Kinney Green Clean City Award – Gold and Special Commendation

The Kinney Green Clean City Award success highlights our continued commitment to responsible waste management and sustainability. This year, Kinney Green Property Management has gone one better in the Clean City Award Scheme. As a result, we retained one Gold Award and also achieved a Gold Award with Special Commendation.

The Clean City Award Scheme (CCAS) promotes awareness of responsible waste management among businesses across the City of London. In addition, it recognises organisations that take active steps to reduce waste and improve environmental performance.

Our building managers have played a key role in achieving this recognition. For example, they continue to introduce new initiatives and work closely with occupiers. Here is what they had to say:

Jerry Paddon – Fleet Place
“We retained this award by continuing to manage our waste in a professional manner, with none of our waste going to landfill. Furthermore, in 2018 we are extending our green credentials by introducing food waste and coffee ground collections with one of our largest occupiers. As a result, through tenant liaison, our occupiers are switching to reusable cups, which will reduce waste further.”

Del Shadid – Monument Street
“We have engaged with our tenants by inviting our waste management partners to attend meetings. This supports the aims of the CCAS and, in turn, promotes the importance of recycling. This year, we will carry out an audit into food waste and explore how to ensure it is disposed of sustainably.”

Alongside waste management, we continue to focus on improving energy efficiency. Following this, and after the introduction of MEES, we are exploring alternative ways to reduce energy consumption across our properties. In addition, we work closely with occupiers to identify areas where energy use can be reduced and environmental performance improved.

This Kinney Green Clean City Award achievement reflects the dedication of our teams and our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Overall, we will continue to develop innovative solutions to reduce waste and improve energy efficiency across our portfolio.
