During the year we have continued to make progress on our sustainability priorities.

We have significantly increased our on-site renewable capacity, and reduced our like-for-like Scope 1 emissions and also continued our policy of occupier engagement.

Our Sustainability Data Performance Report included disclosures which are third party assured. We report our emissions data by calendar year.
