MAIN BODY
1. Explain the Triple bottom line of Land Securities Group Plc.
Triple bottom line can be explained as a business concept which posit the enterprise must
commit for measurement of their environmental as well as social impact in relation to their
finance based performances rather than individually focusing on generating revenues or
profitable situation. The association weakens moral standards, it creates a new and extraordinary
experience for the individual. The association is dealing with environmental changes and further
working for local differences. The same applies to associations whose maintainability makes
sense below (Viswanadham, 2018).
Setting out positions and open doors: By making more positions expands the way of life. It
helps in drawing in incredible ability and labour force to the association. It builds responsibility
and authority by working on the picture in the public eye.
Productive and convincing utilization of normal assets: The organization works to limit the
impact of its programs on the global climate, in addition, it further develops the climate with the
goal of promoting life on Earth.

Invention and maintainable design: Bringing more value to clients by making accessible
spaces more helpful and productive for working and nurturing areas that contribute to climate
and business areas .
Commercial concerns are also dwindling to net zero, meaning nothing by-products from
fossil fuels in general. The organization has added Net Zero to its portfolio of functions, and it
will work at 100% inexhaustible power and further increase the number of sustainable assets in
the association. Reduce fossil fuel by-products associated with development activities. Balance
carbon use by utilizing sustainable energy sources. The association, which has become the
planet's premier property organization, has embarked on its science-based goal drive
(Treiblmaier and Beck eds., 2019).
2. Compare the financial statement based on ratios calculated.
There are many ratios calculated as under which would help in management of liquidity,
solvency, efficiency and profitability as well. They help in comparing results over a period of
time among various companies that would be helpful in examination of activities being
performed and taken.
Liquidity Ratio: This percentage represents the liquidity of the business, which includes
ongoing resources owned by the association and monies owed to the company's lessees.
Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities
In year 2019 = 524 / 1225
= 0.43: 1
In year 2020 = 1859 / 1249
= 1.49: 1
Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities
In year 2019 = 501 / 1225
= 0.41: 1
In year 2020 = 1835 / 1249
= 1.44: 1
Interpretation: From the above ratios one tends to infer that the company was unable to generate
sufficient current resources in 2019, but the association's continuing resources have expanded in
the following monetary years.

Profitability ratio: This ratio helps determine the money gambling associated with the
association. It also assesses the limits of an organization's ability to create benefits. This ratio
takes into account monetary records, expressions of interest and misfortune, and investor value
to assess the productivity of the association. It contrasts the presentation of the organization and
the organization of past exhibitions (Sharma and Soederberg, 2020).
Gross Profit = Gross profit / Sales * 100
In year 2019 = (-40 / 757) * 100
= (-0.05284) * 100
= -5.28 %
In year 2020 = (-690 / 741) * 100
= (0.9311) * 100
= -93.11 %
Net Profit = Net Profit / Sales * 100
In year 2019 = (-123 / 757) * 100)
= (-0.1624) * 100
= -16.24 %
In year 2020 = (-119 / 741) * 100)
= (-0.1605) * 100
= -16.05 %
Interpretation: As you can see from the ratios above, the group is causing misfortune and
expanding further over the next year. The association's net gain shows that the company has
experienced further misfortune as the company has suffered due to high work costs.
Solvency Ratio: This ratio is a key part of currency gambling and helps determine a company's
currency position. It determines its ability to deal with its continuing outstanding debt.
Debt equity Ratio = Debt / Equity
In year 2019 = 2889 / 9920
= 0.29 Times
In year 2020 = 4361 / 8750
= 0.50 Times
Interest Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest and tax / Interest on long term debt
In year 2019 = 40 / (10)

= -4
In year 2020 = 690 / (165)
= -4.18
Interpretation: From the above estimations it tends to be examined that the association involves
greater value when contrasted with the obligation it very well may be seen that the proportion
has expanded by 0.21 times which implies that the organization is expanding the utilization of
obligation when contrasted with value for supporting the business tasks.
Efficiency Ratio: This ratio determines how effectively an association can use its assets to
conduct transactions. Associations use these ratios to understand how to use resources efficiently
to create transactions (Quan and Sanderson, 2018).
Stock turnover ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
In year 2019 = 271 / 23
= 11.78 Times
In year 2020 = 274 / 24
= 10.29 Times
Interpretation: As can be seen from the above, the company is in the business of property, that
is to say, the load of the organization is the property that the association can use. In the
accompanying case, the agency's stock turnover ratio fell from 11.78 times to 10.29 times.
3. Justify and detailed the KPIs of Land Securities Group Plc.
Discover and gain a comprehensive understanding of areas of capability that require
action to improve the future of your business. These are influenced by innovative work to
identify important areas where organisations are currently working or taking action in the future
(Orji, 2019).
Social Beliefs: In 2020, this is definitely the first year that the powers of the Land
Conservation Conference go beyond the social beliefs of effort. Given the KPIs that help and
control the business, companies develop effective strategies to drive the mission. Outsider
information providers help to verify suspicions and prosecutorial values related to association
convictions. The area is very broad in these areas and the company is open to other more
improvements and value additions to the area

