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

Energy consumption In 2020, our electricity consumption was 2,995,282 kWh, which is an 11% reduction from 2019. This reduction is equivalent to supplying energy for 122 houses. Water usage We have saved 36% on our water consumption, which is the equivalent to 2 Olympic sized swimming pools. 

Recycling We recycled 62% of our waste recycled. There was 764 tonnes recycled which is the equivalent weight of 4 blue whales.

Our key projects in 2021 include: 

• Reducing electricity consumption with improvements to our ventilation and lighting systems.

• Increasing recycling rates and reducing carbon generated from transport emissions through on-site food recycling.

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

• Increasing biodiversity through various projects around the centre
