Sustainability pledge from Triangle
THE OWNERS of Winnersh Triangle are going green, after revealing their roadmap to reducing carbon emissions.
Frasers Property UK has launched its plan to achieve net zero carbon in Winnersh Triangle, Chineham Park and Farnborough Business Park.
The announcement forms part of its response to the climate emergency.
As part of the plan, the company has highlighted specific eco-friendly commitments to be made in Winnersh to improve health and wellbeing, energy usage and biodiversity.
Ilaria del Beato, CEO of Frasers Property UK, said: “Delivering a positive sustainable impact has never been more important in the current climate.
“Committing to net zero carbon is our largest commitment to date, and one that I am most proud to endorse.
“The improved facilities not only contribute towards our commitments but also bring more benefits for our staff and occupiers, making the parks fantastic places to work.”
To improve health and well-being, the company plans to launch a series of healthy eating initiatives, regular fitness classes and air quality testing.
It also plans to power the park with green energy produced by wind, solar or hydro sources.
Frasers Property UK will install rooftop solar panels across some of its buildings this year, and work with on-site landscape teams to develop biodiversity with bird boxes, beehives and wildlife feeders.
And it has already made a series of sustainable commitments at Winnersh Triangle, including increasing electric car charging points, replacing LED lights and installing cycling facilities.
Ms del Beato added: “While a lot of work has been done already at each of the parks,
I’m looking forward to continuing to see the outcomes of this year’s commitments to take us one step closer to our carbon neutral goal.”
Frasers Property UK hopes to be carbon free across all of its sites by 2050, while achieving net carbon zero across “operational areas of control” by 2030.
