To provide a meaningful way to measure and manage our performance and progress, we have a series of stretching objectives, running from 2007 to 2010, and annual targets acting as milestones along the way. This section contains a review of our performance against this year's targets and an independent advisor's report.
Information in this section covers the reporting period 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009, unless otherwise stated, and includes data relating to the performance of Land Securities Trillium before it was sold.

Last year, we set ourselves more than 30 realistic but stretching annual targets, and meeting them will ensure we remain on track to meet our long-term objectives.

We capture performance data in key areas across the business, which we publish annually.

Upstream Strategies provides us with an independent assessment of our performance against our targets for the financial year to 31 March 2009.
