Working with us

We want to be recognised as a partner of choice by the diverse range of stakeholders involved in the marine sectors of our business.

From aggregates, aquaculture, cables and pipelines to ports, harbours, moorings, marinas and other assets, we work alongside a wide range of stakeholders and partners to enhance the value of our marine holdings.

Our aim is to enable development, bring businesses and communities together and provide the structures for them to make progress.

But it's not all about commercialism. Stewardship is another core value of The Crown Estate, representing our commitment to exemplary environmental practice, sustainability and taking the long-term view. Nowhere is this more important or more evident than in the work we carry out on our coastal assets. In particular, our marine stewardship programme supports a wealth of practical projects, relevant research and other initiatives that improve the status and management of the coastal estate.

Our business strategy reflects the diversity of the marine estate and embraces its rapidly changing business environment. The increasing focus on carbon emissions reduction, security of energy supply, and job and business creation has added momentum to our drive to develop the assets and resources under our ownership.

Our business strategy takes us through to 2015 and sets out our future role and actions. Most importantly, it guides us in how we will extract full potential value from our unique estate to achieve our vision. Now is the time to deliver.
