The Annual Report contains 
forward-looking statements. For

Urban warehouses are located in, or close to, 
population centres and business districts 
and provide flexible space for many activities. 
They are used by a wide variety of businesses 
that need rapid access to end customers 
and skilled labour. They are generally situated 
close to main routes into the city.
Big box warehouses are typically used for 
storing and processing goods for regional, 
national and international distribution and are 
much larger than urban warehouses. They 
are often located far from the end customer 
but on major transport routes (mainly 
motorways and around ports, rail freight 
terminals and airports) to allow rapid transit.
Data centres house IT infrastructure 
for building, running and delivering 
applications and services, including the 
Cloud and Artificial Intelligence. They are 
often located close to densely populated 
areas and major financial centres in 
clusters known as Availability Zones.

 Positioned  
for long-term  
 success
Our simple but effective business model and the 
consistent application of our clear strategy have 
created a portfolio of irreplaceable pan-European 
warehouses and data centres, as well as an 
exceptional land bank. They are expertly 
managed by our market-leading operating 
platform that drives growth and unlocks value. 
This is particularly valuable in a sector where 
powerful, long-term structural drivers support 
demand for our space and limit competition.
We have the potential to more than double 
our rental income through proactive asset 
management of our existing assets and the 
development of our land bank, supported by a 
strong balance sheet with plenty of firepower.

Weighted towards urban 
warehousing where there are 
significant barriers to entry due 
to land supply and increasingly 
challenging planning regimes.
We are focused on the 
industrial sector where there 
are long-term structural 
trends driving occupier 
demand from a diverse 
range of business sectors.
One of the most modern and 
sustainable pan-European 
portfolios focused on the most 
attractive European markets.
A balance sheet with modest 
leverage and a diverse, long- 
duration debt profile that 
provides us with plenty of 
capacity for investment.
Our teams on the ground in 
each market build close 
relationships with our customers 
and other business partners, 
helping us to drive value and 
create new opportunities.
Our extensive land bank is a 
rare and valuable asset and an 
important source of growth, 
both in terms of the physical 
assets that it allows us to 
develop and the rental income 
that those buildings generate.

About SEGRO continued
All four of these structural trends 
are having a powerful impact on 
demand for industrial space, where 
two or more of them combine the 
effect is even greater. 
Long-term 
structural trends, 
supporting demand 
for the spaces 
we create
The digital revolution has led to significant 
changes in consumer behaviours and in the 
way people communicate and work. Increased 
e-commerce penetration across Europe has 
led to retailers needing to adapt distribution 
networks to facilitate omni-channel and the 
growth of logistics to support pure play 
e-commerce. The explosion of data and 
adoption of Al is driving expansion of data 
centre infrastructure across Europe. 
Why SEGRO is well positioned:
	– Our portfolio of big box and urban 
warehouses provides space for both 
fulfillment and last-mile distribution.
	– We own the largest hub of data centres in 
Europe and have a 2.3GW land-enabled 
power bank focused on Europe’s core 
Availability Zones.
Major cities consistently grow faster than their 
home countries, which increases demand for 
housing as well as goods and services to 
support these larger populations. Warehouses 
are key to delivering many of these goods and 
services, yet industrial land is increasingly 
being used for residential development and 
other uses (including data centres).
Why SEGRO is well-positioned:
	– Two-thirds of our portfolio is in urban 
locations and benefits from this structural 
shortage of supply. 
	– We have an incredibly diverse customer 
base, many of them providing value-add 
goods and services. 
	– Our urban customers need to be located 
close to city centres for rapid access to their 
end customers and skilled labour.

About SEGRO continued
Efficient and reliable distribution networks 
and supply chains are of vital importance for 
successful, modern businesses. They allow 
them to deliver superior customer service, 
create cost efficiencies and build in resilience; 
and require modern warehousing in the 
right locations. 
Why SEGRO is well-positioned:
	– We manage one of the largest and most 
modern warehouse portfolios in Europe, 
with big box warehouses located along key 
transportation routes and in major logistics 
hubs, as well as urban warehouses in 
major cities.
	– Our focus on logistics parks and the 
provision of key infrastructure, such as 
strategic rail freight interchanges, attracts the 
most ambitious and innovative businesses.
Businesses are increasingly focusing on the 
impact of their operations on the environment 
and the buildings that they occupy play an 
important part in this. Our customers are 
looking to minimise their own carbon footprints 
and reduce their overall occupancy costs. 
Buildings need to be sustainable in the long 
term and use natural resources efficiently.
Why SEGRO is well-positioned:
	– Our Mandatory Sustainability Policy ensures 
that we build to the highest sustainability 
standards. 
	– 76 per cent of SEGRO’s portfolio has an EPC 
rating of ‘B’ or better and we have an active 
programme to upgrade older assets when 
the opportunity arises. 
	– We added a record level of solar to our 
rooftops during 2024, taking our installed 
capacity to 123 MW.

Creating

We challenge ourselves to pursue excellence 
in every aspect of our business. This ensures 
that we think creatively, innovate, explore new 
ways to serve our customers, challenge market 
norms, and strive to stay one step ahead of 
the competition.
In this year’s Annual Report & Accounts we 
have highlighted three assets, one from each 
of our portfolio segments (urban, big box and 
data centres), and explore how these spaces 
that we have created are enabling extraordinary 
things to happen.

Sustainable growth, thriving economies, and 
meeting the needs of growing populations rely on 
optimised and efficient supply chains. 
SEGRO’s development-led approach enables 
delivery of sustainable, flexible warehouse space 
for our diverse range of customers and critical 
infrastructure to help move goods efficiently. 
SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway 
(‘SLPEMG’) is a 700-acre site which was 
transformed, with zero waste to landfill, into 
a logistics park for the future. Connected by a 
Strategic Rail Freight Interchange, SLPEMG enables 
11 customers and 7,000 workers to move millions 
of goods and parcels. 
The on-site rail terminal, operated by Maritime, 
transports goods across the UK, linked by rail to 
other strategic rail freight interchanges and major 
UK ports such as Southampton, Felixstowe, London 
Gateway and the Channel Tunnel. Every tonne of 
freight transported by rail emits 76 per cent less 
carbon compared to road haulage.

Our Purpose in action continued
The rapidly advancing digital economy is driving 
innovation and global connectivity, with data 
centres serving as the essential backbone for digital 
services, including websites, apps, cloud 
computing, business operations and increasingly 
Artificial Intelligence. 
SEGRO is a leading enabler of this critical 
infrastructure with over 20 years’ experience 
delivering powered shell warehouses on the 
Slough Trading Estate. 
The Trading Estate is now home to 31 data centres 
(including one under construction), with a headline 
rent of £55m (8 per cent of the Group), and is 
Europe’s largest cluster of data centres. Proximity, 
Power and Planning are the key elements of a 
successful data centre development strategy and 
the Trading Estate has all three of these, with the 
Simplified Planning Zone creating a significant 
competitive advantage. SEGRO is well placed to 
continue unlocking the data centre potential that 
we have in Slough as well as in other key 
Availability Zones across Europe, with our 2.3GW 
land-enabled power bank. 
Growing European cities increase demand for 
goods and services as well as employment. 
SEGRO is a leading owner and developer of 
modern, sustainable urban warehouse space, 
located on the edge of some of Europe’s largest 
cities. Our spaces are carefully designed to help 
enhance our customers’ performance and deliver 
tangible value for the communities in which they 
are located. 
SEGRO Park Berlin Airport epitomises this 
approach. Located near Berlin Brandenburg 
Airport, we created a park comprising a mix of light 
industrial and logistics warehouses, ranging from 
500 to 17,000 sq m. The park incorporates 
sustainable building practices such as photovoltaic 
systems and market-leading DGNB (German 
Sustainable Building Council) certification. It is now 
home to 77 customers and a greater than 2,000 
strong workforce serving Berlin and beyond.

Chief 
Executive’s 
statement
SEGRO has performed well during 2024. 
Our prime portfolio of modern, sustainable 
warehouses and data centres, located in the 
most attractive and supply-constrained markets 
and managed by our market-leading operating 
platform, has continued to deliver growth. 
We have increased the level of contracted rent 
signed and delivered strong operating metrics, 
despite the macroeconomic and geopolitical 
conditions which impacted wider business 
confidence during parts of 2024. This has been 
possible due to the application of our clear 
strategy to drive performance from our existing 
portfolio, allocate capital into the most profitable 
development and acquisition opportunities, and 
maintain an appropriate and efficient capital 
structure. This consistent strategy has ensured 
that our business is well-placed to take advantage 
of an inflection point in occupier markets.
We are pleased to report a 5.5 per cent increase 
in Adjusted earnings per share and we are 
therefore recommending a 5.4 per cent increase 
in the total distribution to our shareholders to 
29.3 pence for 2024 (2023: 27.8 pence) through 
payment of a 20.2 pence per share final dividend. 
Highlights of the year included:
	– £91 million of new headline rent contracted, 
including £38 million from rent reviews, 
renewals and indexation in the existing portfolio 
as we continue to successfully capture the 
reversion embedded within it. Lease events in 
the UK delivered a record 43 per cent average 
rental uplift from reviews and renewals.
	– Development completions equating to 
£37 million of potential headline rent, of which 
84 per cent has been secured, expected to 
deliver a yield on cost of 6.9 per cent. 97 per cent 
of these projects have been, or are expected 
to be, certified at least BREEAM ‘Excellent’ 
(or local equivalent).
	– Leveraging our local knowledge and strong 
relationships to acquire £431 million of 
highly-reversionary assets in core markets 
with strong growth potential, and recycle 
£896 million of assets and land which offered 
less attractive risk-adjusted returns. 
	– Proactive work to source power connections 
and prepare land to support future data centre 
development with an increase in our power 
bank opportunities to 2.3GW.
	– Continued progress in addressing our carbon 
footprint. In particular, we reduced the average 
embodied carbon intensity of our development 
programme by 4 per cent and doubled our 
installed solar PV capacity to 123MW.
	– Almost 1,000 volunteering days delivered 
from projects associated with our Community 
Investment Plans (we now have 14 following 
the addition of plans in Italy and Spain).
	– £907 million equity raise in February 2024 
which provided us significant firepower to 
invest in profitable growth opportunities in 
2024 and as we head into 2025.

1 	 Proportionally consolidated figures and metrics: SEGRO 
owns assets both wholly itself and through stakes in 
50-50 joint ventures. In the Financial Statements, the 
profit from joint ventures is stated as a single figure in 
the Income Statement and the net asset value of joint 
ventures is stated as a single equity figure on the Balance 
Sheet; Note 7 to the Financial Statements provides the 
component parts of these figures. In operational terms, 
SEGRO does not distinguish between assets held in joint 
ventures from those assets which are wholly-owned. 
Therefore, unless specifically stated, in the Strategic 
Report, performance metrics and financial figures are 
stated reflecting SEGRO’s wholly-owned assets and its 
share of joint venture assets (known commonly as a 
‘proportionally consolidated’ basis). Where the Strategic 
Report refers to the area of a property, it is stated at 100 
per cent of the space, irrespective of whether the 
property is wholly-owned or held in a joint venture.
2	 EPRA and Adjusted metrics: The Financial Statements are 
prepared under IFRS. SEGRO management monitors a 
number of adjusted performance indicators in assessing 
and managing the performance of the business which 
they believe reflect the underlying recurring performance 
of the property rental business which is the Group’s core 
operating activity. These include those defined by EPRA as

A bird’s eye view of 2024
Occupier markets remain in balance 
and are reaching an inflection point
Two-thirds of our portfolio is located in Europe’s 
largest, fastest growing and most densely 
populated cities. Our urban warehouse portfolio 
attracts a highly diverse customer base which 
provide value-add goods and services and which 
need to be within easy reach of their customers 
and skilled employees. These dynamic 
businesses tend to have greater pricing power, 
making them less sensitive to short-term 
macroeconomic factors and more focused 
on harnessing growth.
We experienced good levels of occupier demand 
during 2024, particularly in the final part of the 
year. As a result we added new customers in 
fast-growing sectors such as robotics and 
pharmaceuticals, and saw existing customers 
move into larger premises to meet their growth 
ambitions or into our refurbished and newly 
developed space to suit their wider business 
priorities, not least meeting their sustainability 
ambitions. Our German urban portfolio 
performed particularly well, with strong demand 
for our newly developed space in and around 
some of Germany’s largest cities. Customers 
located in our UK urban markets have been 
discerning around their real estate decision 
making over the past 12 months. Many of them 
are very location sensitive so have renewed 
leases on their existing space, whilst others have 
been expanding. A small number, often lower 
margin businesses or those who can be more 
flexible around location, have opted to move out 
to lower cost more secondary markets but this 
remains limited.
The supply situation in most of our urban 
environments remains tight, meaning that rental 
values continue to rise at more sustainable levels 
than we saw during the pandemic. Land in 
major European cities remains in short supply 
and is shrinking, not least as a result of planning 
regimes which often favour alternative 
property types, most notably residential, and 
green belt land remains very difficult to unlock. 
This has capped the delivery of new speculatively 
built space, which has helped to keep supply of 
new space in our chosen sub-markets in-check. 
The other one-third of our portfolio is big box 
warehouses, located in key logistics hubs and 
along major transportation routes, the most 
strategic locations for customers looking to 
optimise their supply chains and improve 
distribution networks. The pandemic years 
resulted in exceptional demand for this type of 
space. We were always mindful that the levels 
of demand seen during this period were likely to 
be unsustainable and recent macroeconomic 
and geopolitical conditions have accelerated the 
normalisation, resulting in lower pre-let leasing 
volumes during 2024. Despite this, data released 
recently by Savills indicates that European big 
box take-up was 4 per cent higher than the 
pre-pandemic period of 2015–2019.
Supply of big box logistics product continued to 
gradually increase into the first half of 2024 as an 
elevated amount of new speculatively built space 
was delivered. This response was stronger in 
some markets than others: market vacancy rates 
have increased more in the UK and Poland than 
in France and Germany, for example, but they 
remain below historical averages. Lower levels of 
new construction starts over the past 18 months 
have meant that additional supply is now being 
absorbed and vacancy rates have likely peaked 
across most of our markets. Accordingly, the 
supply-demand outlook appears set to 
strengthen from here. 
Across both our urban and big box markets, our 
conversations with customers tell us that they are 
continuing to focus on adapting their businesses 
for increased levels of e-commerce penetration, 
optimising their supply chains (manufacturers 
were the largest takers of space in Europe during 
2024) and improving the carbon footprint of their 
businesses. These structural drivers remain 
important and should result in an acceleration 
of occupier activity, particularly as business 
confidence improves in response to evolving 
macroeconomic conditions and greater 
political certainty. 
Indeed, during the last months of 2024 we saw 
a pick-up in enquiry levels for both our urban and 
big box space across all of our markets. Heading 
into 2025 we therefore have a number of advanced 
conversations for lettings on existing space and 
for pre-lets. 
As a result of these dynamics, we saw continued 
rental growth for prime industrial space at rates 
similar to sustainable, pre-pandemic levels, and 
we expect this to strengthen as occupier 
demand accelerates. 
Standing portfolio driving performance, 
land bank primed and ready to respond to 
pick up in occupier demand
Our focus on Operational excellence has been 
key to unlocking the reversionary potential within 
our portfolio, most of which sits within our UK 
assets. Our prime portfolio and our active 
approach to managing our estates and working 
with our customers has helped us capture a 43 
per cent uplift on rent reviews and renewals in the 
UK (34 per cent across the Group) whilst 
maintaining high levels of retention.
We have continued to take back older, urban 
space when the opportunity arises to refurbish 
and redevelop, helping to ensure that our 
portfolio meets the highest standards, including 
sustainability credentials, which are increasingly 
important to occupiers. This, combined with the 
completion of some speculative schemes that 
we started at the peak of the market, has meant 
that occupancy has reduced to 94 per cent 
(2023: 95 per cent), at the lower end of our target 
94 to 96 per cent range. Around half of this is 
within our London portfolio, where we have 
the most opportunities for such repositioning. 
We are finding that when we return this newly 
refurbished space to market, we are capturing 
significant rental uplifts and letting the space 
faster, showing that this asset management 
activity is creating value. 
Chief Executive’s statement continued
External factors that impact our business
Our business is affected by both cyclical factors 
and structural trends. These impact both our 
occupier markets and the demand for industrial 
and logistics assets in investment markets. In 
the ‘Bird’s Eye View’ section of our CEO 
statement we explain what they meant for our 
business during 2024 and give some thoughts 
on how they will shape it going forward.
Cyclical factors
	– Macroeconomic environment 
	– Interest rate cycle
	– Competitive supply 
 
Structural drivers (see pages 4 to 5)
	– Digitalisation of our economies
	– Urbanisation
	– Supply chain optimisation

Further Information

We generally choose to develop our big box 
schemes on a pre-let basis to limit development 
risk, so reduced pre-let volumes across the 
market in 2024 have resulted in a lower level of 
development completions, development spend 
and new projects than we have seen in recent 
years. We recently commenced a speculative big 
box scheme in Dortmund based on the shortage 
of supply in that region and the encouraging level 
of enquiries that we are seeing, and, based on the 
conversations we are having with occupiers in 
other markets, we expect to see development 
volumes pick up as the year progresses. We have 
continued to progress our speculative urban 
schemes in markets where occupier demand has 
been more buoyant, for example in German urban 
markets such as Berlin, Cologne and Düsseldorf. 
Our development teams have also been working 
hard on preparing future schemes, including 
progressing large-scale infrastructure works at 
our big box developments in Northampton and 
Radlett. We are also actively progressing the data 
centre opportunity within our portfolio, working 
to secure planning and power for the more 
than 2.3GW of opportunities that we have 
identified across Europe – the approval of the 
Simplified Planning Zone on the Slough Trading 
Estate, with its expanded parameters, will provide 
a significant competitive advantage in the 
delivery of several projects.
Liquidity in investment markets has improved 
and asset values appear to have stabilised
Inflation falling back towards central bank targets 
and initial interest rate cuts helped liquidity return 
to investment markets during 2024 and there 
continues to be good investor appetite for 
industrial and logistics assets. 
This has led to higher investment volumes and 
has helped yields to stabilise. Prime yields in 
the UK were flat during 2024 (CBRE prime yield 
remained at 5.25 per cent throughout the year) 
and although there was some small further 
outward yield shift in certain European markets 
in the first six months of the year, most markets 
were stable in the second half of the year. (CBRE 
prime yield France +15 basis points and Germany 
+10 basis points, all in the first six months of 2024).
Finance costs remain elevated which means 
most debt-backed buyers have been active in 
the higher yielding end of the market. This has 
resulted in less capital chasing lower yielding, 
prime assets. Investors have been selective, 
focusing on assets in the best locations with 
the highest sustainability credentials and where 
there is reversionary potential that can be 
captured quickly. 
The outlook for yield and asset valuations is 
notoriously hard to forecast. The recent ‘higher 
rates for longer’ narrative has so far not had a 
discernible impact on investment market liquidity. 
However, as active portfolio managers, we do not 
rely on yield compression but aim to create value 
across the property cycle through asset and 
portfolio management and driving rental growth. 
Allocating our capital into the opportunities 
with the most attractive risk-adjusted returns
We remained disciplined in our allocation of 
capital during 2024. Although quieter pre-let 
markets across Europe resulted in lower 
investment into development than anticipated, 
we took advantage of investment market 
conditions and attractive pricing to acquire assets 
in our core markets which offer potential for 
strong mid-term returns. 
Our investment teams used their local market 
knowledge and strong relationships to identify 
opportunities to acquire high-quality assets in 
prime markets, where we have less land (and 
therefore less development opportunity), which 
complement our existing portfolio and offer 
strong rental growth potential.
We were also agile in our recycling of capital, 
completing almost £900 million of disposals. 
Around half of these were sales of assets and 
land where we had identified special or motivated 
purchasers, crystallising very attractive profits 
versus book value. We also sold other assets that 
we had identified during our annual asset review 
process as having weaker future returns potential. 
Chief Executive’s statement continued
During the year, we made an all-share offer to 
acquire Tritax Eurobox plc, an externally managed 
REIT with a portfolio of high-quality big box 
warehouses in Continental Europe, whose 
shares had consistently traded at a significant 
discount to its net asset value. Although we were 
unsuccessful in buying the company due to a 
rival, higher, offer, we instead negotiated a 
transaction with the eventual purchaser on 
behalf of our joint venture, SELP, for six assets 
in Germany and the Netherlands, exchanging 
contracts in January 2025 and we expect to 
complete on this transaction later in the first 
quarter. This is the part of the portfolio over which 
we had the most conviction and our decision not 
to counterbid reflects our determination to 
maintain capital discipline. 
Balance sheet remains strong with plenty 
of firepower
Our balance sheet is in great shape, with 
moderate leverage and limited near-term 
refinancing requirements. In the past six months, 
we have taken advantage of liquidity in debt 
capital markets to issue an eight-year €500 million 
Eurobond from SEGRO and a seven-year 
Eurobond from SELP at coupons of 3.5 and 
3.75 per cent, respectively, which have extended 
our average debt maturities and had only a 
modest impact on our 2.5 per cent weighted 
average cost of debt.
We raised £907 million through an equity placing 
in February 2024, to deploy into the most 
attractive development and investment 
opportunities as activity in occupier markets 
picks up. This, alongside the proceeds of 
disposals, provides us with significant firepower 
for continued investment.
Recent acquisitions, deliberate portfolio 
management and our ongoing development 
pipeline have allowed us to achieve critical mass 
in most of our markets, which means we will be 
able to deliver increased operational leverage as 
we grow our business. We have also been 
investing in developing our digital capabilities to 
drive cost efficiency and create a more scalable, 
technology-enabled platform.
Significant value creation opportunity 
in data centres
One area that continues to grow regardless of the 
macroeconomic environment is the data centre 
sector, which is being driven by the exponential 
growth in demand for data as consumers 
digitalise their day-to-day lives, and companies 
increasingly use data to drive their businesses 
and move to cloud-based technology solutions. 
The growth of generative artificial intelligence is 
also seeing very significant investment into data 
centres by so-called ‘hyperscalers’. 
Demand for data centres comes from two 
main sources:
	– Cloud: businesses are increasingly transitioning 
their IT infrastructure to data centres, ideally 
with low latency, enabling applications for end 
user businesses and consumers to be run 
remotely instead of running software and 
storing data locally. This demand is typically 
focused on Availability Zones. 
	– Artificial Intelligence: this is expected to drive 
significant growth. Many of the large hyperscalers 
(such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and 
Google) have announced significant investment 
into their European data centre capacity over 
recent months. The ‘inference’ (user-interface) 
element of this demand is likely to focus on key 
Availability Zones but the ‘generative’ (machine-
learning) element can happen in more remote 
locations where power is more readily available.
Supply of new data centres is limited by a lack 
of power infrastructure, a shortage of land and 
restrictive planning permissions in key Availability 
Zones across Europe – which in turn is driving 
strong rental growth and high land values.
We have chosen to focus our data centre 
investment on key Availability Zones, close to 
major urban conurbations and aligned with our 
existing urban footprint, which means that we are 
positioned to benefit from both growth in the 
Cloud as well as the ‘inference’ elements of AI 
that require close proximity to end users. It also 
means we retain maximum flexibility in this 
fast-evolving space.

Chief Executive’s statement continued
We have been active in this market for over 20 
years, mainly providing powered shells to some 
of the world’s largest data centre operators. Our 
existing data centre portfolio (including projects 
under development) currently represents over 
0.5GW of capacity and the rental income equates 
to 8 per cent of our headline rent. Today, the vast 
majority of this installed capacity is on SEGRO’s 
Slough Trading Estate which we believe to be the 
largest hub of data centres in Europe. We have 
used the knowledge and expertise, and customer 
relationships developed through the creation of 
this cluster to identify similar opportunities across 
our portfolio where we have secured, or believe 
we can secure, planning and power. 
The total opportunity set or ‘power bank’ on sites 
we own where we have, or believe, we can secure 
power equates to 2.3GW of potential capacity, 
including the 0.5GW in respect of existing data 
centres which are operational or under 
construction. We expect to add to this over time 
as our teams work hard to secure the necessary 
power and planning permissions. The Simplified 
Planning Zone status of the Slough Trading 
Estate already provides a significant competitive 
advantage in respect of planning on several of 
these sites. 
As we already mentioned, our preferred data 
centre model to date has been to develop pre-let 
powered shells: we provide the real estate and 
arrange, with our partners, the power capacity 
and our customers fit out and operate or 
sub-lease the space themselves. All of our 
lettings have been to co-locators so far, but we 
are having active conversations with hyperscalers 
for some of our larger sites.
We expect this approach will continue to be 
used for certain opportunities within our 
pipeline. However, as the data centre market 
and our own opportunity set has evolved and 
grown, we see significant potential to create 
value through developing fully-fitted data 
centres, initially working alongside partners 
who will provide the operational expertise. 
As always we will take a disciplined approach to 
our capital allocation choices, seeking to deliver 
the most attractive risk-adjusted returns on 
every opportunity.
During 2024, we sold a land holding in 
Continental Europe where we had obtained 
planning permission and secured a large 
allocation of power, in a location not aligned with 
our view of the core Availability Zones. We were 
able to crystallise a significant profit on cost, 
whilst taking no development risk. We also 
realised an attractive 100 per cent profit on 
development cost from the sale, to an occupier, 
of two long-leased data centres in Slough with 
limited medium-term growth potential. We also 
invested in expanding our pipeline of opportunities 
by securing and progressing additional power 
connections across Europe. 
Committed to creating value for all 
of our stakeholders
Our Responsible SEGRO ambitions remain 
embedded in the way we do business, and we 
continue to work hard towards achieving the 
challenging targets that we have set ourselves. 
We remain committed to our low-carbon growth 
goal: reducing the embodied carbon in our 
development programme, improving the energy 
efficiency of our buildings and increasing the 
solar capacity of our portfolio. During 2024 we 
maintained the improvements in the carbon 
intensity of our standing assets and reduced the 
average embodied carbon intensity of our 
development programme to 318 kgCO2e/sq m 
(a reduction of 4 per cent versus our new 2023 
baseline). We also more than doubled our installed 
solar capacity to 123MW by installing photovoltaic 
arrays on existing buildings as well as new 
developments, and have launched a new Energy 
Strategy to encourage consistency across the 
Group and ensure that we can provide the power 
our customers increasingly need. Recognising 
that this is a fast-evolving area, we have updated 
our carbon reduction targets based on the latest 
guidance, introducing a new long-term science-
based target to be net-zero by 2050.

We have strong 
conviction in the 
enduring nature of 
the structural trends 
supporting demand 
for our space – 
digitalisation, 
urbanisation, supply 
chain optimisation and 
sustainability – and take 
confidence from the 
recent pick up in 
sentiment.”
David Sleath, 
Chief Executive Officer
Our Community Investment Plans (CIPs) continue 
to grow in number and size, and during 2024 we 
launched schemes in Italy and Spain, taking the 
number of plans to 14, with community projects 
in 21 regions, cities and towns across our 
portfolio. Our employees, customers, suppliers 
and other stakeholders worked together to 
deliver almost 1,000 volunteering days in our 
local communities. The impact of our CIPs on the 
communities near our assets is significant and 
they embed our buildings as local centres of 
economic success, helping to create employment 
opportunities for local people and improving the 
environment and local amenities for local 
residents. This focus on sharing the long-term 
benefits of our estates with our local communities 
positions us as a preferred partner for local 
authorities and is instrumental in creating future 
opportunities, demonstrated by the successful 
renewal of the Simplified Planning Zone in Slough. 
Our people are vital to our ongoing success and 
Nurturing talent therefore remains a key area of 
focus. During 2024 we completed the reshaping 
of our leadership team and continued to invest in 
the development of our employees. Within our 
hiring, at these senior levels and across the 
broader organisation, we have been deliberate in 
creating a diverse talent pool and this has helped 
us make progress against both of our diversity 
goals, increasing the number of women and 
ethnic minorities in senior leadership roles by 
3 per cent and 1 per cent respectively. We also 
introduced a range of new family-friendly policies.
Positioning our business for long-term success
The continued growth and strong operational 
results produced by our business during 2024, 
despite the macro environment, has shown that 
our strategy to focus on the most demand-resilient 
and supply-constrained markets can deliver 
consistent results throughout the property cycle. 
During the peak of the market, which was 
amplified by the pandemic, occupier and 
investor demand was exceptionally strong for 
industrial and logistics, fuelled by a very low 
interest rate environment which meant that 
returns were significantly driven by yield 
compression and elevated levels of development. 
The current environment is more ‘normal’, so 
we are focused on executing our long-held 
strategy to extract the best returns from our 
existing portfolio and opportunities in our control. 
We believe that the quality of our portfolio, and 
the strength of our operating platform – with its 
significant market experience, local knowledge 
and strong stakeholder relationships – will 
deliver stronger risk-adjusted returns than the 
wider market. 
This platform, and the people within it, have 
been vital to our ability to get deals done, create 
new opportunities and deliver growth for our 
stakeholders this year and I would like to thank 
everyone at SEGRO for their hard work and 
contributions to our performance during 2024. I am 
proud of what we have achieved, facing challenges 
head on and constantly innovating to find new ways 
of getting things done, while keeping one eye on 
the horizon and ensuring that our business is ready 
to take advantage of the opportunities that present 
themselves over the coming years. It is this 
dedication and focus, that will ensure we continue 
to deliver on our Purpose of creating the space 
that enables extraordinary things to happen.
Outlook
We enter 2025 with confidence in SEGRO’s 
prospects for further growth. Our portfolio is 
of irreplicable quality, having been purposefully 
curated over the past 15 years. Two-thirds of it 
is located in Europe’s largest cities, with the 
remaining one-third strategically located near 
logistics hubs and along key transportation 
corridors. Our chosen markets have a shortage 
of modern, sustainable space with low land 
availability and restrictive planning policies 
limiting the supply of competing space. 
We have strong conviction that demand for our 
space will continue to be supported by powerful, 
enduring structural trends: data and digitalisation, 
urbanisation, supply chain optimisation and 
sustainability. Sentiment in occupier markets is 
improving and we saw a pick up in occupier activity 
during the final months of the year, as evidenced 
by our strong leasing activity in the last quarter. 
This momentum has carried into the early weeks 
of 2025, and we take confidence from the 
positive conversations we are having with our 
customers across all of our markets. 
Our portfolio is full of current and future 
opportunity. We have the potential to:
	– secure £173 million of additional rental income 
from our standing portfolio through capturing 
the existing rent reversion (£118 million) and 
leasing vacant space (£55 million);
	– deliver £422 million of new rent from 
development on our exceptional land bank 
located in the most attractive markets, with a 
profitable yield on cost of 7 to 8 per cent; and,
	– continue delivering compounding annual 
rental growth on our portfolio in line with our 
long-standing guidance of 2 to 6 per cent per 
annum, thus growing rents faster than inflation.
Our track record in creating Europe’s largest hub 
of data centres in Slough, with over 0.5GW of 
capacity either operational or under construction, 
has helped us to develop strong relationships 
with global data centre players, which provide us 
with unique insights into this exciting, high-
growth opportunity. 
We have built a landbank with exceptional access 
to 2.3GW of potential power in Europe’s key 
Availability Zones. As well as building powered 
shells, we recognise the potential to create 
significant additional value from the development 
of fully-fitted data centres in select locations, with 
projects currently under active consideration.
Our business is therefore well-placed for 
further attractive, compounding growth in 
earnings and dividends in the years ahead, with 
significant additional value upside from our data 
centre pipeline.

ESG reporting and ratings
We recognise that transparency around our 
sustainability performance is essential to building 
trust with our stakeholders.
As the wider Environmental, Social and 
Governance (ESG) reporting environment is 
evolving, we continually monitor our approach 
to ensure that we are aligned to, and engaged 
with, the most relevant frameworks in order to 
provide clear, reliable, and meaningful disclosures 
to meet the needs of our investors, customers, 
employees, and communities, whilst 
demonstrating our performance against 
our Responsible SEGRO framework. 
This currently includes reporting against 
established frameworks including the Global 
Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Task Force on 
Climate-related Financial Disclosures project 
(TCFD), as well as the National Equality Standard, 
Parker Review and FTSE Women Leaders. 
In addition, we expect to report against EU 
sustainability reporting standards when these 
become mandatory for us. 
We also engage with various organisations who 
review and assess our ESG performance and 
disclosures. This includes agencies that monitor 
our disclosures, such as MSCI, who rate us AAA, 
as well as organisations that require active 
participation and additional transparency, such 
as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), who rate 
us A. We also participate in indices such as 
FTSE4Good, who rate us at 3.3 (2.8 sub-sector 
average). The above are SEGRO’s latest ratings 
at the time of publication.
How we deliver on our  
Responsible SEGRO goals
We have long-held commitments to leadership 
in health and safety, stakeholder engagement, 
corporate governance and being a good 
corporate citizen.
Our Responsible SEGRO framework helps us 
to articulate our sustainability goals and address 
our stakeholders’ most material concerns. 
Within this we have focused in on three 
enduring strategic priorities, which were 
determined through engagement with our 
stakeholders. These priorities cover the areas 
where we believe we can make the greatest 
business, environmental and social contribution.
They are:
Championing low-carbon growth 
Investing in our local communities 
and environments
Nurturing talent 
For each of these areas we have established 
challenging targets that are linked to four 
non-financial KPIs and to the annual bonus 
for all employees.
We report a summary of our progress with 
these during 2024 in the following section and 
discuss our priorities for 2025 – more detailed 
information (along with full datasets) can be 
found in our 2024 Responsible SEGRO Report. 
We intend to set additional, more specific, 
supporting targets as necessary and expect 
our actions and approach to evolve over time 
to reflect our achievement, technological 
change and the priorities of our stakeholders 
and wider society.

Our materiality assessment
In 2024, we performed a comprehensive double 
materiality analysis. 
This helped us identify and understand two key 
aspects: first, how our operations affect society 
and the environment, and second, how 
sustainability issues create financial risks and 
opportunities for our business. This dual 
approach looked at both our impact on the 
world and how sustainability factors influence 
our financial performance, and form the basis 
of our sustainability reporting.
Our context: value chain
Our stakeholders
1. 
Our context 
 
	– Our Business model, and our 
strategy to apply it, are outlined on 
page 16.
	– Our value chain represents the 
process through which we execute 
the strategy and where this may 
affect our stakeholders.
2. 
Our stakeholders 
 
	– Our key stakeholders, aligned to our 
value chain, are outlined in pages 18 
to 20.
	– Primary and secondary research 
informed our understanding of the 
impacts on these stakeholders from 
our business and value chain.
3. 
Our material impacts,  
risks and opportunities 
 
	– Potential impacts, risks and 
opportunities were identified 
based on engagement with our 
stakeholders.
	– Materiality of identified impacts, 
risks and opportunities, for both 
the business and our stakeholders 
was assessed.
4. 
Our material areas 
 
	– Our Executive Committee and Audit 
Committee monitor and oversee 
the process to identify material 
impacts, risks and opportunities.
	– Material impacts, risks and 
opportunities were mapped to 
areas of sustainability that are 
material for us to disclose 
information on our activities.
The process we followed
SEGRO’s key stakeholders are those without 
whom we simply would not have a business. 
Relationships with these stakeholders are 
underpinned by a corporate culture which 
promotes high standards of business ethics, 
is focused on a long-term sustainable strategy 
and which recognises our responsibilities to 
the environment.
Our materiality assessment was designed to 
consider both positive and negative, and actual 
and potential, impacts on all affected stakeholders, 
and that user stakeholders should have sufficient 
information to allow them to assess SEGRO 
appropriately from an ESG perspective. The focus 
of our business in European developed markets 
means that we do not consider there to be 
material differences related to the geography 
of our stakeholders.

SEGRO’s net-zero journey
Through the 2015 Paris Agreement, world 
governments committed to restricting global 
temperature rise to well-below 2°C above 
pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit 
warming to 1.5°C. In 2018, the Intergovernmental 
Panel on Climate Change warned that global 
warming must not exceed 1.5°C to avoid the 
catastrophic impacts of climate change. As an 
owner, manager and developer of buildings, 
we have a significant part to play in tackling 
this challenge.
Championing low-carbon growth is one of our 
three Responsible SEGRO strategic priorities. 
We have had our carbon footprint data externally 
assured annually since 2014. The carbon reduction 
targets we set in 2021 were approved under the 
international Science Based Targets Initiative 
(SBTi). The SBTi methodology identifies pathways 
for companies to reduce the emissions within 
their value chains to align with 1.5°C pathways.
As can be seen in the chart in the bottom right, 
the two largest contributors to our carbon 
emissions are energy use in our spaces (our 
‘corporate and customer’ carbon emissions) 
and the energy connected to the materials that 
we use in our construction and refurbishment 
projects (our ‘embodied’ carbon emissions). 
Together these accounted for 86 per cent of 
our emissions in 2024. 
Since 2021, we consistently tracked ahead of our 
targets, achieving significant reductions in both 
corporate and customer carbon intensity and 
embodied carbon intensity. 
SEGRO’s pathway to net-zero
The SBTi launched a new ‘Buildings’ framework 
in 2024; as our existing targets were due for 
renewal, we have used this framework to update 
our net-zero targets. Our targets have a baseline 
of 2023, a near-term target of 2034 and a net-zero 
target year of 2050. The target trajectories are 
steeper to 2034, then shallower out to 2050. 
The near-term 2034 targets are a 81 per cent 
reduction in corporate and customer emissions 
intensity and a 58 per cent reduction in the 
embodied emissions intensity of our developments. 
Once our 2050 target year is reached, the SBTi 
target methodology allows for offsetting residual 
emissions with best practice carbon removals, 
accounting for a maximum of 10 per cent of 
target emissions. 
Creating a new baseline has provided us with 
the opportunity to bring emission calculation 
methodologies in line with the latest best 
practice. This means that the 2023 figures herein 
are a restatement of our previously reported 
figures. The detail of these changes can be 
found in our Responsible SEGRO Report 2024. 
We are committed to making a commensurate 
and ambitious contribution to limiting global 
warming. However, not all of the actions needed 
to meet our targets are within our control, and 
carbon accounting methodologies are still 
evolving. Setting and publicising carbon 
reduction targets are crucial elements of carbon 
governance, and we are committed to being 
transparent about our journey. 
Key elements of our carbon reduction strategy 
are presented to the right. 
Corporate and customer emissions:
	– Purchase certified renewable electricity for 
SEGRO’s own use and for those customers for 
whom we procure energy on their behalf. 
	– Where customers do procure their own energy 
(the majority of cases), encourage them to 
procure certified renewable electricity and 
track uptake – using our ‘green lease’ clauses
	– Replace fossil fuel heating systems with 
efficient electrical heating 
	– Install solar panels to generate energy for our 
customers, optimise this usage with batteries 
and microgrid technology, and, where grid 
connectivity allows, feed into the local 
electricity network 
	– Improve the energy efficiency of our units 
through construction and refurbishment by 
targeting an Energy Performance Certificate 
of B-grade or better

Championing low-carbon growth in 2024 
We are committed to driving carbon out of our 
business as quickly as we can and also help our 
customers reduce their own carbon footprints. 
We focus our carbon reduction activity on the 
areas which are most material. 86 per cent of 
our emissions come from our customers and 
our development programme. 
A key achievement during 2024 was the 
establishment of new, science-based, net-zero 
carbon targets. In doing so we created a new 
emissions forecasting process, introduced a 
dynamic Governance process of our carbon 
management efforts, and transitioned to a powerful 
new carbon reporting platform to help us to more 
efficiently manage the thousands of gas and 
electricity datapoints and to use sophisticated 
estimation methods to fill any gaps. We also took the 
opportunity to rigorously review and implement best 
practice reporting methodologies at the same time.
This activity has resulted in the new net-zero 
targets outlined on the previous page. 
During 2024 we reduced the average embodied 
carbon intensity of our development programme 
by 4 per cent versus the newly created baseline. 
Our Mandatory Sustainability Policy commits us 
to carry out embodied carbon assessments for 
practically all our development projects and we 
work closely with our suppliers to innovate and 
remove carbon wherever possible. 
Having made great strides in corporate and 
customer carbon reduction between 2020 and 
2023 under our old targets, we have seen a 
1 per cent increase in our corporate and customer 
carbon intensity during 2024 under our new 
target methodology. Our success in bringing 
forward our data centre pipeline is a key part of 
this story. Adjusting for data centres, the rest 
of our portfolio achieved a reduction in carbon 
intensity of approximately 4 per cent.
Our data centre customers are on a journey to 
net-zero themselves, with commitments to reach 
100 per cent renewable electricity by 2030. Our 
emissions are tracking their publicly stated uptake 
of renewable electricity tariffs, which is for most 
not yet at 100 per cent. However, this is consistent 
with our commitment to an 81 per cent reduction 
by 2034, and we will continue to work closely 
with all our customers to do what we can to help 
them make good progress on that commitment. 
Beyond our approach to carbon, we also think 
carefully about the impact of our operations on 
other natural resources and the local environment. 
Biodiversity remains an important focus, and our 
development projects aim to have a positive 
impact on our local communities. Although water 
usage is not material for SEGRO, we are careful in 
our consumption of it and build in features that 
help our customers use it more efficiently. 
Finally, the vast majority of our waste is created 
by our construction and demolition projects. 
We work carefully with our construction partners 
to minimise this, for example through ensuring 
that they maximise reuse opportunities.
Key targets and achievements
	– 4 per cent reduction in the embodied carbon 
intensity of our developments.
	– 8 per cent increase in the visibility we have 
of our customer energy data.
	– 76 per cent of the portfolio with an EPC rating 
of B or better (2023: 65 percent).
	– 97 per cent of our development completions 
were rated BREEAM ‘Excellent’ or higher.
	– A record 64 MW increase in our installed 
solar capacity.
	– Implemented an annual corporate and 
customer emissions forecasting process.
	– Introduced a dynamic Governance process 
of our carbon management efforts.
	– Rolled out a powerful new carbon reporting 
platform.
	– Drive further reductions in our corporate and 
customer emissions.
	– Increase the automation of the retrieval of 
our customers’ energy data.
	– Replace gas with efficient low-carbon 
heat sources.
	– Work with our supply chain partners to 
further reduce embodied carbon. 
	– Progress our large-scale solar installation 
strategy.
	– Prepare for reporting against the new 
European Sustainability Reporting Standards.

The impact of our Community Investment 
Plans during 2024
Enabling the communities that live close to our 
assets to thrive is something we are incredibly 
passionate about. We are committed to building 
and nurturing long-term relationships with local 
organisations that can enable us to have a 
positive impact in the areas where we have a 
major presence. We focus on two main areas 
with our projects:
	– Education and employment: partnering with 
local education establishments to help prepare 
young people for the world of work through 
our education programme, as well as helping 
people from disadvantaged or marginalised 
backgrounds into employment or better jobs. 
Since its launch in 2022, the programme has 
engaged over 25,000 young people from 
diverse backgrounds in the UK, Poland, 
Germany and France.
	– Environment: delivering environmental 
projects that improve the biodiversity of the 
local area and the health and wellbeing of the 
local community. 
Volunteering is a vital part of the success 
of our Community Investment Plans (CIPs). 
Our employees, customers and suppliers have 
proved once again the incredible impact they 
can have when they come together with a shared 
goal of improving the lives of local people. During 
2024 a total of 437 employees (94 per cent of the 
workforce) participated, delivering 700 
volunteering days. 
Alongside our employees we had a tremendous 
response from customers and suppliers, by 
providing volunteers to mentor and host school 
visits to their businesses or construction sites, as 
well as support projects that helped improve the 
environment for local communities. A total of 154 
customers and suppliers, as well as our financial 
stakeholders, worked in partnership with us. 
Alongside our CIPs, our buildings also play an 
important role in supporting our local communities. 
Our estates provide valuable space for charity 
partners such as City Harvest, Slough Foodbank 
and the Felix Project to distribute food that would 
otherwise be wasted to vulnerable people in our 
local communities.

We want them to work in a healthy, safe and 
secure environment so have a comprehensive 
health and safety training programme and 
initiatives to support employee wellbeing. We 
have appropriate support, training and facilities 
for employees who are disabled or become 
disabled whilst in our employment.
To help us retain the best people we offer 
competitive compensation packages that 
include variable compensation, share award 
and a range of attractive benefits. We want our 
people to thrive in their roles and offer various 
training and development opportunities as well 
as secondments.
Particular areas of focus in 2024 included:
	– Building strong leadership. We completed the 
significant reshaping of our senior leadership 
and focused on supporting these leaders as 
they transitioned into new roles. 
	– Continuing on our journey to build a more 
diverse and inclusive SEGRO. We are 
committed to building an inclusive workplace 
where everyone is treated with fairness and 
respect, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, age, 
educational and professional background, 
religion and beliefs, and sexual orientation. 
Our focus during 2024 was on building a more 
diverse workforce that better reflects the 
communities we are part of. We have increased 
the number of women in senior leadership 
roles to 36 per cent (from 33 per cent in 2023) 
and have ambitions to go further. We have set 
ourselves a target to have women in 40 per cent 
of our senior leadership roles by end 2025, 
and 15 per cent representation of people 
identifying as being from an ethnic minority 
group by the end of 2027.
The 466 people that we employ across nine 
countries are vital to SEGRO’s ongoing success. 
We are therefore committed to attracting talented 
people to work with us and creating a workplace 
where everyone can thrive. Creating the space 
for extraordinary things to happen is as true for 
our people as it is for our assets. 
We expect our people to follow the highest 
standards of business conduct in their daily 
work and this is set out in our Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics. 
	– Celebrating our strong culture. Our people 
tell us they enjoy working at SEGRO. During 
2024 we focused on embedding our Values 
and Behaviours into all of our people processes, 
including changes to how we think about 
performance.
	– Enhancing our colleague proposition. We 
launched new and enhanced family-friendly 
policies, which are designed to support our 
people during key moments of their lives. 
UK Gender and Ethnicity Pay and Bonus Gap
Whilst SEGRO continues to report a gender 
pay gap above that of the National Average, the 
pay gap is improving. Both mean and median 
ordinary pay gaps are decreasing each year, as 
well as the bonus gap compared to last year’s 
analysis. This can be directly attributed to the 
increased representation of women in more 
senior roles. Whilst the mean ethnicity pay gap 
has increased in 2024, the median has reduced 
to 19.9 per cent (a 2.5 per cent decrease). 
The ethnicity bonus gap has also reduced on 
both a mean and a median basis. As SEGRO 
continues to progress towards its target of 
40 per cent female representation, and 15 per cent 
representation of those identifying as being from 
an ethnic minority group, these gaps should 
continue to narrow.

