Energy efficiency
Our action plan for reducing the environmental impact of our business includes increasing onsite generation of renewable electricity and driving energy use efficiency through our business. To reduce our usage, we are:
- Driving behaviour change within our teams to reduce electricity usage
- Continuing to roll out more energy efficient air handling plant to replace old technology plant
- Maintaining our focus with quarterly Corporate Responsibility Steering Group meetings
- Installing more solar panels on centre roofs with a further ten planned for FY2023

Waste management and recycling
Recycling the waste we produce is part of our commitment to mitigate against the environmental impacts of our operations. In FY2017 we recycled 65.8 per cent of our waste and this has increased to 77.7 per cent for FY2022. All of our waste is 100 per cent diverted from landfill.
Our performance in waste reduction and recycling has been enhanced by behaviour changing incentives including aligning waste management to team members’ bonus allocations. The initiatives have supported an excellent performance with nine centres recycling over 85 per cent of all waste produced; we are now looking to replicate this level of commitment across our estate. On average 77.7 per cent of our waste in FY2022 was recycled compared to 71.6 per cent in FY2021.
Waste volumes were impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown for FY2020 and FY2021.
