Landsec has cut absolute emissions 24–33% since 2020 and holds SBTi-validated 2030 targets, but needs material acceleration to hit -47%. Water lacks binding targets entirely. Supply chain and nature outcomes remain unverified; renewable energy still relies on REGO certificates without additionality.
Land Securities scores 54/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
