Policies
Our policies represent some of our core building blocks to ensure best practice in sustainability is shared and implemented across the business.
Environmental Policy
Hammerson is one of Europe's leading property investment and development companies whose principal activities include the acquisition, development and management of retail properties.
Climate Change Policy
Hammerson recognises that the built environment is a major consumer of natural resources and one of the primary sources of manmade carbon emissions. We also acknowledge and commit to understanding and addressing the immediate and longer-term challenges to our business posed by climate change.
Biodiversity Policy
Our operations have the potential to impact on biodiversity both directly and indirectly. As such, we recognise our responsibility to manage these impacts, ensuring that negative impacts on biodiversity are minimised as far as possible, and opportunities to protect and enhance biodiversity are maximised.
Responsible Procurement Policy
As one of Europe’s leading property companies Hammerson is a major procurer of goods and services. We recognise the importance of addressing the social, environmental and ethical risks in our supply chain.
Flexible Working And Equal Opportunities Policy
Hammerson is committed to facilitating working arrangements which vary from the standard pattern and which are consistent with the needs of the business.
Hammerson Health and Safety Policy
Positive Places are safe places. Safeguarding our employees, customers and suppliers is a constant for our business.
Code Of Conduct
We ask our employes to treat other people with respect, act fairly in dealing with customers, suppliers and other stakeholder organisations, comply with all laws and regulations. The company commits to maintaining integrity in financial reporting and operating a control framework that includes environmental, and health and safety policies.
Supply Chain Code Of Conduct and Procurement
In 2009, Hammerson launched a responsible procurement policy to improve our engagement with our suppliers, and, as a result, improve our joint performance. The Supply Chain Code of Conduct is one of the results of that policy.
Volunteering Policy
We aim to deliver innovative volunteering programmes that aim to positively benefit local communities whilst providing supplementary benefits to both employees and the business.