Say it like it is
We always give honest feedback, keep our promises 
and keep messaging clear and simple.
Stand side by side
We work together and put the interests of our business 
ahead of our own. We go out of our way to support 
each other and share knowledge across the business. 
If the door is closed…
If one route is closed to us, we always find another 
way. We challenge ourselves to think differently and 
search for new ways to succeed.
Keep one eye on the horizon 
We constantly look ahead to ensure we are successful 
in the future. We do this in part by taking an active 
interest in our customers and their customers. 
Does it make the boat go faster? 
We keep things simple and continue to 
look for improvements to how we work.

Creating spaces 
that enhance our 
local communities 
and protect the 
environment
We cannot be the best property company 
without a strong social responsibility. Responsible 
SEGRO is embedded into the day-to-day running 
of our business and all of our decision making. 
This helps us to ensure that our business remains 
fit for the future and delivers long-term benefits 
for all of our stakeholders.
Our Purpose in action
Our Community Investment Plans have 
been created to ensure that the communities 
around our assets thrive, with a focus on projects 
that create education and employment 
opportunities as well as help to improve the 
local environment. 
At SEGRO Park Berlin Airport we are working 
with Ackerhelden machen Schule to educate the 
next generation with a raised vegetable garden 
that will provide organic food for children’s 
homes in Berlin and teach them about the ease 
of preparing nutritious meals. We are also 
working with SOS Children Villages Berlin and 
some of the customers on the estate to educate 
young and disadvantaged adults about the world 
of work. These businesses open their doors for 
tours and introductions to the types of jobs and 
apprenticeships they offer. Finally, in 
collaboration with Plant-my-Tree we planted 
1,000 trees in a forest outside of Berlin.
Reducing embodied carbon emitted by 
our development programme will be key in 
achieving our net-zero targets and is particularly 
important in our logistics parks that involve large 
infrastructure works, like at SEGRO Logistics Park 
East Midlands Gateway. 
The 700-acre site was former farmland which 
required levelling and this was completed with 
zero waste transported offsite. Instead, the 
earthworks created large bunds that surround 
the estate and help to shield local communities. 
300 acres of the site remains a public Country 
Park and includes 14km of hedgerow, 17km of 
pathways and 50,000 trees.
All of the buildings were designed to the highest 
sustainability standards and embodied carbon 
calculations helped us to reduce the carbon 
emitted during their development. 
Our customers’ carbon emissions form part of 
our carbon footprint and we are actively trying to 
reduce them. This is particularly important for 
our data centre customers whose operations 
require a significant amount of electricity.
We design our data centre shells to the highest 
sustainability standards, providing our 
customers with energy efficient buildings 
bespoke to their requirements. 
We introduced green lease clauses in 2023 
which require our customers to commit to 
securing renewable energy tariffs. Our major 
data centre customers are on their own net-zero 
journey (with the Climate Neutral Data Centre 
Pact committing them to 100 per cent green 
electricity by 2030).
Most of the data centres on the Slough Trading 
Estate use air cooling so are not heavy users of 
water, making the sourcing of renewable power 
even more important.

Key performance indicators
We measure our success by tracking Key 
Performance Indicators (KPIs) that reflect 
our strategic, operational and financial 
progress and performance. They drive 
the internal management of the business, 
and some are used to determine how 
management and employees are 
remunerated.
Financial
All our financial KPIs are based on 
proportionally consolidated metrics 
incorporating our share of joint ventures 
and associates.
1.	 The TPR has been calculated independently by 
MSCI Real Estate in order to provide a consistent 
comparison with an appropriate MSCI benchmark. 
It is calculated as the change in capital value, 
less any capital expenditure incurred, plus net 
income, expressed as a percentage of capital 
employed over the period concerned for 
standing investments held throughout the year, 
excluding land.
Description 
TSR measures the change in our share price over 
the year, assuming that dividends paid are reinvested. 
This reflects our commitment to delivering enhanced 
returns for our shareholders through executing our 
strategy over the medium term. TSR is a key metric used 
in setting the long-term incentive plan remuneration for 
both the Executive Directors and senior managers.
Description 
TPR is the ungeared combined income and capital 
return from our portfolio of standing investments held 
throughout the year. It is an important measure of 
the success of our strategy in terms of asset selection 
and management. MSCI Real Estate prepares the 
calculation, as well as providing benchmark TPR data 
for similar properties in their wider universe. We aim to 
outperform the benchmark over the long term. Details 
on how TPR impacts short- and long-term incentives 
are provided on pages 123 to 131.
Description 
TAR is the growth in Adjusted NAV per share plus 
dividends paid, expressed as a percentage of Adjusted 
NAV per share at 31 December 2023. It measures the 
return on capital and is a key metric used in setting the 
long-term incentive plan remuneration for both the 
Executive Directors and senior managers.
Our performance 
TSR was -18.3 per cent, compared with -12.4 per cent 
for the FTSE 350 Real Estate index. This reflects a 
combination of the 28.2 pence dividend (19.1 pence 
2023 final dividend and 9.1 pence 2024 interim 
dividend) paid during the year, and a decrease in the 
share price from 886.4 pence at 31 December 2023 to 
701.2 pence at 31 December 2024. The majority of this 
underperformance happened in the last quarter.
Our performance 
The TPR of the Group’s standing assets held 
throughout 2024 was 5.2 per cent (2023: -0.5 per cent). 
The UK portfolio generated a TPR of 5.9 per cent, 
behind the benchmark calculated by MSCI Real Estate 
UK All Industrial Quarterly of 8.3 per cent. The TPR of 
our Continental Europe portfolio was 4.0 per cent. 
Benchmark data for Continental Europe will be received 
later in the year.
Our performance 
The TAR for the Group was 3.1 per cent (2023: -3.3 per cent). 
This performance reflects a combination of a flat 
Adjusted NAV at 907 pence and the 28.2 pence dividend 
(19.1 pence 2023 final dividend and 9.1 pence 2024 
interim dividend) paid during the year.

Key performance indicators continued
Description 
Our Adjusted EPS reflects earnings from our operating 
business: rental income less operating, administrative 
and financing costs and tax. It is the primary determinant 
of the level of the annual dividend. IFRS EPS includes 
the impact of realised and unrealised changes in the 
valuation of our assets, which can often mask the 
underlying operating performance. The reconciliation 
between Basic EPS and Adjusted EPS can be found in 
Note 12(i) on page 161.
Description 
The headline annualised rent contracted during the 
year less income lost from takebacks. There are two 
elements: to grow income from our standing assets by 
reducing vacancy and increasing rents from lease 
renewals and rent reviews; and to generate new rent by 
developing buildings, either on a pre-let or speculative 
basis. Rent from acquisitions is not included.
Description 
Borrowings as a proportion of our portfolio value, 
including joint ventures and associates at share. 
The timing of investment decisions and disposals, 
as well as the movement in the value of our assets, 
may cause the LTV to fluctuate. We believe that REITs 
with lower through-cycle leverage offer a lower risk and 
less volatile investment proposition for shareholders. 
Our performance 
Adjusted EPS increased by 5.5 per cent to 34.5 pence 
during the year, reflecting higher rental income from our 
standing assets and new income from acquisitions and 
developments, partially offset by higher financing costs.
Our performance 
In total, we generated £56 million of net new annualised 
rent during the year (2023: £65 million). The decrease 
was driven by a lower number of pre-lets signed during 
the year (£20 million versus £27 million in 2023) as 
occupier sentiment was impacted by the macroeconomic 
environment and also due to a higher level of takebacks.
Our performance 
Our LTV ratio reduced to 28 per cent during 2024. With 
the value of our portfolio broadly unchanged during the 
period, this was mostly due to our £907 million equity 
placing in February and a lower level of net investment 
due to a higher number of asset and land disposals. 
This gives us plenty of liquidity to fund both visible 
investment and potential opportunities that may arise.

Non-financial
Our non-financial KPIs help to measure the 
shared value our business creates to ensure 
that our business is positioned for long-
term success.
Our non-financial KPIs link to our 
Responsible SEGRO strategic priorities. 
Given where we are in our journey towards 
these goals we anticipate that our non-
financial KPIs will evolve as we progress 
towards our stated ambitions. 
Key performance indicators continued
Employee engagement  %
86%
Customer satisfaction  %
86%
What it is 
The percentage of our customers who rate their 
experience as occupiers of our buildings as ‘good’ 
or ‘excellent’ as opposed to ‘poor’ or ‘average’. Our 
customers are at the heart of our business and we 
strive to ensure that we are providing the best level 
of service possible to maximise customer retention.
What it is 
We carry out an employee survey annually asking all our 
people to comment on various aspects of their work at 
SEGRO. We share the results of this with the Board, 
Leadership team and all our people.
Description 
We have a strong track record of supporting local 
communities. We now have 14 Community Investment 
Plans across the Group and measure the number of 
employees who volunteered in projects (including on 
our annual Day of Giving) associated with them.
Our performance 
Satisfaction as an occupier of our buildings was 
rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ by 86 per cent of the 355 
customers who participated in 2024 (2023: 86 per cent). 
The continued high satisfaction rate reflects our 
focus on communication, being responsive and 
understanding the needs of our customers and is 
particularly pleasing given the cost pressures that 
some of them are under (including rental increases).
Our performance 
Our 2024 employee engagement score was 86 per cent. 
95 per cent of our people responded and 87 per cent 
of employees said that they are proud to work at SEGRO. 
89 per cent of employees believe that all people are 
valued at SEGRO, regardless of gender, ethnicity, 
disability, sexual orientation or background.
Our performance 
During 2024 we delivered 700 employee volunteering 
days. 437 employees (94 per cent of the workforce) did 
at least one day of volunteering. Alongside this 154 
customers, suppliers and financial stakeholders 
delivered a further 273 days.

Description 
Our corporate and customer carbon emissions cover 
our own operations under Scope 1 and 2 and our 
customer emissions under Scope 3. We have visibility 
of 87 per cent of the energy use from our buildings by 
floorspace. For buildings where we do not receive data 
we have estimated energy use. We established new 
science-based targets during 2024 in line with the new 
‘Buildings’ framework. We now have a near-term target 
to reduce the intensity of our corporate and customer 
emissions by 81 per cent by 2034 (versus the new 2023 
baseline) and to be net-zero by 2050.
Description 
Under standard market lease terms we do not have 
automatic visibility of customer energy usage data. 
We recognise the importance of having good visibility 
of this data so we can accurately assess our Scope 3 
emissions and help our customers to reduce their own 
carbon footprint as well as improving their energy 
efficiency. We are therefore proactively engaging with 
our customers, requesting access to this data and have 
introduced green clauses requiring energy use visibility 
(as well as a commitment to secure renewable energy 
tariffs where possible) to all new leases.
What it is 
The largest source of carbon emissions within our 
control is the embodied carbon in our newly developed 
buildings. We established new science-based targets 
during 2024 in line with the new ‘Buildings’ framework. 
We now have a near-term target to reduce embodied 
carbon intensity by 58 per cent by 2034 (versus the 
new 2023 baseline) and to be net-zero by 2050. 
We calculate this metric based on completed 
developments over the past two years for which a life 
cycle assessment has been completed.
Our performance 
Our corporate and customer carbon intensity increased 
slightly to 36.4 kgCO2e/sq m during 2024, versus the 
new restated 2023 baseline of 36.1 kgCO2e/sq m. Whilst 
we reduced emissions in a large part of the portfolio, 
we saw a significant increase in emissions from our data 
centre customers. Data centre operators are on their 
own net-zero journey with commitments to reach 100 
per cent renewable energy by 2030, we will continue 
to work closely with them to ensure they deliver on 
that commitment. 
Our performance 
The visibility of our customers’ energy use improved to 
87 per cent (2023: 81 per cent) of our total property 
footprint by area.
Our performance 
The average embodied carbon intensity in our 
development programme was 318 kgCO2e/sq m 
reflecting a 4 per cent improvement from our new 2023 
baseline. We reduced this by trialling low carbon or 
recycled materials, including concrete, steel and timber 
across multiple projects.

Creating spaces 
that enable 
extraordinary 
things
Our portfolio is home to a wide range of 
businesses and we take pride in the extraordinary 
things that our customers do in the spaces 
we create. 
Our Purpose in action
Our urban warehouse estates are home to an 
incredibly diverse array of businesses who use 
our flexible and sustainable space to service 
growing local populations. 
SEGRO Park Berlin Airport is home to 77 
customers from 23 different sectors, serving the 
city’s 4 million residents as well as supporting 
Brandenberg airport. 
Our customers include: an event and advertising 
company FONTLINE Werbung & Beschriftung 
who needed space for their large printing 
machines but also easy access to the city where 
their customers’ events take place; Japanese 
food manufacturer JFC, who provide fresh food 
and groceries to restaurants and shops, and; 
sustainability conscious Swaprad, who 
provide Berlin residents with e-bikes on 
a monthly subscription. 
Maersk is one of our largest customers at SEGRO 
Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway. We 
completed a 64,000 sq m warehouse for them 
in 2023 and during 2024 delivered a 14-acre 
container depot.
These spaces, along with the strategic rail freight 
interchange, form a ‘Centre of Excellence’ which 
has allowed Maersk to integrate UK supply 
chains, connecting logistics for both import and 
export from one source. 
Easy access to major ports, a central location in 
the UK’s ‘golden triangle’ and the freeport zone 
helps to ensure goods can move into the UK 
at speed, with the opportunity to make 
secondary decisions on future moves as market 
situations dictate. 
This provides Maersk’s customers with flexibility 
and control and helps them maximise revenues 
and reduce costs. 
SEGRO is a trusted development partner for 
some of the world’s largest data centre 
co-locators, including VIRTUS Data Centres, 
the UK’s leading data centre company.
VIRTUS commenced operations at their first 
data centre on the Slough Trading Estate in 2014 
where it has now its largest UK campus, 
including six separate state-of-the-art facilities, 
totalling almost 100MW of IT load. 
We completed the most recent building during 
2024, delivering a bespoke multi-storey shell 
totalling 18,700 sq m of floor space that is 
capable of delivering 21MW of IT load. The 
building meets the highest standards of 
performance and efficiency and has been 
certified BREEAM ‘Excellent’. It is the fifth 
building that our specialist team has 
completed for VIRTUS on a pre-let basis 
in the past seven years.

Performance review
Portfolio valuations stable, continued market 
rental growth
Warehouse property values stabilised during 
2024, as inflation fell back towards central bank 
targets and the first interest rate cuts helped 
liquidity return to investment markets. Transaction 
volumes have, however, remained low and there 
has been a small amount of further yield 
expansion in some Continental European markets 
(mostly in the first six months of the year) but this 
has been mostly offset by rental growth. As a 
result, we have seen positive asset revaluations in 
some of our markets for the first time since 2022, 
and only small declines in others (most of which 
happened in the first half of the year).
The Group’s property portfolio was valued at 
£17.8 billion at 31 December 2024 (£20.3 billion 
of assets under management). The portfolio 
valuation, including completed assets, land 
and buildings under construction, increased by 
1.1 per cent (after adjusting for capital expenditure 
and asset recycling) during the year, compared 
to a decline of 4.0 per cent in 2023 (H1 2024: 
0 per cent, H2 2024: +1.0 per cent). 
The increase in the valuation of our portfolio 
primarily comprises a 0.9 per cent increase in 
assets held throughout the year (2023: 4.5 per cent 
decline), reflecting a 3.2 per cent increase in our 
valuer’s estimate of the market rental value (ERV) 
of our portfolio (2023: 6.0 per cent increase) as 
well as development profits and the benefit of our 
asset management initiatives, partly offset by a 
modest amount of yield expansion, mostly in our 
Continental European markets. 
Assets held throughout the year in the UK 
increased in value by 1.8 per cent (2023: 3.3 per cent 
decrease), underperforming the MSCI Real 
Estate All Industrial Quarterly Index which 
increased by 3.6 per cent over the same period. 
The underperformance was due to our weighting 
towards high-quality, lower yielding prime assets 
which, through the cycle, we would expect to 
outperform due to their higher rental growth 
prospects. The net true equivalent yield applied to 
our UK portfolio was 5.3 per cent, 10 basis points 
higher than at 31 December 2023 (5.2 per cent). 
Rental values improved by 3.7 per cent (2023: 
4.9 per cent). 
Assets held throughout the year in Continental 
Europe decreased in value by 0.8 per cent (2023 
6.4 per cent decrease) on a constant currency 
basis, reflecting a combination of 20 basis points 
of yield expansion to 5.6 per cent (31 December 
2023: 5.4 per cent) and rental value growth of 
2.3 per cent (2023: 7.9 per cent).
Portfolio update
1 	 Percentage valuation movement during the period 
based on the difference between opening and 
closing valuations for all properties including 
buildings under construction and land, adjusting 
for capital expenditure, acquisitions and disposals. 
The valuation movement cannot be directly derived 
from the Financial Statements and is calculated to 
be comparable with published MSCI Real Estate 
indices against which SEGRO is measured. Table 3 
on page 185 provides a reconciliation to the 
Financial Statements.
Growth in 
rent roll and 
portfolio 
value
Supply and demand in our occupier 
markets remains in balance, and we are 
making significant progress in capturing 
the embedded reversion within our 
portfolio. We are witnessing a return of 
liquidity to investment markets and 
continue to identify attractive opportunities 
to deploy capital, both through asset 
acquisitions and our profitable 
development pipeline, leveraging 
our exceptional land bank.

Strong rent roll growth, with a large 
contribution from the capture of reversion on 
the standing portfolio as well as development
Occupier market demand and supply remained 
in balance, although macroeconomic uncertainty 
resulted in more subdued demand, particularly 
for pre-let development schemes. However, 
the availability of modern and sustainable space 
remains limited across our chosen markets. 
This helped us to grow the rental income on our 
portfolio, by increasing the rents on our existing 
space and through our development programme, 
both of which contributed to income and 
earnings growth. 
During 2024, we contracted £91 million of new 
headline rent, ahead of the £88 million contracted 
in 2023. We added £38 million of net new rent 
from our existing portfolio (2023: £30 million). 
This comprised £32 million on new lettings 
(2023: £16 million) and £38 million from the 
capture of reversion (the difference between 
in-place and market rents) on rent reviews and 
renewals, and from inflation-related uplifts in 
index-linked leases (2023: £35 million), offset by 
rent lost from space returned which was higher 
during 2024 at £32 million (2023: £21 million), 
mainly due to the takeback of three units in 
SEGRO Park Enfield, and the insolvency of a large 
customer in Park Royal. These takebacks create 
opportunities to drive value from our prime-
located estates: an opportunity to capture 
reversion earlier than expected (SEGRO Park 
Enfield) by leasing the space at a higher rate; 
and an opportunity to create income growth 
from redeveloping or refurbishing a well-located 
unit in Park Royal, West London. 
We signed £20 million of headline rent from 
pre-let agreements and lettings of speculative 
developments prior to completion, compared 
to £27 million in 2023. The pre-lets signed during 
2024 included two big box warehouses in the UK 
(our first pre-let at SEGRO Park Northampton 
Gateway and another unit at SmartParc SEGRO 
Derby) and smaller units in Italy and Germany 
for retailers, manufacturers and third-party 
logistics operators. 
As a result of this activity, rent roll growth which 
reflects net new headline rent from existing space 
(adjusted for takebacks of space for development), 
take-up of developments and pre-lets agreed 
during the period, was £56 million (2023: 
£65 million).
At 31 December 2024, our portfolio generated 
passing rent of £665 million, rising to £727 million 
once rent free periods expire (‘headline rent’) over 
the next 12 months. 
What to expect from our portfolio in 2025
Forecasting yields over any future period is 
notoriously difficult given the multitude of 
economic and financial drivers (particularly 
interest rates and credit spreads), most of which 
are outside our direct control. 
We do not need yield shift to deliver continued 
growth in the portfolio. The fundamentals for 
our sector remain strong, with occupier demand 
supported by structural drivers and limited 
supply, which leaves us optimistic about the 
prospects for further rental value growth. 
Investors clearly agree as industrial and logistics 
investment markets have recovered more quickly 
than wider real estate assets, although investors 
are being selective about where and in what they 
invest. We expect that our active approach to 
asset management will lead to our high-quality, 
modern and sustainable portfolio to outperform 
the wider industrial and logistics market on a 
long-run basis.
In terms of rent roll, we expect this to increase 
through leasing space currently vacant or 
under refurbishment, the further capture of 
reversion on the existing portfolio and by signing 
further pre-lets in response to strengthening 
occupier demand. 
We have the potential to more than double our 
rent roll over the coming years through our active 
asset management of the existing portfolio and 
the build out of our high-quality land bank.

Taking a disciplined approach to capital allocation 
is key to delivering long-term outperformance. 
We use our in-depth knowledge of our markets 
and our customer base to inform portfolio 
positioning, and we adapt our approach to capital 
deployment depending on our assessment of 
the property cycle and other external factors. 
We anticipate that, in a stable yield environment, 
our portfolio is capable of delivering a 9 per cent 
or higher unlevered total return, based on its 
income (equivalent yield of 5.4 per cent) and 
rental growth (2 to 6 per cent), plus uplift from 
development (yield on cost 7 to 8 per cent). 
Deploying capital into the most profitable 
development opportunities and taking 
advantage of more liquid investment markets 
to acquire prime assets 
During the year we invested £494 million into 
our development pipeline, which comprised 
£471 million (2023: £527 million) in development 
spend (including £138 million for infrastructure) 
and £23 million on new land acquisitions, mostly 
of smaller plots of land that unlock redevelopment 
opportunities on existing sites. 
We took advantage of some attractively priced 
opportunities in the investment markets, identified 
by our local teams, to acquire a number of 
standing assets during 2024, which we believe 
offer attractive risk-adjusted total returns through 
a mix of the in-place income and future rental 
growth. These included:
	– a super-prime, highly-reversionary estate in the 
supply-constrained north London market which 
neighbours SEGRO Park Enfield;
	– a high-quality urban warehouse scheme in the 
UK Midlands, a market with a fast-growing 
economy and limited supply, and;
	– four modern, sustainable logistics assets in 
attractive markets in the Netherlands, with 
strong rental growth potential and where 
available land supply is very limited. 
The consideration for the asset acquisitions was 
£431 million, reflecting a blended topped-up 
initial yield of 4.4 per cent and reversionary yield 
of 5.9 per cent. We expect these assets to deliver 
a blended average unlevered Internal Rate of 
Return (IRR) of around 9 per cent over the next 
10 years assuming a stable yield environment. 
Well-executed disposal programme 
crystallising attractive profits
Our disposal programme is always based upon 
a rigorous annual review, asset by asset, of 
expected performance. Through this we seek 
to identify assets which are likely to offer weaker 
risk-adjusted returns compared to the wider 
portfolio. On top of this, our teams stay close 
to the investment market to identify motivated 
or special buyers who are likely to offer higher 
pricing than our own assessment of value, thus 
creating opportunities for profitable disposals.
 
As investment market liquidity improved in 2024, 
we were able to take advantage by disposing of 
£896 million of assets and land to realise profits 
and release capital to reinvest in our business. 
These included: 
	– an older West London estate that we had been 
positioning for redevelopment, to a purchaser 
who intends to convert the site into a mixed use 
scheme in the longer-term and who paid a 
premium to industrial land value;
	– a portfolio of recently-developed, big box 
logistics assets in Italy with limited medium-
term rental growth potential due to capped 
lease rental uplifts;
	– big box assets in the UK, France and Germany 
in slightly weaker locations and where we have 
lower conviction over future returns potential; 
and
	– generating a significant profit through the sale 
of a plot of land in Europe to a hyperscaler, and 
selling two powered shell data centres adjacent 
to the Slough Trading Estate to the occupier. 
The consideration for the asset disposals was 
£786 million, reflecting a blended topped-up 
initial of 4.6 per cent, equating to £38 million of 
annualised rental income (at share). We crystallised 
over a 10 per cent IRR on the disposals of assets 
developed by SEGRO in recent years.
The land disposals totalled £110 million and 
combined with the asset disposals they 
generated a 9 per cent gain on book values 
versus 31 December 2023.
What we said we would do
We said that we would continue to take 
a disciplined approach to capital allocation, 
focusing the majority of our investment on 
our development pipeline and making 
strategic asset acquisitions if and when the 
opportunity arose. 
What we achieved in 2024
We invested £925 million into our portfolio 
during the year. We have continued to prioritise 
capital deployment into the most profitable 
development opportunities, mostly on land that 
we already own. We invested £471 million into 
development capex to build out our land bank, 
and we also acquired £23 million of land. 
With liquidity returning to investment markets 
we also leveraged our strong local network and 
relationships to make £431 million of asset 
acquisitions in core markets, and continued our 
asset recycling programme, as well as finding 
special purchasers for some assets and land 
that helped crystallise attractive profits. These 
disposals totalled £896 million.
What to expect in 2025
We will continue to take the same disciplined 
approach during 2025, preferring mostly pre-let 
led development on our attractive land bank but 
continuing to consider unique asset or land 
acquisition opportunities that may arise. We 
expect to dispose of around 2 per cent of the 
portfolio, within the range of our normal levels 
of capital recycling but adapting the overall 
volume of disposals to market conditions.

Disciplined capital allocation and Operational 
excellence are both key to the success of our 
development programme. They ensure that we 
deploy capital into the most profitable opportunities 
and into markets with the greatest long-term 
return potential, execute on our pipeline 
efficiently and safely, and build to the highest 
construction and sustainability standards.
Development completions delivered 
£37 million of headline rent
Development completions added 374,700 sq m 
of new space to the portfolio during 2024, 
generating £31 million of headline rent, with a 
potential further £6 million when the remainder 
of the space is let. The yield on total development 
cost (including land, construction and finance 
costs) is expected to be 6.9 per cent when 
fully let. 
We completed 294,700 sq m of big box 
warehouse space, including our first units at 
SEGRO Park Coventry, a further unit at SmartParc 
SEGRO Derby and big box units for third-party 
logistics operators and manufacturers in Italy, 
Spain and Poland.
We completed 80,000 sq m of urban warehouses, 
including a data centre on the Slough Trading 
Estate and schemes in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, 
Paris and Warsaw. The majority of these were 
developed speculatively and almost half of the 
rent has already been secured.
Reducing embodied carbon in our development 
programme is critical to helping us improve our 
carbon footprint. During 2024 we created new 
science-based targets, aligned with the new 
‘Buildings’ framework, and our new embodied 
carbon pathway has both a near-term target to 
reduce embodied carbon by 58 per cent by 
2034 versus the 2023 baseline, and a target to 
be net-zero by 2050. We reduced the embodied 
carbon intensity of our developments by 4 per 
cent to 318 kgCO2e/sq m during the year 
(2023: 331 kgCO2e/sq m). 
All of our eligible development completions 
during 2024 have been, or are expected to be, 
accredited at least BREEAM ‘Very Good’ 
(or local equivalent), with 97 per cent ‘Excellent’ 
or ‘Outstanding’. 
£51 million of headline rent currently under 
development or due to start shortly
At 31 December 2024, we had development 
projects approved, contracted or under 
construction totalling 400,500 sq m, 
representing £145 million of future capital 
expenditure to complete, £46 million of 
annualised gross rental income and a 8 per cent 
yield on total development cost when fully 
occupied. 50 per cent of this rent has already 
been secured (2023: 62 per cent) due to a lower 
level of pre-let schemes and our speculative, 
mostly, urban pipeline. This includes schemes in 
Germany and France where we are responding to 
strong local demand which we have experienced 
on existing assets. 
In the UK, we have 137,100 sq m of space approved 
or under construction. Within this are two schemes 
on the Slough Trading Estate, a multi-let industrial 
unit and a multi-storey powered shell data centre, 
as well as our first big box warehouse at SEGRO 
Logistics Park Northampton.
In Continental Europe, we have 263,400 sq m 
of space approved or under construction. 
This includes urban warehouses in the supply-
constrained markets of Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, 
Düsseldorf and Cologne. We also have big box 
warehouses under construction in Germany, Italy 
and Spain. 
We have factored current construction and 
financing costs into the returns for our future 
development projects. Build costs have been 
stable across most of our markets during 2024 
and in some regions have started to see 
construction tenders coming in at reduced 
prices. We expect to be able to develop at a 
margin over the valuation yields on equivalent 
standing assets of at least 150 to 200 basis 
points, meaning that development remains 
a profitable way of growing the rent roll.

reported figures and are line with the methodology 
of our new Science Based Target. 
What we said we would do
We expected to continue to develop out our 
land bank during 2024 and anticipated investing 
approximately £600 million in development 
capex, including £150 million of infrastructure 
expenditure.
What we achieved in 2024
We completed 374,700 sq m of space, capable 
of delivering £37 million of new headline rent, 
delivering a yield on cost of 6.9 per cent when 
fully let. 
What to expect in 2025
We expect to invest approximately £500 million 
in development capex during 2025, including 
£150 million of infrastructure related to our big 
box logistics parks. The yield on cost for our 
development programme is expected to be 
between 7 and 8 per cent.

Within the future development pipeline are 
a number of pre-let projects close to being 
approved, awaiting either final conditions to 
be met or planning approval to be granted. 
We expect to commence these ‘near-term’ 
projects within the next six to 12 months. 
These projects total 39,300 sq m of space, 
equating to approximately £45 million of future 
capital expenditure and £5 million of potential 
annual rent.
£476 million of future potential rent from 
land bank and options
Our land bank identified for future development 
(including the near-term projects detailed above) 
totalled 1,027 hectares as at 31 December 2024, 
valued at £1.6 billion, roughly 9 per cent of our 
total portfolio value. This includes £619 million 
of land acquired for future redevelopment but 
which is currently income producing, reducing 
the holding costs until development can start 
(equating to £10 million of annualised rent).
We estimate our land bank can support 3.2 million 
sq m of development over the next five to seven 
years. The estimated capital expenditure associated 
with the future pipeline is approximately £3.4 billion, 
capable of generating £376 million of gross 
rental income, representing a yield on total 
development cost (including land and notional 
finance costs) of between 7 and 8 per cent. 
Within this land bank are sites that SEGRO 
has identified as suitable for data centre 
development and there is further potential from 
the redevelopment of existing assets which is not 
included in these pipeline numbers. The data 
centre opportunity within our portfolio equates to 
more than 2.3GW of potential additional capacity 
across the UK and Continental Europe. 
Land acquisitions (contracted but subject to 
further conditions) and land held under option 
agreements are not included in the figures 
above, and these represent significant further 
development opportunities. These include sites 
for big box warehouses in the UK as well as in Italy 
and Poland. They also include urban warehouse 
sites in East and West London and in Paris. Those 
we expect to exercise over the next two to three 
years are for land capable of supporting almost 
1 million sq m of space and generating over 
£100 million of headline rent, for a blended yield 
of 7 to 8 per cent. The options are held on the 
balance sheet at a value of £17 million (including 
joint ventures and associates at share). 
All of the figures relating to our land bank and 
options, other than the current value, are 
indicative, based on our current expectations, 
and are dependent on our ability to secure pre-let 
agreements, planning permissions, construction 
contracts and on our outlook for occupier 
conditions in local markets.

A zero-tolerance approach  
to poor health & safety
Health and safety is central to all of our business 
activities and it is our responsibility to ensure 
that we provide and promote a healthy, safe and 
secure environment in which our people can 
work, extending throughout our supply chain, 
and in particular to our development projects. 
We aim to achieve our high standards through 
a combination of risk mitigation, training and 
promoting a widespread awareness of health 
and safety. We only want to work with 
businesses that share our approach of zero-
tolerance of poor health and safety. We require 
all of our suppliers to confirm that they meet our 
Health and Safety Standards, and we undertake 
particularly rigorous assessments of those 
companies working on our development sites. 
We support our contractors by providing 
additional guidance, signage and undertake 
health and safety visits of all our development 
sites through the life of each project. We also 
facilitate the sharing of best practice across 
the industry though our Contractor Forums. 
This approach also extends to the ongoing 
day-to-day life of our estates, many of which are 
accessed by both our customers and the public. 
We factor this into the design, mitigate risks and 
provide training to raise awareness. Whenever 
incidents occur we fully investigate to 
understand the causes and disseminate 
learnings across the Group, including the Board 
and Executive Committee, to ensure that we 
(and where appropriate third-parties) respond 
and improve our processes where necessary.
The accident incident rate decreased during 
2024, following the implementation of our new 
and enhanced safety management system. 
All SEGRO employees, including contractors, are 
included in our health and safety metrics, which 
are reported monthly, quarterly and annually to 
all leadership groups, including the Board.

What we said we would do
We expected occupier demand to remain 
strong, but at more normalised levels to the 
pandemic years. We anticipated that rental 
growth would continue, supported by this 
demand and the continued shortage of supply 
in our chosen markets.
What we achieved in 2024
Our focus on Operational excellence and 
commitment to excellent customer service 
helped us to deliver another strong year of rent 
roll growth during 2024. We made great progress 
capturing reversion and kept occupancy high, 
despite taking back some space in London for 
refurbishment and redevelopment to very high 
sustainability standards. 
What to expect in 2025
We have a unique portfolio, focused on 
Europe’s strongest industrial and logistics 
markets. Our active asset management 
approach ensures that it will continually evolve 
to provide high-quality, modern space appealing 
to the widest variety of customers, thereby 
increasing rental levels. In 2025, we will continue 
to focus on providing excellent customer 
service and to capture the reversion inherent 
in our leases which reflects the quality of our 
buildings. We will continue to take advantage of 
leases coming to an end on some of our older 
buildings to refurbish them, bringing them up to 
the high environmental standards our customers 
and other stakeholders expect.

Asset management update
The performance of our existing portfolio 
relies on our continued focus on Operational 
excellence; whether that means providing the 
best customer experience throughout the 
customer’s ‘journey’ with SEGRO, optimising 
rental income and lease terms, ensuring 
consistency of operating standards, or driving 
efficiency through continuous improvement 
and the digitalisation of processes.
We believe SEGRO has a market-leading 
operating platform, with people on the ground 
in all of our key locations. Through the internal 
management of our portfolio, we build strong 
and meaningful relationships with our customers 
and other business partners, and actively 
manage our assets to generate long-term 
outperformance.
Strong and diversified customer base 
Understanding our customers and their evolving 
needs is crucial to the success of our business. 
The insights that we gain from these partnerships 
help us to shape our portfolio and ensure that our 
buildings are fit for the future and suitable for 
occupier’s evolving needs.
Our customer base remains well diversified, 
reflecting the flexibility of warehouse space 
and that two-thirds of our portfolio is in urban 
locations. Our top 20 customers account for 33 
per cent of total headline rent. Amazon remains 
our largest customer, although its share has 
reduced to 5 per cent of our total rent roll as a 
result of the recycling activity during the year.
Customers from the transport and logistics and 
manufacturing sectors were the largest takers 
of our space during 2024, as they continued to 
focus on prioritising efficiency, resilience and 
sustainability into their operations. This was 
closely followed by the technology, media and 
telecoms sector, which was driven by data centre 
operators taking additional space to keep up with 
increased corporate and consumer demand. 
Our urban spaces continue to be in high 
demand by a large range of businesses who 
provide value-added goods and services to 
nearby growing populations. 
The health of our customer base remains 
strong: rent lost due to insolvency was £9 million 
(2023: £3 million), approximately 1 per cent of our 
headline rent. The majority of the increase versus 
last year was due to the insolvency of a single 
customer in our Park Royal portfolio. Our income 
at risk watchlist remains small and rent collection 
is tracking at normal levels despite the 
economic environment.
Focused on delivering excellent 
customer service
Although the quality and location of our 
portfolio is of primary importance to our 
customers, the value of building outstanding 
customer relationships through the delivery of 
excellent customer service should not be 
underestimated. It helps us to maintain high 
levels of customer retention, grow rents and 
create new business opportunities.
We often work with our larger customers in 
more than one location and regularly across 
geographies: 26 per cent of our headline rent 
comes from customers with whom we have 
leases in more than one country. Our cross-
border customer account teams help to ensure 
that we offer a streamlined and informed 
approach to these businesses.
We carry out a rolling survey of our customers 
throughout the year to identify and rectify issues 
promptly. In 2024, we spoke to 355 customers, 
and 97 per cent said that they would recommend 
SEGRO to others (2023: 96 per cent) while 86 per 
cent said they rated their experience with SEGRO 
as ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’ (2023: 86 per cent).
During 2024 we continued to develop our 
customer insight programme with the launch of 
three SEGRO customer journey projects to help 
us better understand their experiences of 
working with SEGRO and how we can best 
support them. We continued to bring customers 
together through our Customer Futures Forums 
and we also launched a customer intelligence 
platform across the business to help us better 
share insights and leverage existing relationships.

Actively managing our portfolio to create value
The supply-demand dynamics across our chosen 
markets remained in balance during 2024, and 
although occupier demand for pre-lets was 
lower than in previous years, we were able to 
drive further rental value (ERV) growth and sign 
£91 million of new headline rent during the year. 
The active asset management of our portfolio 
reflects our determination to generate 
outperformance through the cycle. We create 
plans for every single asset as part of our annual 
asset review process, aiming to strike a balance 
between maintaining current high occupancy 
and creating opportunities to drive future rents 
and create value through refurbishment, 
redevelopment or conversion to alternative, 
higher value, such as data centres. We monitor 
a number of metrics that help us assess the 
performance of our existing portfolio:
	– Excellent progress in capturing the 
embedded reversion within our portfolio: 
Lease reviews and renewals during the period 
generated an uplift of 34 per cent (2023: 31.0 per 
cent), adding £27 million of new headline rent. 
New rents agreed at review and renewal hit a 
record level and were 43 per cent higher in the 
UK (2023: 40 per cent) as reversion accumulated 
over the past five years was reflected in the 
significantly higher new rents agreed. In 
Continental Europe, rents agreed on renewal 
were 7 per cent higher (2023: 8 per cent higher), 
as a result of market rental growth continuing to 
outpace annual indexation uplifts that have 
accumulated over recent years. Our portfolio is 
now 16 per cent reversionary, providing us with 
the opportunity to capture a further £118 million 
of headline rent, £71 million of which is up for rent 
review or renewal by the end of 2027.
	– Occupancy within our target range at 94.0 
per cent (31 December 2023: 95.0 per cent) 
The increase was mostly due to takebacks in 
our London portfolio, including a modern 
estate in North London that we are already 
marketing and have had good initial interest, as 
well as older buildings to facilitate refurbishment 
or redevelopment. The occupancy rate 
excluding recently completed speculative 
developments reduced to 95.4 per cent 
(31 December 2023: 96.0 per cent) and the 
average occupancy rate during the period was 
95.7 per cent (2023: 95.5 per cent). 
	– Customer retention rate remained high 
at 80 per cent. Approximately £99 million of 
headline rent was at risk from a break or lease 
expiry during the period, of which we retained 
78 per cent based on customers staying in their 
existing space (2023: 78 per cent), and a further 
2 per cent including those who moved to new 
premises but stayed within the portfolio (2023: 
3 per cent).
	– Lease terms continue to offer attractive 
income security. The level of incentives 
agreed for new leases (excluding those on 
developments completed in the period) 
increased slightly to 6.7 per cent of the headline 
rent (2023: 5.8 per cent). We maintained the 
portfolio’s weighted average lease length, with 
7.2 years to first break and 8.4 years to expiry 
(31 December 2023: 7.3 years to first break, 
8.3 years to expiry). Lease terms are longer in 
the UK (8.5 years to break) than in Continental 
Europe (5.3 years to break), reflecting the 
market convention of shorter leases in 
countries such as France and Poland.
Working closely with our customers and 
refurbishing older assets to help us achieve our 
Championing low-carbon growth ambitions
During 2024 we updated our carbon targets to 
align with the new Science-Based Target Initiative 
(SBTi) ‘Buildings’ framework. This has resulted in 
two new operational targets: a near-term target to 
reduce the carbon intensity of our corporate and 
customer emissions by 81 per cent by 2034, and 
a net-zero target by 2050. These targets have a 
new baseline of 2023 and we have restated last 
year’s emissions using the new best practice 
methodology. There has been a 1 per cent 
increase in our corporate customer emission 
intensity during 2024, largely due to our data 
centre portfolio which accounted for the majority 
of the increase in our absolute emissions. Data 
centre customers are on their own net-zero 
journey with commitments to reach 100 per cent 
renewable energy by 2030 and we will continue 
to work closely with our customers to do what 
we can to help them make good progress on 
that commitment. 
Our green lease clauses help to improve our 
visibility of our customers’ carbon emissions and 
are key to delivering a reduction in our corporate 
and customer emissions. They allow us to report 
more accurate data and to identify opportunities 
to help customers operate their buildings more 
efficiently, reducing their carbon footprint and 
operating costs. These clauses, alongside an 
increase in the number of automatic meter feeds 
that we receive, have helped increase the visibility 
of our portfolio energy use to 87 per cent (2023: 
81 per cent).
At the end of 2024, 76 per cent of the portfolio 
had an EPC rating of B or better (2023: 65 per 
cent). Whilst the majority of our portfolio is 
modern and already meets the highest 
sustainability standards, we do have some older 
assets in cities such as London and Paris, where 
land and buildings are in short supply and rents 
continue to grow. This provides us with the 
opportunity to add significant value through 
refurbishment and whilst also improving their 
environmental performance. 
A key part of our asset planning process is 
therefore determining the phasing of these 
projects and managing the space to ensure we 
have vacant possession to suit our future plans. 
This can lead to periods where the headline 
vacancy in these sub-markets is elevated, for 
example in our London portfolio at the end of 
2024, but the cost of this vacancy is more than 
outweighed by the value created through the 
refurbishment or redevelopment. Opportunities 
such as these are not included in our future 
development programme and could create 
significant rental uplifts. 
Our asset management teams are also working 
hard to expand the solar capacity of our portfolio 
through retrofitting onto existing assets (we install 
photovoltaic arrays on almost all new developments) 
where feasible. During 2024 we added a record 
64MW to our installed solar capacity, more than 
doubling it and taking the total to 123MW, 16MW 
of this was through retrofits onto existing buildings. 
Performance review continued
Applying Operational excellence  
to our supply chains
We apply the same approach in our supply 
chains as we do in our internal operations and 
aim to develop collaborative partnerships, with 
mutually beneficial aims and objectives. Our 
suppliers range from small local businesses to 
multinational companies and we look to work 
with businesses who share our approach to 
matters such as health and safety, compliance 
and anti-bribery and corruption. Our Supplier 
Code of Conduct and Modern Slavery and 
Labour Standards Supplier Code consolidate 
and set out in full the principles and standards 
that we expect and outline how we can work 
side-by-side to create real change. 
Our relationships with our suppliers are also 
important in us achieving our Responsible 
SEGRO ambitions. We work closely with our 
construction partners to reduce the embodied 
carbon intensity of our development 
programme. We also expect our suppliers to 
work with us to support local businesses and 
economies; this includes proactively sourcing 
labour, goods and services from our local 
communities and contributing to our 
Community Investment Plans. In the spirit of 
partnership, we treat our suppliers well and 
ensure they are paid on time. We are a 
signatory of the UK Prompt Payment Code 
(average UK payment time is 14 days). We are 
also an accredited UK Living Wage employer, 
and are working with our suppliers to help 
ensure everyone working in our supply chain 
to support us is paid a real Living Wage.

Occupier markets in Continental Europe experienced similar 
trends to the UK during 2024 and we saw a lower level of pre-let 
requirements in most of our markets. We saw less of a pandemic 
supply response on the Continent, however, and vacancy rates 
have remained low versus historical averages. We experienced 
rental growth in all of our markets but it varied quite significantly 
and was stronger where we had leasing or development activity. 
Investment market liquidity improved in the second half of the year 
which helped yields to stabilise and allowed us to recycle a number 
of assets, unlocking capital to reinvest into opportunities that we 
expect to offer better returns. 
2024 key highlights
	– Rental growth across all of our markets, albeit at a more 
moderate pace than during the pandemic period. 
	– Lower level of development completions but good progress 
in progressing planning for future schemes. 
	– Well-executed disposals programme.
	– Almost doubled the size of our Dutch portfolio through some 
great asset acquisitions.
	– Good progress securing power for some of our Continental 
European data centre opportunities. 
Risks and opportunities
	– Potential improvements in the political environment (particularly 
in France and Germany) has resulted in increased enquiry levels 
more recently.
	– Completion of speculative schemes in some of our most supply 
constrained urban markets (Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, Düsseldorf), 
including our innovative underground scheme Les Gobelins.
	– Industrial and logistics is still a favoured sub-sector for real estate 
investors so potential for yield compression as activity returns, 
supported by lower European bond yields. 
UK occupier markets faired reasonably well during 2024, although 
macroeconomic uncertainty dented business confidence and 
brought take-up back to pre-pandemic levels. As the year progressed 
an improving picture emerged with a stabilisation in vacancy rates 
and falls in some markets due to a reduction in speculative supply 
and increased demand. Rental growth continued throughout the 
year, albeit at more moderate levels but with some very strong 
pockets of growth, most notably in our Heathrow and certain parts 
of our National Markets portfolio. UK property yields were stable 
and investor sentiment improved as the year progressed, 
particularly for prime assets with strong reversionary potential. 
2024 key highlights
	– Captured a significant amount of reversion during the year, 
particularly in the London portfolio. 
	– Renewal of the Simplified Planning Zone in Slough.
	– Two large pre-lets signed for big box warehouses in the Midlands, 
despite a quieter pre-let market.
	– Smart acquisitions helping create clusters in attractive markets.
	– Hit key milestones on the infrastructure works at our new big box 
logistics park development in Radlett in Hertfordshire. 
Risks and opportunities
	– Signs of improved sentiment in the occupier markets towards 
the end of 2024 points to more active pre-let markets in 2025. 
	– £94 million of reversion to capture in our UK portfolio.
	– Vacancy remains high in our London portfolio as we upgrade 
older assets to prime standards to enhance value.
	– Slough Trading Estate remains in demand for new data centres.
	– Planning in place for some of our key London schemes, 
which will allow us to progress quickly when occupier 
demand accelerates.

€600 million was extended to a 2027 maturity, 
and €100 million was extended to a 2028 
maturity. SEGRO also cancelled a €100 million 
bilateral credit facility, which was replaced by 
the bilateral revolving credit facility entered into 
in January 2024. 
	– Medium-term debt: SEGRO has repaid a total 
of £725 million of term loans and extended the 
maturity of £90 million of term loans for a 
further year, to 2027. 
	– 	Long-term debt: In September 2024, SEGRO 
issued a €500 million 3.5 per cent bond due 
in 2032. In January 2025, SELP issued a 
€500 million 3.75 per cent bond due in 2032. 
	– New equity: In February 2024, SEGRO 
undertook an equity placing in which we raised 
£907 million of gross proceeds (before costs) 
through the issue of 111 million new shares at 
a price of 820 pence.  
Financial review
Financial position at 31 December 2024
At 31 December 2024, the gross borrowings of the 
SEGRO Group and its share of gross borrowings in 
joint ventures and associates, after capitalised 
finance costs, totalled £5,536 million (31 December 
2023: £6,420 million), of which £3 million 
(31 December 2023: £6 million) are secured by 
way of legal charges over specific assets. The 
remainder of gross borrowings are unsecured. 
Cash and cash equivalent balances were 
£536 million (31 December 2023: £404 million). 
The average debt maturity was 6.9 years 
(31 December 2023: 6.9 years) and the average 
cost of debt as at 31 December 2024 (excluding 
non-cash interest and commitment fees) was 
2.5 per cent (31 December 2023: 3.1 per cent).
Funds available to the SEGRO Group (including 
its share of joint ventures and associates) at 
31 December 2024 totalled £2,337 million 
(31 December 2023: £1,930 million), comprising 
£536 million cash and short-term investments 
(which includes £72 million of tenant deposits) 
and £1,801 million of undrawn credit facilities 
(which includes £140 million of uncommitted 
facilities). Cash and cash equivalent balances, 
together with the Group’s interest rate and foreign 
exchange derivatives portfolio, are spread 
amongst a strong group of banks, all of which 
have a credit rating of A- or better.

