Land Securities has a target to reduce average CO2 emissions from the managed portfolio by 30% by 2020 (compared to 2000/2001). This will lead to interim reduction targets by March 2013 of 5.8% for Shopping Centres and 8.4% for Retail Parks. In order to reach this target, each of the Land Securities sites including Westgate Shopping Centre are undergoing an extensive Energy Audit program which highlights any potential energy saving measures or improvements that have not yet been captured.
