Environment

We have a clear obligation to protect the environment. As a shopping centre, our influence on the environment is considerable. Whilst our primary responsibility is to our customers and retailers, we also have an obligation to protect the environment.

Manchester Arndale has being awarded the BSI PAS99 standard which incorporates the BSI 14001 Environmental Management System (the internationally recognised standard for environmental management) ensuring environmental impacts are managed effectively, reducing carbon emissions, introducing renewable energy sources, increasing recycling and minimising water usage help to minimize our environmental footprint.

Our Environmental Pledge

We will RAISE awareness, INCREASE recycling and help Manchester Arndale REDUCE the impacts on the environment.

ENERGY - We intend to reduce our energy consumption by using energy saving alternatives where possible, we have already implemented PIR sensors to our back of house and service road lighting and currently looking at changes to our mall lighting.

WATER  - Our toilets, urinals and basis all around the centre for staff, retailers and shoppers use water. We have implemented Flush Wisers to reduce water usage in staff and customer toilets and urinals.

WASTE - Recycling points are signed with a colour-coded bin system, which allows our retailers to segregate plastic, cans, paper and cardboard, food and help Manchester Arndale to increase recycling.  All retailers are equipped with in house recycle boxes to capture recyclables which would normally be thrown into general waste bins in staff areas.

GREEN TRAVEL - We have introduced our Green Travel Plan which helps us to recognise more sustainable ways of travel for both staff and customers. This is supported by building partnerships with local organisations such as Bike Right and supporting campaigns like the Carbon Cycle and addressing public transport travel options and car sharing.

We continue to raise awareness for all the above with campaigns and the support of local and national events.  For more information about some interesting “green” facts about Manchester Arndale please download the attached PDF.
