Reduction Target

Over 80% of our tenants have joined our Growing Greener initiative, reducing CO₂ by nearly 3,000 tonnes and saving over 3,500 m³ of water annually. These improvements help tenants cut costs by around 31% and build a greener business model

Take a look at our Utilities, Energy & Carbon reduction headlines below.

Water – Going to great lengths

Reducing our water usage is a priority. Since January 2025, we have saved 2,395 cubic metres of water. That’s the equivalent of one Olympic sized swimming pool.

Electric – Electrifying figures

Since January 2025 we have reduced our electricity usage by 920 megawatt hours. That’s the equivalent of powering 320 UK homes a year.

Gas

Since January 2025 we have reduced our gas consumption by 7%, helped by a milder winter. This is equivalent to 7 petrol cars a year.

Lighting – Energy-Efficient Upgrades

We’ve replaced lighting across four car parks with LED systems and improved escalator and lift efficiency. Inside, our “Switch Me Off” campaign and natural ventilation strategies, along with energy-efficient lifts and escalators, contribute to cutting our centre’s carbon footprint.

Future projects include install of PV Solar Panels to provide green electricity in 2026.

Since January 2023 to December 2024 we have seen:
