The Crown Estate

Established in 1760 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, The Crown Estate is owned by the Monarch and has significant rural and urban land holdings in the UK. The company focuses on long-term investment and management of land and infrastructure, including real estate such as leisure, office and retail buildings, as well as managing much of England's coastline. In 2023, it achieved a notable increase in offshore wind capacity, providing clean energy to around 11 million homes.

Summary

The Crown Estate discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company assigns sustainability oversight to its board-level sustainability committee and the group leadership team. However, it can improve its sustainability governance performance by disclosing management plans and targets that cover all of its material topics.

The Crown Estate should strengthen its commitment to human rights by incorporating all fundamental rights at work, as determined by the International Labour Organization (ILO), into its human rights policy and implementing processes to identify risks across its value chain. In relation to environmental impacts, the company lacks regular reporting on air and discharge water quality. Next to reporting on these impacts, it should implement measures to achieve consistent reductions in its waste generation and water consumption. Lastly, the company should conduct risk assessments for all types of natural disasters relevant to its operations to improve its resilience in times of emergency.
