Delivering on this promise remains at the heart of our ambitions. This is the real estate sector’s first social impact report. It is a very different report to the one we envisaged over a year ago. No-one could have foreseen then how Covid-19 would challenge not only the resilience of our communities but our everyday lives and how we live, work and relax. This report is a collection of real-life examples of how we’ve been living up to our commitment, to be a force for good in local communities, during the year of Covid-19. We believe that it also tells the story of an industry committed to delivering on its long-term promise to create positive change, and to enhance the vital role real estate plays in underpinning social wellbeing. That commitment will be much needed in 2021 and beyond.
