Environmental Management
At CrownGate we care about the enviroment and we believe it is our responsibility to operate as a lean and enterprising Shopping Centre that uses its resources efficiently.
We aim to minimise emissions to land, air and water, to curb the production of waste, to increase recycling and to conserve and enhance the centre's architectural and historical value.
We strive to achieve a zero carbon footprint by reducing our own carbon emissions and encouraging our customers to do similarly. We believe that climate change presents both physical and regulatory risks to our business, and to society as a whole, in the medium and longer term.
As part of The Crown Estate, CrownGate Shopping Centre aims to achieve the highest standards of environmental stewardship in all its activities.
