Making progressPending Review

Lendlease has achieved strong operational emissions reductions and 100% renewable electricity by FY25, backed by SBTi-validated targets. Scope 3 emissions remain largely unquantified despite comprising 90% of footprint. Nature strategy is nascent, water targets absent, and circular economy commitments lack specifics.
