Sustainability
We're passionate about creating sustainable and responsible places
Russell LDP
We have a places-based approach. We are passionate about creating sustainable places, which support the local community, improve the natural environment, and enhance the wellbeing of building users.
We demonstrate our sustainability agenda through industry recognised accreditations, and through well considered, thoughtful and responsible design, at every stage of the project.
Our target is to operate at 100% carbon neutrality by 2038 - from the developments we design and deliver, to our overall business operations.
We are already on the way towards achieving this goal, with a number of strategies in place across the Russells group, including;
Installing photovoltaic panels at our head office
Sourcing renewable energy tariffs for our head office
Decarbonising by switching to electric vehicles
Sustainable features included as standard with every industrial development.
