Land Securities scores 55/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Land Securities joint 33rd of 591 companies scored, and 2nd of 16 in Construction / Real Estate.
Land Securities has published consistent annual sustainability data with third-party assurance since 2018 and holds SBTi-approved targets. Absolute emissions fell 24% since 2019/20, but Scope 3 trajectory remains volatile due to development pipeline variability. Water reporting lacks quantified portfolio-wide targets; embodied carbon reduction relies partly on offsetting.
