Sustainability

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.

Developing a green travel infrastructure has always been important to us and so far we’ve brought a new tram

stop to our city, increased bus routes and frequency, and helped to expand cycleways.