Gearing and financial covenants
We consider the key leverage metric for 
SEGRO to be a proportionally consolidated 
(‘look-through’) loan to value ratio (LTV) which 
incorporates assets and net debt on SEGRO’s 
balance sheet and SEGRO’s share of assets 
and net debt on the balance sheets of its joint 
ventures. The LTV at 31 December 2024 on 
this basis was 28 per cent (31 December 2023: 
34 per cent), the decrease primarily driven by 
decreased borrowings.
SEGRO’s borrowings contain gearing covenants 
based on Group net debt and net asset value, 
excluding debt in joint ventures. The gearing ratio 
of the Group at 31 December 2024, as defined 
within the principal debt funding arrangements of 
the Group, was 35 per cent (31 December 2023: 
45 per cent). 
This is significantly lower than the Group’s tightest 
financial gearing covenant within these debt 
facilities of 160 per cent. Property valuations 
would need to fall by around 54 per cent from 
their 31 December 2024 values to reach the 
gearing covenant threshold of 160 per cent. 
A 54 per cent fall in property values would equate 
to an LTV ratio of approximately 61 per cent.
The Group’s other key financial covenant within 
its principal debt funding arrangements is 
interest cover, requiring that net interest before 
capitalisation be covered at least 1.25 times by 
net property rental income. The ratio for 2024 
was 3.7 times, comfortably ahead of the covenant 
minimum. Net property rental income would 
need to fall by around 66 per cent from 2024 
levels, or the average interest rate would need to 
rise to 9.2 per cent (from the full-year average 
interest rate of 3.1 per cent) to breach the interest 
cover covenant threshold. On a proportionally 
consolidated basis, including joint ventures, the 
interest cover ratio was 3.9 times.
SEGRO also monitors its leverage on a net debt: 
EBITDA basis which is an important metric for 
rating agencies and our investors. SEGRO’s net 
debt: EBITDA ratio at the end of 2024 was 
8.6 times (2023: 10.4 times), reflecting the net 
impact of an £19 million increase in EBITDA and 
Monitoring and mitigating financial risk
As explained in the risks section of this Annual 
Report, the Group monitors a number of financial 
metrics to assess the level of financial risk being 
taken and to mitigate that risk.
Treasury policies and governance
The Group Treasury function operates within 
a formal policy covering all aspects of treasury 
activity, including funding, counterparty exposure 
and management of interest rate, currency and 
liquidity risks. Group Treasury reports on 
compliance with these policies on a quarterly 
basis and policies are reviewed regularly by 
the Board.
a £728 million decrease in net debt. SEGRO has 
a long-term issuer default rating of ‘BBB+’ and a 
senior unsecured rating of ‘A-’ from Fitch Ratings 
as at 31 December 2024. The outlook on the 
long-term issuer default rating was revised in 
May 2024 to stable, from negative.
We mitigate the risk of over-gearing the Company 
and breaching debt covenants by carefully 
monitoring the impact of investment decisions 
on our LTV and by stress testing our balance 
sheet to potential changes in property values.
Our intention for the foreseeable future is to 
maintain our LTV at around 30 per cent, although 
the evolution of the property cycle will inevitably 
mean that there are periods of time when our 
LTV is higher or lower than this. However, this 
level of LTV through the cycle provides the 
flexibility to take advantage of investment 
opportunities arising and ensures significant 
headroom compared against our tightest gearing 
covenants should property values decline. 
The weighted average maturity of the gross 
borrowings of the Group (including joint ventures 
at share) was 6.9 years, with the closest maturity 
being SELP’s €500 million euro bond in 
November 2025, followed by SEGRO’s 
€650 million euro bond in March 2026. This long 
average debt maturity comprises a well spread 
debt funding maturity profile which reduces 
future refinancing risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk policy is designed to 
ensure that we limit our exposure to volatility in 
interest rates. The policy states that between 50 
and 100 per cent of net borrowings (including the 
Group’s share of borrowings in joint ventures) 
should be at fixed or capped rates, including the 
impact of derivative financial instruments.
At 31 December 2024, including the impact of 
derivative instruments, 116 per cent (2023: 95 per 
cent) of the net borrowings of the Group (including 
the Group’s share of borrowings within joint 
ventures) were either at fixed rates or are protected 
from rising interest rates with an active interest rate 
cap. This hedged debt percentage is currently 
greater than 100 per cent due to the temporarily 
higher cash balance and lower floating rate bank 
borrowings. The active interest rate cap portfolio 
has a spread of expiry dates over the next 5 years 
to 2029 and an average expiry of 3.0 years. 
Financial review continued
What we said we would do
We intend to keep our LTV at around 
30 per cent. 
What we achieved in 2024
The impact of decreased borrowings has 
meant that LTV has decreased from 34 per 
cent to 28 per cent at 31 December 2024. 
What to expect in 2025
We aim to maintain our mid-cycle LTV at 
around 30 per cent, although the evolution 
of the property cycle will inevitably mean 
that there are periods of time when our LTV 
is higher or lower than this. We believe this 
approach ensures significant headroom 
compared against our tightest gearing 
covenants should property values decline 
further, as well as providing the flexibility to 
take advantage of investment opportunities 
which may arise. We have available cash and 
undrawn committed facilities of £2.1 billion 
(including our share of joint ventures and 
associates) on which we can draw to fund 
our investment plans.

Further Information

	– In February 2024, the Group raised £907 million 
of new equity.
	– In September 2024, the Group raised a 
€500 million Eurobond, with a six times over 
subscription rate. Proceeds were used to 
refinance 2025 and 2026 term loan maturities.
	– Cash and available committed facilities, 
excluding tenant deposits, at 31 December 
2024 were £1.7 billion.
	– The negative outlook on SEGRO’s A- senior 
unsecured rating from Fitch was removed in 
May 2024.
	– The Group continuously monitors its liquidity 
position compared to the refinancing 
requirements of maturing debt, committed and 
expected capital and operating expenses on a 
rolling forward 18-month basis. The quantum of 
committed capital expenditure at any point in 
time is typically low due to the short timeframe 
to construct warehouse buildings. 
	– The Group also regularly stress-tests its financial 
covenants. As noted above, at 31 December 
2024, property values would need to fall by 
around 54 per cent before breaching the 
gearing covenant. In terms of interest cover, net 
rental income would need to fall by 66 per cent 
or the average interest rate would need to reach 
in excess of 9 per cent before breaching the 
interest cover covenant. All would be significantly 
in excess of the Group’s experience during the 
financial crisis.
Having made enquiries and having considered 
the principal risks facing the Group, including 
liquidity and solvency risks, and material 
uncertainties, the Directors have a reasonable 
expectation that the Company and the Group 
have adequate resources to continue in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future 
(a period of at least 12 months from the date of 
approval of the financial statements). Accordingly, 
they continue to adopt the going concern basis 
in preparing these financial statements.
Presentation of financial information 
The Group Financial Statements are prepared 
under IFRS where the Group’s interests in joint 
ventures and associates are shown as a single 
line item on the income statement and balance 
sheet and subsidiaries are consolidated at
100 per cent.
The Adjusted profit measure reflects the 
underlying financial performance of the Group’s 
property rental business, which is our core 
operating activity. It is based on EPRA earnings 
as set out in the Best Practices Recommendations 
Guidelines of the European Public Real Estate 
Association (EPRA) which are widely used 
alternate metrics to their IFRS equivalents within 
the European real estate sector (further details 
can be found at www.epra.com). In calculating 
Adjusted profit, the Directors may also exclude 
additional items considered to be non-recurring, 
unusual, or significant by virtue of size and 
nature. In the current year no such adjustments 
have been made. In the prior year, the net profit 
after tax impact of the SELP performance fees 
recognised of £42 million has been excluded. 
Furthermore, in the prior year, an impairment 
of a loan to an associate (£28 million) has 
been excluded.
See Note 2 for more detail. 
The Group seeks to limit its exposure to volatility 
in foreign exchange rates by hedging its foreign 
currency gross assets using either borrowings or 
derivative instruments. The Group targets a 
hedging range of between the last reported LTV 
ratio (28 per cent at 31 December 2024) and 100 
per cent. At 31 December 2024, the Group was 
75 per cent hedged by gross foreign currency 
denominated liabilities (31 December 2023: 
74 per cent).
Including the impact of forward foreign exchange 
and currency swap contracts used to hedge 
foreign currency denominated net assets, if the 
value of the other currencies in which the Group 
operates at 31 December 2024 weakened by 
10 per cent against sterling (to €1.33, in the case 
of euros), net assets would have decreased by 
approximately £124 million and there would have 
been a reduction in gearing of approximately 
2.4 per cent and in the LTV of 1.4 per cent.
The average exchange rate used to translate euro 
denominated earnings generated during 2024 
into sterling within the consolidated income 
statement of the Group was €1.18: £1. Based on 
the hedging position at 31 December 2024, and 
assuming that this position had applied 
throughout 2024, if the euro had been 10 per 
cent weaker than the average exchange rate 
(€1.30: £1), Adjusted profit after tax for the year 
would have been approximately £9 million 
(2.4 per cent) lower than reported. If it had been 
10 per cent stronger, Adjusted profit after tax 
for the year would have been approximately 
£11 million (2.9 per cent) higher than reported.
Going concern
As noted in the Financial Position and Funding 
section above, the Group has significant available 
liquidity to meet its capital commitments, a 
long-dated debt maturity profile and substantial 
headroom against financial covenants. 
Financial review continued
Income statement review
The Group has had a temporary elevated cash 
balance throughout the year, which has been 
invested in short-term interest-bearing deposits 
and money market funds. In order to protect the 
Group from decreases in floating interest rates, a 
series of interest rate floor contracts were entered 
into to manage this risk. The interest rate floors 
are short-term contracts to reflect the temporary 
nature of the elevated cash balance and are all 
due to mature during 2025. 
As a result of the fixed and capped cover in place, 
if short-term interest rates had been 100 basis 
points higher throughout the year to 31 December 
2024, the adjusted net finance cost of the Group 
would have been approximately £5 million lower 
(31 December 2023: £10 million higher for a 200 
bps increase in interest rates) representing 
around 1 per cent (31 December 2023: 3 per cent) 
of Adjusted profit after tax. The sensitivity is 
currently inverted due to the floating rate income 
earned on the higher than usual cash balances 
during the year to 31 December 2024.
The Group elects not to hedge account its 
interest rate derivatives portfolio. Therefore, 
movements in its fair value are taken to the 
income statement but, in accordance with EPRA 
Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines, 
these gains and losses are eliminated from 
Adjusted profit after tax.
Foreign currency translation risk
The Group has minimal transactional foreign 
currency exposure but does have a potentially 
significant currency translation exposure arising 
on the conversion of its foreign currency 
denominated assets (mainly euro) and euro 
denominated earnings into sterling in the 
Group consolidated accounts.

Net rental income

1
Net rental income increased by £38 million to
£500 million (or by £41 million to £628 million 
including joint ventures and associates at share 
before joint venture fees), reflecting the positive net 
impact of like-for-like rental growth, development 
completions and investment activity during the 
year, offset by the impact of disposals.
On a like-for-like basis2, before other items 
(primarily corporate centre and other costs not 
specifically allocated to the two property 
businesses), net rental income increased by 
£29 million, or 5.8 per cent, compared to 2023.
This is due to strong rental performance across 
our portfolio. In the UK, there was a 5.9 per cent 
increase, primarily through capturing the 
reversionary potential in the portfolio through 
lease reviews and renewals. In Continental 
Europe there was a similar increase (5.7 per 
cent), primarily through indexation; (for more 
information see Performance review page 41).
Income from joint ventures and associates
£2m lower
3
SEGRO’s share of joint ventures and associates’ 
Adjusted profit after tax increased slightly 
(£1 million) from £82 million in 2023 to £83 million 
in 2024. The increase is due to a small upward 
movement in net rental income.
Joint venture fee management fee income 
decreased by £3 million to £26 million in 2024 
due to a reduction in development activity and 
lower property values, on which elements of the 
fees are based.
Prior period performance fees from joint 
ventures have been excluded from Adjusted 
profit and are discussed in Note 7 to the 
Financial Statements.
Administration expenses
£13m higher
2
Administrative expenses have increased by 
£13 million to £76 million in the current year. 
This primarily related to investment in 
technology through IT costs and depreciation 
from project spend in previous years, as well as 
costs relating to transactions not completed. 
This is a contributory factor for the total cost 
ratio (after share-based payments), which 
includes property operating expenses which 
increased from 18.4 per cent to 20.7 per cent in 
the current year. Further detail is given in Table 9 
in the notes to the Financial Statements.
Taxation
2.6% (effective rate)
5
The tax charge on Adjusted profit of £12 million 
(2023: £10 million) reflects an effective tax rate 
of 2.6 per cent (2023: 2.4 per cent).
The Group’s effective tax rate reflects the 
fact that around three-quarters of its wholly- 
owned assets are located in the UK and 
qualify for REIT status. This status means that 
income from rental profits and gains on 
disposals of assets in the UK are exempt from 
corporation tax, provided SEGRO meets a 
number of conditions including, but not 
limited to, distributing 90 per cent of UK 
taxable profits.
Income statement review continued
Financial review continued
Net finance costs
£38m lower
4
Net finance costs were £38 million lower than 
2023 at £68 million. This is primarily due to lower 
net debt in the year following the equity raise in 
the early part of 2024, discussed further in the 
Financing section above. Furthermore, average 
interest rates during the year were 3.1 per cent 
compared to 3.4 per cent in the prior year, 
further reducing the net finance costs. Interest 
capitalised on the development of properties in 
the year was £67 million, slightly higher than the 
prior year (2023: £64 million). 
Adjusted profit (EPS)
£59m higher (34.5p)
6
Adjusted profit after tax increased by £59 million 
to £458 million (2023: £399 million) as a result 
of the above movements, primarily growth in 
rental income and reduced finance costs.
Adjusted profit is detailed further in Note 2 to 
the Financial Statements.
Adjusted earnings per share are 34.5 pence 
compared to 32.7 pence in 2023 due to the 
increase in Adjusted profit offset by the 
108.7 million increase in the average number 
of shares in issue compared to the prior year, 
largely as a result of the equity placing.

Balance sheet
At 31 December 2024, IFRS net assets were 
£12,049 million (31 December 2023: £10,904 
million), reflecting 889 pence per share 
(31 December 2023: 886 pence) on a diluted basis.
Adjusted NAV per share at 31 December 2024 
was 907 pence and flat compared to the prior 
year (31 December 2023: 907 pence). This 
movement primarily reflects profits and property 
gains, offset by dividends, the impact of the 
equity placing (where shares were issued at a 
price below net asset value per share) and 
exchange rate movements. The chart highlights 
the main factors behind the movement in 
Adjusted NAV. A reconciliation between IFRS 
and Adjusted NAV is available in Note 12 to the 
Financial Statements.
Cash flow and net debt reconciliation
Cash flows from operating activities of £459 
million are £125 million lower than the prior year. 
This is primarily due to the prior period including 
receipt of a performance fee (£89 million) and 
proceeds from disposal of a trading property 
(£35 million). Finance cost outflows of £141 million 
in servicing the debt facilities, represent a 
£26 million reduction on the prior year, reflecting 
lower net debt in the period. Interest rate risk 
management is detailed further in the Financial 
review on page 45. In addition there were tax 
payments of £17 million, primarily in France.
The Group made net investments of £377 million 
in investment and development properties 
during the year on a wholly-owned cash flow 
basis (2023: £487 million). This is principally 
driven by expenditure of £1,000 million 
(2023: £839 million) to purchase and develop 
investment properties to deliver further growth 
in line with our strategy. Disposals of investment 
properties increased by £271 million to £623 million 
compared to the prior year (2023: £352 million) as 
the business continued to recycle assets when 
the opportunity arose.
The largest cash flow in the year relates to 
proceeds from new equity of £889 million (being 
gross proceeds £907 million received net of 
costs) discussed in the Financing section above.
During the year £277 million (2023: £185 million) 
dividends were paid which is lower than the 
total dividend due to the level of scrip uptake 
of £115 million (2023: £129 million) and tax paid 
relating to the prior year Property Income 
Distribution of £13 million (2023: £13 million 
payment deferred).
Overall, net debt has decreased in the year by 
£728 million to £4,244 million.
Capital expenditure
Table 10 in the Supplementary Notes sets out 
analysis of the capital expenditure during the 
year. This includes acquisition and development 
spend, on an accruals basis, in respect of the 
Group’s wholly-owned investment and trading 
property portfolios, as well as the equivalent 
amounts for joint ventures and associates at share.
Total spend for the year was £1,104 million, broadly 
in line with the prior year (2023: £1,121 million), with 
reduced development spend offset by increased 
acquisition spend. More detail on this spend can 
be found in the Development and Investment 
Updates on pages 37 to 39.
Development capital expenditure was £471 million 
in the year (2023: £527 million) primarily in the UK. 
This includes infrastructure spend of £138 million 
(2023: £92 million). Interest of £69 million (2023: 
£68 million) has been capitalised in the year.
 
Spend on existing completed properties totalled 
£54 million (2023: £67 million), of which £1 million 
(2023: £1 million) was for incremental lettable 
space. The balance mainly comprises 
refurbishment and fit-out costs, which equates 
to less than 5 per cent of total spend.
Adjusted net asset value (pence per share)
IFRS profit
IFRS profit before tax in 2024 was £636 million 
(2023: £263 million loss), equating to basic 
post-tax IFRS profit per share of 44.7 pence 
compared with loss per share of 20.7 pence for 
2023. A reconciliation between Adjusted profit 
before tax and IFRS profit before tax is provided 
in Note 2 to the Financial Statements.
The principal driver of IFRS profit is realised and 
unrealised property gains which is the main 
reason for the higher profit per share in 2024 
versus 2023. Total gain on properties is 
£167 million (2023: £760 million loss). This 
includes a £195 million realised and unrealised 
property gain on investment and trading 
properties in the wholly-owned business 
(2023: £598 million loss) and £28 million loss 
from joint ventures and associates at share 
(2023: £162 million loss).
 
The largest component is valuation gains on 
investment properties of £90 million including 
joint ventures at share (2023: £809 million loss), 
which is driven by a 3.2 per cent increase in ERV 
and gains from development completions. These 
are discussed in more detail in the Performance 
review on page 35. Other property movements 
include profit on sale of wholly-owned investment 
properties of £75 million (2023: £39 million).
In addition, SEGRO recognised a tax charge in 
respect of adjustments of £30 million (2023: 
£20 million credit) primarily in relation to property 
disposals and valuation movements.

Dividend increase reflects the strong 
operational results and confidence for 
the future
Under the UK REIT rules, we are required to pay 
out 90 per cent of UK-sourced, tax-exempt rental 
profits as a ‘Property Income Distribution’ (PID). 
Since we also receive income from our properties 
in Continental Europe, our total dividend should 
normally exceed this minimum level and we 
target a payout ratio of 85 to 95 per cent of 
Adjusted profit after tax. We aim to deliver a 
progressive and sustainable dividend which 
grows in line with our profitability in order to 
achieve our goal of being a leading income- 
focused REIT.
 
The Board has concluded that it is appropriate 
to recommend an increase in the 2024 final 
dividend per share by 1.1 pence to 20.2 pence 
(2023: 19.1 pence). We will pay the 2024 final 
dividend as a PID and expect to pay the 2025 
interim dividend as an ordinary dividend. The 
Board’s recommendation is subject to approval 
by shareholders at the 2025 Annual General 
Meeting to be held on 30 April 2025, in which 
event the 2024 final dividend will be paid on 
14 May 2025 to shareholders on the register 
at the close of business on 28 March 2025.
In considering the final dividend, the Board took 
into account:
	– the policy of targeting a payout ratio of 
between 85 and 95 per cent of Adjusted profit 
after tax;
	– the desire to ensure that the dividend is 
sustainable and progressive throughout the 
cycle; and
	– the results for 2024 and the outlook for 
earnings.
The total dividend for the year will, therefore, be 
29.3 pence, a rise of 5.4 per cent versus 2023 
(27.8 pence) and represents distribution of 86 
per cent of Adjusted profit after tax.
The Board has decided not to offer a scrip 
dividend option for the 2024 final dividend.

Managing risk
Effective risk 
management
The Group Risk Committee, comprised of a 
team of knowledgeable and experienced senior 
management, has convened three times this year 
to oversee the risk management function on 
behalf of the Executive Committee. Whilst 
SEGRO’s principal risks remain relatively 
consistent from year to year, we place particular 
emphasis on key areas that respond to shifts in 
the external environment or within the business. 
This year, one area of focus has been the 
availability of power. Power was already a key part 
of the existing Development and Construction 
Execution risk. We continue to focus on the 
challenges in securing the right amount of power, 
in the right place, at the right time, to meet the 
demands of our customers and to optimise 
returns. We are increasing internal expertise to 
manage this risk and have established an Energy 
Strategy. We continue to work closely with 
governments, invest in on-site energy generation 
capacity and communicate with regulators. 
Emerging risks
In addition to monitoring our principal risks 
in the Risk Register, we actively identify and 
monitor emerging risks. These include a variety 
of factors such as longer-term customer trends, 
technological development and Artificial 
Intelligence, climate change-related extreme 
weather events and corporate growth. Two 
examples of what we consider are:
Technological development and 
Artificial Intelligence
There may be negative and/or unintended 
consequences of advances in technological 
capabilities as well as significant opportunities. 
Artificial Intelligence is developing extremely 
quickly and longer term, there is uncertainty 
around its application, significant interconnectivity 
with existing risks and potential detrimental 
knock-on effects. SEGRO must closely monitor 
these developments to be in a position to 
maximise potential longer-term opportunities.
Customer concentration and trends
If SEGRO fails to predict longer-term customer 
preferences, we could end up holding assets 
which do not meet customer demand and this 
could be linked to a lack of competitiveness. 
SEGRO monitors changes in customer demand 
and their drivers (which may be associated with 
other risk areas such as climate change, 
technological and power demand). To mitigate 
these risks, SEGRO maintains close relationships 
with customers whilst also monitoring customer 
concentration risk.
Soumen Das
Chief Financial Officer
Successful delivery of our 
strategy supported by a 
professional and functional 
risk management programme. 
An effective, proportionate, reliable and 
integrated risk management process is essential 
to support our strategy, decision-making and 
business model. Our risk management approach 
ensures that SEGRO can remain stable and 
resilient in the face of ongoing macroeconomic 
uncertainty and disruption. This approach also 
ensures we are best positioned to capitalise from 
any short- and long-term market improvement. 
Annual risk management update
Throughout the year, the Board and key 
committees have overseen our response to 
external challenges and their broader economic 
implications, as well as internal risks. As a result, 
proactive measures have been taken to mitigate 
impacts on our operations, strategy and 
stakeholders. We regularly review our investment 
plans and manage our balance sheet diligently 
to protect SEGRO against future uncertainty.

Risk management provides a structured 
approach to decision making that aims to reduce 
uncertainty regarding expected outcomes and 
keep controllable risks within our appetite. This 
allows us to protect value for our stakeholders, 
both now and in the future.
Risk appetite is at the core of our risk 
management process and guides business 
decisions, making it integral to our strategic 
considerations and medium-term planning. 
It is applicable throughout the organisation, 
including joint ventures and associates.
The Group’s risk appetite is reviewed annually and 
approved by the Board. In addition to qualitative 
descriptions, our risk appetite defines tolerances 
and targets for key metrics, as well as criteria for 
assessing the potential impact of risks and our 
strategies for mitigating them. We have different 
risk appetites for different types of risk and they 
are dynamic, adapting over time and throughout 
the property cycle. Overall, the Group maintains 
a low appetite for risk, aligning with our strategic 
objective of delivering long-term sustainable value.
Our risk appetite
Managing risk continued
SEGRO recognises that achieving 
outperformance from our portfolio requires 
accepting a balanced level of property risk to 
enhance opportunities for superior returns. 
Our portfolio aims for attractive, low-risk 
income returns and resilience in downturns. 
Our development is supported by appropriate 
land holdings and we rely on a diverse occupier 
base avoiding overspecialised properties 
where possible. 
The Group maintains a low appetite for financial 
risk overall, with an especially low tolerance for 
risks related to solvency and gearing covenant 
breaches. As a REIT, we prioritise stable earnings 
and dividends, and seek long-term growth in net 
asset value, although we recognise that external 
factors can influence the property cycle. We 
acknowledge that a moderate leverage strategy 
can amplify the effects of market-driven asset 
valuation fluctuations on net asset value.
The Group has a very low appetite for risks 
that could harm our reputation with customers 
and other stakeholders, including investors, 
regulators, employees, business partners, 
suppliers, lenders, and the communities where 
we operate. Our responsibilities to these 
stakeholders encompass compliance with 
relevant laws, accurate and timely reporting of 
financial and regulatory information, protecting 
the health and safety of all stakeholders, 
considering our environmental impact, adhering 
to ethical codes of conduct, ensuring business 
continuity, and contributing positively to our 
local communities.

Our integrated and robust approach to 
risk management
The risk management process aims to identify, 
assess, respond to and record significant risks 
that may affect the Group’s objectives. Since 
most risks can often only be partially avoided, 
the focus is on mitigation and the process 
provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance 
regarding the effectiveness. Continuous 
oversight ensures SEGRO can adapt to changing 
risks and SEGRO therefore monitors emerging as 
well as principal risks.
The Board has conducted a thorough 
assessment of the principal risks facing the 
Group, formally reviewing them twice a year. 
Additionally, the Board has completed its annual 
review and approval of the Group’s risk appetite 
and risk management policy. The Audit 
Committee has evaluated the adequacy of the 
Group Risk process during the year.
While the Board acknowledges limited control 
over many external risks such as global events, 
macroeconomic trends and regulatory factors, 
it remains committed to assessing their potential 
impact on the business and subsequent 
decision-making. Internal risks are closely 
monitored to ensure that effective controls are 
in place and functioning as intended.
The most significant risks are detailed in the 
Group Risk Register, where they are assessed in 
both inherent (before controls) and residual (after 
controls) states. Risk impact is measured against 
our risk appetite to categorise each risk as below 
appetite, within appetite, tolerable or intolerable. 
We also formally assess the velocity of significant 
risks. Each identified risk has a range of mitigating 
controls established to manage it effectively.
A Key Risk Indicator (KRI) dashboard is regularly 
produced and monitored to track actual and 
forecast performance against our risk appetite 
metrics. This dashboard facilitates informed 
decision-making by providing a clear overview of 
risk status. KRIs are routinely reviewed by relevant 
monitoring committees as part of their decision-
making processes and play a crucial role in the 
Group’s Medium-Term Plan, ensuring alignment 
with our strategic objectives.
The Register is used as a key input to determine 
priorities for the Group’s internal audit assurance 
programme. Furthermore, management’s annual 
self-assessment of internal control effectiveness 
is driven by the register.
Our framework for risk governance
The first line of defence is provided by the part 
of the business that has primary responsibility to 
own and manage the risk. 
The second line of defence is provided by the 
committee or group that oversees the risk or 
which specialises in compliance or risk 
management. This would typically be a monitoring 
committee such as the Executive Committee or 
the Investment Committee, as well as the risk 
management function overseen by the Group 
Risk Committee. 
The third line of defence is provided by Internal 
Audit which gives objective and independent 
assurance over whether the first and second lines 
of defence are operating effectively. 
The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring 
that risk is effectively and consistently managed 
across the Group. The Audit Committee monitors 
effectiveness on behalf of the Board. 
Further information on compliance with the risk 
management provisions of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code can be found in the Internal 
controls and risk management section of the 
Audit Committee Report. 
Accountabilities for the Group’s risk management 
are outlined in the diagram.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks have the potential to affect 
SEGRO’s business materially. Risks are classified 
as ‘principal’ based on their potential to intolerably 
exceed our appetite (considering both inherent 
and residual impact) and cause material harm to 
the Group.
The principal risks are reviewed and amended to 
reflect changing knowledge, understanding and 
assessment. Some risks that may be unknown at 
present, as well as other risks that are currently 
regarded as immaterial and therefore not detailed 
here, could turn out to be material in the future. 
SEGRO records emerging risks which have yet to 
reach full maturity and the impact, probability and 
timing of the risks is difficult to quantify. SEGRO 
monitor emerging risks and considers whether an 
emerging risk should be recorded, instead, as a 
principal risk. 
The current principal risks that the Group is aware 
that it is facing are summarised in the diagram 
and described on the following pages. The 
descriptions indicate the potential areas of 
impact on the Group’s strategy; the time-horizon 
and probability of the risk; the principal activities 
that are in place to mitigate and manage such 
risks; the committees that provide second line 
of defence oversight; changes in the level of risk 
over the course of the year; and link to further 
relevant information in this report. 
A summary of the Group’s principal risks is

Further Information

The property market is cyclical in nature and, 
therefore, there is a risk that the Group may 
misinterpret or fail to react appropriately to 
changes in the property market, cost of 
finance or broader macroeconomic and 
geopolitical conditions. 
This misjudgement could lead to the adoption of 
an inappropriate strategy or hinder the execution 
of an existing strategy, ultimately affecting 
property performance and shareholder value.
Mitigations 
The Executive Committee, Investment 
Committee, and ultimately the Board continuously 
monitor the property market cycle and adjust 
the Group’s investment and divestment stance 
in response to both current and anticipated 
market conditions.
Multiple, diverse investment and occupier market 
intelligence is regularly reviewed and considered, 
both from internal ‘on-the-ground’ sources and 
from independent external sources.
Investment Committee papers incorporate both 
upside and downside scenarios to evaluate the 
impact of varying market conditions and to 
inform our portfolio strategy (see separate 
principal risk).
The Group’s Total Property and/or Shareholder 
Returns could underperform in absolute or 
relative terms as a result of an inappropriate 
portfolio strategy. This could be caused by:
	– Incorrect or ineffective capital allocation 
decisions;
	– 	Poor or incorrect market or asset level 
assumptions (see separate macroeconomic 
principal risk);
	– 	Inaccurate modelling or forecasting;
	– 	Lack of appropriate procedures and inadequate 
due diligence resulting in lengthy, onerous or 
costly transactions;
	– 	Inaccuracy of data or failure of due diligence.
Mitigations
The Board regularly reviews the Group’s portfolio 
strategy in order to consider the desired shape of 
the portfolio. The portfolio strategy should align 
with the Group’s overall strategy and adapt to 
market conditions. Major capital investment and 
disposal decisions require Board approval. 
Policies are in place to govern investment activity.
Regular analysis ensures that the portfolio is 
optimally positioned in terms of location and 
asset type, maintaining the right balance 
between core and opportunity assets. The annual 
asset planning exercise provides a bottom-up 
assessment of the performance and potential for 
all existing assets, helping to determine where to 
invest capital and to identify assets for disposal. 
Investment hurdle rates are regularly reappraised 
taking into account estimates of our weighted 
average cost of capital. 
Current year activity
The uncertain economic backdrop and elevated 
geopolitical risk was reflected in lower pre-let 
volumes in 2024. There are signs that the 
investment markets are improving as we enter 
a new phase of the market cycle. 
In response, we have continued to perform 
thorough economic outlook assessments. We 
continue to mitigate our corporate risk through an 
appropriate financing strategy (see other principal 
risk) and ensure that the consequences for our 
portfolio strategy are appropriately aligned (see 
separate principal risk). This preparation enables 
us to withstand economic shocks and take 
advantage of market opportunities. 
Current year activity
The Group maintains a disciplined and responsive 
approach to portfolio management and capital 
allocation, as outlined in the Performance review 
section. We continuously review our portfolio and 
uphold appropriate investment criteria and hurdle 
rates to ensure resilience against macroeconomic 
uncertainty.
The Group’s approach to capital allocation is 
informed by comprehensive asset plans and 
independent external assessments of market 
conditions and forecasts. Locally based property 
investment and operational teams provide market 
intelligence and utilise their networks to identify 
attractive opportunities. These teams are 
overseen by the UK and Continental European 
Heads of Investment.

Principal risks continued
Unexpected global, regional or national events 
may result in severe adverse disruption to SEGRO, 
such as sustained asset value or revenue 
impairment, solvency or covenant stress, liquidity 
or business continuity challenges. A global event 
or business disruptor may include, but is not 
limited to, a global financial crisis, health 
pandemic, power/water shortages, weather-
related event, war or civil unrest, acts of terrorism, 
cyber breach (either malicious or accidental) or 
other IT disruption. Events may be singular or 
cumulative, and lead to business disruption and 
impair the operating environment.
Mitigations
The Group ensures its resilience against a global 
event and business disruption through its 
financing strategy (see separate principal risk), 
diverse portfolio strategy (see separate principal 
risk), resilient work force and detailed business 
continuity and disaster recovery plans. Where 
appropriate, relevant insurance is procured and 
horizon scans help identify potential upcoming 
risk areas. The assessment of going concern and 
viability is conducted through a detailed, bottom-
up, medium-term planning process including a 
business stress test and downside scenarios.
Specialist employees, overseen by our 
Technology Committee, ensure the resilience 
and security of our technology through controls, 
training, testing, and audits. We maintain robust 
processes and controls for business continuity 
and IT disaster recovery. Additionally, we use 
third-party experts to supplement our internal 
expertise when testing our resilience to 
cyber-attacks.
Current year activity
As geopolitical instability continues, it creates 
uncertainty for the Group’s operations and 
stakeholders.
The Group maintains its robust financing and 
portfolio strategy, ensuring flexibility and 
preparedness for major events and business 
disruptions. The Board and other committees 
remain vigilant and responsive, actively managing 
risk mitigation as situations evolve.
The business continuity plan continues to 
operate successfully. The annual asset planning 
process reviews any areas of weakness in the 
portfolio with associated plans to rectify them. 
Our cyber breach response plan was reviewed 
and we implemented an extended detection 
and response system and service to improve 
our speed and ability around detecting 
potential threats. We continue regular training 
and testing of employees and this year have 
increased content focusing on deepfakes and 
Artificial Intelligence.

Principal risks continued
A health and safety incident may occur which 
involves harm to an individual or loss of life. 
This may be associated with the failure of safety 
management systems, failure of a building or 
other physical asset, or negligence of a third-
party. Furthermore, the Group may breach 
relevant legislation or fail to provide suitable 
employee support. The consequence may be 
litigation, fines, serious reputational damage or 
a negative impact on employees.
Mitigations
A health and safety policy and management 
system is in place, and best practice is reviewed 
with the Health and Safety Working Group. The 
working group continuously monitors health and 
safety practices, including incidents, inspections, 
and training across the business. Legal guidance 
and additional support are provided by local 
health and safety consultants and lawyers, 
who offer regulatory assurance alongside our 
internal expertise.
Construction monitoring activities continue 
through our contracted external consultants in 
each country through in person development 
inspections, with SEGRO support. Incidents and 
inspections are tracked across the Group on 
a health and safety management system. 
Failure to adequately anticipate and/or respond to 
the impact of climate change or lack of 
preparation for environmental risks following:
	– Increased severity and unpredictability of 
weather-related events leading to more 
frequent damage to our buildings;
	– Changes in laws, regulations, policies, taxation, 
and reporting requirements;
	– 	Changes in social attitudes and customer 
requirements whereby SEGRO are required 
to alter the design and build of properties 
and/or energy provision to buildings 
and/or commitments to climate change 
mitigation initiatives.
These risks may result in financial cost to SEGRO, 
disruption to our customers, fines, fall in share price 
or negative reputational effect, reduced demand 
for our properties and reduce competitiveness.
Climate-related risks, their time horizon and their 
management and mitigation are detailed further 
on pages 68 to 69.
Mitigations
Championing low-carbon growth is one of 
our three Responsible SEGRO priorities. The 
Responsible SEGRO framework guides our 
efforts to reduce corporate and customer, and 
embodied carbon emissions, and is supported 
by our Mandatory Sustainability policy. 
The sustainability team update the Executive 
Committee monthly and the Board annually. 
The Strategic Priorities Steering Group meets 
fortnightly and is tasked with aligning activities 
across the strategic priority areas, including 
Championing low-carbon growth.
Our Sustainability team supports group and local 
teams with data gathering and understanding 
legal and regulatory requirements, as well as 
sharing best practice and guidance from external 
advisors overseeing compliance with the 
Mandatory Sustainability Policy.
SEGRO maintains a zero-tolerance approach to 
poor health and safety practices and collaborates 
closely with suppliers and health and safety 
consultants to enhance understanding and 
implementation of SEGRO’s requirements.
SEGRO’s health and safety management system 
is supported by site inspections of existing and 
potential new assets, as part of proactive 
management, and development project 
inspections in line with SEGRO’s Health and 
Safety Construction Standard.
Current year activity
Employee training continues to be rolled out, 
virtually and in-person with our training partners. 
SEGRO has launched a new safety management 
system controlling safety procedures. The health 
and safety team have access to a legal register 
provided by a third party to ensure that SEGRO 
remain up to date on legislative changes and 
monitor future changes. Routine monthly health 
and safety reporting is in place to internal 
operational, technical and leadership teams and 
the health and safety team respond to feedback 
and experiences, as well as reviewing specific 
practices and controls where required.
A climate resilience study has been conducted to 
evaluate the physical risks to our portfolio, detailed 
further on page 65.
Current year activity
Our Responsible SEGRO framework continues 
to outline our strategy to reduce our corporate 
and customer carbon emissions and embodied 
carbon. During the year we strengthened our 
internal governance approach by creating a 
taskforce, consisting of two members of the 
Executive Committee, a senior Finance Director 
and our Director, Sustainability to review our 
carbon reduction targets. We intend to maintain 
this governance taskforce to monitor progress. 
See page 73 for details of further actions 
during 2024.
We have appointed a Head of Sustainable Finance 
to support our compliance with the emerging EU 
non-financial reporting requirements. We continue 
to work with advisors on increasing disclosure 
requirements, allowing for more robust reporting 
and assurance processes. Environmental 
considerations are increasingly important in asset 
acquisition and disposal decision-making, 
developments and refurbishment decisions.

Principal risks continued
The Group has an extensive current programme 
and future pipeline of developments which 
brings the following risks: 
	– Above-appetite exposure to non-income 
producing assets, reducing returns;
	– Below-appetite land holdings restricting 
opportunities; 
	– Poor land acquisition due diligence or over 
optimistic appraisal assumptions;
	– Contractor default or poor performance 
leading to cost over-runs; 
	– Regulatory/legal breach associated with a 
health and safety incident, defect or deleterious 
materials in buildings.
This could result in increased costs and delays, 
reduced returns, reputational damage and fines.
Mitigations
We closely monitor our exposure to non-income 
producing assets (including land, infrastructure, 
and speculative developments), especially when 
acquisition decisions are being made by the 
Investment Committee. The Acquisition and 
Disposals policy sets out key stages of 
transactions and the authorisations required. 
Our development programme prioritises pre-let 
opportunities. We retain a high level of optionality 
in our future development programme, including 
land acquisition, and commitment to 
infrastructure and buildings. 
The risk of cost overruns or supply chain issues is, 
at least in part, mitigated by using our experienced 
development teams and a panel of trusted 
advisors and contractors, and typically using fixed 
price contracts. Collaboration with contractors and 
ongoing communication helps to identify potential 
issues and possible solutions ahead of time. 
The risk of contractor default is reduced by using 
a diverse group of companies which have been 
through a rigorous onboarding process and close 
monitoring of their financial strength. Short 
development lead-times allow for quick 
responses to changing market conditions. 
The Group could suffer an acute liquidity or 
solvency crisis caused by a failure in design or 
execution of its financing strategy. Such an event 
may be caused by a number of factors including 
a failure to obtain debt or equity funding (for 
example, due to market disruption or rating 
downgrade); having an inappropriate debt 
structure (including leverage level, debt maturity, 
interest rate or currency exposure); poor 
forecasting; defaulting on loan agreements as a 
result of a breach of financial or other covenants; 
or counterparty default.
This could result in an inability for SEGRO to 
finance its growth strategy and financial loss or 
financial distress.
Mitigations
The Treasury Strategy is reviewed annually by 
the Board and the quarterly report is sent to the 
Executive Committee to ensure our key risk 
metrics are reviewed regularly. The Group’s 
financing strategy is consistent with the Group’s 
risk appetite, MTP and long-term business 
strategy. Our Treasury policy outlines key 
parameters and comprehensive controls to 
ensure effective execution of this strategy.
Oversight is maintained internally by the 
Construction Steering Group which coordinates 
with the Health and Safety team to manage 
challenges such as defects or deleterious 
materials in buildings. Technical best practice in 
development is maintained via cross business 
forums. Additionally, the Partnership Development 
team engages with stakeholders as part of 
SEGRO’s social responsibilities and supports 
planning processes.
Current year activity
Due to continuing variability in market conditions, 
we have maintained our stringent investment 
criteria. We carefully monitor the value of land 
holdings considering prevailing market conditions, 
looking for optionality where possible. We continue 
to partner with our contractors as we expect lump 
sum contracts may become harder to agree or 
will incur increased costs due to contractors 
accounting for additional risks. We monitor 
‘overspecification’ of projects and investigate 
ways to drive best value from costs to ensure 
SEGRO is not at risk of becoming uncompetitive.
The Group periodically assesses its financing 
needs based on opportunities and market 
conditions and maintains long-term relationships 
with various finance providers.
Current year activity
The Group holds a significant presence in the 
euro bond, sterling bond and US private placement 
markets. SELP also holds a significant presence in 
the euro bond market.
This positions us well financially to support 
activities aligned with our strategic priorities. 
Furthermore, the Group continues to utilise fixed 
rate debt and pertinent derivatives to mitigate the 
risk of rising interest rates both currently and in 
the future.
We continue to be advised by our lending banks 
and corporate brokers that we can access all 
capital markets as demonstrated by the £907m 
equity raise in February 2024 and the €500m 
SEGRO bond in September 2024. Liquidity 
remains strong due to the facilities put in place 
and there is substantial headroom vs all our 
financial covenants.

Further Information
Principal risks continued
The Group could fail to comply with laws, 
regulations or governance obligations, which 
are applicable now, or may become applicable 
in the future. Such failures could lead to material 
litigation, censure, penalties and fines, as well as 
potentially significant reputational damage and 
loss of stakeholder confidence. It could also 
impact the Company’s REIT and SIIC status and 
damage relationships with tax authorities. 
Compliance with future new laws and/or 
regulations introduced by governments in the 
countries in which the Company operates could 
potentially impact the business and its ability to 
achieve its strategic objectives. 
A lack of employee awareness of the obligations 
which apply to the Company, as well as its culture 
may lead to an increased risk of unethical, 
fraudulent and/or unacceptable behaviour 
including breaches of the Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics.
Mitigations
Internal legal and company secretariat experts 
continue to monitor developments in the legal, 
governance and regulatory environment, 
together with their colleagues in the tax, health 
and safety and sustainability functions. The 
Company appoints well-respected and high-
quality external advisers to help it manage and 
monitor this further, with Heads of functions 
regularly consulting with external advisers; 
attending relevant briefings; and participating 
as members of key bodies.
Compliance with joint venture agreements is 
handled by skilled legal, company secretariat, 
property, tax and finance colleagues. 
Comprehensive governance and compliance 
structures, including management manuals, are 
in place as required. The Company also closely 
monitors taxation regulations with advisers to 
promptly address any changes affecting the 
Group or its stakeholders. SEGRO’s experienced 
internal tax team manages the Group’s tax 
compliance, and REIT and SIIC compliance is 
reviewed bi-annually. 
The Executive Committee regularly consider 
legal and regulatory risks and significant legal and 
regulatory updates or changes are communicated 
to the Board and Audit Committee as soon 
as appropriate.
Current year activity
The legal and regulatory environment remains 
dynamic with an ever-increasing number of new 
laws and regulations. Governments and 
regulators continue to take a more aggressive 
stance on enforcement, with private entities also 
increasingly looking to bring civil suits. A tender 
of the UK Real Estate Legal Panel was carried out 
in the second half of 2024 with an additional firm 
appointed to help manage legal risk further. 
We continue to raise awareness of the obligations 
of employees set out in the Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics, with all new employees 
required to carry out mandatory training and 
targeted training also being delivered where 
appropriate. All employees are required to 
confirm compliance with the Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics each year, where they must 
also confirm that they are not aware of any 
breaches or inappropriate behaviour having 
taken place. The Company continued its supplier 
screening programme and supplier interviews 
where members of the Company’s legal team 
talk to suppliers to ensure that appropriate and 
robust anti-bribery, corruption and fraud policies 
and procedures, as well as policies and procedures 
to prevent modern slavery occurring, are in place. 
The Supplier Code of Conduct also reinforces the 
behaviour expected from suppliers and those 
working for the Company. Further detail on the 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is on page 
75 of the Governance Report.

