Being Green

Bowlplex has a strong and genuine commitment to the environment which ensures that we conduct our business in an environmentally responsible manner.

We believe that corporate environmental performance is not just about being a responsible employer and stakeholder in the economy; it also makes sound business sense.

Environmental responsibility means that our actions comply with the relevant environmental legislation. However, we’ve taken this a step further and now strive to minimise our impact on the environment in everything that we do.

We’ve worked consistently hard to ensure that we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint and we are proud of our success. Towards the end of 2008 we opened two new centres and even with growth within the business, in 2009 we reduced our footprint by over 23% compared to 2006.

We have been efficient in:

• Reviewing building management control systems to reduce wastage.
• Investing in low energy lighting. We have spent almost £50K and changed almost all our lighting to low energy versions.
• Spent almost £100,000 fitting inverters on air handling motors.
• Energy usage figures and graphics are provided to all centres, raising awareness and improving efficiency at each site.
• Recycling includes cardboard and glass with other materials under review.

We are constantly striving to reduce the power and resources we use. We are presently working on a number of projects that will further significantly reduce our environmental impact and boost our green credentials.

Overall whilst energy unit costs are projected to increase, the environmental footprint of Bowlplex centres will continue to shrink. Our unrelenting desire to follow our commitment to environmentally sustainable practices will enable Bowlplex to achieve continued success.
