recycling andcustomer satisfaction, we are well placed to meet more demanding regulatory requirements, financial pressures and stakeholderexpectations. Ultimately the test of whether our corporate responsibility strategy is working is our ability to offer enduringoccupier appeal.
We recognise that the calibre of organisations which select us as their partner of choice will reflect our success in providing asustainable environment in which modern business can thrive.

We will be increasing our efforts toreduce water use. Although paybackperiods tend to be longer than forenergy initiatives as water costs arelower, significant savings can beachieved, for instance through moreeffective maintenance regimes forwater infrastructure. We will alsocontinue to undertake annual floodrisk assessments where there isperceived exposure, implementinginitiatives as appropriate.
On our developments, our projectteams continue to apply ourSustainability Brief, specifying waterefficient technologies, introducingrainwater harvesting schemes and
installing water meters to help us toreduce water in the long-term.

Through our carbon strategy wefocus on measuring our carbonfootprint, improving energyefficiency, developing sustainablebuildings and using low-carbonenergy sources, finally purchasingcarbon credits to offset ourremaining emissions. TheGovernments CRC EnergyEfficiency Scheme, which launchedin April 2010, requires us to buycarbon credits for all energy wepurchase. At our retail properties,we generally purchase energyconsumed in the common parts,with retailers purchasing energyconsumed in their own demises.Across our office portfolio, we
purchase almost all of the energy
consumed, both in the common partsand in occupiers' own demises.
We will be guided by any futureindustry-wide consensus on howlandlords and occupiers should sharecarbon credit liabilities. Our currentintention is to allocate liability towhoever has the greatest influenceon energy consumption. We wouldtherefore be responsible for thecommon parts and occupiers wouldbear liability for their own demises,with responsibility for central heatingand cooling plant across our officeportfolio shared equally. A provisionwould be introduced to future officeleases to reflect this shared liability.

More than 30 native plant specieswere present at 201 Bishopsgateand The Broadgate Tower (EC2)during the summer, with a rareblack redstart already foraging.
At Regents Place (NW1), weplanted over 60 native species onthe 27,000 sq ft green roofs. Oncemature, these are expected toprovide foraging and shelter forbats, bees, black redstarts, housesparrows and house martins.
Biodiversity on the 20,000 sq ft ofgreen roofs at Ropemaker Place(EC2) is currently limited by thenumber of non-native plants. Weplan to plug plant more local species,and will learn from this lesson on ourother developments.
At our Head Office (W1), we seeded30 plant species on 1,300 sq ft ofretrofitted green roofs. This wasinformed by our award-winning greenroof trial with Arup in 2007. Commonbirds are already using the roof, withmore species likely to benefit.
BiodiversityA new study shows that, over the last few years, ourdevelopments in central London have positively contributed tolocal biodiversity.

Development teamsWe develop buildings in partnership with a team of specialiststhat includes architects, engineers, building contractors andnumerous sub-contractors.
In partnership with our contractor atRegents Place, Bovis Lend Lease,we carried out an in-depth study ofsustainability within our supply chain.This revealed that our independentaudits of construction suppliers areworking well, and that concrete andsteel typically have the greatestenvironmental impacts of all ourconstruction materials. It alsoidentified opportunities to improvethe sustainability of constructionmaterials used by our suppliers andof our on-site working practices.
