Sustainability

In 2021 we achieved the below savings in comparison 2019:

Energy consumption

Our electricity consumption was 2,192,016 kWh, which is an 28% reduction from 2019. This reduction is equivalent to supplying energy for 187 houses.

Water usage

We have saved 40% on our water consumption, which is the equivalent to 3 Olympic sized swimming pools.

Recycling

We recycled 66.55% of our waste with 0% going to Landfill.

Socio-economic

Our Positive Places Plan created each year underpins our community engagement activity.

Through engagement with local schools, partners and stakeholders, we build a positive relationship with the local community.

Our key projects in 2022 include: 

Reducing electricity and gas consumption with continual monitoring and adjustments.

Increasing recycling rates and reducing carbon generated from transport emissions through donating food to local organisation which otherwise would have gone into our waste streams.

Increasing biodiversity through various projects around the centre including our beehives and community garden.

Our PV array (solar panels) continue to produce large amounts of electricity improving our use of renewable energy sources.

We plan to engage local community members by supporting local initiatives such as The Brock Burn Festival and the reopening of The Burrell Collection.