Principal risks continued
The performance of the business could be 
impaired due to SEGRO:
	– Not having the appropriate culture, 
organisational structure, skilled people or 
resource levels;
	– Failing to attract, motivate, retain and develop 
diverse talent as part of our Nurturing talent 
ambition; 
	– Failing to prepare adequate talent management 
or succession plans. 
This could be caused by ineffective people 
policies and processes including recruitment 
and onboarding, organisational structure, talent 
management and succession, reward and 
recognition, learning and development, 
performance management, hybrid working 
practices or a lack of appropriate social policies.
Mitigations
Our goal is a sustainable business, inclusive and 
diverse, as outlined in our Responsible SEGRO 
framework. Succession planning and key person 
risk are reviewed at least annually with the 
Executive Committee and the Board. We review 
compensation annually with a third party to 
ensure appropriate salary ranges. We have 
various incentive tools which can be applied 
flexibly during the year to retain talented 
employees and these are reviewed by the 
Remuneration Committee. The hiring, appraisal, 
succession planning, and talent processes are 
regularly reviewed, and employee engagement 
surveys are conducted to understand 
employee sentiment.
The Group may experience operational failures 
such as: increased level of customer defaults; 
supply chain disruptions; reporting failure or 
delay; fraud error or disruption of treasury 
operations; inaccurate or misleading valuation 
reporting; erroneous lease execution or 
inaccurate lease data; or poor customer insight 
and retention. 
These issues could lead to various adverse 
effects, including reputational damage, 
regulatory censure or fines, additional and 
unplanned costs, reduced income and property 
valuation, illiquidity and missed opportunities 
reducing SEGRO’s competitiveness. 
Mitigations
The Group is dedicated to maintaining a high 
standard of operational excellence. The Executive 
Committee and Joint Operating Group consistently 
monitor various risks associated with property 
management, organisational effectiveness, and 
customer relations. Each operational area is 
supervised by a skilled central team and often 
local team members. We periodically review our 
policies and procedures to ensure their continued 
appropriateness and verify compliance through 
both internal and external audits. Additionally, 
we maintain sufficient insurance coverage across 
the Group.
We use reputable external experts to advise us 
and receive market insights. Our internal teams 
are also supported by bespoke tools to govern 
the process associated with operational delivery.
We ensure that our customer base is diverse 
and wherever possible, possesses financial 
stability, which we monitor closely along with 
customer concentration metrics. We undertake 
an annual customer satisfaction survey and 
conduct interviews with senior customer 
stakeholders to facilitate identification of key 
customer requirements. 
Current year activity
After a period of reorganisation in 2023, the wider 
organisation is now more stable, with new teams 
established and a number of new hires to 
supplement our existing workforce, although 
headcount and costs are broadly flat. 
Over the summer we completed a people 
planning exercise across the Company, to 
proactively plan for resourcing and development 
needs. This was led by individual Leadership 
Team members and culminated in a review of 
the organisation and talent/succession plans by 
the Executive Committee and Group Board.
We have progressed our Nurturing talent agenda 
with the introduction of an enhanced suite of 
family-friendly policies across the Group and 
launch of a new approach to performance 
management that further embeds our values 
and behaviours. We have also introduced new 
assessment and development tools deeper into 
the organisation and continued our focus on 
inclusion and diversity.
Current year activity
We continue to cultivate close engagement with 
our customers as well as continually assessing 
the risks associated with customer concentration 
and monitoring and reporting customer 
covenant risk. 
An automated letting recommendation 
application, which is a workflow tool, is now in 
place in all countries and is producing valuation 
management information. The SEGRO asset 
management application, another workflow tool, 
is in the process of being rolled out across the 
Group country-by-country and, together with 
the letting recommendation tool, increases 
efficiency, consistency and control. A customer 
insight tool has been rolled out across Group to 
maximise collaboration. 
We collaborate with our supply chain and 
have reviewed key suppliers to ensure suitable 
alternatives are available if one fails. Critical 
suppliers include contractors and their sub-
contractors (detailed more fully in the 
Development and Construction Execution risk) 
and IT suppliers. Additionally, we continue to 
ensure prompt payment to our suppliers.

Viability statement
Confirmation of viability
The Directors have considered the Group’s 
prospects, including reference to the Group’s 
principal risks, to form the basis of our 
assessment of short-term and longer-term 
viability. The process for conducting this 
assessment is summarised in the Audit 
Committee’s report on page 98.
The Directors confirm that they have a reasonable 
expectation that the Group will be able to 
continue in operation and has adequate 
resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due 
over the next five years.
The assessment of viability is split into short-term 
and longer-term time horizons. 
Short-term assessment
The short-term assessment included consideration 
of our going concern assessment and a review 
of key controls around liquidity management. 
Management regularly reviews the Group’s 
liquidity position and operating results. In 
addition, key treasury metrics including financial 
covenants are reviewed by the Executive 
Committee on a quarterly basis.
Longer-term assessment
The period assessed for the longer term is the 
same five-year time horizon as covered by the 
Group’s annual rolling five-year strategic financial 
plan. This is considered to be the optimum 
balance between our need to plan for the long 
term, and the progressively unreliable nature of 
forecasting in later years, particularly given the 
historically cyclical nature of the property industry. 
The strategic financial plan comprises a five-year 
Medium-Term Plan (MTP) and an Asset Plan, 
within the context of macroeconomic and 
property market outlooks provided by external 
advisers and SEGRO expertise.
The central corporate team and each country 
or regional property team provide a forecast for 
revenue and costs for the business for the MTP and 
for total returns from each asset for the Asset Plan. 
They also provide forecasts on potential 
development activity from the existing land bank, 
refurbishment of existing assets (including with 
regard to current and expected environmental 
legislation – see pages 64 to 71 for more detail 
on climate-related financial disclosure) and their 
expectations of acquisitions and disposals.
This process generates a five-year forecast for 
capital expenditure and associated funding 
requirements, net income, net asset values and 
cash flows. The Directors confirm that they have 
no reason to expect a step-change in the Group’s 
viability immediately following the five-year 
period assessed. 
In addition to the robust ongoing assessment 
and management of the risks facing the Group, 
as already set out in this section, the Group has 
stress tested the MTP. The stress tests consider 
the risks that could either individually, or in 
aggregate, threaten the viability of the Group, 
represented by the breach of key financial ratios 
and covenants. The risks are based on an 
individual event or combination of events 
occurring, using historic data (for example the 
acute property valuation decline in 2007–2009) 
and forward-looking probability analysis where 
available. The process for conducting the 
Group’s assessment is the responsibility of the 
Chief Financial Officer and is overseen by the 
Audit Committee.
The main stress tests carried out in 2024, along 
with their potential impacts, were: 
	– Zero market rental (ERV) growth throughout 
the period: the main impacts are lower asset 
values and adjusted NAV throughout the period, 
with earnings growth reduced in later years.
	– A scenario where, in addition to the previous 
scenario, occupier demand for new space 
slows, manifested in reduced take-up of 
standing assets and development levels: 
the main impacts are reduced earnings growth 
throughout the period (primarily from fewer 
development completions), while gearing levels 
benefit from lower capital expenditure. 
	– A scenario where, in addition to the two 
previous scenarios, capital value decline, 
manifested through a 100bp increase in 
yields: the main impacts are lower asset values 
throughout the period, causing leverage to rise.
	– Impact of rising interest rates, manifested in 
a reverse stress test to assess what level of 
interest rates would cause a covenant breach: 
a rise of at least six percentage points in the 
Group’s average interest rate across the period 
assuming current levels of fixed rate interest 
and protection from our interest rate caps.
Reverse stress testing was also undertaken over 
the period under review. None of the financial 
covenants were breached during the five-year 
period, with gearing remaining comfortably 
below 160 per cent and interest cover well above 
1.25 times. 
Property valuations would need to fall by around 
54 per cent from their 31 December 2024 values 
to reach the gearing covenant threshold of 160 
per cent. A 54 per cent fall in property values 
would equate to an LTV ratio of approximately 61 
per cent. Net property rental income would need 
to fall by around 66 per cent from 2024 levels to 
reach the interest cover covenant threshold of 
1.25 times.
Outside the MTP, the following viability risks were 
also considered:
	– A 10 per cent movement in foreign exchange 
rates: due to long-term hedging arrangements 
in place foreign exchange movements are not 
considered a material risk to the Group’s viability.
	– An inability to refinance maturing debt: the 
nearest material refinancing requirement is in 
2025 (SELP) and 2026 (SEGRO) so the risk to 
the Group’s viability is towards the start of the 
period. We tend to refinance long-term debt 
around 12 months in advance of maturities 
and, should relationship bank lending, equity 
and bond markets be unavailable, options to 
raise liquidity include reductions in capital 
expenditure and increased asset disposals.
	– A sustained interruption to the Group’s 
business continuity: a qualitative assessment 
of SEGRO’s ability to operate with compromised 
workspace and IT structure is carried out each 
year, with regular live scenario tests undertaken 
by key members of staff with the help of external 
advisers to ensure responses are rehearsed and 
mitigations are in place. No material threat to 
SEGRO’s viability was identified.
	– Climate-related threats to the portfolio: 
working with Savills Earth, we conducted a 
climate risk exposure study to assess the acute 
and chronic physical risks to our portfolio 
spanning a period from current day to 2100. 
Drought stress presents as the most significant 
emerging chronic hazard but with limited 
impact on our assets. Heat Stress and River 
Flood are other areas where there is an increase 
in risk exposure compared to baseline, but 
assets exposed to these hazards represent only 
5 to 6 per cent of rental value. Therefore, we do 
not consider such risks to be a threat to the 
viability of the Group. Further information can 
be found on pages 65 and 66. 
The scenarios set out are hypothetical and severe 
for the purpose of creating outcomes which have 
the ability to threaten the viability of the Group. 
We also note that, in the event of a severe threat 
to liquidity, various options are available to the 
Group to maintain viability. These options include 
reduction of any non-committed capital 
expenditure and acquisitions, selling assets, or 
reducing cash dividends (including the use of 
scrip dividends). 
We are optimistic about the longer-term 
prospects of our business based on our prime, 
sustainable portfolio, high levels of occupancy let 
to a diverse range of customers on long average 
lease lengths, backed by strong balance sheet 
with long debt maturity and with well spread 
diversified refinancing requirements. These are 
supported by the long-term trends in the 
warehouse and industrial real estate sector of 
greater e-commerce penetration of retail sales, 
supply chain reconfiguration and increasing 
urbanisation across Europe.

Streamlined energy and carbon reporting
We are proud of the part that our buildings play 
in supporting our customers to achieve 
efficiencies and carbon reductions throughout 
their supply chain, and this is reflected in 
SEGRO’s comprehensive approach to carbon 
management. SEGRO’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions 
(our ‘corporate’ emissions – those covered by 
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) 
account for less than 1 per cent of our total 
(Scopes 1 to 3) carbon emissions. 
Customer energy use in our buildings totalled 
382,192 tonnes of CO2e, equating to 52 per cent 
of total 2024 emissions and the carbon emissions 
related to the construction of new buildings 
(known as embodied carbon) represent a further 
32 per cent. This is why SEGRO’s two key carbon 
reduction metrics are our corporate and 
customer carbon intensity and our embodied 
carbon intensity. 
In 2024, we have achieved a 4 per cent reduction 
in the embodied carbon intensity of our 
developments; our development teams and 
contractors have applied innovative approaches 
to materials and design to reduce the embodied 
carbon intensity of our buildings. Our corporate 
and customer carbon intensity saw an increase 
of 1 per cent, primarily driven by our success in 
bringing forward our data centre pipeline. 
However, this is in line with our new science-
based net-zero target, and we will continue to 
work closely with all our customers to ensure they 
make good progress on that commitment. More 
of our customers are sharing their energy data 
with us than ever before, meaning we have actual 
data covering 87 per cent of our floor area (2023: 
81 per cent) improving the accuracy of our 
emissions figures. 
Streamlined energy and carbon reporting 
(SECR)
The SECR legislation only covers our corporate 
emissions which accounts for less than 1 per cent 
of SEGRO’s total emissions. For our full Scopes 1 
to 3 carbon footprint, and all of the metrics we are 
tracking on our path to net-zero carbon, please 
see our Responsible SEGRO Report. 
In line with best practice, we report both a 
‘market-based’ and ‘location-based’ figure for 
emissions from electricity consumption. The 
market-based approach incorporates SEGRO’s 
move towards low-carbon energy tariffs on its 
controlled space (largely its SEGRO-occupied 
offices, SEGRO-managed common parts and 
vacant space), whereas the ‘location-based’ 
approach uses national grid averages 
(see the notes to the table below for more 
on location/market). 
SLR Consulting provide limited independent 
assurance to ASAE3000. 
Reporting Methodology
The SECR figures above have been prepared in 
accordance with the GHG Protocol to discharge 
our regulatory obligation to report greenhouse 
gas emissions pursuant to section 7 of the 
Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and 
Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 and the 
Companies (Directors’ Report), and Limited 
Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) 
Regulations 2018; the latter commonly referred to 
as Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting. 
We report our data using an operational control 
approach to define our organisational boundary 
and have reported emissions following both the 
location-based and market-based approach, 
using the IEA residual emission factors for any 
energy tariffs that are not low-carbon. 
We have chosen ‘responsible floor area’ as our 
intensity metric, which is all floor area with Scope 
1 and 2 emissions in the reporting year, apportioned 
to the length of time the space was vacant.
‘Total energy use’ covers electricity, fuels 
(including transport fuels) and district heating 
converted to kWh units. Our Responsible 
SEGRO Report, and a detailed description 
of our methodology, can be found at  
SEGRO.com/Responsible-SEGRO/reports-
downloads. The 2024 greenhouse gas emissions 
and energy use data above are for the period 
1 January to 31 December 2024 (2023: 1 January 
to 31 December 2023).

Climate-related financial disclosures
As a leading owner, manager and developer 
of industrial and warehouse assets in Europe, 
our sustainability and financial strength is reliant 
upon an effective and rigorous risk management 
framework. Our properties span the UK and 
Continental Europe and are therefore exposed 
to a variety of effects from a changing climate. 
We believe that these climate-related risks, if 
unmitigated, present a threat to society as well as 
to our business operations and financial strength 
over the coming decades.
We have taken further steps towards our strategy 
to reduce the carbon intensity of our business 
through setting updated science-based 
reduction targets in our greenhouse gas (GHG) 
emissions, based on our latest plans and 
projections. We aim to reduce the embodied 
carbon intensity of our new buildings by 58 per 
cent, and our corporate and customer emissions 
intensity by 81 per cent, both by 2034 against an 
updated 2023 base line, established after having 
made considerable reductions against our 
original 2020 baseline. We also have 2050 
net-zero targets in these two categories, which 
make up over 85 per cent of our total Scope 1, 2 
and 3 GHG emissions. The reduction of 
embodied carbon in our developments can be 
influenced via engagement with our suppliers 
but we have limited control over emissions from 
customer activity in our assets. We seek to 
influence customer emissions through increasing 
our visibility of customer energy use, the 
adoption of ‘green’ lease clauses in new lettings, 
as well as the installation of on-site solar energy 
generation capacity.
There have been no material changes to the 
nature of the business over the past 12 months 
which would require a review to our baseline 
metrics or future targets.
We believe this disclosure is consistent with 
the recommendations and recommended 
disclosures of the Task Force on Climate related 
Financial Disclosures (TCFD), including the 
‘Guidance for All Sectors’ and the specific guidance 
applicable to the ‘Materials and Buildings’ industry 
to the extent to which it is applicable to SEGRO’s 
operations. It sets out how SEGRO incorporates 
climate-related risks and opportunities into 
governance, strategy, risk management, metrics 
and targets, and how we are responding to 
stakeholder expectations, national regulations 
and sector-wide best practice.
This is an area of constant evolution and we 
intend to continue improving the disclosure 
of our activity and performance. The material 
information and disclosure on climate impact 
is provided in this Annual Report but additional 
complementary information can be found in 
the 2024 Responsible SEGRO Report.
Governance
Governance plays a key contributing role to 
the effective delivery of strategy and SEGRO 
has a clear governance structure with a single 
Board comprising an independent Chair, six 
independent Non-Executive Directors and two 
Executive Directors. 
Board oversight of climate-related risks 
and opportunities
The Board is responsible for setting the strategic 
direction of the Company to ensure its long-term 
success which includes the delivery and 
integration of its strategic priorities, including 
Responsible SEGRO, and their associated targets. 
Specifically, the Board has oversight of climate-
related performance, risks and opportunities 
and takes into consideration all elements of 
Responsible SEGRO, including climate-related 
risks and opportunities, when reviewing and 
guiding on annual budget and long-term 
planning matters as well as major strategic 
and investment decisions.

	– We completed a project with external 
consultants to update and refine our Net-Zero 
Transition Plan, taking improved emission 
forecasting capabilities to inform a more 
accurate strategy and timeline for achieving 
net-zero. We also continue to work with external 
consultants to ensure that we comply with the 
requirements of the Corporate Sustainability 
Reporting Directive and EU Taxonomy 
comfortably before we become eligible to 
report them.
Identification of climate-related risks and 
opportunities over the short, medium and long 
term and their impact on SEGRO’s business, 
strategy and financial planning
Materiality analysis of physical risk
In 2024, working with Savills Sustainability in 
conjunction with Munich Re, JBA and open-
source data providers, SEGRO undertook a 
physical climate risk portfolio screening to assess 
the acute and chronic physical risks to our 
portfolio. Building on the first assessment carried 
out in 2022 and taking into consideration the 
latest climate data and analytical approaches, 
the analysis identified where there were 
significant exposures to physical climate risks at 
country, portfolio and estate level across a range 
of climate scenarios, both Representative 
Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and Shared 
Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), and over four 
time horizons out to 2100. The full report from 
Savills is available at www.SEGRO.com/
Responsible-SEGRO/reports-downloads and 
more detail can be found in the 2024 Responsible 
SEGRO Report. 
For this study, the physical risk from hazards 
under RCP 4.5/SSP 2-4.5 (3ºC warming by 2100, 
the intermediate scenario) and RCP 8.5/SSP 5-8.5 
(4–5ºC warming by 2100, the high emission 
scenario) were modelled on 189 estates, covering 
over 99 per cent of our owned or managed floor 
area (at 100 per cent) and estimated rental value 
(ERV, based on SEGRO wholly-owned properties 
and its share of properties in joint ventures and 
associates). The outcome of this analysis for the 
2050 time horizon is presented in the table on 
page 66.
In summary, the risks to the business from 
exposure to climate change-related hazards are 
not considered to have materially changed. 
Drought Stress, involving an extended period of 
water-deficit, presents as the most significant 
emerging chronic climate-related hazard across 
both RCP/SSP scenarios, with assets exposed 
to this hazard in the intermediate scenario 
representing 14 per cent of rental value (28 per cent 
in the high emissions scenario), focussed on our 
portfolio in Southern Europe, specifically in Italy, 
Spain and southern France. The main risks 
to buildings associated with lack of water are 
typically connected to fire-weather and heat 
stress, where high temperatures are experienced 
for an extended period, for which the portfolio’s 
exposure to hazards is relatively lower at 1 per cent 
and 5 per cent respectively. Beyond these risks 
our portfolio has relatively limited vulnerability to 
drought stress, as our buildings are not inherently 
significant users of water with systemic water use 
restricted to plumbing and fire protection systems, 
maintained in line with local regulations. River 
Flood is the other area of potential vulnerability 
where there is an increase in risk exposure 
compared to baseline, but assets exposed to this 
hazard represent only 5 per cent of rental value 
in the intermediate scenario. 7 per cent of the 
portfolio, by rental value, is exposed to cold stress 
in the intermediate scenario, but this is lower than 
the current exposure meaning that the level of 
risk is expected to diminish over time. 
The Board has access to advice relating to 
climate-related risks and opportunities from 
internal and external bodies including the 
in-house Sustainability Team, CBRE which values 
the portfolio, EcoAct Ltd as environmental 
consultants and SLR Consulting as providers of 
partial assurance of Group environmental data, 
among others.
The Chief Executive has overall responsibility 
for the Responsible SEGRO strategic priorities. 
The Group Customer and Operations Director 
is responsible for climate-related risks and 
opportunities as they may relate to the portfolio.
The table on page 64 outlines the ways in which 
Board and Management Committees provide 
oversight for SEGRO’s climate change-related 
strategy and targets. 
 
Governance: action during 2024
	– The Executive Committee has approved a new 
set of GHG reduction targets;
	– The Board received updates on progress 
against our Responsible SEGRO commitments, 
including reducing carbon emissions;
	– 	The Audit Committee received training from 
the Commercial Finance Director, Head of 
Sustainable Finance and Director of 
Sustainability on upcoming sustainability 
reporting requirements from the European 
Commission and the progress SEGRO is 
making to introduce and integrate them 
throughout the business; and
	– The Remuneration Committee approved the 
targets relating to the Responsible SEGRO 
annual bonus metrics for Executive Directors 
and all employees, including ones incentivising 
actions to reduce carbon emissions throughout 
the business.
Strategy
As a long-term property owner, we need to 
ensure that our buildings are fit for purpose for 
the future. One of the ways we do this is to build 
adaptable buildings, suited to more than one 
customer. This ensures a longer lifespan for the 
building as well as reducing the risk of vacancy 
and future refurbishment costs.
The Responsible SEGRO framework sets out 
how we integrate environmental and social 
considerations into our corporate strategy, 
including ‘Championing low-carbon growth’ 
which sets out our approach to reducing carbon 
emissions from our business activities. This 
commitment includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions 
and the material Scope 3 emissions which are 
Capital Goods (embodied carbon from 
completed developments) and Downstream 
Leased Assets (largely corporate emissions 
and those from customers occupying our 
buildings). See the Responsible SEGRO Report 
at www.Segro.com for a full breakdown of our 
Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Strategy: action during 2024
SEGRO completed a number of projects to 
mitigate climate-related transition risks:
	– We updated our analysis of climate change 
physical risk, last carried out in 2022;
	– We launched a new Energy Strategy for 
the business;
	– We continued to invest in our existing portfolio, 
refurbishing older assets to improve their 
energy efficiency and carbon footprint and 
retrofitting solar PV arrays to standing assets to 
increase our on-site clean energy generating 
capacity; and

Materiality analysis of transition risk
We work with our stakeholders (primarily our 
customers, suppliers and investors) and advisers 
(primarily our valuers and environmental 
consultants) to monitor, assess and prioritise 
emerging climate change transition risks. We 
judge materiality with reference to two main risks: 
the environmental and reputational risk of failing 
to meet our carbon emission reduction targets 
and the financial risk of building redundancy or 
being unable legally to lease our buildings.
We believe that there are three main climate 
change transition risks with the potential to 
impact the Group financially:
	– Environmental legislation: legislation 
surrounding the sustainability performance of 
commercial and non-commercial real estate is 
likely to tighten in future as governments pursue 
their commitments under the Paris Agreement. 
We expect this to take the form of regulations 
but also increasingly some form of carbon 
tax (included Carbon Border Adjustment 
Mechanisms introduced by the EU and 
proposed by the UK) to encourage the use of 
lower carbon materials and processes. The 
primary financial risk relates to our ability to rent 
out our buildings if they fall below emerging 
environmental legislation. This drives our 
determination to improve the energy 
performance of our portfolio both in new 
development and through refurbishment, 
measured primarily by increasing the 
floorspace rated B or better by Energy 
Performance Certificates and reducing the 
energy and CO2 intensity of our buildings.
	– Customer behaviours and preferences: our 
customers, particularly our largest, international 
customers, increasingly expect their premises 
to display high levels of energy efficiency. 
Energy efficiency not only reduces the 
operating costs of the building but also helps 
them achieve their own environmental and 
carbon reduction targets. The primary financial 
risk relates to the appeal of our buildings to 
customers if they are below acceptable levels 
of energy efficiency and wider environmental 
sustainability. We are addressing this risk through 
improving the EPC ratings of our portfolio, 
increasing the amount of on-site renewable 
energy generation, and improving the 
sustainability credentials of our developments.
	– Access to capital: investors are increasingly 
discriminating between investment 
opportunities based on sustainability credentials. 
The primary financial risk relates to reduced 
availability and higher cost of capital for 
companies which do not show strong 
performance and/or progress in this area. 
Applying the analysis to strategic planning
In terms of decision making, we consider 
climate-related issues within the following 
time horizons:
	– Short term: up to 12 months, in line with the 
budget setting carried out annually;
	– Medium term: up to 5 years, in line with the 
Medium-Term Planning carried out annually;
	– Long term: up to 10 years, in line with 
capital investment appraisal cash flows. 
We assume a 60-year life span for our newly-
developed properties.
Given the relatively small element of the portfolio 
exposed to the physical risks, and the fact that 
our Southern European portfolio contains some 
of our newest buildings, we believe the overall 
financial risk to be immaterial and longer term. 
However, as part of our active asset management 
and based on the scenario analysis work above, 
we continue monitor and analyse the asset-level 
risks and opportunities and their associated 
financial implications. Our exposure to transition 
risks is addressed by our response to energy 
efficiency regulations across our markets, as well 
our GHG emission reduction targets, both of 
which are embedded in our strategy.

	– Negative impact on asset valuations
All new investments (both acquisitions and 
developments) incorporate flood risk assessments.
Measures taken to mitigate flood risk include rainwater 
recycling and landscaping to minimise run-off, and 
balancing pools to cater for run-off from hard-
standing areas.
Measures incorporated into financial appraisals of 
acquisitions, refurbishments and developments.
Valuers review assets for short-term physical risks as 
part of twice-yearly appraisals.
R3
Policy & legal transition risk
Environmental legislation
Medium-term risks: 
In the UK, the MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency 
Standard) regulations require buildings to achieve a 
certain standard of energy performance for them to be 
leased. At a high level, by 2030, properties will need to 
achieve a minimum Energy Performance Certificate 
rating of ‘B’ before they can be leased.
Similar legislation is emerging across a number of our 
other markets. The aim of our corporate strategy is to 
be compliant with such legislation well in advance of 
the deadlines.
Properties which are unrated or have an EPC below B 
are expected to be upgraded when they become 
vacant (approximately 55 per cent of such buildings 
in the UK are expected to be vacated by 2030).
Capex associated with refurbishment, including 
improving energy efficiency, is factored into short-term 
budgets and the five-year Medium-Term Plan. 
The estimated cost to upgrade the UK estate to EPC 
rating ‘B’ or better is approximately £55 million by 2030, 
much of which will be absorbed within normal course 
of refurbishment capex. The figure has decreased 
primarily due to work carried out during 2023 to 
improve low-grade EPC premises to at least B-grade.
R4
Market transition risk
Customer behaviours
Short- and medium-term risks: 
Customers expect to operate their properties 
efficiently. There is growing evidence of rental discount 
associated with buildings which display poor 
sustainability credentials.
New developments and refurbishments incorporate 
sustainability technologies suited to their use and 
location, including (but not limited to) solar panels 
(for customer use), electric vehicle charging facilities, 
low-carbon heating and initiatives to promote local 
biodiversity and worker wellbeing.
Capex associated with refurbishment, including 
improving energy efficiency, is factored into short-term 
budgets and the five-year Medium-Term Plan.
R5
Reputation transition risk
Access to capital
Short- and medium-term risks: 
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 
imposes mandatory ESG disclosure obligations for 
asset managers and other financial markets 
participants. The SFDR is supported by the EU 
Taxonomy regulation, imposing reporting requirements 
on non-financial companies.
We have established a Green Finance Framework which 
complies with International Capital Market Association 
and the Loan Market Association principles. The 
Framework sets out the investment criteria for deploying 
and allocating the proceeds of green finance instruments, 
including in energy efficient and low-carbon buildings. 
SEGRO will report as required against emerging EU 
non-financial reporting regulations.
When a decision is made to raise capital, consideration 
is given to whether the issue should fall under the 
Green Finance Framework (e.g. a Green Bond).

construction. Energy saving from solar PV is an 
important element in creating net-zero carbon buildings 
on a full life basis.
The costs of solar panels are incorporated in new 
development and refurbishment capex. Revenues and

Risk management
Climate-related risks are identified and assessed 
using our risk management framework set out on 
page 54. Principal risks are defined as those 
which could intolerably exceed our risk appetite, 
considering both inherent and residual impact, 
and cause material harm to the Group.
Engagement with stakeholders
We engage with our stakeholders throughout 
the year on many different topics, although the 
subjects of climate change and the need to 
reduce corporate and customer GHG emissions 
have featured more prominently over the past 
year. More detail on our stakeholder engagement, 
including on climate-related matters, can be 
found on pages 18 to 20.
Identifying and assessing climate-related risks
Although climate change presents opportunities 
as well as risks for SEGRO, Climate Change is 
identified as a Principal Risk within Environmental 
Sustainability and Climate Change on the Risk 
Register. Climate-related risks are also considered 
within other principal risks including Political and 
Regulatory, Development plan execution and 
Major event/Business disruption.
For each risk, our Risk Register tracks:
	– Description of the risk and the potential effects;
	– 	Identifies the Executive Director with overall 
ownership and the Risk Manager responsible 
for monitoring and managing the risk;
	– An annual probability and potential impact, 
to enable prioritisation;
	– Mitigations in place as well as the owner of 
each mitigating action.
At the current time and based on asset-level 
scenario analysis, no material capital expenditure 
has been identified beyond normal course 
development and refurbishment costs 
associated with mitigating assets in high-risk 
locations against climate change-related risks. 
Such risks, and related capital expenditure, are 
considered as part of the annual asset planning 
process associated with the five-year Medium-
Term Plan.
Managing and mitigating climate-related risks
Our process for recognising, monitoring and 
mitigating Principal Risks, including climate-
related risks, is set out on page 57 of the Annual 
Report. The Board has overall responsibility for 
ensuring that risk is effectively and consistently 
managed across the Group. 
The Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness 
of the Group’s risk management process on 
behalf of the Board. In every year, the Audit 
Committee twice reviews the process of how the 
Group Risk Register has been compiled and the 
Board twice reviews the principal and emerging 
risks. The Board also reviews and approves the 
Group’s risk appetite at least once every year. 
In its Responsible SEGRO framework, SEGRO 
has committed itself to achieving science-based 
targets for reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions 
(including corporate and customer emissions) 
to ensure compliance with a less than 1.5ºC 
increase in global temperatures. A key risk 
surrounding these targets is that we cannot be 
certain to achieve them given the lack of visibility 
and control relating to customers’ energy use in 
our buildings and the embodied carbon 
emissions in developments. We believe that we 
have sufficient full or partial visibility to be able to 
provide sufficiently accurate information to be 
consistent with the TCFD’s recommended 
disclosures and we are working hard to improve 
our visibility, and therefore accuracy, in this regard.
The Metrics and Targets section below provides 
details on how we monitor these risks and our 
progress over the past year. 
Risk management: action during 2024
We have an established Mandatory Sustainability 
Policy and internal targets associated with not 
only reducing emissions but also working with 
our customers and supply chain to achieve 
greater visibility of those emissions. These targets 
are integrated within a Responsible SEGRO 
element of the bonus metrics throughout 
the organisation.
	– Materiality: we finalised our Double Materiality 
Assessment (DMA) in line with the requirements 
of new European Commission (EC) reporting 
requirements. This assessment reviews not only 
the impact of SEGRO’s economic activity on 
society and the environment but also the social 
and environmental risks and opportunities on 
SEGRO’s financial position and performance. 
See pages 23 and 24;
	– Sustainability Policy: In 2024, we made 
significant updates to the Mandatory 
Sustainability Policy including the addition 
of requirements and guidance to maximise 
alignment of new and existing buildings with 
the EU Taxonomy and restrictions on new gas 
installations for heating buildings. We will 
continue to keep the Policy under review and 
adjust and tighten it in response to emerging 
regulation and market norms to ensure that it 
is always in line with best-in-class practice;
	– Reporting requirements: The new European 
reporting regulations establish a number of 
very specific requirements for buildings to be 
classed as ’sustainable’. Our development and 
asset management teams continue to engage 
with external consultants to align our policies 
with the new requirements. 
Metrics and targets
To enable our stakeholders to consider and 
compare our reporting, we contribute to a 
number of externally-recognised benchmarks 
and disclose metrics in line with externally-
recognised frameworks including Sustainability 
Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global 
Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the EPRA Best 
Practices Recommendations on Sustainability 
Reporting. We will also report in line with new 
and evolving European Sustainability Reporting 
requirements which encompass disclosures from 
a number of these external frameworks. 
In order to ensure that we also report on those

we refer to our double-materiality assessment

metrics that are material to the business. Below 
are the climate-related metrics and targets which 
we monitor. Those in bold are incorporated into 
the Responsible SEGRO elements of the annual

There are no metrics specifically mapped to Risk 
2 (flood), although Risks 1 and 2 are addressed 
in the Scenario analysis on page 66. We are 
monitoring and addressing the asset-level risks 
and opportunities but there is not yet a 
meaningful, measurable metric for these areas.

Chair’s introduction to governance
Recommended offer for Tritax EuroBox plc
In September, we reached an agreement for a 
recommended all-share offer to acquire the 
entire share capital of Tritax EuroBox plc. 
There was a subsequent competitive cash offer, 
to which we decided not to respond. Instead, in 
accordance with our focus on capital allocation 
and returns, we reached an agreement with the 
purchaser to acquire six high-quality properties 
in Germany and the Netherlands. Not surprisingly 
there were a number of ad hoc meetings as we 
navigated this transaction. Throughout we 
considered the potential impacts on SEGRO’s 
stakeholders, as well as how the transaction fitted 
within our long-term strategy, our near-term plan 
and our goal ‘to be the best property company’. 
You can read more about these activities and 
other key Board decisions taken during the year 
on pages 84 and 85. 
Board changes
As you will read in the Nomination Committee 
Report, we welcomed Marcus Sperber as an 
Independent Non-Executive Director on 1 May 
2024. Marcus brings a wealth of experience, from 
both other Board appointments and the real 
estate industry. He has already proven himself to 
be a valuable addition through his insightful 
contributions to discussions in the boardroom. 
You can read more about the process to appoint 
Marcus and his induction to the Board and the 
Company on page 97.
Please join me in welcoming Marcus to the Board. 
Delivering our strategy
Dear shareholder, 
As Chair of SEGRO, I am pleased to introduce 
our Board’s Governance Report for 2024. 
We have a long-established and robust 
governance framework, which continues to 
promote the long-term sustainable success 
of the Company. 
Key activities of the Board in 2024
2024 has been another active year for the 
Board. We remain focused on delivering our 
well-established strategy in the context of the 
changing macroeconomic environment and 
occupier markets, keeping one eye on the 
horizon to ensure our decisions are mindful 
of the long-term impact on our stakeholders. 
The SEGRO Values and our governance 
framework are mutually reinforcing. 
Equity placing
In March, we approved an equity placing which 
raised £907 million of gross proceeds to pursue 
additional growth opportunities and take 
advantage of potential acquisitions, which may 
arise, whilst maintaining a strong balance sheet. 
Mindful of previous feedback from some of our 
shareholders, we launched a retail offer alongside 
the placing to enable retail shareholders to 
participate in the transaction.

External Board performance review
In accordance with the requirements of the UK 
Corporate Governance Code 2018 (the Code), 
the Board undertakes an external evaluation 
every three years. During the year, with support 
from the Senior Independent Director and the 
Company Secretary, I oversaw this year’s external 
Board performance review which was led by 
Clare Chalmers. I am pleased to report that the 
review concluded that the Board and its 
Committees continue to operate effectively and 
perform well. You can read about the review 
process and the findings in more detail on pages 
89 and 90. 
Stakeholder engagement
The Board continues to be mindful of all our 
stakeholders in our decision making, and 
recognises our responsibility to wider society. 
On pages 84 to 88, you will find our Section 172 
Statement and further information on how the 
Board has engaged with our six stakeholder 
groups throughout the year. 
Each year, we write to our larger shareholders, 
offering them the opportunity to meet privately 
and discuss their thoughts on the Company and 
the wider market with myself, the Senior 
Independent Director and the Chairs of the Audit 
and Remuneration Committees. 
In response, I met with some shareholders in early 
2024 and appreciated the opportunity to gain 
insight into the matters which were important 
to them.
In addition, as Chair of the Remuneration 
Committee, Simon Fraser led an extensive 
consultation as part of the development of our 
updated Directors’ Remuneration Policy, during 
which approximately 60 per cent of the share 
register, key proxy voting agencies and 
employees were invited to share their views. 
You can read more about this engagement in 
his Letter on page 105 and in the Remuneration 
Policy from page 123. 
As always, we will continue to engage with 
shareholders to ensure an ongoing dialogue 
regarding our governance approach, and any 
feedback is shared with the Board as a whole. 
Annual General Meeting (AGM)
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend 
my thanks to those shareholders who joined us 
in April for the 2024 AGM, where our Chief 
Executive delivered a presentation on SEGRO’s 
performance in 2023 and the early part of 2024. 
All shareholders received communications for 
the AGM at least 20 working days in advance of 
the meeting and were invited to ask questions, 
either in the room or by email in advance of the 
meeting. The other Directors and I were also 
available to meet with attendees informally, both 
before and after the meeting, and we look 
forward to doing so again at this year’s AGM 
which will take place on 30 April 2025 at 
RSA House.
The Company proposes separate resolutions on 
each substantially separate issue, with voting 
conducted by a poll. At the 2024 AGM, 85 per 
cent of the issued share capital voted (2023: 80 
per cent) and all the proposed resolutions were 
passed. Following the meeting, the results of 
votes lodged for and against each resolution 
were announced to the London Stock Exchange 
and published on our website. 
In addition to the usual business at the 2025 
AGM, we are seeking shareholder approval for 
the new Remuneration Policy as mentioned 
earlier in my Letter, with the current Policy having 
been approved in 2022 for three years, and an 
amendment to the rules of the Long Term 
Incentive Plan, which will allow us to implement 
the new Policy. Further information on the new 
Policy can be found on pages 123 to 131 and in 
the Notice of Meeting. 
The Board believes that all resolutions proposed, 
including those highlighted above, are in the best 
interests of the Company and we hope we can 
count on shareholder support in passing them. 
 
Martin Moore
Some of you may have heard the sad news about 
the death of Martin Moore at the end of last year. 
Martin stepped down from the Board at the end 
of 2023 after serving nine years. He was an 
excellent Board member who made a great 
contribution during his tenure and will be sorely 
missed by all of us at SEGRO and the wider 
industry. We send our deepest condolences 
to Martin’s family.
Thank you
Most importantly, I would like to extend my thanks 
to all our employees for their hard work and 
dedication to the Company during the year, as 
well as my fellow Board members for their valued 
insights and contributions.

initiated a wide-ranging strategic review in 2011 involving

pan-European urban and big box logistics portfolio. 
Outside SEGRO, his position as a Non-Executive Director 
at a global business-to-business distribution company

generating value for shareholders and 
contributing to wider society.
It sets the Company’s strategic aims and ensures 
that it operates within a framework of prudent 
and effective controls which enable risks to be 
assessed and managed. It makes certain that the 
necessary financial and human resources are in 
place for the Company to meet its objectives. 
Further, the Board ensures that there is effective 
engagement with shareholders and other key 
stakeholders in order for the Directors to satisfy 
their obligations under section 172(1) of the 
Companies Act 2006, as detailed on page 84. 
The work of the Board complements, enhances 
and supports the work of the Executive 
Committee, in particular in respect of the 
Company’s culture, and its Purpose and Values. 
Effective and efficient functioning of the Board
During 2024, there were seven scheduled and 
four ad hoc Board meetings. 
Each Director has committed to attend all 
scheduled Board and Committee meetings, 
and would not do so only in exceptional 
circumstances. This is kept under review to 
ensure that Directors are fulfilling their 
commitments to the Company. Similarly, every 
effort is made by Directors to attend ad hoc 
meetings. On the rare occasion that a Director 
cannot attend a meeting they are still provided 
with the papers in advance of the meeting and 
are given an opportunity to discuss them with the 
Chair or Chief Executive. 
The Board has the flexibility to meet in person, by 
telephone or by video conference as the need 
arises or on an ad hoc basis.

Further Information

The Board recognises the value in taking the time 
to step away from the day-to-day agenda to focus 
on the bigger picture, and each year hosts a 
dedicated Strategy Event where they reflect on 
the key strategic themes and long-term focus for 
the business. In November 2024, along with the 
Executive Committee and the Company 
Secretary, they spent two days doing just that. 
In preparation for the session, a full suite of 
papers covering a wide range of topics were 
shared with the Board to ensure the Directors 
were well-informed and to set the context for 
discussion. Several guest speakers, both internal 
experts and external advisers, were invited to 
share insights on their areas of expertise which 
further informed the conversation. 
The Board was joined by:
	– an economist from UBS, one of the Company’s 
brokers, who shared his perspective and set the 
scene on the macro outlook;
	– the Co-Head of Global Property Equities and 
Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson, a major 
investor of REITs globally and a top 10 
shareholder in SEGRO, who provided his 
perspective on the equity capital markets and 
SEGRO, and shared how his fund makes its 
investment decisions; and
	– the Head of EMEA Logistics & Industrial and 
Retail Research and Head of Logistics & 
Industrial EMEA from Cushman and Wakefield, 
who provided their views on the industrial 
property market. 
These presentations laid a valuable foundation 
for the discussions that followed. 
The Strategic Insights Director presented an 
analysis on the key structural drivers for the 
business, following which the Managing Directors 
for the UK and Continental Europe, Managing 
Director, Group Investment and Commercial 
Finance Director provided a high-level overview 
of the annual portfolio review and outputs 
from the medium-term asset and financial 
planning processes. 
At the end of the first day, and continuing the 
programme of stakeholder engagement, three 
customers from different sectors (Royal Mail, 
Amazon and Digital Realty) joined the Board for 
dinner where the Directors heard first-hand about 
the challenges and opportunities facing their 
businesses in the current market and about the 
customers’ future plans and how the Company 
could partner with them further. 
On the second day, the Group HR Director led a 
conversation on people planning and the strategy 
for retaining, attracting and developing the best 
talent whilst continuing the commitment to drive 
diversity within the business, and the Chief of 
Staff updated the Board on the SELP joint venture 
and Data Centres.
Finally, the Strategy Event concluded with a free 
form discussion where the Board reflected on the 
key takeaways from the sessions and how these 
could support our long-term ambition ‘to be the 
best property company’ whilst navigating the 
near-term challenges. 
At the conclusion of the Strategy Event, the Board 
confirmed it remained comfortable that the 
strategic direction of the business continued to 
be appropriate and agreed it was supportive of 
the priorities identified by the Executive team for 
the coming year.

Purpose, 
Values and 
Culture
How the Board lives our Purpose and Values 
We are proud of our Purpose – to create the 
space that enables extraordinary things to 
happen – and our five Values which support our 
culture and align with our strategy. They are well 
embedded in the business and form the basis 
of our workforce policies. They help to unify 
employees and describe the core beliefs about 
how SEGRO does business, acting as a universal 
language across our business and the countries 
in which we operate.
It is essential that the Directors lead by example 
and embody the Values. Executive Directors, 
being more visible leaders around the business, 
help to set the tone.
Consistent feedback from the recent Board 
performance reviews demonstrate that all 
Directors feel they can contribute, speak freely 
and are not constrained in the boardroom. 
The Chair encourages open debate and no 
one individual dominates the discussion. The 
seasoned relationships between the Board 
members mean that they are comfortable to 
say it like it is, whilst their diverse backgrounds 
and well-balanced experience bring varying 
perspectives to Board discussions, and the 
regular refreshing of appointments ensures 
a fresh perspective and challenge. Together, 
this fosters a supportive environment which 
promotes true diversity of thought and 
constructive challenge. 
How the Board manages and monitors 
our culture 
The Board believes that our culture can be 
defined by:
	– a strong desire to create a successful business 
we can be proud of; 
	– trust and strong professional integrity – we deliver 
on promises; 
	– pragmatism – a ‘sleeves up’ approach 
regardless of status; 
	– thoughtful, detailed and measured decision 
making; 
	– respect and transparency; and
	– caring about people and taking an interest in 
their wellbeing. 
The Board continues to monitor the culture of the 
Company through indicators which serve as a 
temperature check. They consider:
	– the results of the annual employee 
engagement survey ‘Your Say’;
	– feedback from the workforce engagement 
sessions led by the Non-Executive Directors;
	– internal audit reports;
	– data on employee turnover;
	– feedback from office and site visits by Executive 
Directors and the Board as a whole;
	– any whistleblowing incidents;
	– any health and safety incidents;
	– any breaches of the Code of Business Conduct 
and Ethics; and
	– the results of the annual Customer Satisfaction 
surveys.
Outcome
The Board considers that, on the whole, there is a 
strong culture at SEGRO of which our employees 
are proud. During the most recent Your Say 
survey, 95 per cent of employees said that they 
understood SEGRO’s Purpose, Values and 
behaviours and 87 per cent said they felt proud 
to work at SEGRO. 
We have a unifying set of Values that drive our culture.  
When the Directors are together, they live the Values as follows: 
Say it like it is
The Directors are honest and transparent in dealings with each 
other and those who interact with them both inside and outside 
of the boardroom. The Chair encourages constructive debate 
and challenge during meetings.
Stand side by side
The Non-Executive Directors bring to the Board their wide-
ranging and extensive knowledge and experience from other 
businesses. The Directors are supportive and take collective 
responsibility for decisions.
Keep one eye  
on the horizon
The Directors look to the long term in their decision making. 
They want to understand future trends and how the Company 
can use them for the benefit of all of our stakeholders in the short, 
medium and longer term.
If the door is closed…
The Non-Executive Directors support the Executive Directors 
to find solutions to more complex issues and provide assistance 
where difficult judgement calls and decisions need to be made.
Does it make the  
boat go faster?
The Directors look at different ways of working to create 
effective relationships and discuss regularly where they can 
best add value.

Promoting long-term sustainable success
SEGRO’s principal duty is to deliver lasting, 
sustainable success and generate value for 
shareholders and other investors, whilst being 
mindful of our impact on stakeholders and wider 
society. The Board facilitates this through robust 
governance processes and by ensuring that 
effective risk management is in place, against 
which key decisions are made on behalf of 
the Company. 
SEGRO performed well during 2024. The 
long-term structural drivers at play in the industrial 
and logistics sector and its prime portfolio of 
modern, sustainable warehouses in the most 
supply-constrained markets, helped to support 
occupier demand despite the macroeconomic 
environment. The Group contracted £91 million 
of new headline rent, through capturing reversion 
and growing rents on the existing portfolio and 
also completed 374,700 sq m of new space, 
capable of delivering £37 million of new headline 
rent. This activity resulted in further growth in 
earnings and resulted in the Board recommending 
an increase in dividend for our shareholders. 
 
The Board was also pleased to hear about the 
progress that has been made against the 
Responsible SEGRO targets during the year, 
as detailed further on pages 21 to 28. 
 
