ENERGY AND CARBON REDUCTION
Several energy efficiency and carbon reduction initiatives have been introduced across our corporate, construction and operational site activities including: • Home Quality Mark (HQM) 4 Star and BREEAM Excellent certification targets, which incorporate the implementation of energy efficiency and low carbon measures, including: • Fossil fuel free energy strategies • Energy sub-metering • Low and zero carbon technologies • Roll out of hybrid generators with fuel & solar powered batteries to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions from temporary power requirements during construction • Launched a consolidated low carbon logistics hub to reduce the carbon footprint of goods and materials delivered to our Stafford Yard site in Bristol • A salary sacrifice scheme for employees to join either the Cycle to Work Scheme or purchase a low-carbon electric or hybrid vehicle Further work on energy and carbon performance across our corporate and site activities will be informed by our NZC Strategy.
CONSOLIDATED LOGISTICS HUB, STAFFORD YARD We introduced a low-carbon logistics hub to service Stafford Yard. The hub received materials for the site and these materials were then loaded onto our electric vans by an electric telehandler and delivered to site for offloading by the mains power supplied tower cranes. This initiative significantly reduced the number of vehicles delivering to the site, helping reduce congestion in the city centre - especially during peak periods. This all had a positive impact on transport-related carbon emissions around the Bedminster area.
Being Net Zero ready and delivering future-proofed
homes is an essential part of the quality and value proposition in today’s marketplace, and our preparations for Net Zero Carbon are central to Dandara Living’s mission to be recognised and chosen as the leading provider of great places to live, work and grow. We also recognise that along with the wider industry, we have an important role to play in delivering sustainable development, whilst helping to meet the climate and environmental challenges ahead. We have a collective responsibility to work collaboratively across the business, value chain and alongside industry groups on our carbon reduction journey.
