Urban Property

In 2021, our urban property business developed a set of Supply Chain Principles which set minimum standards of business practices expected from suppliers engaging with Grosvenor. In short, these expect our suppliers to:

  • Conduct business in an ethical manner
  • Treat all workers fairly, with trust, respect, and integrity
  • Support their communities
  • Respect the environment and efficiently use natural resources

We published these Principles on our website on 1 January 2022, and began rolling them out across our suppliers, with a target of achieving the commitment from 75% of our suppliers by spend by 2030. We are pleased to report that in just three months we have already managed to secure the commitment of 28% of our suppliers by spend.

Grosvenor-wide

This year, we doubled the amount of volunteering hours dedicated to our local communities and charitable partnerships. Activities ranged from clearing underused, overgrown green spaces to enable communities to access nature, to volunteering in our Neighbourhood Kitchen which provides safe cooking facilities for communities in Hong Kong who live in small, cramped flats without kitchens.
