Environment

We have a clear obligation to protect the environment.As a shopping centre, our influence on the environment is considerable. Whilst our primary responsibility is to our customers and retailers, we also have an obligation to protect the environment. Our initiatives are guided by our environmental policy as outlined on the attached PDF.

This centre is currently working towards obtaining the BSI PAS99 standard. BSI 14001 Environmental Management System (the internationally recognised standard for environmental management) is now incorporated as part of PAS99; ensuring environmental impacts are managed effectively, reducing carbon emissions, introducing renewable energy sources, increasing recycling and minimising water usage help to minimize our environmental footprint.

GRASS Roots

The Green Gym project was part of PRUPIM’s Grass Roots programme, a series of environmental improvement projects, which transform urban wasteland in areas close to shopping centres managed by PRUPIM, which in Dundee is the Wellgate Shopping Centre.

The aim of the Dundee Green Gym was for local residents and community groups to transform a derelict site into a thriving local community garden, to be enjoyed by all of Dundee’s residents. The work at the site gave local people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to develop skills in gardening, conservation and wildlife.

If people are interested in the scheme they should contact the Wellgate Shopping Centre management team.