Looking ahead, the combination of new rental 
income from the development programme, and 
the benefits of active asset management of our 
existing portfolio, a key strategic area for the 
business, should enable us to drive sustainable 
growth in both earnings and dividends. The Chief 
Executive’s statement on pages 11 to 15, along 
with the Financial review on pages 44 to 49, set 
out in much more detail our strategy and the 
reasons why we are confident in the long-term 
prospects for our business.
Investing for the long term
Since the Company’s principal duty is to deliver 
long-term success, much of the Board’s decision 
making is focused around ensuring that the 
Company is sustainable in the long term. 
	– Each year, the Board considers our Medium 
Term Plan, which assesses the opportunities 
and risks for the Company over the following 
five years, and forms the basis of our 
Viability Statement.
	– At the annual Strategy Event, the Board takes 
time to consider the long-term strategy of the 
business, incorporating presentations and 
discussions on longer‑term opportunities and 
threats to the business.
	– Throughout the year, the Board has overall 
responsibility for the Company’s approach to 
risk and ensures that risk is effectively and 
consistently managed. It reviews the measures 
in place to mitigate the near- and longer-term 
risks (including emerging risks) to the business. 
Real estate is inherently a long-term industry and 
the Board therefore takes this into consideration 
in all its decision making. In the Chief Executive’s 
statement on page 11, you can read more about 
how we have adapted our long-held strategy to 
respond to the current environment.
Identifying and managing conflicts of interest
The Board operates a policy to identify and, when 
appropriate, manage actual or potential conflicts 
of interest affecting Directors. Prior to taking on 
any additional external commitments, Directors 
are required to submit any actual or potential 
conflicts of interest they may have with the 
Company to the Chair or Senior Independent 
Director for approval. Any conflicts of interest are 
recorded and approved by the Board at each 
meeting. Directors have a duty to keep the Board 
updated about any changes to these conflicts.
Effective controls and necessary resources
The Board has a responsibility to ensure that 
appropriate controls and resources are in place to 
enable the Company to achieve its long-term goals. 
As detailed on page 79 there is a Schedule of 
Matters Reserved for Decision by the Board, 
which is available to view at www.SEGRO.com.
You can read about the Company’s approach 
to risk and risk management on pages 50 to 53, 
whilst page 104 contains further details about the 
Audit Committee’s role in ensuring that robust 
processes have been put in place to ensure risks 
are identified, evaluated and managed. The Board 
regularly discusses the Company’s principal risks, 
along with new and emerging risks, and considers 
how they may impact on our long-term goals.
The Board is ever mindful of the need to balance 
the pursuit of opportunities without taking 
unacceptable or excessive risk and ensures that 
the Company has the appropriate resources, 
in terms of time, people and funding to do so.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board takes an active interest in ensuring that 
appropriate policies and practices are in place, 
consistent with the Company’s Purpose and 
Values. One such policy is our Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics (Code of Ethics) which is 
core to the way in which our business is run, 
the work we do, and to our reputation.
The Code of Ethics sets out the high ethical 
standards expected of all our people in their 
daily work to enable us to act with honesty and 
integrity. The Code of Ethics covers various 
policies on a wide range of activities and any 
breaches are thoroughly investigated with 
appropriate action taken. The Board receives 
regular reports on compliance with the Code 
of Ethics and the Company’s policy on 
whistleblowing, which sets out the procedure by 
which employees and any third parties can use a 
confidential external service to raise concerns. 
During the year, the Company received a 
whistleblowing allegation through Safecall, its 
independent whistleblowing service, which, 
following a thorough investigation, was found to 
be unsubstantiated, and was therefore closed. 
The Code of Ethics also sets out our approach 
to the human rights of all our stakeholders. Our 
due diligence to combat slavery and human 
trafficking is set out in our Modern Slavery 
Statement which is approved by the Board each 
year and is on our website at www.SEGRO.com. 
See page 132. 
Our Supplier Code of Conduct ensures that all 
suppliers adhere to high ethical standards and 
reinforces SEGRO’s commitment to operating our 
business in an ethical and honest way. 
The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring 
that appropriate safeguards are in place for the 
detection of fraud and prevention of bribery, 
including overseeing and monitoring the Group’s 
anti-bribery and corruption policies and 
procedures. See page 104.

Division of responsibilities
The division of responsibilities of the Chair, Chief 
Executive and Senior Independent Director are 
clearly established in writing and approved by 
the Board.
Chair
The Chair is responsible for the leadership of the 
Board and its overall effectiveness in directing the 
Company and promoting an open environment 
for challenge and debate. He encourages 
participation by all the Directors, facilitates 
constructive relations and creates the right 
atmosphere to promote a culture of open 
discussion and effective decision making. 
Along with the other Non-Executive Directors, 
he is responsible for holding the Executives to 
account against agreed objectives. 
Chief Executive
The Chief Executive recommends the Group’s 
strategy to the Board and is responsible for its 
implementation and for the Group’s overall 
performance. He ensures that the interests of 
the Group’s stakeholders are taken into account 
with regards to the long-term impact of the 
Board’s decisions. 
Senior Independent Director
The Senior Independent Director acts as a 
sounding board for the Chair and serves as an 
intermediary for Directors and shareholders 
should communication through the normal 
channels fail. She leads the appraisal of the 
Chair’s performance each year and would, 
as required, chair the Nomination Committee 
when it considers his succession. 
Availability of the Chair, Chief Executive and 
the Company Secretary
The Chair, the Chief Executive and the Company 
Secretary are always available for the Directors to 
discuss any issues concerning Board meetings  
or other matters. All Directors have access to the 
advice and services of the Company Secretary, 
who is responsible for ensuring compliance with 
Board procedures. Directors also have the right  
to seek independent professional advice at the 
Company’s reasonable expense should they  
so wish.
Our Governance Framework
The Board is responsible for creating and delivering shareholder value by setting the strategic direction of the Group.  
The Board delegates a number of its responsibilities to its three sub-Committees. The Committee Chairs provide regular updates on the activities  
of each Committee at Board meetings.
The Board
The Executive Committee supports the Chief Executive with the development and implementation of Group strategy, the management of the business and the 
discharge of responsibilities delegated by the Board. It typically meets formally each month and informally most weeks, and during the year there are dedicated 
sessions to discuss strategic priorities as well as ad hoc sessions to keep up to date with more day-to-day operational issues. 
 
The Executive Committee delegates some of its responsibilities to a number of management committees, membership of each includes  
at least one member of the Executive Committee. 
Executive Committee
The Leadership team comprises the members of the Executive Committee and their senior direct reports, each of whom has  
responsibility for the Group’s operations in a particular geography or for one or more of the Group’s main functional areas. 
 
It serves as a discussion forum and sounding board with which the Executive Directors can share knowledge and ideas,  
gain a better understanding of the local market outlook and share cross-functional and cross-border information.
Leadership team
Audit Committee
Monitors the integrity of the Group’s Financial 
Statements, reviews the relationship with the 
external auditor and the role and effectiveness 
of the internal audit function. Oversees the 
risk management process and internal 
control environment.
Nomination Committee
Ensures that the Board and its Committees have 
the appropriate skills, knowledge, diversity and 
experience to operate effectively and to oversee 
the delivery of the strategy.
Remuneration Committee
Determines the reward strategy for the 
Executive Directors to align their interests with 
those of shareholders and employees. 
Joint Operating Group
Assists the Group 
Customer and Operations 
Director to manage the 
operations of the Group 
and to discharge the 
responsibilities delegated 
to him by the Chief 
Executive.
Group Risk Committee
Establishes, monitors and 
reports to the Executive 
Committee and ultimately 
the Board and Audit 
Committee on the Group’s 
approach to risk 
management.
Investment Committee

Group, manages the 
allocation of capital and 
oversees all major 
investment and 
divestment decisions on 
behalf of the Executive 
Committee.

transformation and 
technology strategy, and 
ensures that activity within 
this domain is aligned with 
this strategy.

How the Board considers s172 matters
The Directors engage directly with as many stakeholders as they 
can but given the number spread across multiple geographies, 
stakeholder engagement often takes place at the operational level, 
see pages 18 to 20. 
In this section we explain how the Board has engaged with our 
stakeholders and how that engagement has influenced their 
decision making.
When making decisions which impact our key stakeholders the 
Board considers the factors set out in s172, including:
the likely consequences of any 
decision in the long term;
Pages 2; 4; 15 to 
17; and 82
the interest of the Company’s 
employees;
Pages 18; 28; 88; 
and 116 and 117
the need to foster the 
Company’s business 
relationships with suppliers, 
Pages 19; 27; 41; 
87; and 132
the impact of the Company’s 
operations on the community 
and the environment;
Pages 21 to 29; 
63 to 71; 86; 
and 88
the desirability of the Company 
maintaining a reputation of high 
standards of business conduct; 
and
Pages 50 to 53; 
81; 82; and 99
the need to act fairly as 
between members of 
the Company.
Pages 16 and 17; 
20; 40 to 49; 84 
and 87
Equity placing and retail offer
The Board approved the launch of an equity placing with the aim 
of raising approximately £800 million gross proceeds through the 
issue of new shares in the Company, in order to pursue additional 
growth opportunities, including new and existing development 
projects and to take advantage of potential acquisition 
opportunities, whilst maintaining a strong balance sheet. 
The placing was accompanied by a separate retail offer which 
enabled UK-based retail shareholders to participate in the equity 
raise and acquire additional shares in SEGRO at the placing price. 
In light of the strong demand from both existing and new investors 
following the launch, the Board Committee then took the decision 
to increase the size of the planned equity raise and, in aggregate, 
the equity placing and retail offer successfully raised gross 
proceeds of £907 million and comprised the issue of 110,585,366 
new shares at 820 pence per share. 
Prior to the placing a number of larger shareholders were 
consulted and the principles of pre-emption were respected 
throughout the allocation process. 
In considering the options available to raise additional capital 
the Board considered many factors including external market 
conditions and the risk of them impacting the share price. 
It was also mindful of previous feedback from a small number of 
shareholders who were disappointed in being unable to participate 
in previous similar placings. The Board believes that this approach 
was in the best interests of all our shareholders.

Section 172(1) Statement
The Board confirms that during the year ended 31 December 
2024 it has acted in the way it considers, in good faith, would be 
most likely to promote the long-term success of the Company 
for the benefit of its members as a whole whilst having due 
regard to the matters set out in section 172(1) (a) to (f) of the 
Companies Act 2006 (s172).
Each of the Directors are mindful of their duties under s172 to 
run the Company for the benefit of its shareholders, and in 
doing so, to take into account the long-term impact of any 
decisions on stakeholder relationships and the impact of the 
Company’s activities on the environment, whilst maintaining its 
reputation for high standards of business conduct at all times. 
The Company cannot operate in a vacuum. We can only 
succeed if we conduct ourselves in a responsible manner 
and have positive relationships with all of our stakeholders.

Recommended offer for Tritax EuroBox plc
In September 2024 the Company announced that it had reached 
an agreement with the Board of Tritax EuroBox plc (Tritax EuroBox) 
on the terms of a recommended all-share offer for the entire issued 
share capital of Tritax EuroBox. The Board considered this to be a 
compelling offer for the shareholders in both companies, delivering 
an uplift in value for Tritax EuroBox shareholders and adding a 
portfolio of well-diversified and high-quality logistics assets to 
SEGRO’s portfolio on attractive terms. 
The following month, Titanium Ruth Bidco Limited (Brookfield) made 
a competing cash offer which was accepted and recommended 
by the Tritax EuroBox board in place of the SEGRO offer. 
With the support of key advisers, the Board considered carefully 
our position and the options available to us and, aligned with our 
commitment to be disciplined in our approach to capital allocation, 
agreed not to increase or improve the original offer. 
Instead, we were able to reach an agreement with Brookfield in 
January 2025 to acquire, through the SELP joint venture, a portfolio 
of six Tritax EuroBox logistics assets located in Germany and the 
Netherlands, which would complement our existing strong 
presence in both markets and match our investment criteria in 
terms of returns, location and quality. The transaction is conditional 
on European Union anti-trust clearance, which is expected in the 
first quarter of 2025.
Throughout the process the Board has acted in what it considers 
to be the best interests of SEGRO’s shareholders and in reaching 
an alternative agreement with Brookfield to acquire the assets has 
lived our value of ‘If the door is closed …’.

on current and forthcoming legislation, regulation 
and reporting requirements ensure the Board stays 
well-informed and the Company continues to 
comply with requirements with regards to ESG.
How does the Board engage? 
The Board feels strongly that, in order to be authentic, 
meaningful and received positively by our employees, 
its approach to engaging with the wider workforce 
should mirror the Company’s Value to ‘say it like it is’.
As the Group has a non-unionised business with 
a headcount of 466 employees based in multiple 
countries, an alternative arrangement (as permitted by 
Provision 5 of the Code) remains the most appropriate 
option. This involves a three-stage approach which, 
whilst now well-embedded, remains under review to 
ensure it continues to be effective and encompasses 
the spirit of enabling the voice of the employee to be 
heard in the boardroom.
 
1. Individual meetings with the Non-Executive Directors
Each year, our Non-Executive Directors hold a series of 
informal meetings with employees from across the 
business to hear first-hand how they feel about working 
at SEGRO. The Board appreciates the value of hearing 
a variety of views directly from a broad cross-section 
of employees in different roles, grades and offices to 
gain a deeper understanding of the issues that are 
important to them without members of the Leadership 
team present.
 
In 2024, pairs of Non-Executive Directors led three 
sessions: one thematic session which focused on 
Executive Remuneration (which is detailed further on 
page 117), and two sessions on more general topics 
during their visits to Milan and Coventry. We felt that this 
was a good balance between focused conversations 
on topics the Board wanted to hear more from 
employees on as well as offering the flexibility for 
employees to share their views on areas of importance 
for them.
Discussion areas included Responsible SEGRO, our 
ambition to ‘be the best property company’ and what 
this means for employees, Nurturing talent and future 
priorities for the business and individual teams. On the 
whole, the Directors found that employees welcomed 
the opportunity to participate and were forthcoming in 
sharing their thoughts. 
Non-attributable feedback from each session was 
relayed at the following Board meeting for discussion.
2. Presentations at Board and Committee meetings
The Board regularly invites representatives from around 
the business to present at Board and Committee 
meetings and in 2024 welcomed a number of guest 
speakers as detailed on page 79.
 
Each of the Committee Chairs also met with employees 
in relation to the business of their Committees.
 
3. Informal meetings
During the year, the Board travelled to Milan, Italy and 
Coventry, UK where they toured local assets with the 
Co-Heads of Italy, Head of National Markets and their 
teams. During their visits they also took the opportunity 
to hold informal lunches at the offices, where they 
enjoyed speaking with colleagues, and dinners with 
the local management teams.
Other Board engagement in 2024
	– Two of our Non-Executive Directors, Carol 
Fairweather and Sue Clayton, joined representatives 
from the Executive Committee and Leadership team 
for a panel discussion on inclusion for International 
Women’s Day.
	– Members of the Executive Committee and their 
teams joined the Directors ahead of the December 
Board meeting for interactive sessions focusing on 
the Company’s strategic priorities, where the 
Directors heard about the achievements and key 
learnings in each area during the year and noted 
the objectives for 2025.
Impact/Outcome of engagement
	– We take meaningful action to address the areas of 
importance raised by our people during the 
workforce engagement sessions and their feedback 
is an important consideration in our people strategy 
and planning.
	– Feedback from previous workforce engagement 
sessions helped to shape our enhanced family-
friendly policies that were launched during the year, 
demonstrating our commitment to supporting 
employees during key moments in their lives. 
	– Board discussions benefit from the wealth of 
specialist knowledge which is regularly shared by 
employees on their areas of focus.
	– Meeting with a diverse group of employees at all 
levels, and not just senior leaders, enables the Board 
to experience the SEGRO culture first-hand and see 
how our employees uphold the Purpose and Values.

 External Board  
 performance  
 review 
This Annual Report is being prepared under the 2018 
Code, however we have updated references from ‘Board 
evaluation’ to ‘Board performance review’ to align with 
the provisions in the 2024 Code, which will largely apply 
for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2025.
In line with the requirements of the Code, the Board undertakes an 
externally facilitated performance review every three years. In the 
intervening two years, internal reviews of the Board, its Committees 
and the performance of individual Directors are carried out. The 
last external Board performance review took place in 2021 and 
therefore an externally facilitated review was undertaken in 2024. 
The external performance review process was overseen by the 
Chair, supported by the Senior Independent Director (SID) and the 
Company Secretary. 
Following a tender process, Clare Chalmers was appointed as 
external facilitator. Clare Chalmers does not have any other 
connection with the Company or individual Directors and,  
together with a number of notable independent Board evaluators,
established The International Register of Board Reviewers (TIRBR), 
which is aligned to the four guiding principles for board reviewers 
and three guiding principles for clients, which can be viewed at 
www.tirbr.com.
Agreed areas of focus for the 2024 review
	– The size and composition of the Board and its Committees and the 
balance of the skills, experience, independence and diversity, and 
any enhancements that may be beneficial over the next few years;
	– Board succession planning, including the appointments process, 
induction and training, and oversight of talent management for 
the wider business;
	– the main strategic considerations and challenges, how the Board 
inputs to the development of strategy, and the effectiveness of 
Board Strategy Events or other strategic sessions held 
throughout the year;
	– Board dynamics, including the tone of meetings, how the Board 
supports and challenges executive management and 
participation and interaction between Non-Executive Directors 
and senior management in and between Board meetings; 
	– the Chair’s leadership and the performance of individual 
Directors including the roles of Senior Independent Director and 
Committee Chairs;
	– stakeholder engagement and the consideration of stakeholder 
interests as part of Board discussion and decision making; and
	– Board meetings and papers, including the support from the 
Secretariat function.

Conclusions from the 2024 review
The overall picture from the review was positive and concluded 
that the Board and its Committees continued to operate effectively 
and perform well. The key findings highlighted, in particular, that:
	– SEGRO benefits from a strong and well-balanced Board, bringing 
together experienced Non-Executive Directors with a range of 
skills and backgrounds;
	– the Board is constructive and engaged, with good challenge, 
debate and accountability, and is well supported by the wider 
management team; and
	– the Board and Committees are well supported by the Company 
Secretary and meetings are effectively run.
Clare Chalmers has reviewed the disclosures relating to the review 
set out within the Annual Report and has agreed that they reflect 
accurately both the process followed and the findings. In 
accordance with the Code, the next externally facilitated Board 
performance review will be scheduled for 2027 and internal 
reviews will be conducted in 2025 and 2026.
Actions identified from the 2024 review
Key recommendations and actions for 2025
Strategy
	– continuing to receive regular updates at Board meetings on strategy and the key strategic priorities, ensuring 
sufficient time for debate, including updates on the longer-term trends that could impact the key structural 
drivers of the business;
Stakeholder engagement
	– continuing the cadence of breakfasts and dinners with external speakers, including customers and suppliers, 
and allocating time on Board agendas to discuss any outputs from these interactions;
Succession planning and talent 
management
	– keeping succession planning under review throughout the year, ensuring sufficient time at Nomination 
Committee meetings to discuss and consider Board, executive and senior management succession planning, 
talent management and future capability requirements; and

Dear shareholder,
I am pleased to present the Nomination 
Committee (the Committee) Report for 2024, 
in which we set out how the Committee has 
discharged its responsibilities during the year.
The Committee comprises five of the 
Independent Non-Executive Directors and is 
chaired by myself as the Chair of the Board. 
In this Report we will demonstrate how the 
Committee has fulfilled its role of overseeing the 
composition of the Board and its Committees, 
and monitoring the balance of skills, experience, 
independence and knowledge as well as the 
diversity of its members in its broadest sense.

begin a search to replace the skills and experience 
which were lost with Martin’s retirement. After a 
robust search process, which is detailed further 
on page 97, the Committee recommended the 
appointment of Marcus Sperber. 
Marcus was appointed as an Independent 
Non-Executive Director on 1 May 2024 and will 
be subject to election by shareholders at the 
upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). 
He brings an extensive knowledge of the real 
estate and investment management industry, 
complementing the skillsets of our existing Board 
members and offering a fresh perspective to 
Board discussions. 
Since joining the Board, Marcus has participated 
in a comprehensive induction programme which 
you can read about on page 97.
Retirements
There were no retirements from the Board during 
the year. 
Committee membership
The Committee considered the appointments of 
Independent Non-Executive Directors to each of 
the three Board Committees and concluded that 
they remain appropriate and effective although, 
as ever, this will be kept under review. 
Board succession planning
Succession planning has long been a vital priority 
for the Committee and you can read more about 
our approach on page 94. 
We are mindful of the tenure of some of our 
Non-Executive Directors, namely Sue Clayton 
and Carol Fairweather, who are now each serving 
their final three-year term. We are also cognisant 
of the need to balance the regular refreshment 
of Board membership with the right combination 
of skills, experience, independence and diversity, 
and the balance of the Board as a whole. In the 
coming year the Committee will further consider 
the succession of these two roles. In addition to 
acting as an Independent Non-Executive Director, 
Carol also serves as the Chair of the Audit 
Committee and Senior Independent Director 
and so careful consideration will be given to the 
succession of these roles in particular to ensure 
a smooth transition of responsibilities. 
Re-appointment of Independent 
Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors are appointed by the 
Board for three-year terms. At the conclusion of 
each term, the Committee undertakes a review 
of their performance and contribution before 
making any recommendation to the Board for 
their re-appointment.

Further Information

In May 2024, Simon Fraser and Linda Yueh 
reached three years’ service on the Board and, 
in June 2024, Sue Clayton reached six years’ 
service. Following their confirmation that they 
each wished to continue serving as Independent 
Non-Executive Directors, and in Simon’s case the 
Chair of the Remuneration Committee, their
re-elections were considered by the Committee.
The Committee gave due regard to their 
individual performance and their contributions 
and ability to contribute to the long-term success 
of the Board. We concluded that Simon, Linda 
and Sue all continued to be valuable members of 
the Board and it was agreed that their terms each 
be extended for a further three years, subject to 
the annual re-election by shareholders at the 
2025 AGM.
Neither Simon, Linda nor Sue were present when 
their re-appointments were discussed. 
In the coming year, Mary Barnard will reach the 
end of her second three-year appointment in 
March 2025 and I will reach the end of my first 
three-year appointment in April 2025. The 
Committee considered our re-appointments at 
the December 2024 meeting where, after due 
consideration, it was agreed that each of our 
appointments be extended for a further term. 
Carol Fairweather, in her capacity as Senior 
Independent Director, led the discussion 
regarding my re-appointment and neither 
Mary nor I were present when our respective 
re-appointments were considered. 
Board diversity and inclusion
The Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy, which 
was last updated in December 2023, was 
considered at the December 2024 meeting and 
the Committee determined that it remained 
appropriate, effective and in line with best practice. 
We further considered how the objectives set out 
in the Policy had been achieved during the year, 
as detailed on page 95. 
Committee effectiveness
As part of the external Board performance review 
undertaken during the year, detailed on pages 89 
and 90, the operation of each of the Board 
Committees was considered and it was concluded 
that they continue to operate effectively and were 
well led by their respective Chairs.
An update on the activities of the Committee 
was provided to the Board at each subsequent 
Board meeting. 
Looking ahead
In 2025, the Committee will continue to focus 
on succession planning, both generally and with 
regard to specific key roles, to ensure that we 
remain well positioned for the future. As detailed 
on page 90, we will allow more time on the agenda 
for wider discussions on talent management 
below Board level.
Diversity and inclusion for the Board and senior 
management roles also remains a key item for 
discussion on the agenda and we will continue 
to monitor progress against achievements of the 
agreed senior management diversity targets.

Committee or the contents of this Report, do

Composition, skills and experience
The Board is currently made up of a Non-Executive 
Chair, six Independent Non-Executive Directors 
and two Executive Directors, all of whom are 
equally responsible for the effective stewardship 
and leadership of SEGRO. 
During the year, the Committee reviewed the 
skills and experience of the Board members, 
as well as the size of the Board as a whole, and 
concluded that it was appropriate in size with the 
right balance of skills and experience to fulfil its 
duties. As ever, this will be kept under review. 
Skills and experience of Directors
Induction
On joining the Board new Directors participate in 
a comprehensive induction programme designed 
to familiarise them with the Company, its assets, 
policies and procedures, and to introduce them 
to employees and key advisers, in order to assist 
them in becoming effective in their role as quickly 
as possible.
As part of the induction process, they are 
provided with information on the Group, its 
policies and its governance structure by the 
Company Secretary. 
They will also meet with the Executive Directors, 
the other members of the Executive Committee, 
the Heads of Functions covering various aspects 
of the business, and the Company’s external 
advisers which include the valuers, brokers, and 
internal and external auditors, during the course 
of Board activities. 
Training
To ensure the Board continually updates and 
refreshes its skills and knowledge, ongoing 
training and development support is provided. 
The Directors are regularly briefed on: business-
related matters; governance updates; investor 
expectations; and legal and regulatory changes 
which impact the Company. 
During the year, both the Audit and Remuneration 
Committees received updates or briefings on 
relevant accounting, remuneration and regulatory 
developments, evolving market trends and 
changing disclosure requirements from external 
advisers and internal management. As detailed 
on pages 98 and 99, members of the Audit 
Committee spent time familiarising themselves 
with the evolving requirements in relation to the 
emerging EU non-financial reporting 
requirements. 
Directors may also request training on specific 
issues with some attending external courses 
(often provided by our professional advisers). 
From time to time, meetings with specialists in 
the business are arranged for Directors who may 
wish to gain a deeper insight into a particular 
topic. The Directors may raise any training needs 
with the Chair which helps to ensure that the 
training programme meets the needs of the 
Board, individual Directors and the business. 
The Directors have access to the advice of 
the Company Secretary and independent 
professional advice is available at the Company’s 
expense, if necessary, in fulfilling their duties 
and responsibilities.
During the year, all Board members received the 
annual refresher training on the UK Market Abuse 
Regulation from the Company Secretary and 
were reminded of their ongoing duties and 
responsibilities as Directors by our corporate 
lawyers, Slaughter and May.

Succession planning
The Committee is responsible for the effective 
and orderly succession planning of Directors, 
both Non-Executive and Executive, the Group 
HR Director and the Company Secretary. 
It monitors the tenure of Directors to ensure that 
it plans sufficiently in advance of retirements 
from the Board to ensure orderly succession of 
Non-Executive Directors. In accordance with 
the Code, all Directors stand for election or 
re-election at each AGM. 
Along with considering Board succession, the 
Committee oversees the development of a 
strong pipeline of diverse and talented individuals 
below Board level. It reviews regularly the quality 
of the Leadership team and senior managers as 
it recognises the importance of creating and 
developing a suitably talented, diverse pipeline 
ready to serve as the next generation of leaders. 
The Chief Executive, supported by the Group 
HR Director, presents to the Committee on 
Leadership team succession planning and the 
talent development programme for the wider 
workforce. For the Executive Committee and for 
roles in the Leadership team, plans are in place 
for both sudden, unforeseen absences, and for 
longer-term succession. These form the basis of 
development plans for our most talented people 
and will ensure that, looking forward, we have the 
right people to deliver our strategy.

Further Information

The Board recognises the benefit and value of 
diversity in its broadest sense and believes that, 
throughout SEGRO, diversity of perspective and 
experience enables more effective discussion 
and better decision making. SEGRO is a pan-
European business committed to the creation 
of an inclusive culture, where each individual is 
given the opportunity to contribute and use their 
talents and abilities to their maximum potential.
We believe a diverse Board, with a broad range of 
skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience, 
is a key driver of an effective Board as it promotes 
constructive debate and effective decision making. 
The composition of the Board exceeds the 
criteria of both the FTSE Women Leaders Review 
on gender diversity and the Parker Review on 
ethnic diversity. As at 31 December 2024, 44 per 
cent of the Board were female, 22 per cent were 
from an ethnic minority background and one 
senior Board position was held by a female. 
The Board aspires to promote greater diversity 
across the business which forms an integral part 
of our Nurturing talent strategic pillar. During the 
year, the Group HR Director presented to the 
Board on the progress made against these 
objectives, which included progress against the 
gender and ethnicity diversity targets for senior 
leadership roles we disclosed last year. 
Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy
The Committee is responsible for monitoring the 
effectiveness of the Board Diversity and Inclusion 
Policy (the Policy) which sets out the Company’s 
approach to diversity and inclusion in respect of 
the Board and its Committees, and considers 
how this contributes to SEGRO’s Group-wide 
diversity and inclusion ambitions. 
The Policy incorporates a broad range of diversity 
factors as set out in the Disclosure Guidance and 
Transparency Rules, specifies diversity targets 
with which the Board aims to comply, and 
considers how the Policy is applied to the Audit, 
Nomination and Remuneration Committees as 
well as the Board as a whole. 
It was last updated during 2023. During 2024, 
the Committee considered that the Board and its 
Committees were in compliance with the Policy, 
which remained appropriate and aligned with 
best practice, and will keep both the Policy itself 
and compliance with it under periodic review.
Diversity and inclusion in Directors’ recruitment
When searching for an additional Director, the 
Committee is mindful of the advantages a diverse 
Board brings, and ensures that in selecting and 
briefing executive search firms, the importance 
of diversity and inclusion are highlighted at the 
outset. The Committee particularly considers 
how it describes the skills and experience needed 
for the roles as this helps attract as wide a pool of 
candidates as possible. Only executive search 
firms who have signed up to the Voluntary Code of 
Conduct for Executive Search Firms will be used in 
the recruitment of Directors. In the final selection 
decision, all Board appointments are made on 
merit and relevant experience, against the criteria 
identified by the Committee with regard to the 
benefits of diversity in the widest sense.

Time commitment
As part of the recruitment process, the 
significant time commitments of potential Board 
members should be disclosed to the Committee. 
On appointment, the Chair and Non-Executive 
Directors receive a formal letter of appointment 
clearly setting out their expected time 
commitment to the Company and any additional 
future commitments should not be undertaken 
without prior notification to the Board. 
Executive Directors are permitted to hold one 
external directorship as approved by the Board. 
David Sleath and Soumen Das each hold one 
external directorship, at RS Group plc and 
NEXT plc respectively. 
The Committee has considered the additional 
commitments of all Directors and has concluded 
that each of them has sufficient time to commit 
to the Company and are not overboarded. 
Their individual contributions are, and continue 
to be, important to the Company’s long-term 
sustainable success. 
For transparency, we disclose all significant 
external appointments held by our Directors in 
their biographies on pages 76 to 78; however it 
is recognised that many of these appointments 
do not require the same time commitment as 
appointments to publicly listed companies. 
Directors’ independence
The Board is made up of a majority of 
Independent Non-Executive Directors, which 
promotes the good governance of the Company 
by ensuring that the Executives are held to 
account and are not able to dominate Board 
decision making. 
The Committee considers each of the Non-
Executive Directors to be independent in 
character and judgement in accordance with 
the criteria set out in the Code. 
The Chair was considered independent on 
appointment and the Committee still considers 
him to be so. 
Prior to their appointment, the Directors must 
disclose any actual or potential conflicts of 
interests and any future business interests that 
could result in a conflict must not be undertaken 
without the prior notification to, and authorisation 
of, the Board. The Board considers and approves 
the conflicts of interest as declared by any 
Director at each Board meeting.
Directors’ effectiveness
The performance and individual contribution of 
each of the Directors is reviewed annually as part 
of the Board performance review process, which 
this year was an externally-facilitated review led 
by external consultant Clare Chalmers. Further 
details can be found on pages 89 and 90. 
The review concluded that the Chair demonstrated 
strong leadership, was supportive in facilitating an 
environment where all Directors can speak openly, 
and remained effective in his role.
The Non-Executive Directors also agreed that the 
Chief Executive continued to perform his role 
with energy and commitment and leads an 
effective Executive team. 
The performance of the other Non-Executive 
Directors is appraised by the Chair and Senior 
Independent Director, whilst the Chief Executive 
provides feedback on the Chief Financial Officer.
Director election/re-election at the AGM
Having considered the skills and performance 
of each Director, and whether they continue to 
be effective and demonstrate commitment 
to their roles, the Committee makes a formal 
recommendation to the Board that they be 
elected/re-elected as appropriate. 
The Committee has concluded that all Directors 
continue to be effective in their roles and 
accordingly will submit themselves for election/
re-election as appropriate by shareholders at the 
2025 AGM.
For information on how each of the Directors 
contribute to the long-term success of the 
Company, see their biographies on pages

respectively, and Carol also noted 
her role as Senior Independent 
Director. 
– Head of Legal and 
Company Secretary
Stephanie Murton outlined the 
Company’s corporate governance 
framework, the annual agenda for 
the Board and its Committees, 
shared insights from last year’s 
internal Board evaluation and

for stakeholder engagement. She 
also provided an overview of our

Conduct and Ethics and 
whistleblowing policies, training on 
our UK Market Abuse Regulation 
policies and detailed how we 
manage conflicts of interest.
– Executive Committee and 
senior management
Each of the Executive Committee 
members detailed their individual

business and operations, the HR 
function, workforce engagement 
programme and Nurturing talent 
programme, Group Operations 
including health and safety, our 
Responsible SEGRO strategy, Data 
Centre and Energy strategy and

6. Appointment
Further to the planned retirement 
of two Directors in 2023, the 
Committee had agreed to keep 
the size and composition of the 
Board under review, including 
whether and how to replace the 
skills and experience of former 
Non-Executive Director, 
Martin Moore. 
These considerations included the 
appropriate size of the Board, the 
loss of Martin’s particular skill, all in 
the context of the Board’s desired 
skills matrix and governance 
policies, with a view to future 
proof the Board ahead of the next 
rotation of retirements in 2027. 
It was concluded that we should 
commence a search for a 
Non-Executive Director with a 
broad experience of European 
real estate. 
Andy Harrison, as Chair of the 
Committee, led the search 
process with support from the 
Senior Independent Director, Carol 
Fairweather, and feedback from 
the Chief Executive, David Sleath.
Having considered a number of 
search firms, Egon Zehnder were 
engaged to undertake a European 
wide search. 
They are a signatory to the Voluntary 
Code of Conduct for Executive 
Search Firms, as required by the 
Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy 
and the Committee felt as though 
they had a good understanding of 
the business and its culture. They 
have no other connection with the 
Company or any of its Directors.
Egon Zehnder commenced the 
search for a diverse selection of 
candidates and the initial long list 
was reviewed by the Committee. 
The Committee identified the 
desirable skills, experience and 
qualities and a role profile was 
agreed. As well as prior experience 
of the UK and Continental 
European markets and property 
investment, the Committee 
stressed the importance of a good 
cultural fit within both the Board 
and the Company. 
Initial interviews with a shortlist 
of candidates were held with the 
Chair, Chief Executive, Senior 
Independent Director and Chair 
of the Remuneration Committee. 
Following feedback discussions, 
further interviews took place with 
the rest of the Board and references 
were obtained. 
Marcus Sperber was identified as 
the preferred candidate. 
The Committee considered him to 
be a high calibre candidate with the 
relevant experience to add insight to 
discussions and a valuable addition 
to the Board. His other commitments 
were noted, and the Committee 
concluded that he was not 
overboarded and would have 
sufficient time to dedicate to 
the role. 
The Committee made a formal 
recommendation to the Board, 
following which Marcus was 
appointed as an Independent 
Non-Executive Director with effect 
from 1 May 2024. He will be subject 
to election by shareholders at the 
upcoming AGM in April 2025.

Independent Non-Executive Directors and 
each member has considerable commercial 
knowledge and broad industry expertise. 
I satisfy the requirement of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code 2018 (the Code) to bring 
recent and relevant financial experience to the 
Committee, and the Committee also benefits 
from the additional financial expertise and 
experience provided by both Simon Fraser and 
Linda Yueh as well as the wealth of property 
experience brought by Sue Clayton. 
There were no changes to the Committee during 
the year, and the Board remains satisfied that the 
Committee as a whole has the relevant 
competence and appropriate balance of skills 
and experience to properly discharge its duties.
Meetings
The Committee met formally three times during 
the year and provided updates to the Board 
on its activities at each subsequent meeting. 
We believe this is the appropriate amount of 
scheduled meetings, however if the need arises, 
additional formal meetings are convened.
 
As usual, our external and internal auditors joined 
the meetings throughout the year, together with a 
number of employees from across the business. 
We continue to find this incredibly valuable as it 
allows us to see the pool of talent within the 
Company and facilitates a greater depth of 
discussion and debate on some specialist topics.
In 2024, we were joined by:
	– the Head of Finance for the Group and Group 
Financial Controller to consider the accounting 
judgements and treatments that have been 
adopted for particular transactions;
	– the Head of Legal and Company Secretary, 
who provided updates on relevant legal and 
regulatory matters as well as the work of the 
Group Legal function;
	– the Head of Tax, who provided an update on 
developments in the current tax landscape, 
the Group’s tax strategy and an overview of 
significant tax issues or changes that could 
potentially impact the Group’s tax charge;
	– the Head of Technology, who delivered his 
annual update on developments in cyber 
security threats, the continued investments by 
the Company in response, and the current 
status of cyber security defences; and 
	– the Commercial Finance Director and Head of 
Sustainable Finance, who shared an update on 
sustainability matters including the status of 
preparation for reporting under the emerging 
EU non-financial reporting requirements.
During the year, the Committee has acted in 
accordance with its Terms of Reference, 
which were last updated in June 2022 and 
can be found at: www.SEGRO.com

Further Information

Regular updates were also provided to the 
Committee on the risk management process, 
internal controls and anti-bribery and 
corruption matters.
In addition to scheduled meetings, I speak 
regularly with the Chief Financial Officer, Head of 
Finance for the Group, Group Financial Controller 
and Head of Legal and Company Secretary to 
discuss any topical issues that should be brought 
to the attention of the Committee.
Areas of focus in 2024
A comprehensive list of the Committee’s activities 
in 2024 can be found on the right. Some specific 
highlights this year included:
	– agreeing the approach to the external auditor 
tender in 2025;
	– considering the RICS mandatory requirement 
for the periodic rotation of UK valuers, which 
will come into force in May 2026 which was 
also considered by the Board as a whole in 
December 2024; and 
	– 	keeping under review the evolving requirements 
for the Group in relation to the emerging EU 
non-financial reporting requirements. 
Committee effectiveness
As part of the external Board performance review, 
the operation of the Committee was considered 
(see pages 89 and 90) and was deemed to be 
operating effectively. 
FRC Letter
During the year, the Company received a letter 
from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) 
following a routine review of the 2023 Annual 
Report and Accounts. Please see page 100 for 
further information. 
Discharge of responsibilities
The quality of debate and challenge amongst 
the Committee, management and the internal 
and external audit teams, together with the 
comprehensive information provided to the 
Committee, has assisted us in appropriately 
discharging our responsibility.
I would like to thank all those who have contributed 
to the Committee this year for their efforts.
Looking ahead
In 2025, the Committee will:
	– undertake a competitive tender of the external 
auditor in line with the recommendations of the 
FRC’s Audit Committees and the External Audit: 
Minimum Standard; 
	– review our risk management and internal 
controls frameworks in preparation for the 
introduction of the new Provision 29 of the 
updated UK Corporate Governance Code 
2024, which comes into effect for the 2026 
financial year; and 
	– continue to monitor progress of preparation for 
reporting under the emerging EU non-financial 
reporting requirements.

shareholders to assess the Group’s position, 
performance, business model and strategy.

Audit, risk and internal control continued
Audit Committee Report continued
A key area of responsibility for the Committee 
is the monitoring of the integrity of the 
Company’s Financial Statements and any 
formal announcements relating to the 
Company’s financial performance, as well as 
reviewing any significant financial reporting 
issues and judgements contained therein.
The Group has long-established internal 
controls and risk management systems in 
relation to the process for preparing the 
Financial Statements. Various checks on 
internal financial controls take place throughout 
the year, including internal audits which are 
detailed further on page 103. Developments 
in accounting regulations and best practice 
in financial reporting are monitored by the 
Company and, where appropriate, reflected 
in the Financial Statements. Training is also 
provided to the finance teams and the 
Committee is kept appropriately informed.
The financial reporting from each business 
(UK and Continental Europe) is reviewed by 
the Head of Finance for the business, following 
submission by the regional finance teams. 
The results of each business are subject to 
further review by the Group Finance function, 
including senior members of the Group 
Finance team, before being consolidated. 
The draft consolidated statements are 
reviewed by various individuals including 
those independent of the preparer. The review 
includes checking consistency internally, 
with other statements and with internal 
accounting records.
The Committee receives reports from 
management and the external auditor on 
significant judgements, changes in accounting 
policies, and other relevant matters relating to 
the consolidated Financial Statements. 
The Committee and the Board review the draft 
consolidated Financial Statements.
FRC Letter
As part of its standard review in respect of public 
and large private companies’ accounts and 
reports, the FRC wrote to the Company and 
provided a number of minor suggestions that 
have been addressed where relevant and 
appropriate in the 2024 Annual Report and 
Accounts. The FRC clarified that this did not 
amount to substantive correspondence and 
no formal response was required from the 
Company. The FRC noted that their review was 
limited to the published 2023 Annual Report; 
it did not benefit from a detailed understanding 
of underlying transactions and provides no 
assurance that the 2023 Annual Report is 
correct in all material aspects. 
The Code requires the Board to confirm that 
they consider that the Annual Report, taken as 
a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable 
and provides the information necessary for 
shareholders to assess the Company’s position, 
performance, business model and strategy.
In order to enable the Board to make this 
confirmation, the Audit Committee has 
oversight of the process which has been 
followed, whereby the section owners and 
an independent reviewer confirm that in 
their opinion and against an agreed list of 
criteria the Annual Report is fair, balanced 
and understandable. 
These criteria include:
 
	– is the whole story presented, with key 
messages appropriately reflected?; 
	– does the Report properly provide the 
necessary information, with a good level of 
consistency, for stakeholders to assess 
SEGRO as a business?; and 
	– is the Report presented in straightforward 
language, easy to understand and within 
a clear framework?
The Committee reviewed the process that 
management had undertaken to make the 
statement, which included regular meetings 
of the Annual Report and Accounts Working 
Group during the drafting process to ensure 
a consistent approach, and confirmed to the 
Board that the processes and controls around 
the preparation of the Annual Report are 
appropriate, robust and consistent.
The fair, balanced and understandable 
statement is made on page 134.
Financial reporting process
Fair, balanced and understandable
Viability statement and going concern
The Committee is responsible for ensuring that 
the process put in place to allow the Board to 
make the viability statement on page 61 
remains robust, in line with market practice 
and is correctly and properly followed. 
The Committee reviewed the process which 
included extended scenario analysis and is 
comfortable with the process followed to make 
the viability statement and has confirmed this 
to the Board. 
The Committee reviewed the recommendation 
setting out the support for adopting the going 
concern basis in preparing the financial 
statements. The Committee confirmed to 
the Board that the recommendation was 
appropriate. The Board’s statement is set out 
on page 46.

Significant matter
The action taken
Valuation of the property portfolio
Valuation is central to the business’ performance and is a significant estimate for the 
Committee as it is inherently subjective, because the valuer must make assumptions and 
judgements in reaching its conclusions. 
This is a recurring risk for the Group as it is key to its IFRS profitability, balance sheet portfolio 
value, net asset value, total property return, and employee incentives. It also affects 
investment decisions and the implementation of the Company’s Disciplined Capital 
Allocation policy. 
It is included on the Risk Register and the process risk map as a potential key business risk.
The Committee ensured that there was a robust process in place to satisfy itself that the valuation of the property portfolio by CBRE, 
a leading firm in the UK and Continental European property markets, was carried out appropriately and independently. 
The Chair of the Audit Committee met separately with CBRE in advance of the Committee meetings to review the valuation process 
in detail and ensure the valuer remained independent, objective and effective. 
Given the significance of this judgement, as in previous years, the full Board also met twice with CBRE to review, challenge, debate 
and consider the valuation process; understand any particular issues encountered in the valuation; understand the impact of climate 
change and sustainability requirements on valuations; and discuss the processes and methodologies used. 
The auditors also meet with the valuers, and they use the services of their own in-house property valuation expert to test the 
assumptions made by CBRE. They report to the Audit Committee on their findings. 
The Committee confirmed that it was satisfied that the valuation was not subject to undue influence and had been carried out 
fairly and appropriately, and in accordance with the industry valuation standards, and therefore suitable for inclusion in the 
Financial Statements. 
For details of the Group’s properties and related accounting policies see Note 13 and Note 1 of the Financial Statements. For details 
of the results of the valuation see Note 13 of the Financial Statements.

External auditor
Audit, risk and internal control continued
Audit Committee Report continued
Following a tender in 2015, 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) were 
appointed as the Company’s external auditor 
for the 2016 audit, and the Committee continues 
to enjoy a constructive working relationship 
with them. 
Richard Porter has been the external audit partner 
since 2023. The Committee Chair has had regular 
discussions with Richard and his PwC colleagues 
to consider matters as they arise throughout the 
year and the Committee regularly meets privately 
with Richard to discuss PwC’s work and 
observations on the Company. No areas of 
concern were raised during the year.
Oversight
PwC presented their audit plan for the year which 
the Committee considered and approved. The 
key areas of risk, which were primarily identified 
as areas of judgement and complexity, were 
highlighted by PwC and were consistent with 
those areas identified by the Committee. 
The level of audit materiality was also discussed 
and agreed.
PwC presented a detailed report of their audit 
findings at the year end, which were reviewed 
and discussed. A review of the external auditor’s 
report was also undertaken by the Committee 
at the half year. As part of the reviews the 
Committee probed and challenged the work 
undertaken and the findings and the key 
assumptions made, with particular attention 
to the areas of audit risk identified.
Independence
The Company complies with the Competition 
and Markets Authority Order 2014 relating to audit 
tendering and the provision of non-audit services. 
There are no contractual obligations which 
restrict the Committee’s choice of external 
auditor or which put in place a minimum period 
for their tenure. The external audit was last 
tendered in 2015 following which the auditor 
changed in 2016 from Deloitte LLP to PwC. 
In the coming year, the Committee will lead the 
tender of the external auditor as stipulated by 
current regulation that requires a tender every 
10 years, as detailed on page 103.
Remuneration 
The Committee considers the remuneration of 
the external auditor at least on a semi-annual 
basis and approves its remuneration. It also keeps 
under close review the ratio of audit to non-audit 
fees to ensure that the independence and 
objectivity of the external auditor are safeguarded.
In 2024, fees for audit services amounted to 
£1.58 million and the non-audit fees amounted 
to £0.31 million, of which £0.20 million was 
subject to the non-audit fee cap which is broadly 
in line with the previous year. The balance is 
related to work in respect of the forthcoming 
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. 
The non-audit fee for 2024 equates to 14 per cent 
of the average audit fees of the last three years.
The chart below sets out the ratio of audit to 
non-audit fees for each of the past three years:
 
2024

The Committee has concluded that PwC remains 
independent and objective, and that the level of 
non-audit to audit fees is acceptable for 2024. 
PwC has provided written confirmation of its 
independence to the Committee.
We have voluntarily provided details on the fees 
relating to the audit of the Group’s SELP joint 
venture with PSP Investments, for which PwC is 
the auditor, in Note 6(ii) to the Financial 
Statements. The Committee has no oversight or 
control over these fees as the SELP joint venture 
operates totally independently and is not 
controlled by the SEGRO Group or the Committee. 
The fees are provided solely for information 
purposes and do not form part of the audit fees 
nor are they included in the calculation to determine 
the ratio of audit to non-audit fees on an annual or 
three-year basis for the SEGRO Group.
Policy for approval of non-audit fees
The Committee considers the Policy for Approval 
of Non-Audit Fees on an annual basis to ensure 
that it remains fit for purpose. 
The Policy, which is available on our website at 
www.SEGRO.com, was updated in February 2025.
The Committee is satisfied that the Policy is 
appropriate and in line with industry best practice. 
The Policy sets out the very limited circumstances 
where PwC may be appointed to carry out 
non-audit services but only with the prior consent 
of the Committee or the Committee Chair, through 
delegation of authority from the Committee. 
There must be an obvious and compelling reason 
why PwC should be appointed and there should 
be no threat to the independence of PwC. 
The impact on non-audit to audit fees must also 
be considered, and fees incurred for non-audit 
work must not exceed 70 per cent of the 
average of the audit fees paid for the last three 
consecutive years. All non-audit fees are reported 
to the Committee.
Effectiveness
The Committee assesses the effectiveness of 
the external audit process on an annual basis, 
by taking account the views of management 
involved in the audit and by reviewing a number 
of factors including:
	– performance in discharging the audit and 
half-year review;
	– independence and objectivity; 
	– robustness of the audit process, including how 
the auditor demonstrated professional 
scepticism and challenged management’s 
assumptions particularly in relation to the 
valuation of the Group’s portfolio; 
	– the quality of service and delivery, including 
appropriate resources and skills for the 
complexity of SEGRO’s audit; and
	– remuneration.
The Committee also noted the results of the PwC 
Audit Quality Review inspection results 2023/24.
Having considered the above, the Committee 
believes the audit to be effective with an 
appropriate level of challenge.

