Shop Fits and Contractors

  • At design stage we emphasise to incoming tenants to give consideration for replacement lighting and, if applicable, food preparation appliances
  • Building materials items such as timber, MDF & plastic products are mainly manufactured by suppliers with NCZ in mind
  • We work with Shop Fit Contractors to segregate their waste for recycling, as opposed to sending to landfill
  • We encourage the use of re-usable hoardings by shop fit contractors and have implemented our own fabric hoarding to use wherever possible
  • We ask that contractors, where possible, only use battery operated power tools

100% paperless departments

In 2020 we launched a new trackforce app which gives us the ability to make our cleaning and security departments 100% paperless. This app allows our teams to manage fault logging, accident reports, customer feedback and complete H&S tours. This system allows real time reporting and instant modification straight from either Android or iPhone.

Cleaning Consumables

Our cleaning consumables supplier, Bunzl’s, unique position in the supply chain means they are well placed to provide us with credible and expert advice. They are not wedded to any specific materials or products, so can provide an objective overview of the best solutions for each challenge through:

  • Dedicated teams of plastics and sustainability experts
  • Training programmes to proactively help us understand our sustainability challenges
  • Providing the data we need to participate in external schemes and report against our targets
  • Supporting us to help strengthen recycling and reuse systems to secure end of life options for their products

Cleaning Consumables

Uniform Express, our centre staff uniform supplier, have initiatives in place to address each stage of the life cycle of their garments. Our soft services partner, Bidvest Noonan (UK), have started working with them on the disposal of uniforms as a priority and will kick off more initiatives as part of their 2023 Scope 3 carbon reduction plan.
