- Our goal is that 100% of centres are BREEAM In-Use certified with a minimum level of “Very Good” or higher by year-end 2026.
- In new development and re-development projects Citycon carries out its projects according to international environmental certification processes in order to minimise construction-related environmental impacts.
- All new development projects from 2021 will be BREEAM Excellent certified.
- All development projects use and produce renewable energy. All development projects are connected to public transport and will have charging facilities for electric cars and bicycles. All development projects will have parking spaces for bicycles. Citycon wants to make it easy to visit the centres by environmentally friendly transportation.
Opportunity to impact the environment
Citycon has the opportunity to impact the environment in a positive way through the management and development of its shopping centres. By 2030 we will have no direct carbon emissions from our own buildings and all our purchased energy will be carbon neutral.
The best ways of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the sector are to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, to reduce energy consumption and to increase the use of renewable energy sources in the properties’ energy production and procurement.