Security: Companies send well-being determinants to different gatherings, it is secure for
web-based business arrangements. It is important for the organization to believe in its intrinsic
qualities to gather the personal details of the association to understand the areas where the
company needs to play out to work (Oldman and Tomkins, 2018).
4. Describe the Corporate Social Responsibility Pyramid of Land Securities Group Plc.
It can be described as a framework which helps to understand Working of companies and
organisations and how they are liable towards social responsibilities. Corporate friendly
obligations are essentially an understanding of the four stages of corporate social obligations,
which include: economic, legal, material and monetary guidance obligations. These
commitments are depicted very point-by-point below:
Monetary Obligations: Very low belief in the pyramid that describes an organization's
production environment. It includes tasks that are productive for the organization or important
tasks that make them beneficial. In the absence of this stage, the company will not be able to
proficiently provide benefits and workers .
Legal obligation: In the second example of an obligation, an important organization follows
an order to properly tolerate an attempt to organize an exercise. The basic obligation of the
association is to comply with every guideline and guideline of the public authorities and to
implement it on time. They must comply with the various regulations included therein;
organizational regulations and fee guidelines. Companies need to compare these regulations and
actually look at the obligations of the association model.
Important Obligations: The third stage of the pyramid describes the levels of the pyramid
that characterize the important activities and ethical principles that an organization must follow.
It also describes the mental state of the association and its errands for workers and traditional
people. In the accompanying contextual analysis, the business is running a centralized game plan
to provide careers to individuals who are effectively looking for work (Mosteanu, 2020).
Monetary Guidance Obligation: This is one of the most limited parts of the high-level
pyramid, and since companies are often constrained by hardware, it is important for
organizations to execute work movements after carbon is released. Therefore, in the
accompanying outline, the business is undertaking serious innovation work that will help reduce
the carbon generated by the organisational approach.

5. Measure the contestant of Land Securities Group Plc.
Land Securities Group Ltd is a very large bona fide state and development association in
the UK that creates and handles workplaces, client retail and entertainment areas.
Fundamentally, there are three main players in the market, for example, the Capital Retail Group,
the Canary Wharf Group and the British Land Corporation b.
Capital shopping centres group plc is a speculative association that manages its layout in the
real estate sector, and these associations own the organization in the organization's portfolio.
Fundamentally, this company has the ability to create and handle a nation's provincial shopping
districts. It provides equal competition to different areas of bargaining in true SOEs.
Canary wharf group is an unusually large association and facilitates the largest metropolitan
restoration project in the country. The Commercial Private Estate Association is self-employed
and the chief engineer is responsible for the entertainment. Fundamentally, it is also the biggest
contender for other land areas. The basic goal of the association is to transform metropolitan
attractions into uncommon environmental factors.
The British land organization is founded in 1856, it is also in the real estate business, it is the
largest and largest association with excellent commercial property arrangements, it owns, creates
and finances the commercial sector. Its land profile builds and nurtures recreational areas, shops,
customer retail and department stores. The UK Land Corporation includes directly claimed land
as well as property held through risky and speculative reserves. This group is an extremely great
danger from different regions that are also bargaining for land (Hedvall, Jagstedt and Dubois,
2019).
6. Explained the Balance Scorecard of the Land Securities Group Plc.
Balanced scorecard can be explained in such a way that it helps in managing strategic
management related performance metric which would help organisations in identifying and
improving their internal operational work as well for providing a helping hand in their external
results. There are 4 perspectives taken in consideration which are customer, learning, financial
and growth as well. This balanced scorecard idea is better than acknowledging the four attributes
of an organization. These scorecards include an arrangement of four inquiries, namely how to
observe how client organizations, investors and partners perceive the company, in which tasks
the organization excels, and how to obtain high-value credit and improve its intended career
(Frishammar and Parida, 2019).

Some organizations have effectively recognized the venerable scorecard. Their potential
association with the scorecard suggests that it addresses some different management needs. First,
the Scorecard fuses in a single management report various distinctly distinct components of an
organization's relentless work: as buyer orientation, reducing response time, focusing on
decision-making, emphasizing collaboration, reducing new business acceptance time and
screening, No matter how often feasible. A robust scorecard contains money-related measures
that report the results of past activities. Then, financial measures with useful proportions for
customer authenticity, internal circulation, improvement promotion, etc. are formed, and
combined with measures of practical utility, this is the execution system related to money in the
future. While following and working with many companies, it confirms that senior leadership
will not accept one measure to condemn another. They realized that there was no single measure
that would show a specific display of goals or focus on key areas of the association. Regulators
need to reasonably demonstrate cash and useful measures (Freudenreich and Schaltegger, 2020).
For example: companies can reduce exhibition time with two completely unique designs: by
successfully hosting new planned exhibitions or by only offering events that are gradually
different from the current mission. Programming costs can be reduced by reducing programming
time or detonating bundle size. In addition, starting projects and first pass rates may appear, but
increases may be due to fluctuations in practice to highly prescriptive, easier-to-supply, but less
fringe, projected tasks (Foss and Saebi, 2018).
CONCLUSION
The report prepared above helps to understand what have been the finance related
performance and results provided by the company to its users engaged in market, it explains
importance of triple bottom line and why it must be adapted and what could be its related uses as
well. The report serves as a guide for understanding how a business can create its value and add
more value to it as well. It is important for every company to compute its finance based ratios
which would help to examine and study its related performance on the basis of liquidity,
profitability and solvency as well. It helps managers to know and have an idea about where the
business is lacking behind and how the performance can be improved in meanwhile. It would be
necessary keeping environmental, social and financial parts in mind and work accordingly. There
are 3 P's counted in TBL that are Planet, people and profits as well which would help to have a

clarity about working and functioning of company in long run too. It also helps to minimize
unwanted risk and cost and increase the level of income in desired way.
