The UK REIT set a baseline year of 2006 against which to measure its carbon emissions, targeting a 19% reduction in its UK portfolio and an 11% reduction in France by 2010. To date it has achieved like-for-like reductions of 15.6% in its UK shopping centre portfolio; 4.8% in UK offices; 17.8% in French shopping centres and 6.7% in French offices.
The results are published in Hammerson's 2008 Corporate Responsibility Report.
