MEPC believes that a comprehensive and clearly articulated approach to responsible investment, development and management is an essential step to addressing the growing CSR changes that exist within the property market and indeed the wider business community. Accordingly we have adopted a sustainability policy that is practised through-out all our business communities.

The adherence to our sustainability policy is conducted through our sustainability action plan.

Through this we execute, monitor and report each quarter on a wide variety of activities which broadly fall under three categories:

• Utility and Energy Usage
• Water Usage
• Waste & Recycling

In partnership with our customers, we continually seek to pursue new and better ways of reducing the impact of the built environment under our control. The benefits manifest themselves in cost efficiencies, business improvements and community engagement.

MEPC’s people are trained on a variety of Health & Safety, Risk Management and environmental issues and are encouraged to continually trial new ideas.

The aim is to be at the forefront of industry thinking so that businesses and the people that work for them can themselves best pursue their own CSR ambitions.

More specifically to Birchwood Park, Warrington, as well as the environmental aspects of sustainability within the business park, we give full consideration to the social and economic elements. That is why Birchwood Park, Warrington has been designed to operate as a socially cohesive place for people to work, with easy access through multiple transport options, and an empowered local management team working to build strong long-term relationships with all stakeholders.

At Birchwood Park, Warrington great importance is attached to the environmental impact of the buildings themselves, whether new or refurbished, throughout their lifecycle. It is our policy to rigorously benchmark and evaluate all aspects of sustainability within the business park, and ensure their continual improvement year on year.
