Our Environmental Movement

We are on a continuous mission to ensure we are operating our business in an environmentally conscious way.

Discover more below about the progress we have made and the commitments we continue to make to our environmental movement.

Our Vision

To become a green, environmentally friendly venue – continually reducing our carbon footprint, water consumption, and waste production, ensuring our venues have the most positive impact on our community and environment.

Our Mission

To harness the power of people to create positive environmental change at our venues, empowering them to ensure that what we do today does not impact the lives of future generations.

Resposible

We Are Responsible

  • We divert 100% of our waste from landfills, of which 63% is recycled, and the remaining is used to create energy for community housing and businesses
  • From day one, we provide ongoing environmental awareness training to our teams
  • We have hydration stations throughout our venues to allow refills
  • Our charging stations will support EV guests visiting our venues
  • We are surveying our air quality to help our people stay healthy

Reduce

We Reduce

  • We use smart meters to monitor and reduce our energy usage wherever possible
  • The architectural design was based around using as much natural day light, natural cooling and heating as is possible
  • The Building Management System (BMS) allows us to control all major equipment to manage the conditioning of the building to match occupancy

Repurpose

We Repurpose

  • Bacteria consume the food we waste via anaerobic digestion, creating renewable energy in the local community
  • We repurpose our waste oil into biodiesel, which reduces carbon emissions by 88% compared to fossil fuels
  • We use combined heat and power to generate energy for our venues
