The Broadway Shopping Centre – Environmental Policy

At The Broadway shopping centre we recognise that we have a responsibility to reduce the impact of our operation on the environment wherever possible. Sustainability and reducing environmental impact are central to our business strategy alongside making a difference within our local community.

We are committed to:

• Complying with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations
• Encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour throughout our workforce
• Improving the awareness and understanding of environmental issues amongst contractors, retailers and visitors
• Continually improve by putting sustainability at the centre of operational decision making; incorporating smaller and more substantial changes to centre operations and processes which have a positive environmental impact
• Preventing pollution wherever possible and practicable by developing non-polluting practices

• Sourcing electricity that originates from 100% renewable sources for the centre common areas
• Communicating ways in which the local community can engage and contribute to centre sustainability initiatives
• Setting goals and targets to continually improve our environmental performance

Our Environmental Goals

• Reduce our carbon footprint in line with the current 2030 climate energy framework ambitions by
  • Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions
  • Increasing, where possible, our renewable energy consumption
  • Further increase energy efficiencies across the scheme
• Work with our onsite team, retailers and visitors to promote the waste hierarchy of Prevent, Reduce, Recycle, Recover; therefore, disposing of as little as possible with zero waste to landfill
