Environmental Policy
AT BRENT CROSS
Brent Cross is London's premier retail destination and is owned by Hammerson plc and Standard Life. The centre is managed by Hammerson, one of Europe's leading property investment and development companies, whose principal activities include the acquisition, development, and management of commercial and retail properties. Brent Cross recognises the importance of taking a proactive, strategic approach to environmental management and, with Hammerson, strives to be at the forefront of this area of management within our sector.
We comply with all relevant legislation and other requirements to which Brent Cross subscribes, and strive to exceed legal and other requirements where possible. By conducting periodic internal and independent reviews of our progress, as well as through engagement with stakeholders, we aim to achieve continual improvement.
Our pursuit of excellence is facilitated by our Environmental Management System, which enables the targeting and public reporting of our environmental performance. Along with ensuring compliance in our daily operations, Hammerson sets rigorous annual targets for Brent Cross to work toward and we monitor our performance focussing on the following key objectives:
To substantially reduce our carbon footprint
To reduce waste and increase recycling
To maximise the efficiency of our use of natural resources
To prevent pollution and contamination wherever possible
This policy will be made available to all, but in particular to all employees, advisors, and contractors who have a key role to play if Brent Cross is to meet its environmental policy commitments and objectives. In support of this, we will provide employees, advisors and contractors with information on environmental procedures, as well as appropriate training. The policy may be viewed on Brent Cross' website, internal IT system, or in hardcopy in the centre management lobby.
Responsibility for overall governance and implementation of this policy lies with Brent Cross' senior management team, which is also tasked with periodically reviewing the policy and its objectives to ensure applicability and adherence to best practice. Responsibility for overseeing this policy and ensuring it is upheld lies with the General Manager of Brent Cross, Tom Nathan who gives full support to its implementation.