Re-appointment
On the basis of the above, the Committee 
recommended to the Board that it propose to 
shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting 
that PwC should be reappointed for the 2025 
financial year.
External auditor tender
Ultimate responsibility for the external auditor 
tender process sits with the Committee. As such, 
at the December 2024 meeting, the Committee 
considered and approved the proposed 
approach, criteria and timeline for the tender 
which will take place during 2025. 
The tender will comply with all aspects of the 
FRC’s Audit Committees and the External Audit: 
Minimum Standard. Following completion of the 
tender, the Committee will make an appropriate 
recommendation through the Board to be 
considered by shareholders at the 2026 AGM. 
A summary of the external auditor tender process 
and the outcome will be reported in next year’s 
Audit Committee Report. 
The Committee believes that given the 
Company’s size and structure using a third party 
to perform the internal audit function continues 
to be the most appropriate model. This provides 
independent challenge of management and 
gives access to a wide range of expertise. 
KPMG has performed the role since its 
appointment in 2007 and re-appointments in 
2014 and 2022 following a tender.
During their tenure, there have been a number of 
rotations of lead partners and audit managers to 
ensure that a fresh perspective is given, and their 
independence and scrutiny are maintained.
Topics included in the internal audit plan for 2024 
were selected based on a review of the Group’s 
principal risks, the timing of the previous audit 
and advice on market insights from KPMG. 
Significant areas of risk are subject to internal 
audit on a cyclical basis. 
The proposed internal audit plan for 2024 was 
considered and approved by the Committee in 
December 2023, and was kept under review 
during the course of the year. 
Internal audits during 2024 included:
	– leasing;
	– health and safety;
	– data management and governance;
	– insurance; and
	– sales, invoicing and credit control. 
Each internal audit during 2024 confirmed that 
no significant control issues were identified. 
However, a number of process and minor control 
improvement points were identified with follow 
up actions and timelines which were regularly 
monitored by management and the Committee.
Feedback on the performance of KPMG for each 
internal audit is given by the Company and was 
largely positive and no areas of particular concern 
have been brought to the Committee’s attention. 
The lead KPMG partner attends Committee 
meetings to present KPMG’s report and the 
Committee also meets privately with him during 
the year. No matters of concern were raised in 
the private meetings.
Effectiveness
The Committee believes that both the process 
for determining the internal audit programme, 
and the programme itself, are appropriate and 
effective, and as in previous years the programme 
will be amended during the year if required to 
react to any new events or information. 
The Committee is satisfied that the internal audit 
function continues to perform effectively. 
The single most important judgement that the 
Committee and the Board has to make is the 
value of the Group’s portfolio. The Committee is 
assisted in reaching this judgement by its external 
valuer, CBRE, who have held this position since 
2012. CBRE was reappointed in 2021 for a further 
four-year term, and the Committee believes that 
it continues to be effective in its role. 
The effectiveness of the Group’s valuers is 
assessed through regular meetings during the 
year with the Chair of the Audit Committee and 
supplemented by additional sessions with 
management, which focused on the following:
	– independence and objectivity;
	– experience and qualification of the 
valuation team;
	– consistency of approach across each of the 
countries in which the Group operates; and
	– quality of data and materials, including the two 
presentations to the Board.
As a result, the Committee concluded that the 
external valuers performed to a high standard, 
were independent, and that the well-run process 
delivered a robust set of valuations.
The Committee is mindful of the new RICS 
requirement for the mandatory periodic rotation 
of UK valuers, which will come into effect for the 
Group’s UK-based assets for the June 2026 
valuation. At the December 2024 meeting, the 
Board considered and agreed the proposed 
approach and timeline for the tender process.

Risk
The Board recognises that effective risk 
management is key to the long-term sustainable 
success and future growth of the business and 
the achievement of the Group’s strategic 
objectives (see pages 50 to 53). It is ever aware of 
the need to ensure that new and emerging risks, 
as well as the more established principal risks, are 
adequately managed and mitigated. Risk 
management is therefore embedded in the 
Company’s decision making and culture, and 
robust systems have been put in place to ensure 
this remains the case.
 
There is an ongoing process for identifying, 
evaluating and managing the principal risks 
faced by the Group, which has been in place 
during the year, together with the means for 
identifying those emerging risks which may 
impact the Group in the future. These emerging 
risks are discussed throughout the business by 
the appropriate working groups, conducting 
both horizon scanning and discussions at a 
more granular level. The Group Risk Committee 
monitors and reports on the Company’s 
approach to risk management as detailed further 
on page 50. 
The Board assumes responsibility for the effective 
management of risk across the Group, determined 
by its risk appetite, as well as ensuring that each 
business area implements appropriate internal 
controls. The Committee reviews regularly the 
effectiveness of the risk management process on 
behalf of the Board and is satisfied that it remains 
robust for the financial year in question and up to 
the date of this Annual Report. 
Internal controls
The Committee is responsible for reviewing the 
adequacy and effectiveness of internal control 
systems (covering all material controls including 
financial, operational and compliance controls 
and risk management systems) on behalf of 
the Board. 
At each meeting, the Committee receives an 
update on internal controls and regularly reviews 
the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s 
internal control systems through various 
activities including:
	– reviewing the effectiveness of the risk 
management process;
	– reviewing and challenging management’s 
self-assessment of the internal controls 
framework; and
	– reviewing the work undertaken by the 
internal and external auditor, in relation to 
internal controls.
The Committee also receives at each meeting an 
anti-bribery and corruption report to enable it to 
satisfy its responsibility for ensuring that adequate 
safeguards for the prevention of bribery and 
corruption and detection of fraud are in place. 
Details of how matters of concern can be 
reported and will be investigated are on page 82.
During the year, the Committee received a 
report of one whistleblowing allegation through 
its independent telephone line which, following 
a thorough investigation, was found to be 
unsubstantiated and closed.
The Group’s internal auditor, KPMG, also facilitated 
a Fraud Vulnerability workshop with a number of 
stakeholders from across the business, to discuss 
the key fraud risks that could potentially impact 
SEGRO and the mitigating controls in place. An 
update was provided to the Committee at the 
December 2024 meeting. 
Outcome
The framework for monitoring and maintaining 
internal controls is considered appropriate for 
a Group of SEGRO’s size and complexity and 
is designed to provide reasonable assurance 
against material misstatement or loss. 
On the basis of the Committee’s work, it confirms 
that it has not been advised of, or identified, any 
failings or weaknesses which it regards to be 
significant in relation to the Group’s internal 
control systems during the year. It also confirms 
that the Group’s internal control systems have 
been in place for the year under review and up 
to the date of approval of this Annual Report 
and are in accordance with the Guidance on 
Risk Management, Internal Control and Related 
Financial and Business Reporting issued by the 
Financial Reporting Council.

The role of the Committee is to determine the 
remuneration policies and practices which 
promote the long-term sustainable success 
of the Company, which are aligned with the 
Company’s Purpose and Values and its strategy.
In the following pages you will see how the 
Committee has discharged its responsibilities 
as well as other key areas of focus in 2024.
Composition and Committee meetings
The Committee continues to be comprised 
entirely of Independent Non-Executive Directors. 
The Committee had three scheduled meetings 
during the year and Committee member 
attendance can be found on page 78. The Chief 
Executive, Group HR Director and external 
remuneration adviser attend Committee 
meetings by invitation as required. Following 
each Committee meeting, I provide an update 
to the Board on the Committee’s activities.
Key areas of focus in 2024
A major area of focus for the Committee was the 
development of the new Remuneration Policy 
(the 2025 Policy), which we are recommending 
to shareholders for approval at the 2025 AGM. 
The 2025 Policy was developed internally with 
support from our remuneration advisers and was 
further refined following a consultation process 
with approximately 60 per cent of the Company’s 
shareholder base and key proxy advisory 
agencies. I discuss this further overleaf and the 
full 2025 Policy can be found on pages 123 to 131.
During the year, the Committee approved the 
Executive Directors’ variable remuneration 
and annual salary increases, and assessed the 
variable targets prior to the 2021 LTIP vesting to 
ensure the outcomes represented a fair reflection 
of the business performance throughout the 
performance period.
The Committee also approved the grant of awards 
under the Company’s all-employee schemes 
and reviewed the wider workforce remuneration 
framework to ensure this remained aligned 
with the structure of remuneration for the 
Executive Directors. 
Remuneration and alignment to 
Company performance
As covered elsewhere within this Annual Report, 
SEGRO performed well during 2024, increasing 
the level of contracted rent and delivering strong 
operating metrics despite the macroeconomic 
environment and its impacts on wider 
business confidence.
Long-term structural trends continued to support 
occupier demand for industrial space and supply 
remained in check. This, along with the expertise 
and strong customer relationships of the asset 
management teams helped SEGRO capture a 
significant amount of the embedded reversion 
within the portfolio while keeping customer 
retention rates high, both supporting strong
like-for-like rental growth.
Weaker business confidence resulted in lower 
levels of pre-let activity in our markets and a 
smaller development programme than in recent 
years, however development returns remain 
attractive and £37 million of completions during 
the year also contributed to income and 
earnings growth.
Finally, with liquidity returning to investment 
markets the investment teams were able to make 
some profitable disposals, the proceeds of which 
were redeployed into growth opportunities.

Remuneration continued
Directors’ Remuneration Report continued
France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, the Czech 
Republic and the Netherlands. Since the last 
Policy review, the Company has expanded the 
size of its property portfolio by 7 per cent in terms 
of space under management and increased its 
earnings per share by 19 per cent, while maintaining 
a strong balance sheet with a loan-to-value ratio 
of 28 per cent at 31 December 2024.
Regarding the implementation of the 2025 Policy 
for the financial year ending 31 December 2025, 
the maximum bonus opportunity for the Chief 
Executive will be increased to 200 per cent of 
salary, subject to shareholder approval of the 
2025 Policy. The maximum bonus opportunity 
for the Chief Financial Officer will remain at 150 
per cent of salary. Annual bonus targets for the 
2025 financial year have been set taking into 
consideration internal and external forecasts to 
ensure that targets are stretching and incentivising. 
Further details are set out on page 109. 
The increase in bonus opportunity for the Chief 
Executive reflects the increase in size of the 
business since the last Policy review. The Chief 
Executive’s target total remuneration will be 
approximately 18 per cent below the FTSE 100 
median but above the lower quartile level following 
the change. Recognising shareholders’ desire to 
restrain salary increases, the Committee felt that 
an increase in bonus opportunity was the most 
appropriate way to reflect the growth in the business 
and not fall too far below mid-market levels.
2. Broadening Remuneration Committee 
discretion
The 2022 Policy only permitted the Committee to 
scale back the formulaic outcome of the annual 
bonus and LTIP awards. Under the proposed 
2025 Policy, the Committee has the ability to 
exercise both upward and downward discretion 
in respect of incentives in line with market 
practice. Where any upward discretion is 
exercised the Committee would, where 
appropriate, consult with investors and, in all 
circumstances, give a detailed explanation of 
the rationale in the following Annual Report.
Exercise of discretion and judgement
When approving the formulaic outcomes under 
the annual bonus and LTIP, the Committee 
considered whether or not they represented a 
fair reflection of the underlying performance of 
the business. 
The Committee was satisfied that the 
performance conditions were reflective of the 
business performance and that no overriding 
adjustment would have been appropriate. The 
Committee did not exercise discretion in relation 
to the operation of the Policy during the year. 
 
The Committee is comfortable that the actions 
taken on pay during the year across the 
Company were appropriate and balanced the 
interests of all stakeholders and that the Policy 
operated as intended.
2024 LTIP award
The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer 
received an LTIP award in March 2024 with three 
equally-weighted performance conditions in line 
with the Policy. Further details can be found on 
page 113.
Directors’ Remuneration Policy
During the course of this year the Committee 
conducted a review of the Policy, which is due to 
be renewed at our 2025 AGM. We consider our 
Policy to be working effectively and aligned with 
our strategy and, as a result, we are not proposing 
structural changes. 
The key changes to the Policy are set out below: 
1. Increase in the maximum annual bonus 
opportunity
The maximum annual bonus opportunity 
available under the proposed 2025 Policy for 
Executive Directors will increase from 150 per 
cent to 200 per cent of salary. This reflects the 
increase in the scale of the business, provides a 
more market competitive bonus opportunity and 
better alignment with the Company’s current 
strategy which is focused on both short-term 
performance and long-term value creation. 
SEGRO is the largest UK REIT, with a pan-European 
portfolio and operating platform across the UK, 
Variable remuneration
Taking into account our operational results and our 
performance versus the financial and non-financial 
KPIs that were within management’s control 
during a year of continued macroeconomic 
and geopolitical challenge, the Committee has 
confirmed the following performance-related 
payments to the Executive Directors:
2024 annual bonus
The annual bonus was subject to Adjusted PBT 
(37.5 per cent), rent roll growth (37.5 per cent) and 
ESG targets (25 per cent). Based on performance 
during the year, the 2024 annual bonus payment 
will be 56.6 per cent of maximum (see page 111 
for more details).
2022 LTIP performance
The LTIP structure is designed to ensure that 
senior management reward is well aligned with 
shareholder returns. Vesting is calculated by 
reference to three equally-weighted performance 
conditions. Based on actual TSR performance 
over the performance period, and on the TPR and 
TAR data currently available, it is expected that 
none of the 2022 LTIP will vest. Final vesting 
under the 2022 LTIP will be determined once 
the TPR and TAR information is available. Any 
difference in the vesting outcome will be disclosed 
in the 2025 Annual Report. Any shares that vest 
as a result of the 2022 LTIP awards are subject to 
a two-year post-vesting holding period.
The performance period of January 2022 to 
December 2024 coincides with a period of 
macroeconomic volatility, with high inflation 
leading to high interest rates, and a resultant 
impact on investment and occupier markets. 
SEGRO, and the wider industrial and logistics 
property sector, saw a higher correction than 
other property sub-sectors, and hence 
underperformed their performance metrics 
which are measured versus other listed UK REITs. 
TPR has underperformed its benchmark mainly 
due to SEGRO’s weighting to prime assets, which 
have a lower income yield but which should offer 
the opportunity for better future returns.
Adjusted profit before tax (Adjusted PBT) 
increased by 14.9 per cent to £470 million and 
adjusted earnings per share increased by 5.5 
per cent to 34.5 pence. Adjusted NAV per share 
remained at 907 pence and the Company has 
maintained a strong balance sheet with a loan 
to value ratio of 28.0 per cent. The Board is 
recommending a final dividend of 20.2 pence 
per share, making the full-year dividend 29.3 
pence per share, an increase of 5.4 per cent. 
Further information on the Company’s 
performance during the year can be found in the 
Chief Executive’s statement on pages 11 to 15 and 
the Strategic Report on pages 10 to 71. 
A summary of the Group’s key financial metrics 
relating to Executive remuneration in 2024 can 
be found on page 108 and information regarding 
the alignment of remuneration outcomes to 
our strategy and performance can be found on 
page 115. 
Remuneration in 2024
Directors’ remuneration in 2024 was paid in line 
with the Company’s existing Remuneration Policy 
(the Policy), which was approved by shareholders 
at the 2022 AGM. 
The remuneration framework for both our 
Executive Directors and the wider workforce 
is aligned with the strategic direction and 
performance of SEGRO as well as the interests 
of our stakeholders, and this is set out in the 
charts on pages 115 and 116. 
As indicated on page 116, the 2024 annual bonus 
for the wider workforce is aligned to Group-wide 
Adjusted PBT, rent roll growth (RRG), ESG 
measures, as well as the achievement of personal 
objectives. The weighting of the personal 
performance measure varies based on seniority 
and makes up a larger percentage of bonus 
measures for more junior employees, allowing for 
sufficient opportunity to recognise individual 
performance as well as Company financial 
and operational performance in the annual 
bonus structure.

Committee effectiveness
As part of the external Board performance review, 
the operation of the Committee was considered 
and it was concluded that the Committee 
continues to operate effectively in accordance 
with its terms of reference, which are available 
to view at www.SEGRO.com. 
Looking ahead
The key areas of focus for the Committee in 2025 
will be:
	– the implementation of the 2025 Policy, subject 
to shareholder approval at the AGM; 
	– ensuring that the vesting of long-term 
incentives in 2025 accurately reflects the 
performance of the Executive Directors and the 
experience of stakeholders; 
	– reviewing progress against and continued 
appropriateness of the performance conditions 
and weightings of the annual bonus for 
Executive Directors; and
	– monitoring emerging trends in remuneration 
and corporate governance as a whole.
Conclusion
The Remuneration Report and the 2025 Policy will 
be submitted to shareholders at the 2025 AGM, as 
well as the amendment to the rules of the LTIP as 
outlined. We believe that these changes are in the 
best interests of the Company and we hope that 
we can count on shareholder support at the AGM. 
If you have any questions about remuneration 
generally, or the contents of this Report, do 
contact me at
companysecretariat.mailbox@SEGRO.com. 
I will also be attending the 2025 AGM and will be 
pleased to answer any questions you may have 
about the work of the Committee.
Simon Fraser
Chair of the Remuneration Committee
Committee concluded that no changes to the 
ESG measures were required and that ESG 
measures will continue to make up 25 per cent 
of the overall bonus for Executive Directors.
2025 LTIP awards
The Committee intends to make awards at the 
normal policy levels, the Chief Executive will 
receive a maximum LTIP award of 300 per cent of 
salary and the Chief Financial Officer will receive 
a maximum LTIP award of 250 per cent of salary. 
The Committee will undertake a final review of 
the targets and quantum prior to grant. Awards 
will continue to be subject to three equally-
weighted measures (relative TSR, TPR and TAR). 
Stakeholder engagement
Ahead of the AGM, we have engaged with 20 of 
our largest investors (representing approximately 
60 per cent of the register) as well as Institutional 
Shareholder Services (ISS), The Investment 
Association (IA) and Glass Lewis, to understand 
their views on our proposed 2025 Policy and 
proposed implementation in 2025. Based on the 
feedback received from our engagement, investors 
raised no immediate concerns on the changes 
proposed to the Policy and the proposed 
implementation of the new 2025 Policy in 2025.
Workforce considerations and engagement
As part of the Policy review conducted during the 
year, the Committee considered pay alignment 
across the business to ensure everyone is 
rewarded fairly and that workforce pay aligns 
with Executive remuneration.
During the year, the Non-Executive Directors held 
a series of workforce engagement sessions with 
a cross-section of employees including one 
which covered the alignment of Executive 
remuneration with wider workforce pay. Further 
details on this engagement is set out on page 117.
3. Wider Policy changes
Further changes to the Policy are minor and of a 
housekeeping nature. Further details are set out 
in the Policy section of this Report on page 123.
LTIP rules
Minor amendments have been made to the 
LTIP rules to ensure that they align with the 2025 
Policy. The LTIP rules will be submitted to 
shareholders for approval at the 2025 AGM.
Remuneration in 2025
The Committee has reviewed the Executive 
Directors’ variable remuneration and annual 
salary increases to apply in 2025 in line with the 
2025 Policy.
 
Salary reviews
The Committee reviewed the salaries of 
Executive Directors taking into consideration the 
increases for all other employees as part of the 
process. Our salary budget is approximately 3 per 
cent higher for 2025 than 2024, excluding the 
impact of changes in employee numbers. 
Reflecting their performance and that of the 
business, we have approved salary increases 
of approximately 3 per cent for the Executive 
Directors to take effect from 1 April 2025 
(see page 109).
2025 bonus measures
As noted above, the Chief Executive will have a 
maximum annual bonus opportunity of 200 per 
cent of salary (pending shareholder approval of 
the 2025 Policy) and the Chief Financial Officer 
will have a maximum opportunity of 150 per cent 
of salary. Targets for the annual bonus are set by 
the Committee at the beginning of the year. 
The weighting of the annual bonus performance 
measures are made up of 75 per cent financial 
measures, comprising Adjusted PBT (37.5 per 
cent) and RRG (37.5 per cent, made up of 18.75 
per cent standing (existing) stock and 18.75 per 
cent development), and 25 per cent non-financial 
measures linked to our Responsible SEGRO (ESG) 
ambitions. Following a review of the metrics 
used to calculate the bonus elements and their 
alignment to the Company’s strategy, the 
Throughout the year, the Committee has:
	– developed the 2025 Policy and consulted with 
stakeholders on the proposed changes;
	– approved the Executive Directors’ annual salary 
increases, the 2023 bonus payments and the 
outturn of the 2021 LTIP awards, along with the 
approval of the 2024 bonus and 2024 LTIP targets;
	– reviewed and refined the approach to the ESG 
measures for the 2024 annual bonus prior to 
approval in February 2024; 
	– approved the 2024 SIP, GSIP and Sharesave awards;
	– reviewed the Chair’s fee;
	– reviewed workforce pay to ensure that it continues 
to be aligned with the structure of remuneration for 
the Executive Directors;
	– noted the Group-wide all-employee 2024 salary 
review and considered the salary increases, bonus 
and LTIP awards for the Leadership team; and
	– received remuneration market updates from Korn 
Ferry on emerging themes and best practice.

Any payments to be made under this bonus will be payable in 2026. 
50 per cent of the 2025 bonus will be deferred into shares under the DSBP. 
The 2025 DSBP will vest in April 2029, on the third anniversary of the 
payment of the 2025 bonus.
Pension
Executive Directors will receive cash in lieu of pension to the value of 12 
per cent of their base salaries, which is in line with the UK workforce.

Fees
Fees for the Chair and Non-Executive Directors are reviewed on an annual 
basis. The review of the fees paid to the Chair is within the remit of the 
Committee, whilst the review of Non-Executive Directors’ fees is a matter 
for the Board in the absence of the Non-Executive Directors. 
With effect from 1 January 2025, the Chair and Non-Executive Directors’ 
fees were increased by approximately 3 per cent and in line with the 
Executive Directors’ pay increment. The Chair received a base fee of 
£386,100 and the Non-Executive Directors received a base fee of £73,200. 
There were no increases to the additional fees payable for the roles of the 
Senior Independent Director or Chair of the Audit and Remuneration 
Committees, which remained aligned with benchmarking at £17,700 and 
£20,000 respectively.

2 	For further information on the 2024 Multiple year variable figure on the 2022 LTIP Award, see Chart 5 on page 112.
3	 The total remuneration for Executive and Non-Executive Directors comprising salary (or fees), taxable benefits, pension and bonus was £3.6m (2023: £4.7m). The single figure table for the Non-Executive Directors can be found on page 121.
In applying the Remuneration Policy in 2024, the Committee considered the following factors set out in 
Provision 40 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018 (the Code). 
	– Clarity and simplicity: The Committee is of the opinion that the Policy and its implementation is transparent, 
simple and easy to understand. 
	– Risk: The Company’s remuneration arrangements discourage both the Executive Directors and the wider 
workforce from excessive risk taking in the pursuit of achieving objectives. The bonus, DSBP and LTIP include 
malus and/or clawback provisions. Executive Directors are required to hold a percentage of their base salary 
in shares in the Company (as described further on page 118). Additionally, they are subject to post-cessation 
requirement to continue holdings shares in the event that they leave the Company. Part of their annual bonus 
is subject to deferral under the DSBP and a compulsory post-vesting holding period applies for LTIP shares. 
	– Predictability: Potential values of rewards to the Executive Directors under the Policy are set out in the 
scenario charts on page 131. The Committee has the discretion to override formulaic outturns to ensure 
incentive payouts reflect underlying business performance, and is aligned to shareholder experience.
	– Proportionality: In order to ensure outcomes do not reward poor performance, a significant portion of our 
remuneration framework is performance based and requires challenging performance targets and metrics 
to be achieved.
	– Alignment to culture: There is strong linkage between the structure of the Company’s incentive schemes, 
its Purpose and Values, and strategy. The chart on page 115 illustrates how variable remuneration is aligned 
with KPIs that measure performance against the Company’s strategy.
During the course of the year, the UK Corporate Governance Code was updated. The 2024 Code will largely 
apply to the Company from 1 January 2025. The Committee considered the 2024 Code when reviewing the 
2025 Policy set out on pages 123 to 131.

Single year variable – Bonus, including DSBP (Audited)
2024 Bonus (Audited)
The 2024 bonus comprised three components: Adjusted Profit Before Tax (PBT) 37.5 per cent; Rent Roll Growth (RRG) 37.5 per cent, consisting of standing (existing) stock (18.75 per cent) and development (18.75 per cent); 
and ESG 25 per cent comprising four equally-weighted metrics.
The performance period for Adjusted PBT, RRG and ESG starts from 1 January. The Adjusted PBT and RRG outturns were calculated using a constant exchange rate and also include adjustments for specific items (including 
acquisitions and disposals made during the year) in accordance with the bonus scheme rules as approved by the Committee. The ESG element comprises four equally-weighted Responsible SEGRO measures in accordance with the 
bonus scheme rules as approved by the Committee.
Bonus payments are calculated as a percentage of Executive Directors’ salaries as at 31 December of the relevant year. As explained on page 106, the Committee assessed the underlying performance of the business and concluded 
that no discretion should be exercised in respect of the 2024 bonus.
The 2024 bonus targets and performance against them are set out below. Based on performance over the period, the payout will be 56.6 per cent per cent of the maximum, which will be paid in April 2025. As result, David Sleath will 
receive a payout of approximately £0.68 million and Soumen Das will receive approximately £0.5 million.
The bonus is paid 50 per cent in cash with the remainder awarded as shares under the DSBP. Shares will vest in three years subject to continued employment or good leaver status.
The 2024 DSBP will be awarded in April 2025 and will vest on the third anniversary of the award date in April 2028. Details of the DSBP awards granted to Executive Directors are set out in Chart 13 on page 119.

Multiple year variable – LTIP (Audited)
LTIP awards are subject to a three-year performance period and a compulsory two-year post-vesting holding period for Executive Directors. 
LTIP vesting in 2025 (Audited)
The 2022 LTIP award will vest on 5 May 2025, subject to relative TSR, TPR and TAR over the three-year performance period to 31 December 2024. 
Based on actual TSR performance over the performance period and the TPR and TAR data currently available, it is anticipated that the 2022 LTIP award will not pay out.

1 	 The Company’s TSR over the performance period was -36.7 per cent and the benchmark TSR was -18.1 per cent. 
As SEGRO has not reached the threshold target, this element of the 2022 LTIP award will lapse.
2	 The estimated TPR calculation is based on the Company’s actual annualised TPR between 2022 and 2024 of -0.9 per cent 
and an estimated MSCI benchmark over the same period of -0.6 per cent. On this basis, the Company’s three-year 
TPR to 31 December 2024 has underperformed the estimated MSCI benchmark by 0.3 per cent which would lead to 
0 per cent of the TPR element vesting. The final benchmark will be available in quarter two of 2025 and based on the 
information available at the time of this Report, the Committee has estimated that 0 per cent of this element will vest. 
Any differences will be disclosed in next year’s Report.
3	 100 per cent of the TAR element will vest if the benchmark is exceeded by 2.5 per cent per annum. The final benchmark 
will be available in quarter two of 2025. Based on the information available at the time of this Report, the Company is 
underperforming the benchmark by approximately 5.0 per cent and consequently the Committee has estimated that 
the threshold target will not be met and so it is anticipated that this element of the award will lapse. 
The Committee has the discretion to adjust awards at vesting if it is not satisfied that the outcome is a fair 
reflection of underlying performance, or in the event of excessive risk taking or misstatement. As explained on 
page 106, the Committee assessed the underlying performance of the business and concluded that no such 
discretion should be exercised in respect of the vesting of the 2022 LTIP.
Subject to an LTIP award vesting, at the point of vesting, the underlying number of shares under the award are 
subject to a further two-year post-performance holding period. The Executive Directors will continue to hold their 
award over the shares, and will be entitled to the value of any dividend payments during the holding period; during 
this time they will not be able to sell or transfer the shares under award. The award after vesting is not subject to 
any further conditionality and the normal leaver provisions would not apply, meaning that if the individual resigned 
during the holding period they would retain their award and be entitled to receive the underlying shares at the end 
of the holding period. Only if the individual was summarily dismissed (for gross misconduct) would the award 
lapse on termination of employment during the holding period.

Updated LTIP vesting in 2024 (estimated in 2023 Annual Report) (Audited)
The estimated vesting for the 2021 LTIP award set out in the 2023 Directors’ Remuneration Report was 62.7 per cent, 
based on nil vesting under the TSR element, 100 per cent vesting under the TAR element and 88.2 per cent vesting 
under the TPR element. The final benchmarks for the TAR and TPR elements became available in quarter two of 
2024 and a final assessment concluded that there was no change required to the estimate made in respect of the 
TAR element. The Company’s actual TPR over the performance period was 8.0 per cent and the MSCI benchmark 
was 6.6 per cent. As a result, the Company’s TPR outperformance of 1.3 per cent compared with the MSCI 
benchmark led to 89.9 per cent of the TPR element vesting. Overall, this resulted in a total payout of 63.3 per cent 
for the 2021 LTIP, a 0.6 per cent increase from the 62.7 per cent that was estimated. 
In the 2023 Annual Report the estimated vesting share price for the 2021 LTIP was 785.8 pence, and the figure in 
Chart 1 has been re-presented to reflect the actual vesting share price of 891.7 pence.
2024 LTIP award (Audited)

Other – SIP (Audited)
The ‘other’ figure in Chart 1 includes the SIP and Sharesave:
Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
During the year, SIP free share awards of £3,600 were made to eligible UK employees and Global Share 
Incentive Plan (GSIP) awards of £3,600 were made to eligible employees based outside of the UK. All eligible 
employees, including the Executive Directors, received an award 408 shares in respect of the 2024 SIP and 
GSIP, as set out in the table below:

1	 The number of shares awarded was calculated using a share price of 882.1 pence, based on the five-day average 
share price prior to the date of award.
Sharesave 
All eligible UK employees are invited to join the Sharesave annually and can save up to a maximum of £500 per 
month across all open schemes. At the end of the three-year savings period, they can purchase shares at the 
option price based on a 20 per cent discount to the share price at the time of grant. 
The Executive Directors did not join the 2024 Sharesave and so did not receive any grants under the scheme 
during the year.
Both Executive Directors are participants in the 2023 Sharesave, where they are saving the maximum permitted 
amount. The value of the 20 per cent option discount for each Executive Directors’ savings in the year was 
£1,500.

Supporting information for the CEO pay ratio 
The Chief Executive’s single total figure of remuneration for 2024, detailed further in Chart 1, and employee data 
as at 31 December 2024, have been used for the purposes of this calculation. 
The median CEO pay ratio has decreased when compared against last year (23:1). The main contributor is the 
decrease in variable remuneration outturns in 2024, which make up a larger proportion of the Chief Executive’s 
total remuneration package. Share-based payments were awarded in 2024 through the all-employee Share 
Incentive Plan with all participants, including the Chief Executive, in receipt of the same value awarded which 
helped to achieve further parity.
Additionally, the salary increase received by the Chief Executive in April 2024 was approximately 2 per cent, 
which was below the average UK employee increase of 5 per cent in the same period.
 
SEGRO’s median CEO pay ratio is 13:1 and the Remuneration Committee considers that the median CEO pay ratio 
is representative of the pay, reward and progression policies for our UK workforce.

Workforce engagement on Executive 
Remuneration
As detailed on page 88, during the year the Non-Executive Directors 
held a series of workforce engagement sessions with a cross-section of 
employees from across the business. In December 2024, Remuneration 
Committee Chair, Simon Fraser, and Non-Executive Director, Mary 
Barnard, held an in-person workforce engagement session which 
covered a variety of topics and also covered Executive Remuneration. 
Nine employees were selected from a cross-section of employment 
grades, functions and tenures to provide a variety of perspectives.
Simon outlined the remit of the Committee including the upcoming 
Directors’ Remuneration Policy renewal, as well as the alignment of 
executive and workforce remuneration and this was considered fair 
amongst attendees. There followed a discussion of the Company’s 
bonus structure, including the Responsible SEGRO targets, which had 
been reduced from six to four for the performance year. There was good 
clarity from the employees attending the engagement session on the 
bonus structure for Executives compared to the different levels within the 
business and the attendees expressed that the transparency of progress 
and overall performance against the bonus targets was effective. There 
was also a discussion on the new approach to the assessment of the 
personal performance element of the annual bonus, which had been 
modified during the year from an assessment of ‘what’ contribution an 
individual has made to the business to include an additional assessment 
of ‘how’ an individual’s contribution during the year is aligned with the 
Company’s culture, values and behaviours. This was seen as a positive 
development, however attendees sought additional clarity on how they 
could achieve the higher ratings.
The Directors felt that these sessions remained helpful in understanding 
employees’ views on a range of topics, including Executive Remuneration, 
and appreciated the insightful, open and honest feedback from the 
employee attendees. The employees also valued the opportunity to 
speak directly with the Non-Executive Directors to share their views. 
Feedback from the session was relayed to the Board and discussed at the 
December 2024 Board meeting and will inform plans on the evolution of 
the reward and bonus guidance documentation and a communication 
plan in 2025.

1	 Beneficial interests represent shares beneficially held by each Executive Director, including any shares beneficially held by connected persons as well as shares held on their behalf by the Trustees of the SIP. Between 31 December 2024 and 
13 February 2025, there were no changes in respect of the Executive Directors’ shareholdings. The Trustees of the SIP held a non-beneficial interest in 432,659 shares as at 1 January 2024, 464,528 shares as at 31 December 2024 (2023: 432,659) 
and 452,468 shares as at 13 February 2025. The Trustees of the SEGRO plc Employees’ Benefit Trust held 254,076 shares as at 1 January 2024 and 490,838 shares as at 31 December 2024 (2023: 254,076). There was no change in their holding 
between 31 December 2024 and 13 February 2025. As with other employees, Executive Directors are deemed to have a potential interest in these shares, being beneficiaries under these two Trusts. The Trustees of the SEGRO plc Employees’ 
Benefit Trust have waived the right to receive dividends on these shares.
2	 The number of shares which contribute towards the shareholding requirement comprise beneficial interests (including SIP shares), shares subject to deferral under DSBP and shares held under LTIP subject to the two-year post-vesting holding 
period, net of Income Tax and National Insurance, but excludes shares subject to achievement of performance conditions under LTIP and options outstanding under Sharesave.
3	 Value of shares calculated using a share price of 701.2 pence, as at 31 December 2024.
Chart 12: Policy on shareholding guidelines (Audited)
The Chief Executive is expected to build a shareholding in the Company equivalent to 400 per cent of the value 
of his base salary, and the other Executive Directors are expected to hold shares equivalent to 250 per cent of their 
base salaries, which is calculated each year by reference to the share price as at 31 December. 
Shares which qualify towards the shareholding guidelines comprise: beneficial interests; LTIP awards which have 
vested and are subject to a two-year post-vesting holding period, net of Income Tax and National Insurance; and 
unvested shares in the DSBP, net of Income Tax and National Insurance. 
Executive Directors are required to retain half of their DSBP shares post vesting and half of their LTIP shares post 
holding period until the above guidelines have been met and are then maintained.

Non-Executive Directors’ shareholding guidelines (Audited)
The Committee periodically considers the Non-Executive Directors’ shareholdings to ensure they remain appropriate 
and aligned to the interests of shareholders. Non-Executive Directors are expected to reach a share ownership 
equivalent in value to 100 per cent of their annual fees, within three years from their date of appointment. Where a 
Non-Executive Director has met the 100 per cent of their annual fees guidance previously, they would be considered to 
have adhered to the guidelines and are not expected to adjust their holdings with subsequent share price movements.

Remuneration Committee advisers
The Committee has access to sufficient resources to discharge its duties, which include access to 
independent remuneration advisers, the Company Secretary, the Group HR Director and other 
advisers as required. 
The Committee is responsible for appointing its external advisers and in 2018, following a competitive 
tender process, Korn Ferry was appointed. During 2024, Korn Ferry provided advice on the operation 
and development of the 2025 Policy, Executive Directors’ remuneration, and market and best practice 
guidance, including the provisions of the Code. Its total fees for advice to the Committee in 2024 were 
£105,958 (2023: £61,563), calculated on a time-cost basis.
The Committee determined that Korn Ferry provided objective and independent remuneration advice 
and does not have any connections with the Company or its Directors. Korn Ferry provides services to 
the Company’s HR function and the Committee is satisfied that this does not impair its independence. 
Korn Ferry is a signatory to the Code of Conduct for Remuneration Consultants in the UK.
External appointments
Executive Directors are permitted to hold one external directorship, approved by the Board.  
Fees payable may be retained.
David Sleath is a Senior Independent Director of RS Group plc (previously Electrocomponents plc) 
and he received a fee of £82,601 for this role in 2024 (2023: £81,116). 
Soumen Das is a Non-Executive Director of Next plc and he received a fee of £76,195 for his role 
in 2024 (2023: £73,208). 
Payments for loss of office (Audited)
There were no payments for loss of office to Directors during 2024. 
Payments to Former Directors (Audited)
Andy Gulliford retired as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director on 30 June 2023. Full details 
of his exit arrangements are disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report. Andy’s 2021 LTIP award 
vested on 29 March 2024 and in line with previously disclosed exit arrangements, his award was time 
pro-rated and subject to performance conditions. Based on performance over the period, 63.3 per 
cent of the award vested (further details are set out on page 113). As a result, 59,293 shares vested and 
were valued at £575,228 based on the share price on the date of vesting (891.7 pence) and including 
any accrued dividends. In accordance with the rules of the LTIP, he will be required to retain and will 
not be permitted to transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares that have vested under the LTIP for 
a period of two years after the vesting date of each LTIP award. Any dividend equivalents accrued in 
respect of LTIP awards will be pro-rated in line with the level of vesting of the relevant LTIP award and 
will be paid in cash at the end of the holding period. There were no other payments to former 
Directors during the year.

Directors’ Remuneration Policy 
Determining the Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Committee (the Committee) is responsible for the development, implementation 
and review of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy (the Policy). In addressing this responsibility, the 
Committee works with management and external advisers to develop proposals and recommendations. 
The Committee considers the source of information presented to it, takes care to understand the 
detail and ensures that independent judgment is exercised when making decisions. The Remuneration 
Committee works alongside other Board Committees as needed.
The key aim of the Policy is to align the interests of Executive Directors with those of the shareholders 
by supporting the delivery of strategy. The structure of the remuneration framework is designed to 
reflect the strategic direction of the business and to align it with the Company’s Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs). When setting the 2025 Policy, the Committee considered the Company’s strategic 
objectives over both the short and the long term, the external market and market best practice. In 
addition, the Committee also considered the alignment across the business as well as stakeholder 
views. A summary of the conditions for employees across the Group and how stakeholder views are 
taken into account in the 2025 Policy is set out on page 131. 
In order to avoid any conflict of interest, remuneration is managed through well-defined processes 
ensuring that no individual is involved in the decision-making process related to their own remuneration. 
In particular, the remuneration of all Executive Directors is set and approved by the Committee; none 
of the Executive Directors are involved in the determination of their own remuneration arrangements.
Each year, with the support of external advisers, the Committee undertakes a review of the remuneration 
of the Executive Directors. It has oversight of the remuneration of the Leadership team, who are the 
senior managers immediately below Board level, and sets the remuneration of the Group HR Director 
and the Company Secretary. It considers the responsibilities, experience and performance of the 
Executive Directors and pay across the Group.
Changes to the Policy since approval at the 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) are outlined in the 
Chair’s letter on pages 105 to 107 and are detailed to the right. The Committee also has the discretion 
to amend the Policy with regard to minor or administrative matters where it would be, in the opinion 
of the Committee, in the best interests of the Company, and disproportionate to seek or await 
shareholder approval.
Subject to approval by shareholders at the 2025 AGM, this Policy will be effective for the 2025 
performance year and will apply to incentive awards with performance periods beginning on  
1 January 2025. Payments to Directors can only be made if they are consistent with a shareholder 
approved Policy or amendment to the Policy.
Main changes to the Policy
Our Policy is due to be renewed at our AGM in 2025 and so during the course of this year the 
Committee has carried out its triennial review of the Policy. 
The review concluded that our current Policy is working effectively and generally aligned with 
institutional investors’ ‘best practice’ expectations. As a result, we are not proposing structural 
changes to the current arrangements and structures. However, we are proposing a small number 
of amendments to the Policy to ensure that remuneration remains competitive, and the 2025 Policy 
is in line with market practice. In summary, the changes proposed are: 
	– Increasing the maximum annual bonus opportunity from 150 per cent to 200 per cent of salary 
to reflect the change in size and scope of the business.
	– Broadening Remuneration Committee discretion to allow for both upwards and downwards 
adjustments to the formulaic incentive outcomes, in line with market practice.
	– Minor amendments to the Policy to mirror current market and best practice developments including 
simplifying the Policy where necessary and adding minor additional flexibility needed. The key 
changes are highlighted below. 
	–	Pension: The wording in the Policy will be amended to reflect that pension levels for the Executive 
Directors are in line with the majority of the workforce (currently 12 per cent of salary). 
	–	Benefits: the Policy will clarify that the liability to taxation on benefits may also be paid in limited 
circumstances.
	–	Performance measures: we intend to refine our Policy wording to make it clearer that non-financial 
(ESG) measures may be included in the annual bonus and LTIP. While there is no current intention 
to move away from the current performance measures/weightings, we consider it appropriate to 
have the flexibility to do so in our Policy over the next three years. 
	–	Recruitment and termination payments: We have provided further clarity on how remuneration 
elements will be treated in recruitment or termination events (including what happens on a 
change of control).

Element
Strategic purpose
Operation
Maximum potential value
Performance metrics
Salary
To attract and motivate high-calibre 
leaders in a competitive market and to 
recognise their skills, experience
and contribution to Group performance.
The Committee normally reviews 
Executive Directors’ base salaries each 
year in the context of total remuneration, 
taking into account the Directors’ 
responsibilities, experience and 
performance, pay across the Group 
and market competitiveness.
The maximum annual salary increase will not normally 
exceed the average increase which applies across the 
wider workforce. However, larger increases may be 
awarded in certain circumstances including, but not 
limited to: an increase in scope or responsibilities of the 
role; salary progression for a newly appointed Executive 
Director; and where the Executive Director’s salary has 
fallen significantly below the market positioning.
Not applicable.
Pension benefits
To provide a market competitive 
remuneration package.
Retirement benefits are available to all 
UK employees and employees in certain 
Continental European jurisdictions 
dependent on local market practice 
and geographical differences.
Executive Directors are eligible to receive a contribution 
to pension arrangements or cash in lieu. The maximum 
Company pension contribution for an Executive 
Director will be limited to that available to the majority 
of the UK workforce (currently 12 per cent of salary).
None.
Bonus
To focus on the delivery of annual goals, 
to strive for superior performance and 
to achieve specific targets which 
support strategy, in particular for 
income generation, ESG ambitions 
and recurring profit.
Bonuses are awarded annually and paid 
for performance normally over the full 
financial year.
The Bonus is reviewed each financial 
year to ensure performance measures 
and targets are appropriate and support 
the business strategy.
Payment is based on the achievement 
of performance targets.
The Committee has the discretion to 
override formulaic outturns to ensure 
incentive payouts reflect underlying 
business performance, and is aligned 
to shareholder experience. 
The rules of the Bonus contain clawback 
provisions.
The maximum Bonus opportunity for Executive 
Directors is 200 per cent of salary.
At least 50 per cent of the Bonus will be based on 
financial metrics (such as Adjusted PBT and Rent Roll 
Growth). The remainder of the Bonus will be based 
on the achievement of non-financial objectives 
(such as ESG related measures). 
No more than 25 per cent of the relevant portion of 
the annual bonus is payable for achieving threshold 
performance, and no more than 50 per cent is 
payable for meeting target performance, increasing 
on a graduated scale, reaching 100 per cent for 
maximum performance, where the performance 
metric allows for such an approach. For 2025, where 
practical, metrics will include a stretch target, with a 
maximum payout of 90 per cent. The Committee 
retains discretion within Policy to adjust the payout 
schedule in future years for the stretch target as 
needed, considering factors such as the level of 
stretch in the targets or changes in the external 
environment.
Deferred Share Bonus 
Plan (DSBP)
To encourage retention of senior 
managers and provide a long-term link 
between the Bonus and share price 
growth so as to encourage long-term 
decision making.
50 per cent of any Bonus awarded in 
the year is deferred into shares in the 
DSBP for three years before vesting. The 
award does not carry any entitlement to 
dividends, however the Committee 
may, at the time of the release of the 
shares, deliver shares or a cash sum 
equivalent to the value of the dividends 
that would have been paid over the 
three-year holding period. The rules of 
the DSBP contain malus provisions.
For Executive Directors, 50 per cent of the Bonus 
earned in respect of the previous year’s performance.
If it so wished, the Committee could require a higher 
level of deferral.
Vesting of shares is dependent on continued 
employment or good leaver status.

