Future proofing at wells&more 🌱⚡ A significant step forward in decarbonising our portfolio, this project at wells&more replaces the existing HVAC system with a fully electric, energy-efficient solution. 🔑 Key highlights: ✅ Air & water source heat pumps – 2 multipipe air sourced and 2 water source heat pumps working in a cascaded system. ✅ All-electric transition – no more on-site gas, eliminating emissions. ✅ All the electricity we procure is through Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) to ensure this transition maximises the reduction in carbon. ✅ Smart efficiency – a BMS package from Trane ensures optimised performance and monitoring. ✅ Completed in October 2024 – the system is live and energy performance is being tracked. This project is not just about improving operational efficiency—it reflects our commitment to future-ready, fully electric buildings.

Following the announcement of our Circularity Scores back in November of last year, we have been really encouraged by the level of engagement and conversations we have been able to start across the industry. Our Senior Sustainability Lead, Frank Blande , was invited to present at the first Finishes and Interiors Sector Sustainability Leadership session of 2025 to talk through our sustainability journey with a particular focus on our ambitions for the circular economy. It was a great opportunity to talk to representatives from the finishes and interiors sector, as well as hear about all of the positive initiatives going on in the fit out space.
