Policy as at:
01/07/2021

Overview

Our vision and strategy

Our vision is to create environmental, social and economic value for our shareholders and wider stakeholders by integrating sustainability into the way we grow and manage our portfolio.

Who is responsible for this policy?

Ultimate responsibility for this policy rests with the board of Warehouse REIT plc. This responsibility is discharged through the Investment Advisor, 'Tilstone Partners' who oversees its implementation.

Strategy

Our sustainability framework is built around four themes, with the specific commitments relating to each outlined clearly within our Sustainability Policy and the Annual Report.

1. Creating a resilient portfolio:

Creating a resilient portfolio reduces our risk exposure to current and future legislation, transitional and physical climate risks and changing occupier demand.

2. Reducing our footprint:

Reducing our environmental footprint ensures our assets are aligned to a net zero carbon future, while reducing operating costs by minimising utilities consumption including water, energy and waste removal.

3. Supporting our occupiers:

Supporting our occupiers strengthens our relationship with them, encourages sustainability knowledge sharing and helps drive the sustainability agenda across the sector.

4. Responsible business foundations:

Being a responsible business is critical to managing our sustainability risks while also clearly communicating our ambitions and actions to our investors and wider stakeholders.