Long Term Incentive Plan 
(LTIP)
To reward the execution of strategy and 
drive long-term returns for shareholders. 
The performance measures are 
selected to align with business strategy. 
The awards are designed to align the 
most senior managers’ goals with the 
creation of sustainable growth in 
shareholder value. The awards will also 
increase retention of these senior 
managers.
LTIP awards may be granted in the form 
of a conditional award or nil-cost option 
in accordance with the rules of the LTIP.
For LTIP awards, dividends will accrue 
on the LTIP shares which are released 
on vesting and will be paid in shares 
or cash.
The Committee has the discretion to 
override formulaic outturns to ensure 
incentive payouts reflect underlying 
business performance, and is aligned 
to shareholder experience. 
The rules of the LTIP contain malus and 
clawback provisions.
Maximum 300 per cent of salary in performance shares.
If grants are to exceed 250 per cent of salary for 
Executive Directors other than the Chief Executive, 
prior consultation with shareholders will take place first.
LTIP awards are subject to stretching performance 
conditions, which are normally measured over a 
three-year performance period. A two-year 
compulsory holding period applies to these LTIP 
shares after vesting and subject to payment of tax 
and statutory deductions.
Awards will be subject to a combination of long-term 
measures which are aligned to the shareholder 
experience and may include shareholder value 
metrics (such as Total Shareholder Return), financial 
metrics (such as Total Property Return and Total 
Accounting Return) and ESG or strategic measures. 
At least two-thirds of the award will be subject to 
financial and/or shareholder return measures. 
The Committee will have discretion to set different 
measures and weightings for awards in future years 
to best support the strategy of the business at 
that time.
Threshold performance will result in vesting of no 
more than 20 per cent of the relevant portion of the 
LTIP (where the nature of the performance metric 
allows such an approach).
Sharesave
To provide a market competitive 
remuneration package and to 
encourage employee share ownership 
across the Group.
Sharesave is a HMRC approved scheme 
open to all eligible UK employees. 
Savings can be made over a three-year 
period to purchase shares in the 
Company at a price which is set at 
the beginning of the savings period. 
This price is usually set at a 20 per cent 
discount to the market price.
Employees may save up to the HMRC limit across all 
Sharesave grants.
None.
Share Incentive Plan (SIP) 
and Global Share 
Incentive Plan (GSIP)
To provide a market competitive 
remuneration package and to 
encourage employee share ownership 
across the Group.
SIP is a HMRC approved scheme open 
to all eligible UK employees, subject to 
service. Eligible employees are awarded 
shares annually up to the HMRC limits. 
GSIP is designed on a similar basis to 
SIP, but is not HMRC approved and is 
operated for non-UK employees.
The maximum award is subject to the HMRC limit.
Award may be based on achievement of a target and 
is subject to a three-year holding period.

Additional notes
Remuneration Policy: the Policy for the Executive Directors is designed with regard to the pay and benefits for employees across the Group. Currently all employees are eligible for an annual Bonus on the 
same performance measures which are consistent with those of the Executive Directors, save that those below Board level have a fourth target based on their personal performance. The maximum Bonus 
opportunity is fixed according to seniority banding across the Company. Currently, the LTIP performance conditions are the same for all participants and the size of awards are determined by seniority.
The Committee retains certain discretions in respect of the operation and administration of the incentive plans under their rules, in addition to the discretions described elsewhere in the Policy.
Subject to consultation with major shareholders, the Committee retains the ability to adjust and/or to set different LTIP and Bonus performance measures if events occur (such as a change in strategy, 
a material acquisition and/or divestment of a Group business, or change in prevailing market conditions) which cause the Committee to determine that the measures are no longer appropriate and that 
amendment is required so that they achieve their original purpose.
Payments from existing awards: Executive Directors are eligible to receive payment from any award made prior to the approval. Any outstanding share awards made in accordance with a previous 
Remuneration Policy will remain in effect and will vest in accordance with the terms under which they were granted.
All historical share awards and bonus arrangements that were granted under any current or previous incentive schemes operated by the Company and remain outstanding remain eligible to vest/payout 
based on their original terms.

	– fraud or serious misconduct on the part of the participant;
	– a serious misstatement in the Company’s financial results;
	– an error in assessing performance conditions, resulting in an overpayment;
	– when Company performance was achieved as a result of excessive risk taking;
	– serious reputational damage; or
	– corporate failure.

Incentive plan discretions
The Remuneration Committee can exercise discretion in a number of areas when operating the 
Company’s incentive schemes, in line with the relevant rules of the schemes. These include (but are 
not limited to):
	– the choice of participants; 
	– the size of awards in any year (subject to the limits set out in the Directors’ Remuneration Policy 
table);
	– the extent of payments or vesting in light of the achievement of the relevant performance 
conditions;
	– the determination of good or bad leavers and the treatment of outstanding awards (subject to the 
provisions of the scheme rules and the Remuneration Policy provisions); and
	– the treatment of outstanding awards in the event of a change of control.
In addition, if events occur which cause the Remuneration Committee to conclude that any 
performance condition is no longer appropriate, that condition may be substituted, varied or waived 
as is considered reasonable in the circumstances in order to produce a fairer measure of performance 
that is not materially less difficult to satisfy.
Choice of performance measures for 2025 and approaches to target setting
The performance measures used in the incentives are aligned with the Company’s KPIs and the 
business strategy.
The annual bonus plan performance metrics include a mix of financial targets and non-financial 
objectives, reflecting the key annual priorities of the Company. The financial metrics determine at 
least half the bonus and may include Adjusted PBT against budget, which supports the objective of 
delivering a sustainable, progressive dividend; and rent roll growth which focuses on driving the future 
rental income of the business. The remainder of the bonus will be based on non-financial measures, 
for example ESG metrics.
LTIP awards will be subject to a combination of long-term measures which are aligned to the 
shareholder experience and may include shareholder value metrics (such as Total Shareholder 
Return), financial metrics (such as Total Property Return and Total Accounting Return) and ESG 
or strategic measures. 
Performance measures for 2025 will be in line with the approach in 2024. The annual bonus will be 
based on Adjusted PBT (37.5 per cent), Rent Roll Growth (37.5 per cent) and ESG targets (25 per cent). 
The LTIP will be subject to relative Total Shareholder Return (33 per cent), relative Total Property Return 
(33 per cent) and relative Total Accounting Return (33 per cent). Further details are set out on page 109.
Targets for incentive plans are set to be stretching but achievable, taking into account internal and 
external reference points, including internal forecasts and market consensus.
Policy on recruitment
In determining appropriate remuneration for a new Executive Director, the Committee will take into 
consideration all relevant factors to ensure that arrangements are in the best interests of both the 
Company and its shareholders. The Committee may make an additional cash and/or share based 
award in respect of a new appointment to ‘buy out’ incentive arrangements forfeited on leaving a 
previous employer. In doing so, the Committee will take account of relevant factors, including any 
performance conditions attached to these awards, the likelihood of those conditions being met, and 
the proportion of the vesting period remaining, and will seek to do no more than match the fair value 
of awards foregone. In limited circumstances where employees are awarded benefits for which 
Executive Directors are not eligible, such as share retention awards, the Committee would consider 
honouring existing awards should these employees be appointed to the Board or where an individual 
is not an Executive Director but still falls within this Policy.

Change of control 
On a change of control, Executive Directors’ incentive awards will be treated in accordance with the 
rules of the relevant plans. In summary:
	– Bonus: Bonus in the year of a change of control may be paid based on the Committee’s assessment of 
performance and, the Committee has the discretion to determine whether or not to pro-rate for the 
portion of the year elapsed prior to the change of control. DSBP awards would normally vest in full. 
When assessing performance on a change of control, the Committee can determine performance 
on such reasonable basis as it considers appropriate, having regard to all of the circumstances. 
	– LTIP: The rules provide that in the event of a change of control, outstanding share-based awards 
may vest to the extent that the Committee determines that performance targets are met shortly 
before the date of the event. Unless the Committee determines that pro-rating would be 
inappropriate in the circumstances, awards will be pro-rated for time. There is discretion to increase 
the level of vesting if the Committee believes that exceptional circumstances warrant such 
treatment. One or more of the performance criteria may be replaced, or the extent to which targets 
have been met may be determined on a different basis.
	– In each case, the Committee is the Remuneration Committee shortly before the change of control 
takes place.
Policy on termination payments
The Company retains the right to terminate the service contract of any Executive Director subject to 
contractually agreed payments in lieu of notice which are limited to annual salary plus any specified 
benefits. Payments are normally phased over the 12-month notice period, based on the principle of 
a Director’s duty to seek alternative employment and thereby mitigate their loss.
The Committee reserves the right to make additional exit payments where such payments are made 
in good faith, for example: in discharge of an existing legal obligation (or by way of damages for 
breach of such an obligation); or by way of settlement or compromise of any claim arising in 
connection with the termination of a Director’s office or employment. In determining compensation, 
the Committee will take into account the circumstances of the departure, best practice and the 
provisions of the Code, and will take legal advice on the Company’s liability to pay compensation.
For the proportion of the financial year worked, a bonus may be payable pro-rata, subject to 
performance, at the discretion of the Committee. There will be no bonus payment in respect of any 
period of notice not worked.
Under the rules of the LTIP and the DSBP, the Committee has discretion to declare a Director leaving 
the Company to be a ‘good leaver’ as defined under the respective rules of the schemes in addition to 
certain prescribed reasons (for example if they leave the Company due to ill health, injury or disability 
or retirement). In respect of LTIP, this would normally mean that awards would vest on the normal 
vesting date, subject to the achievement of performance conditions, with any vesting normally 
pro-rated in accordance with the proportion of the vesting period served. The holding period would 
normally apply post vesting. 
In respect of the DSBP, Executive Directors who are good leavers and are recipients of awards would 
normally receive some or all of their shares at the end of the holding period.
Where a Director may be entitled to pursue a claim against the Company in respect of their statutory 
employment rights or any other claim arising from the employment or its termination, the Company 
will be entitled to negotiate settlement terms (financial or otherwise) with the Director that the 
Committee considers to be reasonable in all the circumstances and in the best interests of the 
Company and to enter into a settlement agreement with the Director to effect both the terms agreed 
under the service agreement and any additional statutory or other claims, including bonus and/or 
share awards, in line with the policies described above.
The Committee may also provide a contribution towards reasonable legal costs and the provision 
of outplacement services for an Executive Director leaving the Company.
Where a Director retires, the Committee may provide a retirement gift of such value as is 
considered reasonable. 
Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to any compensation on loss of office.

Policy on Executive Directors’ external appointments
With the support of the Chair and Chief Executive, the Executive Directors may normally be 
permitted to take one non-executive directorship outside the Group, as these roles can broaden 
the experience brought to the Board. Such appointments require Board approval and the time 
commitment the appointment will require is taken into consideration. Executive Directors may retain 
fees for external appointments.

Consideration of conditions elsewhere in the Group
The Remuneration Policy for the Executive Directors is designed with regard to the policy for the 
workforce as a whole. The remuneration approach is consistently applied at levels below the 
Executive Directors. Key features include:
	– employees are eligible for an annual bonus and the performance measures are broadly consistent 
across the business. 
	– at senior levels, remuneration is increasingly long-term and ‘at risk’ with an increased emphasis on 
performance related pay and share based remuneration.
	– remuneration is regularly benchmarked across the Group.
	– the level of pension allowance is aligned with the majority of the UK workforce (currently 12 per cent 
of salary). 
	– all eligible UK employees are invited to join the Sharesave scheme and are eligible to receive an 
award under the SIP. The Committee also approves the remuneration of the Executive Committee 
and other senior executives. The Committee receives updates throughout the year to consider the 
framework and policies in place for workforce remuneration to ensure their alignment with 
Executive remuneration and Company culture. The Committee also approves the budget for annual 
salary increases across the workforce. 
Each year, the Non-Executive Directors hold a series of informal engagement sessions with 
employees from across the business to hear first-hand how they feel about working at SEGRO. 
This includes a session which covers Executive remuneration to outline the Executive remuneration 
framework and to answer any questions and receive feedback from employees. This is further 
detailed in the case study on page 117. 
Consideration of shareholder views
The Committee remains committed to open dialogue with shareholders on remuneration. When 
determining remuneration, the Committee takes into account investor and proxy guidance, and the 
views of shareholders. In 2024, it undertook a dedicated consultation process to offer meetings with 
the Committee Chair to discuss the proposed changes to the 2022 Policy and to offer the opportunity 
to provide feedback, as covered in the Chair’s letter on pages 105 to 107. The Committee engaged 
with our largest 20 investors representing approximately 60 per cent of the share register and based 
on the feedback received, there were no immediate concerns raised with regards to the proposed 
changes to the 2022 Policy and as a result no amendments were required to the proposed 2025 Policy.
The Chair of the Remuneration Committee is available for meetings with shareholders should they 
have any concerns about remuneration matters which they wish to discuss. Please contact 
companysecretariat.mailbox@SEGRO.com for further information.

Modern Slavery and Human Rights 
SEGRO operates a Human Rights Policy which brings together a number of our existing policies 
that relate to human rights such as our Modern Slavery and Labour Standards Supplier Code, and 
Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy. Copies of our policies that relate to human rights can be 
found on our website www.SEGRO.com.
The Company publishes an annual Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement in compliance 
with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Board approved the latest statement in June 2024 and it 
can be found on our website at www.SEGRO.com/modern-slavery.
Modern slavery awareness posters, which contain information on key signs of modern slavery, how 
and where to access help, and details of our whistleblowing reporting service are displayed on SEGRO 
development sites and in all our offices. We also deliver targeted modern slavery awareness training to 
certain employees and teams who should receive further training due to the nature of their role. In 
particular, teams which deal with suppliers, visit sites and meet contractors more regularly are best 
placed to more effectively uncover potential instances of modern slavery and human trafficking. In 
addition, all employees have completed mandatory online training on modern slavery.
Any employee who breaches our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy or Human Rights Policy 
will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct. 
We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations working 
on our behalf if they do not comply with our Modern Slavery and Labour Standards Supplier Code.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with 
applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. Under 
that law the Directors have prepared the Group Financial Statements in accordance with UK-adopted 
international accounting standards and the Company Financial Statements in accordance with 
United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 
comprising FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”, and applicable law).
The Group has also prepared Financial Statements in accordance with international financial reporting 
standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union. 
Under company law, Directors must not approve the Financial Statements unless they are satisfied 
that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of the profit or 
loss of the Group for that period. In preparing the Financial Statements the Directors are required to:
	– select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
	– state whether applicable UK-adopted international accounting standards and international financial 
reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the 
European Union have been followed for the Group Financial Statements and United Kingdom 
Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 have been followed for the Company Financial 
Statements, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
	– make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
	– prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume 
that the Group and Company will continue in business.
The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence 
for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and 
explain the Group’s and Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time 
the financial position of the Group and Company and enable them to ensure that the Financial 
Statements and the Directors’ Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act 2006.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Company’s website. Legislation 
in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of Financial Statements may 
differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Directors’ confirmations
The Directors consider that the Annual Report and Accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and 
understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group’s and 
Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy.
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in the Governance section of the Annual 
Report confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
	– the Group Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted 
international accounting standards and international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant 
to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union, give a true and fair view of the 
assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group; 
	– the Company Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom 
Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and 
financial position of the Company; and
	– the Strategic Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business 
and the position of the Group and Company, together with a description of the principal risks and 
uncertainties that it faces.

Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion:
	– SEGRO plc’s group financial statements and company financial statements (the “financial statements”) 
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 
2024 and of the group’s profit and the group’s cash flows for the year then ended;
	– the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international 
accounting standards as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006;
	– the company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United 
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 
including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”, and applicable law); and
	– the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report & Accounts 2024 (the 
“Annual Report”), which comprise: the Group and Company Balance Sheets as at 31 December 2024; 
the Group Income Statement and the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group Cash 
Flow Statement, and the Group and Company Statements of Changes in Equity for the year then 
ended; and the notes to the financial statements comprising material accounting policy information 
and other explanatory information.
Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.
Separate opinion in relation to international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant 
to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union
As explained in note 1 to the financial statements, the group, in addition to applying UK-adopted 
international accounting standards, has also applied international financial reporting standards 
adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.
In our opinion, the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with 
international financial reporting standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as 
it applies in the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”), 
International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards 
Board (“ISAs”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) and ISAs are further 
described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our 
report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant 
to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, as 
applicable to listed public interest entities, and the International Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics 
Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 
in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services prohibited by either the 
FRC’s Ethical Standard or Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.
Other than those disclosed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements, we have provided no non-audit 
services to the company or its controlled undertakings in the period under audit.
Our audit approach
Overview
Audit scope
	– We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
	– Audit procedures on Rental Income and Valuation of Investment Properties are performed centrally 
by the group audit team in the UK.
	– Full scope audit of SEGRO European Logistics Partnership (SELP) Joint Venture by component 
auditors and full scope audit of SEGRO plc by the group audit team in the UK.
	– In addition, component auditors performed the audit of specific balances and transactions in 
certain territories.
	– Over 95% coverage of total assets of the group
Key audit matters
	– Valuation of investment properties (group)
	– Valuation of investments in and loans to subsidiaries (parent)
Materiality
	– Overall group materiality: £175 million (2023: £173 million) based on 1% of total assets.
	– Specific group materiality: £23 million (2023: £20 million) based on 5% of the group’s adjusted profit 
before tax.
	– Overall company materiality: £122 million (2023: £118 million) based on 1% of total assets.
	– Performance materiality: £132 million (2023: £130 million) (group) and £92 million (2023: £89 million) 
(company).
The scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material 
misstatement in the financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional judgement, were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most 
significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by the 
auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation 
of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any 
comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.
The key audit matters below are consistent with last year.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties (group)
Refer to the Audit Committee Report and the Financial 
Statements (including notes to the Financial Statements; Note 1, 
Material Accounting Policy Information; Note 13, Investment 
Properties; and Note 25. Property Valuation Techniques, 
Sustainability and Climate Change Considerations and Related 
Quantitative Information). 
We focussed on the valuation of investment properties because 
investment properties represent the principal element of the net 
asset value as disclosed in the Balance Sheet in the financial 
statements and is an area of significant estimation uncertainty. 
The portfolio is held by the group, and through joint ventures 
and includes warehouses and light industrial buildings, including 
data centres. These are concentrated in the UK, France, 
Germany and Italy. The remainder of the portfolio is located 
across other European countries including Poland, Spain, the 
Netherlands and the Czech Republic. 
The portfolio includes completed investment properties and 
development properties. 
The valuation of the group’s portfolio is inherently subjective due 
to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, 
its location and the expected future rentals for that particular 
property. The significance of the estimates and judgements 
involved, coupled with the fact that only a small percentage 
difference in individual property valuations, when aggregated, 
could result in a material misstatement, warranted specific audit 
focus in this area. For development sites, factors include 
projected costs to complete, time until practical completion and 
the ability to let if no pre-let agreement is in place.
Valuations are carried out by third party valuers CBRE (the 
‘Valuers’). The Valuers were engaged by the Directors, and 
performed their work in accordance with the Royal Institution of 
Chartered Surveyors (‘RICS’) Valuation – Global Standards 2024. 
The valuations take into account the property-specific information 
including the current tenancy agreements and rental income, 
condition and location of the property, and future rental prospects, 
as well as prevailing market yields and market transactions. 
Given the inherent subjectivity involved in the valuation of investment properties, the need for deep market knowledge when 
determining the most appropriate assumptions, and the technicalities of the valuation methodology, we engaged our internal valuation 
experts (qualified chartered surveyors) to assist us in our audit of this matter. 
Assessing the group’s external Valuers’ expertise and objectivity 
We assessed the Valuers’ qualifications and expertise and read their terms of engagement with the group to determine whether there 
were any matters that might have affected their objectivity or may have imposed scope limitations upon their work. We also considered 
fees and other contractual arrangements that might exist between the group and the Valuers. We found no evidence to suggest that 
the objectivity of the Valuers was compromised. 
Testing the valuations assumptions and capital movement: 
We obtained and read the CBRE valuation reports covering all of the group’s investment properties. We held meetings with 
management and the Valuers, at which the valuations and the key assumptions therein were discussed. We focused on outliers 
(where the assumptions used and/or year on year capital value movement were out of line with our range of assumptions developed 
using externally published market data for the relevant sector). To verify that the valuation approach was suitable for use in determining 
the carrying value for investment properties in the Financial Statements, we: 
	– Confirmed that the valuation approach was in accordance with RICS standards; 
	– Obtained valuation details of every property held by the group and developed ranges for each key valuation assumption or capital 
value movement, determined by reference to published benchmarks and using our experience and knowledge of the market. 
Compared the investment yields used by the Valuers with the expected range of yields and the year on year capital movement to 
our expected range;
	– Assessed the reasonableness of other assumptions that are not readily comparable with published benchmarks;
	– With the support of our internal valuation experts, we also questioned the external valuers as to the extent to which recent market 
transactions and expected rental values used in deriving their valuations took into account the impact of climate change and related 
ESG considerations; and
	– Verified where there could be alternative use opportunities, that this had been appropriately taken into account.  
In addition to the above, where assumptions were outside the expected range or otherwise appeared unusual, and/or valuations 
showed unexpected movements, we undertook further investigations and, when necessary, held further discussions with the Valuers 
and obtained evidence to support explanations received. The supporting evidence and valuation commentaries provided by the 
Valuers, enabled us to consider the property specific factors that had or may have had an impact on value, including recent 
comparable transactions where appropriate. 
Information and standing data 
We agreed the amounts per the valuation reports to the accounting records and from there we agreed the related balances through 
to the Financial Statements. We tested the standing data which the group provided to the Valuers for use in the performance of the 
valuation. This involved testing controls on a sample basis over the input of lease data for leases and testing the accuracy of lease and 
other property information. For development properties, we also confirmed that the supporting information for construction contracts 
and budgets was consistent with the group’s records, for example by inspecting construction contracts. For development properties, 
capitalised expenditure was tested on a sample basis to invoices, and budgeted costs to complete were compared with supporting 
evidence (for example construction contracts) to support the inputs included within their valuation at the year end. 
Overall outcome 
We concluded that the assumptions used in the valuations by the Valuers were supportable in light of the evidence obtained.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investments in and loans to subsidiaries (parent)
Refer to note 7 (Investments by the Company) to the financial 
statements which discloses the company’s investments in and 
loans to subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024. This is following 
the recognition of a provision for impairment on investments in 
and loans to subsidiaries recognised in the year. The company’s 
accounting policy for investments and loans is to hold them at 
cost less any impairment. Impairment of the loans is calculated 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 9 
(Financial Instruments). Investments in subsidiaries are assessed 
for impairment in line with International Accounting Standard 36 
(Impairment of Assets). Given the inherent judgement in 
assessing both the carrying value of a subsidiary company and 
the expected credit loss of intercompany loan receivables, this 
was identified as a key audit matter.
We assessed the accounting policy for investments and loans to subsidiaries to ensure they were compliant with the applicable 
accounting standards. We obtained the directors’ impairment assessment for the recoverability of investments in and loans to 
subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024. We verified that the methodology used by the directors in arriving at the carrying value of each 
subsidiary, and the expected credit loss provision for intercompany receivables, was compliant with applicable accounting standards. 
We identified the key estimate within the assessment for impairment of both the investments and loans to subsidiaries to be the 
underlying valuation of investment property held by the subsidiaries. For details of our procedures over investment property valuations 
please refer to the group key audit matter above. 
We have no matters to report in respect of this work.
How we tailored the audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the group and the 
company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which they operate.
The group’s reportable segments are the two property businesses: United Kingdom (UK) and 
Continental Europe (CE). In establishing the overall approach to the group audit, we determined the 
type of work that needed to be performed at reporting components, based on regions and countries 
within the UK and CE, by us, as the group engagement team, or component auditors operating under 
our instruction.
The group operates a common IT environment, processes and controls for rental income and payroll 
across its reported segments. The group’s valuation and treasury functions are also based at the 
corporate centre in the UK. The related balances were therefore largely audited by the group audit 
team in the UK. Additionally, audits of specific balances and specified procedures were performed by 
component audit teams, such that the total testing programme provided sufficient audit evidence 
over all financial statement line items. The SELP Joint Venture was included as being in scope for a full 
scope audit. As noted above, the work on rental income and valuation of investment properties for 
the Joint Venture was performed by the group audit team.
We determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the component auditor’s work to be 
able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our 
opinion on the group financial statements as a whole. We issued formal, written instructions to the 
component auditors setting out the work to be performed by each of them. Throughout the audit 
process, the group audit team has been in close contact with the audit teams on location in each 
region to oversee the audit process. Senior team members also attended the clearance meetings for 
each component. During the clearance meetings, the results of the work performed by all component 
teams were discussed. The group engagement team also evaluated the sufficiency of the audit 
evidence obtained by component teams. Taking into account the components and Joint Ventures 
subject to a full scope audit, the centralised and other testing performed, coverage over the total 
assets of the group was over 95%.
In respect of the company financial statements, the group audit team performed a full scope 
statutory audit.
The impact of climate risk on our audit
In planning our audit, we made enquiries with management to understand the extent of the potential 
impact of climate change risk on the financial statements. Our evaluation of this conclusion included 
challenging key judgements and estimates in areas where we considered that there was greatest 
potential for climate change impact. We particularly considered how climate change risks would 
impact the assumptions made in the valuation of investment properties as explained in our key audit 
matter above. We also considered the consistency of the disclosures in relation to climate change 
made within the Annual Report, the financial statements and the knowledge obtained from our audit.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative 
thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the 
scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial 
statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually 
and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a 
whole as follows:
Financial statements – group
Financial statements – company
Overall materiality
£175 million (2023: £173 million).
£122 million (2023: £118 million).
How we determined it
1% of total assets
1% of total assets
Rationale for benchmark applied
The primary measurement attribute 
of the group is the carrying value of 
property investments. On this basis, 
we set an overall group materiality 
level based on total assets.
The primary measurement 
attribute of the company is the 
carrying value of investments in 
subsidiaries. On this basis, we set 
an overall company materiality 
level based on total assets.

In addition to overall group materiality, a specific materiality was also applied to group Income
Statement line items that impact adjusted earnings, which is based on profit before tax,
adjusted to exclude fair value gain/(losses) on investment property and derivatives and impairment 
loss on loan due from associate. We set a specific materiality level of £23 million (2023: £20 million), 
equating to 5% of adjusted profit before tax.
For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a materiality that is less than 
our overall group materiality. The range of materiality allocated across components was between 
£36 million and £130 million. Certain components were audited to a local statutory audit materiality 
that was also less than our overall group materiality.
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the 
aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, 
we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature and extent of 
our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining 
sample sizes. Our performance materiality was 75% (2023: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to 
£132 million (2023: £130 million) for the group financial statements and £92 million (2023: £89 million) 
for the company financial statements.
In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors – the history of 
misstatements, risk assessment and aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls – and 
concluded that an amount at the upper end of our normal range was appropriate.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified 
during our audit above £9 million (group audit) (2023: £9 million) and £6 million (company audit) 
(2023: £5 million) as well as misstatements below those amounts that, in our view, warranted 
reporting for qualitative reasons.
Conclusions relating to going concern
Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group’s and the company’s ability to continue 
to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
	– Procedures to identify events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue 
as a going concern and whether or not a material uncertainty related to going concern exists;
	– Obtaining the Directors’ assessment of going concern and assessing the impact and the basis for 
the downside stress scenarios that have been applied;
	– Tested the integrity of the underlying formulas and calculations within the going concern and 
cashflow models;
	– Evaluation and corroboration of management’s significant assumptions used to assess going 
concern. This includes upcoming debt maturities, contracted capital expenditure and operational 
cash flows, and whether or not they are appropriate in the context of changes from prior periods 
and align with our understanding of the entity and other relevant areas of the entity’s business activities;
	– Review of potential financial or non-financial debt covenant defaults leading to acceleration of 
repayment of borrowing facilities; and
	– Assessing the group and company’s liquidity and whether the entity has adequately disclosed all 
required going concern events and conditions.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to 
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s and the 
company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the 
financial statements are authorised for issue.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern 
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a 
guarantee as to the group’s and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In relation to the directors’ reporting on how they have applied the UK Corporate Governance Code, 
we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in the 
financial statements about whether the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going 
concern basis of accounting.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are 
described in the relevant sections of this report.

Reporting on other information
The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial 
statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do 
not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form 
of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 
If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform 
procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a 
material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude 
that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 
We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic report and Directors’ Report, we also considered whether the disclosures 
required by the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also 
to report certain opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic report and Directors’ Report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the 
Strategic report and Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 is consistent with the 
financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and company and their environment 
obtained in the course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic 
report and Directors’ Report.
Directors’ Remuneration
In our opinion, the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly 
prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Corporate governance statement
The Listing Rules require us to review the directors’ statements in relation to going concern, 
longer-term viability and that part of the corporate governance statement relating to the company’s 
compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review. 
Our additional responsibilities with respect to the corporate governance statement as other information 
are described in the Reporting on other information section of this report.
Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following 
elements of the corporate governance statement is materially consistent with the financial statements 
and our knowledge obtained during the audit, and we have nothing material to add or draw attention 
to in relation to:
	– The directors’ confirmation that they have carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and 
principal risks;
	– The disclosures in the Annual Report that describe those principal risks, what procedures are in 
place to identify emerging risks and an explanation of how these are being managed or mitigated;
	– The directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether they considered it appropriate 
to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing them, and their identification of any 
material uncertainties to the group’s and company’s ability to continue to do so over a period of at 
least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements;
	– The directors’ explanation as to their assessment of the group’s and company’s prospects, the period 
this assessment covers and why the period is appropriate; and
	– The directors’ statement as to whether they have a reasonable expectation that the company will be 
able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of its assessment, 
including any related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary qualifications or assumptions.
Our review of the directors’ statement regarding the longer-term viability of the group and company 
was substantially less in scope than an audit and only consisted of making inquiries and considering 
the directors’ process supporting their statement; checking that the statement is in alignment with the 
relevant provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code; and considering whether the statement is 
consistent with the financial statements and our knowledge and understanding of the group and 
company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit.
In addition, based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the 
following elements of the corporate governance statement is materially consistent with the financial 
statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit:
	– The directors’ statement that they consider the Annual Report, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and 
understandable, and provides the information necessary for the members to assess the group’s and 
company’s position, performance, business model and strategy;
	– The section of the Annual Report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and 
internal control systems; and
	– The section of the Annual Report describing the work of the Audit Committee.
We have nothing to report in respect of our responsibility to report when the directors’ statement 
relating to the company’s compliance with the Code does not properly disclose a departure from 
a relevant provision of the Code specified under the Listing Rules for review by the auditors.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the Financial 
Statements, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance 
with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors 
are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation 
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the 
company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate 
the group or the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually 
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users 
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design 
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in 
respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting 
irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of 
non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with the Real Estate Investment 
Trust (REIT) status and SIIC regime and the UK regulatory principles, such as those governed by the 
Financial Conduct Authority, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have 
a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that 
have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated 
management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements 
(including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to 
posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue, and management bias in accounting 
estimates and judgemental areas of the Financial Statements such as valuation of investment 
properties. The group engagement team shared this risk assessment with the component auditors 
so that they could include appropriate audit procedures in response to such risks in their work. 
Audit procedures performed by the group engagement team and/or component auditors included:
	– Discussions with management and internal audit, including consideration of known or suspected 
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud, and review of the reports made 
by internal audit;
	– Understanding management’s internal controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
	– Assessment of matters, if any, reported on the group’s whistleblowing helpline and the results 
of management’s investigation of such matters;
	– Reviewing the group’s litigation register in so far as it related to non-compliance with laws and 
regulations and fraud;
	– Reviewing relevant meeting minutes, including those of the Board of Directors and the Audit 
Committee;
	– Designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing and extent 
of our testing;
	– Review of tax compliance with the involvement of our tax specialists in the audit;
	– 	Procedures relating to the valuation of investment properties described in the related key audit 
matter above; and
	– 	Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account 
combinations.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become 
aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events 
and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud 
may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or 
through collusion.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, 
possibly using data auditing techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of 
items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek to target particular items 
for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to 
enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements in accordance with 
ISAs (UK) is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description 
forms part of our auditors’ report.

Independent auditors’ report to the members of SEGRO plc continued
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
	– Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control.
	– Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the group’s and company’s internal control.
	– Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
	– Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s and company’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in 
our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such 
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence 
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the 
group to cease to continue as a going concern.
	– Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, 
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the 
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
	– Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the group and company to express an opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 
group and company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned 
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in 
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with 
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all 
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters 
that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current 
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report 
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication.
Use of this report
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a 
body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. 
We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any 
other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly 
agreed by our prior consent in writing.
Other required reporting
Companies Act 2006 exception reporting
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
	– we have not obtained all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
	– adequate accounting records have not been kept by the company, or returns adequate for our audit 
have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
	– certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
	– 	the company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited 
are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.
Appointment
Following the recommendation of the Audit Committee, we were appointed by the members on 
22 April 2016 to audit the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 and subsequent 
financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted engagement is nine years, covering the years 
ended 31 December 2016 to 31 December 2024.
Other matter
The company is required by the Financial Conduct Authority Disclosure Guidance and Transparency 
Rules to include these financial statements in an annual financial report prepared under the structured 
digital format required by DTR 4.1.15R – 4.1.18R and filed on the National Storage Mechanism of the 
Financial Conduct Authority. This auditors’ report provides no assurance over whether the structured 
digital format annual financial report has been prepared in accordance with those requirements.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As discussed in the Financial 
review on page 46, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group have 
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the 
date of approval of the Financial Statements. At 31 December 2024 the Group held cash and available 
committed facilities of £1.7 billion (Company: £1.7 billion) with a long-dated debt maturity profile. 
This provides significant liquidity to meet the Group’s and Company’s refinancing requirements of 
maturing debt, operational requirements and capital commitments for the foreseeable future. The 
financial covenants have been stress tested and substantial headroom exists against the gearing and 
interest cover covenants at 31 December 2024 and the covenants are not expected to be breached 
for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements.
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the 
revaluation of properties and certain financial assets and liabilities including derivatives.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all 
periods presented in these Group and Company Financial Statements.
New and amended standards adopted
The Group and Company has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for 
their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2024:
	– Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’, on classification of liabilities
	– Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases on sale and leaseback
	– Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: 
Supplier Finance Arrangements
The amendments did not have a material impact on the amounts recognised in the prior or current 
period and are not expected to significantly affect future periods. 
New standards and amendments not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after 
1 January 2024, and have not been applied in preparing these Financial Statements:
	– Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
	– Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
	– IFRS 19, ‘Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’
	– IFRS 18, ‘Presentation and disclosure in financial statements’
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements and effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items 
in the financial statements, but its impacts on presentation and disclosure is expected to be material. 
Management is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the 
Group’s consolidated financial statements.
The other standards and amendments that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material 
impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on the foreseeable future transactions.
1. Material Accounting Policy Information
General information
SEGRO plc (the Company) is a public limited company, limited by shares, incorporated, domiciled and 
registered in England in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act. The address of the registered 
office is given on the inside back cover.
The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the nature of the Group’s 
operations are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 2.
These Financial Statements are presented in pounds sterling to the nearest million because that is the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates and is the functional 
currency of the Company. 
Basis of preparation
The Group Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International 
Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted pursuant 
to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union. UK adopted International 
Accounting Standards differs in certain respects from International Financial Reporting Standards 
as adopted by the EU. The differences have no material impact on the Financial Statements for the 
periods presented, which therefore also comply with International Reporting Standards as adopted 
by the EU. In addition, the Group has also disclosed additional measures relating to the Best Practice 
Recommendations Guidelines issued by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) as 
appropriate, as discussed further in Note 2 and Note 12.
The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting 
Standard 101 Reduced disclosure Framework (FRS 101) and the requirements of the Companies 
Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. Previously the Company 
Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted IAS and transitioning to FRS 101 
for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company has made no measurement and recognition 
adjustments. The Directors have taken advantage of the exemption offered by section 408 of the 
Companies Act 2006 not to present a separate income statement and statement of comprehensive 
income for the Company.
In these Financial Statements, the Company has applied the exemptions under FRS 101 in respect 
of the following disclosures:
	– IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ and related notes
	– Disclosure in respect of transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries
	– The effects of new but not yet effective IFRSs
	– Paragraph 17 of IAS 24 ‘Related Party Disclosures’
As the Group financial statements include the equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the 
exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of the following disclosures:
	– The requirements of paragraphs 91–99 of IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ to disclose information 
of fair value valuation techniques and inputs
	– Disclosures required by IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Company and 
the Subsidiaries (‘the Group’), plus the Group’s share of the results and net assets of its joint ventures 
and associates.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, 
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration 
potential voting rights. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. 
The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from 
the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-
controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so 
causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Investments and loans in subsidiaries held by the Company
Investments and loans in subsidiaries held by the Company are stated at cost less any impairment. 
Impairment of loans is calculated in accordance with IFRS 9 and impairment of investments is 
calculated in accordance with IAS 36 with further details provided in Note 7(iv). 
Joint ventures
A joint venture is a contract under which the Group and other parties undertake an activity or invest in 
an entity, under joint control. The Group uses equity accounting for such entities, carrying its investment 
at cost plus the movement in the Group’s share of net assets after acquisition, less impairment.
Associates 
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint 
control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20 per cent and 50 per cent of the 
voting rights. The Group uses equity accounting for such entities, carrying its investment at cost plus 
the movement in the Group’s share of net assets after acquisition, less impairment.
Where the Group’s share of losses in an equity accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest 
in the entity, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made 
payments on behalf of the other entity. 
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from 
intra-Group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-
accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the 
investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent 
that there is no evidence of impairment on the asset transferred.
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition 
is measured at the aggregate of the fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and 
equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related 
costs are recognised in the Income Statement as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities 
and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognised at their 
fair value at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified 
as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 ‘Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued 
Operations’, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset measured at cost, being the excess of the 
cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the 
net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost 
of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.
The interest of non-controlling interest shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at their 
proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes a contingent 
consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. 
Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments 
are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period 
adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement 
period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that 
existed at the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent 
reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being 
recognised in the Income Statement.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s 
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any 
gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in the Income Statement within 
realised and unrealised property gains and losses. The same treatment is applied for acquisitions of 
a subsidiary achieved in stages that meet the IFRS 3 concentration test to be treated as an asset 
acquisition.
For acquisitions of a subsidiary that meet the IFRS 3 concentration test to be treated as an asset 
acquisition, the Group allocates the cost between the individual identifiable assets and liabilities in the 
Group based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such transactions do not give rise 
to goodwill, generally no deferred tax is recognised on initial temporary differences and transaction 
costs are capitalised. The Group has elected to initially measure the interest of non-controlling interest 
shareholders in the acquiree at their proportion of the acquisition date net fair value of the assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
Property acquisitions and disposals
Properties are treated as acquired at the point when the Group assumes the control of ownership and 
as disposed when transferred to the buyer. Generally, this would occur on completion of the contract. 
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the property, which is calculated as the difference 
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at the commencement of 
the accounting period plus capital expenditure in the period, is included in profit or loss in the period 
in which the property is derecognised. Gains or losses on disposal of investment properties are shown 
in the Income Statement within realised and unrealised property gains and losses. 
Leases
At inception, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. This assessment involves 
the exercise of judgement about whether the Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits 
from the use of that asset, and whether the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. 
The Group recognises a right-of-use (ROU) asset and the lease liability at the commencement date 
of the lease. 
Lease liabilities include the present value of payments which generally include fixed payments and 
variable payments that depend on an index (such as an inflation index). When the lease contains an 
extension or purchase option that the Group considers reasonably certain to be exercised, the cost 
of the option is included in the lease payments. 
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The lease payments are 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined or if not, 
the incremental borrowing rate is used. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for 
each period. 
Cash payments relating to the principal portion of the lease liabilities are presented as cash flows from 
financing activities and cash payments for the interest portion are presented as cash flows from 
operating activities. 
The ROU asset is measured at a cost based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, 
plus initial direct costs and the cost of obligations to refurbish the asset, less any incentives received. 
The ROU asset (other than the ROU assets that relate to land or property that meets the definition 
of investment property under IAS 40) is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful 
life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator 
of impairment. ROU assets are included in the heading property, plant and equipment, and the lease 
liability included in the headings current and non current trade and other payables on the Balance Sheet. 
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to the respective functional currency of Group entities at 
the foreign exchange rate ruling on the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting 
from settling these, or from retranslating monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies, 
are booked in the Income Statement. The exception is for foreign currency loans and derivatives that 
hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries, where exchange differences are booked in equity until the 
investment is realised.
Consolidation of foreign entities
Assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated into sterling at exchange rates ruling at the 
Balance Sheet date. Their income, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average rate for 
the period or at spot rate for significant items. Resultant exchange differences are booked in Other 
Comprehensive Income and recognised in the Group Income Statement when the operation is sold.
The principal exchange rates used to translate foreign currency denominated amounts in 2024 are:
Balance Sheet: £1 = €1.21 (2023: £1 = €1.15). Income Statement: £1 = €1.18 (2023: £1 = €1.15).
Investment properties
These properties include completed properties that are generating rent or are available for rent, 
and development properties that are under development, available for development or income-
producing properties acquired with the explicit intention to take back for redevelopment (‘covered 
land’). Investment properties comprise freehold and leasehold properties and are first measured at 
cost (including transaction costs), then revalued to market value at each reporting date by professional 
valuers. Lease liabilities associated with leasehold properties are accounted for under IFRS 16, see the 
Leases accounting policy. If a valuation obtained for a property held under a lease is net of all 
payments expected to be made, any related lease liability recognised separately in the Balance Sheet 
is added back to arrive at the carrying value of the investment property for accounting purposes. 
Valuation gains and losses in a period are taken to the Income Statement. As the Group uses the fair 
value model, as per IAS 40 ‘Investment Property’, no depreciation is provided. An asset will be 
classified as held for sale within investment properties, in line with IFRS 5 ‘Non-Current Assets Held 
for Sale and Discontinued Operations’, where the asset is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition and the sale is highly probable.
Investment properties are transferred to trading properties when there is a change in use and the 
property ceases to meet the definition of investment property. 
Other interests in property
Other interests in property include the cost and related fees in respect of land options, which are 
initially capitalised and regularly tested for impairment. The impairment review includes consideration 
of the resale value of the option and likelihood of achieving planning consent.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
Where the ROU asset relates to land or property that meets the definition of investment property 
under IAS 40, after initial recognition the ROU asset is subsequently accounted for as investment 
property and carried at fair value (see Investment properties accounting policy). Valuation gains and 
losses in a period are taken to the Income Statement. The ROU assets are included in the heading 
Investment properties, and the lease liability in the headings current and non-current trade and other 
payables on the Balance Sheet.
The Group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and liabilities for leases where the total lease term 
is less than or equal to 12 months, or for low value leases. The payments for such leases are recognised 
in the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 
Revenue
Revenue includes gross rental income, joint venture management and performance fee income, 
income from service charges and other recoveries from tenants and proceeds from the sale of 
trading properties. 
Rental income
Rental income from properties let as operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term. Lease incentives and initial costs to arrange leases are capitalised, then amortised on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term (‘rent averaging’). Surrender premiums received in the period 
are included in rental income.
Changes in the scope or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and 
conditions, which might arise as a result of lease concessions, are accounted as a lease modification. 
Lease modifications are accounted for as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, 
considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease 
payments for the new lease. Concessions granted to tenants after the date the conceded rent fall due 
are accounted for as an expected credit loss and not as a lease modification, on the basis there is no 
change to the consideration or scope of the lease.
Service charges and other recoveries from tenants
These include income in relation to service charges, directly recoverable expenditure and management 
fees. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services 
are rendered. Revenue from services is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end 
of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided and recognised over time. 
The Group generally acts as the principal in service charge transactions as it directly controls the 
delivery of the services at the point they are provided to the tenant. Where the Group acts as a 
principal, service charge income is presented gross within revenue and service charge expense 
presented gross within costs. 
Joint venture management and performance fees 
Joint venture management and performance fees are recognised as income in the period to which 
they relate. Management fees are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are 
rendered. Revenue from services is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of 
the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided and recognised over time. 
Performance fees are based on the joint venture’s performance over the performance period and 
payable subject to meeting certain criteria and hurdle rates at the end of the period (further details are 
given in Note 7). Performance fees are recognised during and at the end of the performance period to 
the extent that it is highly probable there will not be a significant future reversal and the fee can be 
reliably estimated.
Sale of trading properties
Proceeds from the sale of trading properties are recognised at the point in time at which control of the 
property has been transferred to the purchaser. Therefore, revenue is recognised at a point in time 
and generally occurs on completion of the contract.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at historic cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes 
purchase price and any directly attributable costs.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than investment 
properties) less their residual values, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:
Plant and equipment
20% per annum
Solar panels
5% per annum 
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each 
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Property relates to the ROU asset recognised for office leases entered into by the Group. The ROU 
asset is initially measured based on the present value of lease payments, plus initial direct costs and 
the cost of obligations to refurbish the asset, less any incentives received. The ROU asset is 
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. 
Financial instruments
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially 
recognised and the redemption value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of 
the borrowings, using the effective interest rate method.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to expenditure on properties under 
development are capitalised. Expenditure includes the purchase cost of a site if it has been purchased 
with the specific intention to redevelop. Interest is capitalised from the commencement of the 
development activity until the date of practical completion. The capitalisation of borrowing costs is 
suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. The interest 
capitalised is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowing for the relevant 
currency, or, if appropriate, the rate on specific associated borrowings.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which 
includes directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are 
classified as treasury shares and are presented in the treasury share reserve. When treasury shares are 
sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity and the 
resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.
Shares held by Ocorian Limited and Equiniti Limited to satisfy various Group share schemes are 
disclosed as own shares held and deducted from contributed equity.
Income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the tax 
payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustment in respect of previous years. Current 
tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and 
generate taxable income.
Deferred tax is provided in full using the Balance Sheet liability method on temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the 
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the asset 
is realised or the liability is settled.
No provision is made for temporary differences (i) arising on the initial recognition of assets or 
liabilities, other than a business combination and leases that affect neither accounting nor taxable 
profit and (ii) relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that suitable taxable profits will 
be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily 
apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical 
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these 
estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 
to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision 
affects only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revision affects both 
current and future periods.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
The Group uses derivatives (principally interest rate swaps, currency swaps, forward foreign exchange 
contracts, interest floors and interest caps) in managing interest rate risk and foreign currency risk, and 
does not use them for trading. They are recorded, and subsequently revalued, at fair value, with 
revaluation gains or losses being immediately taken to the Income Statement (fair value through profit 
or loss ‘FVPL’). The exception is for derivatives qualifying as hedges, when the treatment of the gain/
loss depends upon the item being hedged, and may go to other comprehensive income within the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income (fair value through other comprehensive income ‘FVOCI’).
Derivatives with a maturity of less than 12 months or that expect to be settled within 12 months of the 
Balance Sheet date are presented as current assets or liabilities. Other derivatives are presented as 
non-current assets or liabilities.
Hedge accounting is applied to net investments in foreign operations in non-functional currencies 
using forward foreign exchange derivatives and foreign currency denominated debt. Changes in the 
fair value on remeasurement of derivatives and exchange differences on foreign currency denominated 
debt are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve within 
equity to the extent that the hedges are effective. Any ineffectiveness is recognised in the Income 
Statement within net finance costs. The cumulative gains and losses remain in equity until the 
associated hedged item is disposed of, at which point they are reclassified to the income statement.
Trade and other receivables and payables
Trade and other receivables are booked at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of 
transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method. 
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) which 
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Note 17(vi) details the Group’s 
calculation for measuring ECLs.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a 
known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Share-based payments
The cost of granting share options and other share-based remuneration is measured at their fair value 
at the grant date. The costs are expensed straight-line over the vesting period in the Income Statement, 
based on estimates of the shares or options that will eventually vest. Charges are reversed if it appears 
that non-market-based performance conditions will not be met.
The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions.
At each Balance Sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments 
expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the 
revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Income Statement such that the cumulative 
expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to equity within the share-
based payment reserve.

