Progress and achievements
We will report on the progress of each of our projects to cut carbon emissions and improve environmental performance, publishing key performance indicators relating to energy use, carbon emissions and waste management. We will also include information about initiatives to reduce energy use in both the common areas and the occupied areas.
Fit-out waste management
97% of fit-out waste at 201 Bishopsgate and The Broadgate Tower has been recycled or re-used as a result of a collaborative approach to fit-out waste management.*
“The collaboration at 201 Bishopsgate is achieving excellent waste recycling rates through on-site segregation of materials and a coordinated approach to waste management. This has been achieved by British Land, Broadgate Estates, the occupiers and the waste management contractor working together. We hope to see this partnership approach adopted on more fit-outs, to reduce materials use, increase recycling and cut waste to landfill.”
Benefits resulting from this collaboration*
- Reduced overall costs for occupiers
- 97% of fit-out waste re-used or recycled
- 1,100 tonnes of waste saved from landfill
- Increased efficiency of operation
- Safer and cleaner working environment during fit-out
- Good risk management and compliance with waste legislation
