Operational update
L2D’s performance in 2018, the corporate conversion and refreshed strategy were well received by the market in
the first few months of 2019. It has also been encouraging to see that the key indicators of the business continue
to show a steady upwards trajectory, especially vacancies and trading densities. The share price performed well
in April 2019 and outperformed both the SAPY and All Share.
L2D’s vision to be the leading South African precinct focused, retail-centred REIT remains relevant and the
leadership is committed to drive it forward with passion to capture the opportunities of the fast-changing
environment. L2D has a clear and focused strategy that is captured in the strategic pillars being: driving the future
proofing of our assets, passionate people and grow to make an impact. There are five building blocks embedded
within the driving to future proofing our assets strategic pillar, which are embracing technology, time is valuable,
curating experiences, community place making and sustainable and flexible.
As announced to the press today, L2D is taking a bold step to eradicate plastic shopping bags across its malls by
1 January 2020. L2D believes that the future of retail is defined by a continued adaption of standards that meet
national and global sustainability goals. The company has therefore embedded sustainability values into the fabric
of the organisation to deliver on these essentials and to achieve its vision of a Net Zero sustainability target by
2030, which sees the reduction of usage of energy and water as well as an efficient waste management system.
The commitment of L2D’s valued tenants, many of whom have already made this declaration publicly, will be
crucial in implementing the policy. The production of plastic, particularly single-use plastics is one of the
environment’s greatest risks, having reached an epidemic proportion.
This operational update has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s external auditors. L2D will be
hosting a pre-close conference call at 14h00 on Tuesday, 28 May 2019 and will provide further details on its
operational performance at that time.
