Britain’s ‘biggest landlord’ to go carbon neutral (28 March 2007)

One of the United Kingdom’s largest property developers has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2008/9, according to a report published on Wednesday.

In its new Corporate Responsibility Report, British Land PLC outlines its initiatives aimed at reducing energy and associated CO2 emissions in landlord-controlled areas.

In 2006, energy usage reduced by 4% across the portfolio and water by 16 per cent. The biggest CO2 improvements came from the London Offices portfolio. Meadowhall Shopping Centre, one of British Land’s largest assets, reduced energy consumption by 11%. The report also sets ambitious targets for 2007 in areas including biodiversity, waste management and community involvement.

Very cool, moving towards Carbon neutral business is great for British Land and should encourage others to follow suit.
