JOHN LEWIS CREATES ITS MOST SUSTAINABLE STORE EVER

摘要

Paul Paterson, sustainability design manager at LateralTechnologies, explains, 'Although the government has ambitious carbon reduction targets in place, John Lewis wants to go beyond this to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 15% across all its stores by 2020.' He adds,'Because the retailer is growing and adding new shops, achieving this target means the carbon emissions for new shops must be 30% less than similar existing shops. So when we were asked to help develop John Lewis York, a new ?15m department store in Vangarde Shopping Park, we knew incorporating outstanding sustainability features from the outset would be a key priority.'
