Our Head Office’s Binley More Sustainable Group works together to reduce waste management and energy consumption. This February the Binley teams celebrated a great month for energy management at the Head Office.

Thanks to our real time energy monitoring system installed at Binley, we’re now able to identify opportunities where excess energy is being used, and where we can save, which helps us achieve a return on this investment.

Electricity consumption in February 2026 was 41,300 kWh, which is 8,850 kWh lower than February 2025. This reduction equates to a saving of over 4.2 tonnes of CO2, showing the real impact of the efforts being made across the site. This is the equivalent of to the weight of an adult male elephant, or approximately two SUVs.

Gas consumption also performed exceptionally well, recording its second-lowest level since Binley opened, second only to April 2024. A special mention goes to Mike Cox from CBRE, whose simple step of switching the boiler off over the weekend is making a noticeable difference to both energy use and cost.

A great result for the team – and a reminder that small actions can add up to big environmental benefits.
