Driving positive change in the system with Hammerson

Renewable energy plays a vital role in Hammerson’s net zero strategy, having already contributed to a 20% reduction in their carbon footprint by 2020. Now, it is key to achieving their next, more ambitious goal: becoming net positive for carbon emissions, water demand, resource use and socio-economic impacts by 2030.

When exploring renewable energy options, Hammerson found that the cost-difference between renewable energy and the standard grid provision was minimal, making it easier to procure.  

Through partnership with SmartestEnergy, they receive a competitive price for clean, green electricity. Since a portion of these costs is recharged to tenants through service charges, we enable Hammerson to fulfil their obligation to provide the best value for money while still sourcing 100% renewable energy. 

Beyond cost considerations, it was our responsiveness, data availability, and high-quality customer service that motivated Hammerson to make the switch to renewable energy with us.

We work closely with global sustainability leaders, the Carbon Trust so our customers can confidently procure and report renewable electricity.  

Their verification of our 100% renewable electricity products means Hammerson can trust that every megawatt hour of electricity they use has come from renewable sources backed with UK-recognised origin certificates.  

It also means they can report zero carbon emissions for purchased electricity when reporting using the market-based method in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance.

Hammerson are on a mission to deliver value for their stakeholders, connect communities and create a positive impact for generations to come, leading by example, with sustainability at the heart.  

In supplying Hammerson with 100% renewable energy, SmartestEnergy supports their vision, driving positive change in the system and making a significant step towards a cleaner energy future.