Significant areas of estimation uncertainty
Property valuations
Valuation of property is a central component of the business. In estimating the fair value, the Group 
engages third-party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. Information about the valuation 
techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of the property portfolio is disclosed in 
Note 25 Property valuation techniques and related quantitative information.
Significant areas of judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Accounting for significant property transactions
Property transactions are complex in nature. Management considers each material transaction 
separately, with an assessment carried out to determine the most appropriate accounting treatment 
and judgements applied. The judgements include whether the transaction represents an asset 
acquisition or business combination and the cut-off for property transactions on recognition of 
property assets and revenue recognition. In making its judgement over the cut-off for property 
transactions, management considers whether the control of ownership of the assets acquired or 
disposed of has transferred to or from the Group (this consideration includes the revenue recognition 
criteria set out in IFRS 15 for the sale of trading properties). 
In making its judgement on whether the acquisition of property through the purchase of a corporate 
vehicle represents an asset acquisition or business combination, management considers whether 
the integrated set of assets and activities acquired contain both inputs and processes along with the 
ability to create outputs. Management also applies the optional ‘concentration test’ allowed under 
IFRS 3. When applying the optional test, management considers if substantially all of the fair value of 
gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets). Where management 
judge that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single 
asset (or a group of similar assets) and the ‘concentration test’ met, the assets acquired would not 
represent a business and the purchase would be treated as an asset acquisition. 
There were no property transactions during the current or prior year requiring significant judgement.
REIT status
The Company has elected for UK REIT and French SIIC status. To continue to benefit from these tax 
regimes, the Group is required to comply with certain conditions as outlined in Note 10. Management 
intends that the Group should continue as a UK REIT and a French SIIC for the foreseeable future.
Uncertain tax positions 
The Group is subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities on a range of tax matters during 
the normal course of business. The tax impact can be uncertain until a conclusion is reached with the 
relevant tax authority or through a legal process. Management judgement is required in assessing 
the likelihood of whether a liability, including any associated penalties, will arise and the significant 
assessment relating to the recognition of withholding tax in France and is discussed further in Note 10.
2. Adjusted Profit
Adjusted profit is a non-GAAP measure and is the Group’s measure of underlying profit, which is used 
by the Board and senior management to measure and monitor the Group’s income performance.
It is based on the Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines of European Public Real Estate 
Association (EPRA), which calculate profit excluding investment and development property 
revaluations and gains or losses on disposals. Changes in the fair value of financial instruments and 
associated close-out costs and their related taxation, as well as other permitted one-off items, are also 
excluded. Refer to the Supplementary Notes for all EPRA adjustments.
The Directors may also exclude from the EPRA earnings measure additional items (gains and losses) 
which are considered by them to be non-recurring, unusual or significant by virtue of size and nature. 
In excluding such items going forward, management believe this gives a better measure of the 
underlying performance of the business. No non-EPRA adjustments to underlying profit were made 
in the current year. In the year ended 31 December 2023 there were two non-EPRA adjustments and 
are detailed below. 
As detailed further in Note 17(vi) an impairment loss of £28 million on a loan due from an associate was 
recognised in the year ended 31 December 2023. The impairment of the loan is directly related to a 
wider property transaction entered into by the Group and had arisen due to a fair value deficit on land 
held by an associate. As the nature of the impairment does not reflect the underlying performance of 
the business this has been treated as a Company specific adjustment. 
In the year ended 31 December 2023 the impact of the SELP performance fee of £42 million was 
excluded from the calculation of Adjusted profit and treated as a Company specific adjustment. 
No SELP performance fee was recognised in the year ended 31 December 2024 and no adjustment 
is required for this year. See footnote 3 below and Note 7 (ii) for further details.

3. Segmental Analysis
As a result of the organisational structure which has been developed over the last year there has been a change in the Group’s reportable segments. As detailed in the Annual Report for the year ended 
31 December 2023, the new organisational structure has consolidated the six regional Business Units into two property businesses, each under a separate Managing Director: United Kingdom (UK) and 
Continental Europe (CE).
In 2024, the two property businesses are now managed, and their operating results reported to the Executive Directors (‘chief operating decision maker’, ‘CODM’) as separate and distinct businesses. Prior to 
2024, operating results were reported to the Executive Directors at the Business Unit level. Given the change in the level at which results are reported to the CODM the operating segments under IFRS 8 have 
changed from the six regional Business Units previously reported to the two property businesses, UK and CE. The comparative period has been represented to reflect the new segments.

Fees
SEGRO provides certain services, including venture advisory and asset management, to the SELP 
joint venture and receives fees for doing so. 
Performance fees may also be payable from SELP to SEGRO based on its IRR subject to certain hurdle 
rates over the performance period. The current performance period commenced in October 2023 
and is over a circa three-year and circa six-year period. The first performance period and potential 
payment due ends in June 2026, but 50 per cent of any payment is subject to clawback based on 
performance over the six-year period to June 2029. If the IRR increases by June 2029 relative to June 
2026, additional fees might be triggered.
Based on the current estimates of the IRR calculation from October 2023 to 31 December 2024, no 
performance fee is due to SEGRO in June 2026. Therefore no fee has been recognised in the year as 
the recognition criteria under IFRS 15 has not been met. The performance fee is not considered to be 
a significant area of estimation uncertainty at this point.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the ten-year performance fee period from inception of SELP in 
October 2013 to October 2023 ended. As a result, SEGRO recognised a performance fee income of 
£89 million (€103 million) in its 31 December 2023 Income Statement. An equivalent performance fee 
expense at share of £45 million was recognised within the share of profit from joint ventures and 
associates and shown in Note 7(i).

SELP is a SPPICAV in France, and does not pay tax on its French property income or gains on property 
sales, provided that at least 85 per cent of the French subsidiaries’ property income is distributed to 
their immediate shareholder. In addition, SELP has to meet certain conditions such as ensuring the 
property rental business of each French subsidiary represents more than 60 per cent of its assets. 
Any potential or proposed changes to the SPPICAV legislation are monitored.

1	 The external borrowings of the joint ventures and associates are non-recourse to the Group. At 31 December 2024, 
the fair value of £1,857 million (2023: £2,143 million) of borrowings was £1,818 million (2023: £2,046 million). This results in 
a fair value adjustment increase in EPRA NDV of £39 million (2023: £97 million), at share £20 million (2023: £48 million), 
see Table 5 of the Supplementary Notes. 
2	 Other non-current liabilities of £34 million as at 31 December 2023 relates to a loan due from an associate to the Group. 
During 2024 the remaining shares of the associate were acquired and is now a 100 per cent subsidiary. See Note 17(vi) 
for details on the impairment of the loan receivable held by the Group in 2023.

1	 During 2024, £nil (2023: £303 million) of non-current loans were recapitalised and converted into equity. This is reflected 
within additions and a reduction in loan movement in the table above.
2	 Total increase in provision for impairment of £80 million (2023: £136 million) consists of £nil (2023: £28 million) for 
investments and £80 million (2023: £108 million) for loans to subsidiaries.
Included in cost or valuation of subsidiaries at 31 December 2024 are investments of £6,401 million 
(2023: £6,401 million) and non-current loans of £5,495 million (2023: £5,012 million). Loans held with 
subsidiaries are classified as non-current as there is no intention from the Company to require the loan 
to be repaid, in whole or in part, within 12 months. 
Subsidiary entities are detailed in Note 27. 
In measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) of the intercompany loans under IFRS 9 the ability of each 
subsidiary to repay the loan at the reporting date if demanded by the Company is assessed. For the 
purpose of the impairment review the manner for recovering the loan is assumed to be through the 
sale of the investment properties held by the subsidiary. Investment properties are held at fair value at 
each reporting date and the assumptions and inputs used in determining their fair value are shown in 
Note 25. Therefore, the net asset value of the subsidiary is considered to be a reasonable approximation 
of the available assets that could be realised to recover the loan balance and the requirement to 
recognise expected credit losses. The requirement for impairment of investments under IAS 36 follows 
the same assessment and the net asset value of the subsidiary is considered to be a reasonable 
approximation of the recoverable amount. The increase in the provision for investments and loans 
held with subsidiaries during the current and prior period is due to a lower expectation of recovery 
predominantly due to the decrease in the fair value of specific properties held by the subsidiaries.
The loss allowances for loans held with subsidiaries as at 31 December reconcile to the opening loss 
allowances as follows:

1	 The joint venture and associates’ tax adjustment is required because the profit on ordinary activities before tax includes 
share of profit from joint ventures and associates’ after tax, whereas the total tax balance excludes joint ventures and 
associates.
2 	The UK corporation tax rate for the financial year beginning 1 April 2023 increased to 25 per cent (previously 19 per cent 
in the financial year beginning 1 April 2022).
10(iii) – REIT and SIIC regimes and other tax judgements
SEGRO is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and does not pay tax on its UK property income or 
gains on property sales, provided that at least 90 per cent of the Group’s UK property income is 
distributed as a dividend to shareholders, which becomes taxable in their hands. In addition, the 
Group has to meet certain conditions such as ensuring its worldwide property rental business 
represents more than 75 per cent of total profits and assets. Any potential or proposed changes to the 
REIT legislation are monitored and discussed with HMRC. It is management’s intention that the Group 
will continue as a REIT for the foreseeable future.
SEGRO is also a SIIC in France, and does not pay corporation tax on its French property income or 
gains on property sales, provided that at least 95 per cent of the relevant Group French subsidiaries’ 
property income is distributed to their immediate shareholder. In addition, the Group has to meet 
certain conditions such as ensuring the property rental business of each French subsidiary represents 
more than 80 per cent of its assets. Any potential or proposed changes to the SIIC legislation are 
monitored. It is management’s intention that the Group will continue as a SIIC for the foreseeable 
future.
In 2021 a formal tax assessment in relation to the applicability of a 25 per cent withholding tax on 
distributions from the SIIC was received from the French tax authorities and a tax charge was 
recognised. A legal conclusion has not been reached and communication with the French tax 
authorities remains ongoing. As a result, a tax charge for the 25 per cent withholding tax on results 
generated from the French business has been recognised, this includes withholding tax on unremitted 
earnings. As noted below, until a legal conclusion has been reached, it is possible further tax charges 
may arise in relation to this matter.
Net finance costs (including adjustments) in Adjusted profit (Note 2) are £68 million (2023: £106 million). 
This excludes net fair value gains and losses on interest rate swaps and other derivatives of £3 million 
gain (2023: £24 million gain) and the cost of early close out debt of £2 million (2023: £1 million).
The interest capitalisation rates for 2024 ranged from 2.6 per cent to 6.7 per cent (2023: 2.6 per cent to 
6.5 per cent). Interest is capitalised gross of tax relief. Further analysis of exchange differences is given 
in Note 17 within the forward foreign exchange and currency swap contracts section.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
The Group operates in a number of jurisdictions and is subject to periodic challenges by local tax 
authorities on a range of tax matters during the normal course of business. The tax impact can be 
uncertain until a conclusion is reached with the relevant tax authority or through a legal process. 
The Group uses in-house expertise when assessing uncertain tax positions and seeks the advice 
of external professional advisors where appropriate. The Group believes that its provisions for tax 
liabilities and associated penalties are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of 
many factors, including tax laws and prior experience. The significant assessment relating to the 
recognition of withholding tax in France is discussed above.

The Group has recognised revenue tax losses of £71 million (2023: £94 million) available for offset 
against future profits (reflected in ‘Valuation surpluses and deficits on properties/accelerated tax 
allowances’ in the table above). Further unrecognised tax losses of £755 million also exist at 
31 December 2024 (2023: £757 million) of which £1 million (2023: £1 million) expires within nine years. 
The majority of the unrecognised tax loss balance relates to historic capital losses that arose on 
property disposals and on losses generated from debt close-out costs. The Directors do not consider 
it probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profit for the relevant losses to be utilised and so 
no deferred tax asset has been recognised for unused tax losses. 
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment 
properties that are measured using the fair value model, the Directors have reviewed the Group’s 
investment property portfolios and concluded that the Group’s investment properties are not held 
under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits 
embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, in determining 
the Group’s deferred taxation on investment properties, the Directors have determined that the 
presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured using the fair value model 
are recovered entirely through sale is not rebutted. As a result, the Group has recognised deferred 
taxes on changes in fair value of investment properties for all jurisdictions, with the exception of the 
UK, where the Group is not subject to any corporate income taxes on the fair value changes of the 
investment properties on disposal due to its REIT status.
10(v) – Factors that may affect future tax charges
Other than France no deferred tax is recognised on the unremitted earnings of international 
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. In the event of their remittance to the UK, no net UK tax is 
expected to be payable. As detailed in Note 10(iii) a tax charge for probable withholding tax due on 
results generated from the French business has been recognised, this includes withholding tax on 
unremitted earnings.
10(vi) – OECD Pillar Two model rules
Pillar Two legislation was enacted in the UK during 2023, the jurisdiction in which the Company is 
incorporated, and was effective from 1 January 2024. Management have engaged tax specialists to 
assist with applying the legislation and assessing the impact in all relevant jurisdictions. Based on the 
assessment of this enacted legislation and local enacted qualifying domestic minimum top-up tax 
rules in effect, management consider there to be no material impact on the Company or the Group 
due to its UK REIT status, which should result in the majority of the Group companies being excluded 
from the rules.
 
The Group applies the exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets 
and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in 
May 2023.

The total dividend in 2024 of £379 million (2023: £327 million) was paid: £264 million as cash 
(2023: £198 million) and £115 million in scrip dividends (2023: £129 million). For details on scrip

the year and the net assets per share calculations use the number of shares in issue at year end. 
Earnings per share calculations exclude 0.5 million shares (2023: 0.3 million) being the average 
number of shares held on trust for employee share schemes and net assets per share calculations 
exclude 0.7 million shares (2023: 0.4 million) being the actual number of shares held on trust for

The EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) metric is considered to be most consistent with the nature of 
SEGRO’s business as a UK REIT providing long-term progressive and sustainable returns. EPRA NTA 
acts as the primary measure of net asset value and is also referred to as Adjusted Net Asset Value 
(or Adjusted NAV).
A reconciliation from IFRS NAV to Adjusted NAV is set out in the table below along with the net asset

1	 At 31 December 2024 investment properties included £67 million (2023: £71 million) for the head lease liabilities 
recognised under IFRS 16. 
2	 Part of the capital expenditure incurred is in response to climate change including the reduction of the carbon footprint 
of the Group’s existing investment properties and developments. The reduction of the carbon footprint within the 
Group’s property portfolio is discussed in more detail on pages 38 and 41.
Investment properties are stated at fair value as at 31 December 2024 based on external valuations 
performed by professionally qualified, independent valuers. The Group’s wholly-owned, joint venture 
and associate property portfolio is valued by CBRE Ltd on a half-yearly basis. The valuations conform 
to International Valuation Standards and were arrived at by reference to market evidence of the 
transaction prices paid for similar properties. In estimating the fair value of the properties, the valuers 
consider the highest and best use of the properties. There has been no change to the valuation 
technique during the year.
CBRE Ltd also undertakes some professional and agency work on behalf of the Group. This is carried 
out by departments separate from the Valuation team in CBRE and overall the total fees earned from 
the Group are below 5 per cent of CBRE’s total income. This work does not therefore lead to a conflict 
of interest for the properties being valued by CBRE at the period end.
Completed properties include buildings that are occupied or are available for occupation. 
Development properties include land available for development (land bank), land under development, 
construction in progress and covered land. The carrying value of covered land held within 
Development properties as at 31 December 2024 is £619 million (2023: £645 million). 
At 31 December 2024 investment properties included £185 million tenant lease incentives, letting fees 
and rent guarantees (2023: £175 million).
The carrying value of investment properties situated on land held under leaseholds is £170 million 
(excluding head lease ROU assets) (2023: £186 million). 
Further details on property valuation techniques, sustainability and climate change considerations 
and related quantitative information are set out in Note 25.

1	 Group Cash and cash equivalents also include tenant deposits held in separate designated bank accounts of £71 million 
(2023: £61 million), the use of the deposits is subject to restrictions as set out in the tenant lease agreement and 
therefore not available for general use by the Group.
There are no early settlement or call options (greater than three months prior to maturity) on any of 
the borrowings. Financial covenants relating to £4,607 million of borrowings as at 31 December 2024 
include maximum limits to the Group’s gearing ratio, minimum limits to permitted interest cover, 
minimum limits to the Group’s unencumbered asset ratio and maximum limits to subsidiary or 
secured borrowings. Depending on the instrument, financial covenants are tested for compliance 
either annually or semi-annually. The gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 December 2024 as defined 
within the principal debt funding arrangements was 35 per cent and significantly lower than the 
Group’s tightest financial gearing covenant within these debt facilities of 160 per cent. The interest 
cover covenant requires net interest before capitalisation be covered at least 1.25 times by net 
property rental income and the ratio for 2024 was 3.7 times. Financial covenants are discussed in 
more detail in the ‘Gearing and financial covenants’ section in the Financial review on page 45 and 
there are no indications that the Group would have difficulty complying with the covenants.
Bank loans and overdrafts include capitalised finance costs on committed facilities. 
In May 2024, SEGRO cancelled a €100 million bilateral revolving credit facility, which was replaced by 
the bilateral revolving credit facility entered into in January 2024. Also, in May 2024 SEGRO extended 
the maturity of one of it’s €100 million bilateral credit facilities, by one year to 2028.
In August 2024, SEGRO extended the maturity of €600 million of its revolving credit facilities for a 
further year to 2027.
In September 2024, SEGRO issued a €500 million 3.50% bond due in 2032.
In October 2024, SEGRO extended the maturity of £90 million of term loans for a further year to 2027.
During the year, SEGRO repaid £725 million in term loans.

included within the ‘tenant lease incentives and letting fees’ balance in Note 13.
2	 Excludes non-financial assets of £77 million (2023: £90 million) included within total Group other receivables per Note 14 
and non-financial liabilities of £116 million (2023: £108 million) included within total trade and other payables per Note 15.
The carrying values of these financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value, with the 
exception of unsecured bonds and unsecured US private placement notes classified as borrowings. 
At 31 December 2024, the fair value of £3,051 million of unsecured bonds issued was £2,822 million 
(2023: £2,709 million compared with £2,480 million fair value). At 31 December 2024, the fair value of 
£1,339 million of unsecured US private placement notes was £1,285 million (2023: £1,409 million 
compared with £1,281 million fair value). This results in a fair value adjustment increase in EPRA NDV of 
£283 million (2023: £357 million), see Table 5 of the Supplementary Notes. The fair value of unsecured 
bonds is estimated using quoted prices (level 1) and the fair value of US private placement notes is 
estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows (level 2).

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
	– Forward foreign exchange contracts are measured using quoted exchange rates and yield curves 
derived from quoted interest rates with maturities matching the contracts (level 2).
	– Interest rate swaps, currency swap contracts and interest rate options are measured at the present 
value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived 
from quoted interest rates and the appropriate exchange rate at the Balance Sheet date (level 2).
	– The fair value of other investments classified as fair value through profit or loss which are not traded 
on active liquid markets is determined by management (level 3).
Fair value measurements recognised in the Balance Sheet
The Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are 
unlisted investments, forward exchange and currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps and interest 
rate options as detailed above. As defined by IFRS 13, unlisted investments are classified as level 3 fair 
value measurements, where inputs are not based on observable market data. All other financial 
instruments are classified as level 2 fair value measurements, being those derived from inputs other 
than quoted prices (included within level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). There were no transfers between categories in the 
current or prior year.
17(iii) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going 
concern and as such it aims to maintain a prudent mix between debt and equity financing. Our 
intention for the foreseeable future is to maintain our mid-cycle LTV (including joint ventures and 
associates at share) at around 30 per cent. This provides the flexibility to take advantage of investment 
opportunities arising and ensures significant headroom compared to our tightest gearing covenants 
should property values decline. The current capital structure of the Group consists of a mix of equity 
and debt. Equity comprises issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the 
Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes 18 to 19. Debt primarily comprises long-term debt issues, 
term loans and drawings against short-term committed revolving credit facilities from banks as 
disclosed in Note 16.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 
17(iv) Foreign currency risk management
The Group’s transactional foreign exchange exposures mainly arise as a result of treasury financing 
and hedging activities. These hedging activities are carried out in SEGRO plc on behalf of the Group 
and the resulting transactional exposures to euro are not routinely hedged. The Group does not have 
any significant transactional foreign currency exposures resulting from cross-border flows in the 
operating business. The Group does however have operations in Continental Europe which transact 
business denominated mostly in euros, hence there is currency exposure caused by translating the 
local trading performance and local net assets into sterling for each financial period and at each 
Balance Sheet date. 
The Group’s approach to managing Balance Sheet translation exposure is described in the Foreign 
Currency Translation Risk section in the Financial review on page 46.
The Group’s Balance Sheet translation exposure to euros (including the impact of derivative financial 
instruments) is summarised below:

2024 Group gross currency liabilities include €2,226 million (£1,831 million) designated as net 
investment hedges.
2023 Group gross currency liabilities include €2,226 million (£1,926 million) designated as net 
investment hedges.
The remaining gross currency liabilities of the Group shown in the table above that are not designated 
as net investment hedges are either held directly in a euro functional currency entity or passed down 
to such an entity from a sterling functional currency company through inter-company funding 
arrangements.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Group’s main currency exposure is the euro. The sensitivity of the net assets of the Group to 
a 10 per cent appreciation in the value of sterling against the euro would decrease net assets by 
£124 million (2023: £151 million). The sensitivity of the Group to a 10 per cent depreciation in the value 
of sterling against the euro would increase net assets by £152 million (2023: £184 million).
The 10 per cent sensitivity rate is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to management 
and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange 
rates. The sensitivity analysis adjusts the translation of net assets (after taking account of external 
loans, currency swap contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts) at the period end for a 
10 per cent change in the value of sterling against the euro. A 10 per cent appreciation in the value of 
sterling against the euro would decrease the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 by 
£9 million (2023: decrease in the loss by £22 million). A 10 per cent depreciation in the value of sterling 
against the euro would increase the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 by 
£10 million (2023: increase in the loss by £27 million).

Forward foreign exchange contracts
The Group designated euro denominated forward foreign exchange contracts as net investment 
hedges during 2024 and 2023.
There was no ineffectiveness to be recorded from net investments in foreign entity hedges in 2024 
and 2023 where the hedging instrument was forward foreign exchange contracts. This is because the 
critical terms of both the net investment in foreign entity and the hedging instrument match, and at 
each Balance Sheet date both are revalued to the closing spot rate. Any forward points in the foreign 
exchange contract are taken to the Income Statement.

The total fair value movements on derivatives and borrowings in effective hedge relationships shown 
in Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2024 is a gain of £95 million 
(2023: £35 million gain) and consists of the gain on Euro forward foreign exchange of £20 million 
(2023: £9 million gain) and gain on US private placement notes and bonds of £75 million 
(2023: £26 million gain) shown in the tables above. 
Forward foreign exchange and currency swap contracts
Some of the forward foreign exchange and currency swap contracts held by the Group are 
designated as net investment hedges of euro denominated subsidiaries, where exchange differences 
are booked in reserves and recognised in the Income Statement when the operation is sold. The 
remaining foreign exchange and currency swap contracts are effectively economic cash flow hedges, 
for example using surplus cash in one currency to provide (typically through intercompany debt 
funding arrangements with overseas subsidiaries) funds to repay debt, or to fund development 
expenditure or acquisitions in another currency. These instruments have not been designated as 
hedges. As a consequence, exchange movements in respect of these instruments are taken 
through the Income Statement. Offsetting these movements are net exchange losses of £14 million 
(2023: £7 million loss) arising on intercompany debt funding arrangements (discussed above) and 
exchange movements arising from external borrowings not designated as hedges. This has resulted 
in exchange differences of £1 million gain (2023: £nil) within net finance costs in Note 9.
The Group seeks to limit its exposure to volatility in foreign exchange rates by hedging its foreign 
gross assets using either borrowings or derivative instruments. The Group targets a hedging range 
of between the last reported LTV ratio (28 per cent at 31 December 2024) and 100 per cent. 
At 31 December 2024, the Group had gross foreign currency assets, which were 75 per cent 
hedged by gross foreign currency denominated liabilities (2023: 74 per cent).

17(v) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and 
floating interest rates and invests cash at floating interest rates. The risk is managed by maintaining an 
appropriate mix between fixed and floating rates. The current Group policy states that 50 to 100 per 
cent of net borrowings should be at fixed rate provided by long-term debt issues attracting a fixed 
coupon or from floating rate bank borrowings converted into fixed rate or hedged via interest rate 
swaps, forwards, caps, collars or floors or options on these products. Hedging activities require 
approval and are evaluated and reported on regularly to ensure that the policy is being adhered to. 
The Board reviews the policy on interest rate exposure annually with a view to establishing that it 
is still relevant in the prevailing and forecast economic environment.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both 
derivative and non-derivative instruments at the Balance Sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the 
analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of liability outstanding at the Balance Sheet date was 
outstanding for the whole year. A 2 per cent increase or decrease is used when reporting interest 
rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the 
reasonable possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 2 per cent higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s 
profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 would increase by £10 million (2023: £10 million increase 
in loss for the year). If interest rates had been 2 per cent lower and all other variables were held 
constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 would increase by £8 million 
(2023: £17 million decrease in loss for the year). The interest rate sensitivity described results in a higher 
profit in 2024 for both an interest rate rise and an interest rate fall. This is because the Group currently 
has both interest rate caps hedging floating rate debt interest costs, and interest rate floors hedging 
floating rate cash interest income. Fixed rate debt issues are held at amortised cost and are not 
revalued in the Balance Sheet to reflect interest rate movements. 
Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and 
floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable 
the Group to manage the interest rate risk of the Group’s borrowings. The fair value of interest rate 
swaps at the reporting date is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the yield curves 
at the reporting date and the credit risk inherent in the contract, and is disclosed below. The average 
interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the financial year.
The following tables detail the notional principal amounts and remaining terms of interest rate swap 
contracts, based on their contractual maturities (excluding mandatory break clauses), outstanding as 
at the reporting date:

The above are effective economic hedges although the Group has not elected to adopt hedge 
accounting for them, hence their change in fair value is taken direct to the Income Statement.
The interest rate swaps settle on either a three-month or six-month basis with the floating rate side 
based on the EURIBOR or sterling SONIA rate for the relevant period. The Group will settle or receive 
the difference between the fixed and floating interest rate on a net basis.
Interest rate cap contracts 
The Group agrees to receive floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal 
amounts, should prevailing market rates rise above a specified strike rate using interest rate caps.
Such contracts enable the Group to manage the interest rate risk of the Group’s floating rate 
borrowings. The fair value of interest rate caps at the reporting date is determined by discounting the 
future cash flows using the yield curves at the reporting date and the credit risk inherent in the contract 
and is disclosed below. The average interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of 
the financial year.

17(vi) Credit risk management 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting 
in financial loss to the Group. Potential customers are evaluated for creditworthiness and where 
necessary collateral is secured. There is no concentration of credit risk within the lease portfolio to 
either business sector or individual company as the Group has a diverse customer base with no one 
customer accounting for more than 6 per cent of rental income. Trade receivables were less than 
1 per cent of total assets at 31 December 2024 and at 31 December 2023.

Gross trade receivables mainly consists of amounts invoiced for rent, service charge and 
management fees, which form part of Revenue (see Note 4) and are inclusive of VAT. Trade 
receivables at 31 December 2024 includes amounts due for 2024 rent and amounts billed in advance 
for 2025 rent. Both amounts have been considered in measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) 
detailed further below. The amounts billed in advance for 2025 rent are included within the ‘Not due’ 
category in the table above. 
Total gross trade receivables ‘past due’ at 31 December 2024 were £16 million (2023: £18 million), 
3 per cent of total gross rental income for the year (2023: 3 per cent). 
Trade receivables are presented in the Balance Sheet net of loss allowances. The Group applies the 
IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) which uses a lifetime expected 
loss allowance for all trade receivables. Expected loss rates are based on the historic credit loss 
experienced and adjusted for current and forward information affecting the ability of the individual 
customers to settle receivables. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovery.

The interest rate caps settle on a three-month basis based on the EURIBOR rate for the relevant 
period. The Group will receive the difference between the floating rate and the specified strike rate.
Interest rate floor contracts 
The Group agrees to receive floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional 
principal amounts, should prevailing market rates fall below a specified strike rate using interest 
rate floor contracts.
Such contracts enable the Group to manage the interest rate risk of the Group’s cash balances which 
are invested in funds generating a floating rate of interest. The fair value of interest rate floors at the 
reporting date is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the yield curves at the 
reporting date and the credit risk inherent in the contract and is disclosed below. The average interest 
rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the financial year.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued
In determining the ECLs an analysis of various factors has been performed on a customer by 
customer basis and considers the impact of economic conditions. These factors include an 
assessment of the customer’s default risk based on: industry and geographic location; and payment 
record, which includes how many days past due the receivable is, payment plans granted and credit 
rating. ECLs are recognised net of securities held for the customer.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group held a loss allowance provision for trade receivables of £9 million 
(2023: £10 million) and the impairment risk remains low with the loss allowance of £9 million representing 
2 per cent of total gross rental income for the year (2023: 2 per cent).
Total impairment losses on trade receivables of £1 million were recognised in the Income Statement 
for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: £3 million). The impairment losses on trade receivables 
include the net impact from loss allowances, receivables written off and recoveries of receivables 
previously written off and are presented within operating profit (see Note 5).
The Group held a gross loan due from an associate of £34 million as at 31 December 2023 which 
was impaired by £28 million to a carrying value of £6 million as at 31 December 2023. 
During 2024, the associate was acquired by the Group and is a 100 per cent subsidiary as at 
31 December 2024 and no impairment has been recognised in the 31 December 2024 Group 
Income Statement.
As set out in Note 2, the impairment of the loan in 2023 was directly related to a wider property 
transaction entered into by the Group and arose due to a fair value deficit on land held by an associate. 
As the size and nature of the impairment does not reflect the underlying performance of the business 
this has been treated as a Company specific adjustment. When considered together the overall 
transaction has had an accretive impact on net assets since inception.
The other financial assets and lease incentive balances held by the Group have been considered for 
impairment based on historical default rates over the expected life and are adjusted for forward-
looking information. Based on that analysis, no material loss allowances are held against these assets 
in the current and prior period.
Investment in financial instruments is restricted to banks and short-term liquidity funds with a good 
credit rating. Derivative financial instruments are transacted via International Swaps and Derivatives 
Association (ISDA) agreements with counterparties with a an A- (or equivalent) credit rating. Cash and 
cash equivalents were placed with financial institutions with a minimum credit rating of A- (or equivalent). 
The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the 
aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread among approved counterparties.
17(vii) Liquidity risk management 
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has built an 
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium 
and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by 
requiring that adequate cash and committed bank facilities are available to cover and match all debt 
maturities, development spend, trade related and corporate cash flows over a rolling 18-month period. 
This is achieved by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity 
profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Liquidity risk management is discussed in more detail in the 
Financial review on pages 45 and 46.
Liquidity and interest risk tables 
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity profile for its financial 
instruments. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial 
liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables include 
both interest and principal cash flows.

On 27 February 2024 the Company announced the placing of 111 million ordinary shares of 10 pence 
each in the capital of the Company at a price of 820.0 pence per share. The Company raised 
£907 million, before £18 million expenses resulting in cash proceeds of £889 million. Consequently, 
the Company’s share capital increased by £11 million and share premium by £878 million.
Share-based payments
The Group operates the share-based payments schemes set out below.
18(i) – Deferred Share Bonus Plan (DSBP)
The DSBP is for Executive Directors and senior managers. A percentage of any payment made under 
the Bonus Scheme is deferred to shares and held in trust for three years. The percentage subject to 
deferral for Executive Directors is 50 per cent of the Bonus payment. This scheme is detailed in the 
Remuneration Report on page 124. If a participant ceases to be employed by the Group, the award will 
lapse unless the participant is deemed to be a ‘good leaver’, in which case the award will be released 
on the vesting date.

The 2023 DSBP grant was made on 26 April 2024, based on a 25 April 2024 closing mid-market share 
price of 843.4 pence.
18(ii) – Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) 
The LTIP is a discretionary employee share scheme for Executive Directors and senior managers. 
Vesting of awards is subject to three-year performance conditions and is at the discretion of the 
Remuneration Committee. The performance conditions of the LTIP are detailed in the Remuneration 
Report on page 125.
If a participant ceases to be employed by the Group, the award will lapse, unless the participant is 
deemed to be a ‘good leaver’, in which case the award will be reduced pro-rata on length of employment 
in relation to the award date. For Executive Directors a compulsory two-year post-vesting holding 
period follows the three-year performance period.

Capital redemption reserve
The capital redemption reserve of £114 million arose in 2009 where shares were reclassified, cancelled 
and consolidated in connection with a rights issue.
Own shares held reserve
The own shares held reserve represent the cost of shares in SEGRO plc bought in the open market 
and held by Ocorian Limited and Equiniti Limited, to satisfy various Group share schemes.
Other reserves
Other reserves shown on the Group Balance Sheet of £124 million (2023: £204 million) is made up 
of the following reserves:
The merger reserve of £169 million (2023: £169 million) arose in 2009 in connection with the 
acquisition of Brixton plc where the Group acquired 100 per cent of the voting equity of Brixton plc 
in a share for share exchange.
The Group translation, hedging and other reserves of £70 million deficit (2023: £7 million surplus) 
comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the Financial Statements of 
foreign operations, as well as from the translation of liabilities that hedge the Group’s net investment 
in foreign denominated subsidiaries.
The Group share-based payment reserve of £25 million (2023: £28 million) reflects the increase in 
equity in connection with share-based payment transactions accounted for under IFRS 2.
20. Commitments
Contractual obligations to purchase, construct, develop, repair, maintain or enhance assets are as follows:

1 	 As detailed on page 38 of the Strategic Report, the Group (including joint ventures and associates at share) is expected 
to invest approximately £500 million in development capex during 2025. This amount includes committed and 
uncommitted capex.
In addition, commitments in the Group’s joint ventures and associates at 31 December 2024 (at share) 
amounted to £2 million (2023: £19 million). The Group also has a £4 million commitment to property 
related investment funds at 31 December 2024 (2023: £6 million).
21. Contingent Liabilities
The Group has given performance guarantees to third parties amounting to £46 million 
(2023: £54 million) in respect of development contracts of subsidiary undertakings. It is unlikely 
that these contingencies will crystallise.
The Company has guaranteed loans, bank overdrafts and euro bonds of subsidiary undertakings and 
has indicated its intention to provide the necessary support required by its subsidiaries.
The Group and joint ventures are subject to claims and litigation generally and provides guarantees, 
representations and warranties arising in the ordinary course of its business. Provision is made when 
liabilities are considered likely to arise and the expected quantum of the exposure is able to be 
estimated. The risk in relation to such items are monitored on an ongoing basis and provisions 
amended accordingly. It is not expected that contingent liabilities existing at 31 December 2024 
will have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position.
22. Leases
The Group as a lessor
The investment properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with rentals payable on a 
monthly or quarterly basis. Lease payments for some contracts include inflationary index increases, 
but there are no significant levels of variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. 
Where considered necessary to reduce credit risk, the Group may obtain bank guarantees or tenant 
deposits for the term of the lease. The Group is exposed to changes in the residual value of properties 
at the end of current lease agreements. The residual value risk borne by the Group is mitigated by 
active management of its property portfolio and discussed further in the Asset Management update 
on pages 40 to 41. The Group does not hold significant finance leases as a lessor.
Future aggregate minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases are:

25. Property Valuation Techniques, Sustainability and Climate Change Considerations and 
Related Quantitative Information
All of the Group’s properties are level 3, as defined by IFRS 13, in the fair value hierarchy as at 
31 December 2024 and there were no transfers between levels during the year. Level 3 inputs used in 
valuing the properties are those which are unobservable, as opposed to level 1 (inputs from quoted 
prices) and level 2 (observable inputs either directly, i.e. as prices, or indirectly, i.e. derived from prices).
Valuation techniques 
Based on different approaches for different properties, the following valuation techniques can be 
used for the same class of assets:
The yield methodology valuation technique is used when valuing the Group’s assets which uses 
market rental values capitalised with a market capitalisation rate. The resulting valuations are cross-
checked against the initial yields and the fair market values per square metre derived from actual 
market transactions for similar assets.

Sensitivity analysis
An increase/decrease to ERV will increase/decrease valuations, while an increase/decrease to yield 
will decrease/increase valuations. Sensitivity analysis showing the impact on valuations of changes 
in yields and ERV on the property portfolio (including joint ventures and associates at share) and the 
impact on valuations of changes in development costs on the development property and land 
portfolio (including joint ventures and associates at share) is shown below. 
Management still considers a +/- 25bp change in yield, a +/- 5 per cent change in ERV and a +/- 10 per 
cent change in development costs to be reasonably possible changes to the assumptions.

There are inter-relationships between all these inputs as they are determined by market conditions. 
The existence of an increase in more than one input would be to magnify the impact on the valuation. 
The impact on the valuation will be mitigated by the inter-relationship of two inputs in opposite 
directions, for example, an increase in rent may be offset by an increase in yield. The yield sensitivity is 
based on the equivalent yield which closely aligns with the net true equivalent yield inputs shown in 
the tables below. The tables below includes the Group’s wholly-owned and joint venture and associate 
assets at share in order to include the entire portfolio. The equivalent analysis for the range of inputs 
on a wholly-owned basis would not be significantly different.
For properties under construction and the majority of land held for development, properties are 
valued using a residual method valuation. Under this methodology, the valuer assesses the 
investment value (using the above mentioned methodology for completed buildings). Deductions are 
then made for the total estimated costs to complete, including notional finance costs and developer’s 
profit, to take into account the hypothetical purchaser’s management of the remaining development 
process and their perception of risk with regard to construction and the property market (e.g. as 
regards potential cost overruns and letting risk). Land values are cross-checked against the rate per 
hectare derived from actual market transactions. Other land is also valued on this comparative basis. 
Land values per hectare range from £0.1 million – £41.5 million (2023: £0.1 million – £41.5 million) for 
the UK and £0.1 million – £11.4 million (2023: £0.1 million – £12.7 million) for Continental Europe.
Sustainability valuation considerations
The Group’s valuers, CBRE, note in their valuation report that the impact of sustainability factors on 
valuations have been considered. In a valuation context, ‘sustainability’ encompasses a wide range 
of physical, social, environmental, and economic factors that can affect value of an asset, even if not 
explicitly recognised. The valuers consider the following areas to have the most potential to impact 
on the value of an asset: Energy Performance; Green Certification; Sources of Fuel and Renewable 
Energy Sources and Physical Risk/Climate Risk. The valuers have considered in particular the EPC 
ratings and the appropriate capital expenditure which will be required to obtain the necessary EPC 
rating to attract and maintain the tenants required in the future. The valuers are also aware of the 
impact of flood risk and have noted the impact this has had on potential purchasers.
Climate risk legislation
The UK Government and the EU is currently producing legislation on the transition to net-zero. The UK 
Government is currently producing legislation which enforces the transition to net-zero by 2050, and 
the stated 78 per cent reduction of greenhouse gases by 2035. This is understood to include an 
update to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, stated to increase the minimum requirements 
for non-domestic properties from an E to a B in 2030. The UK Government also intends to introduce 
an operational rating. It is not yet clear how this will be legislated, but fossil fuels used in buildings, 
such as natural gas for heating, are incompatible with the UK’s commitment to be net-zero carbon 
by 2050. This upcoming legislation could have a potential impact to future asset value.
The introduction of mandatory climate-related disclosures in the UK and EU (including ‘Task Force on 
Climate-related Financial Disclosures’ (TCFD) in the UK and ‘Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations’ 
(SFDR) and ‘Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive’ (CSRD) in the EU), including the assessment 
of physical and transition climate risks, may potentially have an impact on how the market views such 
risks and incorporates them into the sale and letting of assets.
Sustainability and climate risk legislation has an impact on the value of an asset, even if not explicitly 
recognised. Where the valuers recognise the value impacts of sustainability and legislation, they are 
reflecting their understanding of how market participants include sustainability and legislation 
requirements in their bids and the impact on market valuations.

The portfolio valuation surplus of 1.1 per cent shown on page 35 of the Strategic Report cannot be 
directly derived from the Financial Statements and is calculated to be comparable with published 
MSCI Real Estate indices against which SEGRO is measured. Based on the Financial Statements there 
is a valuation surplus of £90 million (see Note 8) and property value of £17,770 million (see Note 25) 
giving a valuation surplus of 0.5 per cent. The primary differences are that the portfolio valuation 
surplus shown on page 36 of £186 million excludes the impact of rent free incentives (£26 million, 
0.1 per cent), capitalised interest (£69 million, 0.4 per cent) and other movements (£1 million, 
0.0 per cent).
Total assets under management of £20,296 million (2023: £20,677 million) includes Group total 
properties of £15,244 million (2023: £14,847 million) (see Note 25) and 100 per cent of total properties 
owned by joint ventures and associates of £5,052 million (2023: £5,830 million) (see Note 7(ii)).

Table 5: EPRA Net asset measures
The European Public Real Estate Association (‘EPRA’) best practice recommendations (BPR) for 
financial disclosures by public real estate companies sets out three net asset value measures: EPRA 
net tangible assets (NTA), EPRA net reinstatement value (NRV) and EPRA net disposal value (NDV).
The EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) metric is considered to be most consistent with the nature of 
SEGRO’s business as a UK REIT providing long-term progressive and sustainable returns. EPRA NTA 
acts as the primary measure of net asset value and is also referred to as Adjusted Net Asset Value 
(or Adjusted NAV).
A reconciliation of the three EPRA NAV metrics from IFRS NAV is shown in the table below.

2	 Percentage change has been calculated using numbers accurate to one decimal place.
3	 The like-for-like net rental growth metric is based on properties held throughout both 2024 and 2023 on a proportionally 
consolidated basis. The value of these properties as at 31 December 2024 on a proportional basis was £13,967 million 
(2023: £14,006 million). This provides details of net rental income growth excluding the distortive impact of acquisitions, 
disposals and development completions. Where an asset has been sold into a joint venture (sales to SELP, for example) 
the 50 per cent share owned throughout the period is included in like-for-like calculation, with the balance shown 
as disposals.

1	 Net service charge and other income is calculated as Service charge and other income shown in Note 4, less Service 
charge and other expenses of shown in Note 5.
2	 The composition of gross and net rental income changed in 2022 to provide a better measure of the underlying rental 
income from the property portfolio. Management and development fee income and service charge and other income 
are presented outside of gross and net rental income. There was no impact on Adjusted operating profit before interest 
and tax from this change and the prior year comparatives in the table above have been represented to reflect this change. 
3	 From 2023, SELP performance fees are recognised outside of Adjusted profit, the 2021 comparative was represented to 
reflect this change.

Shareholder information
Withholding tax – PIDs
SEGRO is required to withhold tax at source from its PIDs at the basic tax rate (20 per cent). UK 
shareholders need take no immediate action (unless they qualify for exemption as described below) 
and will receive with each dividend payment a tax deduction certificate stating the amount of 
tax deducted.
UK shareholders who fall into one of the classes of shareholder able to claim an exemption from 
withholding tax may be able to receive a gross PID payment if they have submitted a valid relevant 
Exemption Declaration form, either as a beneficial owner of the shares, or as an intermediary if the 
shares are not registered in the name of the beneficial owner, to Equiniti. Both Exemption Declaration 
forms are available at www.SEGRO.com under Investors/Shareholder Information/REIT. A valid 
declaration form, once submitted, will continue to apply to future payments of PIDs until rescinded, 
and so it is a shareholder’s responsibility to notify SEGRO if their circumstances change and they are 
no longer able to claim an exemption from withholding tax.
Shareholders resident outside the UK may be able to claim a full or partial refund of withholding tax 
(either as an individual or as a company) from HMRC, subject to the terms of a double tax treaty, if any, 
between the UK and the country in which the shareholder is resident.
Ordinary dividends
Ordinary, non-PID dividends will be treated in exactly the same way by shareholders as ordinary 
dividends paid before the Company became a REIT. From 6 April 2016 the notional 10 per cent tax 
credit has been abolished and replaced with a tax-free dividend allowance, which will apply to the 
ordinary, non-PID dividends received by UK resident shareholders who are subject to UK income tax. 
This allowance does not apply to the PID element of dividends. Further information is available from 
HMRC at https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-dividends.
Chequeless dividends
Since January 2021, SEGRO has withdrawn the option for shareholders to receive payments by 
cheque. For more information on how to receive dividends directly into your bank or building society 
account, please visit www.SEGRO.com/investors/shareholder-information/shareholder-faq.
Scrip Dividend 
Shareholders renewed the Directors’ authority to offer a scrip dividend option (Scrip) in respect of 
cash dividends (including those treated as PIDs) at the 2024 AGM. This authority runs for three years 
ending on the earlier of 17 April 2027 and the 2027 AGM. 
Subject to the Board deciding to offer a Scrip, it allows shareholders who elect to receive it, to take 
their final and interim dividends in shares rather than cash. Details of the Scrip, together with 
information on how shareholders can elect to receive it are available on the Company’s website 
www.SEGRO.com. 
The Board has decided not to offer a Scrip alternative in respect of the 2024 Final Dividend.

email notifications of shareholder communications by registering for a Shareview portfolio as detailed

ShareGift
ShareGift is a charity (registered under the name The Orr Mackintosh Foundation, registered charity 
number 1052686) which specialises in accepting donations of small numbers of shares which are 
uneconomic to sell on their own. Shares which have been donated to ShareGift are aggregated and 
sold when practicable, with the proceeds passed on to a wide range of UK charities. ShareGift can 
also help with larger donations of shares. Further details about ShareGift can be obtained from its 
website at www.sharegift.org or by writing to ShareGift at ShareGift, PO Box 72253, London, 
SW1P 9LQ, email: help@sharegift.org, telephone: +44 (0)207 930 3737.
Dividends 
A requirement of the REIT regime is that a REIT must distribute to shareholders by way of dividend at 
least 90 per cent of its profits from its tax-exempt UK property rental business (calculated under UK 
tax principles after the deduction of interest and capital allowances and excluding chargeable gains). 
Such distributions are referred to as Property Income Distributions, or PIDs. Any further distributions 
may be paid as ordinary dividends, which are derived from profits earned by its UK, non-REIT taxable 
business, as well as its overseas operations (including the SIIC in France and SOCIMI in Spain).
