Being green and
clean at MediaCityUK
is important to us
We were awarded the status of the first sustainable
community in the world by BREEAM in 2011 – one of our
most innovative measures was the delivery of our own
tri-generation power plant which helps to heat, cool and
power the buildings at the heart of MediaCityUK.
In 2013, we won the Sustainability and Environmental
Impact Award along with partners Cofely, presented by
the British Institute of Facilities Management.
