Operating & Financial Review

Objectives

British Land’s primary objective is to produce superior, sustained and secure long-term shareholder returns from management of our chosen real estate activities and their financing.

The bedrock of our strategy is:

  • to focus on areas of competitive advantage
  • a bias to high quality assets, with long lease profiles and favourable demand and supply characteristics, complemented by an efficient capital structure
  • a distinctive ability to add value through purchases, disposals and partnerships
  • excellent integrated risk management skills – blending leasing, development, asset and liability risk into a single attractive and secure growth proposition for shareholders
  • superior long-term income/cash flow growth
  • a confident, entrepreneurial and, where justified, contrarian culture.

How British Land will evolve

We plan to develop further:

  • the intensity of our asset management activities, with increasing focus on our customers
  • the disciplined process of regular review of our assets’ prospective performance, as individual properties and the portfolio composition, making changes as appropriate
  • our human capital, managing change and renewal, while maintaining focus on performance for shareholders
  • the Company’s positioning at the forefront of investor friendly behaviour

and so to build on our strong record of value creation for shareholders.
