Decarbonising our business

As a national landowner, The Crown Estate is committed to reducing the climate impact of our portfolio. We’re taking action to decarbonise our operations and supply chain, guided by a science led approach and associated sector-specific plans.

Our strategy spans real estate, land and marine environments, and includes investment in infrastructure, supply chains and data capabilities. We’re also piloting innovative solutions to strengthen climate resilience.

Delivering meaningful change requires collaboration. We’re working with communities, customers, tenants, businesses and policymakers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to support a national transition to net zero.

This expanded approach builds on progress already made across rural, urban and marine sectors. It reflects our ambition to accelerate action, raise accountability and contribute to a low-carbon, energy-secure future.

In October 2025, we published an update outlining our expanded scope, sector-specific decarbonisation plans and recent progress.

A joined-up approach to environmental impact

As well as decarbonising our business, we are committed to supporting the nation’s net zero transition. Using our long-standing presence in UK offshore wind, we’re helping further expand the sector while advancing development of technologies that capture and store carbon. We’re also committed to supporting nature recovery, recognising the connections that exist between climate change and biodiversity loss.
