At Brent Cross we are working with Hammerson to reduce our environmental impact. 

Energy consumption In 2019, our electricity consumption was 3,232,843 kWh, which is a 4% reduction from 2018. This reduction is equivalent to supplying energy for 39 houses. Water usage We have saved 17% on our water consumption, which is the equivalent to 1.459 Olympic sized swimming pools. 

Recycling We recycled 69% of our waste recycled. There was 2,045 tonnes recycled which is the equivalent weight of 13 blue whales.

Our key projects in 2020 include: 

• Reducing electricity consumption with improvements to our  ventilation and lighting systems and the introduction of a renewable energy system. 

• Increasing recycling rates through improved operational controls and addition waste stream collection.

• Continuing to work with our partners to engage with educational facilities and develop work based skills.
