Our Commitments to the Environment
We play an important role in our city and it is part of our responsibility to ensure we protect the environment for future generations to come.
We take pride in protecting and maintaining our natural environment.
We work with the community to increase awareness to encourage responsible environmental behaviour. We are committed to managing our resource consumption, including water and energy, in order to reduce waste and greenhouse gas production and work with partners to improve air quality.
We work with the environment around three pillars:
Waste
Our aim is to maintain 100% zero waste to landfill and encourage the reduction of waste across partners and visitors.
Green Spaces
We work to increase the biodiversity across Liverpool ONE year on year.
Energy & Transport
Our aim is to reduce energy consumption year on year and facilitate green travel options into Liverpool ONE.
We are on a journey working hard to have a positive impact on all our communities and the environment. Find out what else we do around our Commitments to Communities & People as part of our ONE Community ONE Future.
We invite you explore some of the key highlights around the Environment below. See our Environmental Policy Statement here.
