At The Meads Shopping Centre, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable future. We recognise that our day-to-day operations affect the environment, and we aim to make a positive difference through responsible management of energy, waste, and resources.
To support this, we are working towards achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and have implemented clear practices to help us get there.
Here’s what we’re doing:
- Following the rules. We comply with all relevant environmental and energy regulations.
- Protecting the planet. We work to reduce pollution and prevent environmental harm wherever possible.
- Saving energy. We monitor our energy use and aim to reduce consumption by using energy-efficient systems and sourcing renewable energy where possible.
- Reducing waste. We minimise waste, recycle wherever we can, and maintain our zero waste to landfill goal.
- Choosing better products. We look for sustainable products and suppliers that align with our values.
- Supporting green design. We aim to improve the environmental performance of our buildings and systems.
- Planning for risks. We assess environmental risks and have plans in place to respond to any incidents quickly and effectively.
- Encouraging biodiversity. We support local nature through planting schemes, habitat protection, and other green initiatives.
- Working with tenants. We explore green lease agreements and encourage sustainable practices among our occupiers.
- Measuring progress. We track our performance and look for ways to improve, with support from our management team and sustainability advisors.
This policy applies to everyone working at or on behalf of The Meads Shopping Centre. It’s reviewed regularly and made available to all staff, contractors, and visitors through our website and centre management team.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to protect the environment.
