BAYFAIR WINS<br />
SUSTAINABILITY<br />
AWARD<br />
> From page 1<br />
International rating<br />
The internationally recognised<br />
sustainability rating system was<br />
introduced to New Zealand in<br />
2007.<br />
More than 250 new building<br />
projects have gained Green Star<br />
certification. But <strong>Bay</strong>fair is the<br />
first shopping centre in the country<br />
to achieve the coveted 4-star<br />
rating for its sustainable operation,<br />
signifying best practice,<br />
according to <strong>Bay</strong>fair Shopping<br />
Centre co-owners Australasia’s<br />
Dexus Wholesale Shopping Centre<br />
Fund, and Fisher Funds.<br />
According to Dexus, the group<br />
has a $17.4 billion real estate<br />
development pipeline and had<br />
a sustainability aspiration to<br />
unlock the potential <strong>of</strong> real estate<br />
assets to create a lasting positive<br />
impact and a more sustainable<br />
tomorrow. Dexus added that it<br />
managed an Australasian real<br />
estate and infrastructure portfolio<br />
valued at $61 billion (pro<br />
forma post final completion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
AMP capital acquisition).<br />
Dexus Head <strong>of</strong> Sustainability,<br />
Ramana James said: “Our sustainability<br />
aspiration is to unlock<br />
the potential <strong>of</strong> real assets to create<br />
lasting positive impact and a<br />
more sustainable tomorrow.”<br />
Ongoing initiatives<br />
The success <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>fair Shopping<br />
Centre’s latest rating recognised<br />
ongoing management initiatives<br />
at <strong>Bay</strong>fair, including: an accredited<br />
Environmental Management<br />
System plan, procuring non-hazardous<br />
cleaning products, conducting<br />
regular procurement<br />
audits <strong>of</strong> contractors and raising<br />
staff awareness <strong>of</strong> the sustainable<br />
procurement policy through<br />
training sessions.<br />
“It was great working with<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>fair Shopping Centre team<br />
on their successful rating and<br />
seeing the amazing sustainability<br />
initiatives underway,” said<br />
Bobby Shen, NZGBC’s business<br />
development manager – existing<br />
Steve Ellingford<br />
buildings.<br />
“Our independent third-party<br />
assessors were impressed by the<br />
submission and the work put<br />
into this building to lessen its<br />
environmental impact,” he said.<br />
“The Green Star Performance<br />
framework provides managers<br />
with a certified benchmark to<br />
verify the impact <strong>of</strong> their initiatives<br />
and assess how they can<br />
improve the experience for customers,<br />
visitors and staff,” added<br />
Shen.<br />
“A huge congratulations<br />
to all involved, it’s a fantastic<br />
achievement.”<br />
Reducing<br />
environmental impact<br />
According to a statement put out<br />
with the award, <strong>Bay</strong>fair’s management<br />
has been innovative in<br />
ways to reduce the centre’s environmental<br />
impact.<br />
Their initiatives include<br />
encouraging alternative transport<br />
through coordinating ridesharing,<br />
EV charging, access to<br />
bike end-<strong>of</strong>-trip facilities and<br />
sponsoring and supporting the<br />
‘Wednesday Challenge’ – a pointbased<br />
system encouraging and<br />
rewarding people for ditching<br />
their cars in favour <strong>of</strong> other<br />
means <strong>of</strong> transport.<br />
The 440-seat food court<br />
demonstrated best practice with<br />
what the award described as a<br />
unique operation to manage and<br />
divert waste from landfill.<br />
There are no customer waste<br />
bins in the food court and instead,<br />
the food court team collects and<br />
sorts 100 percent <strong>of</strong> the customer<br />
waste generated. This helped<br />
divert waste from landfill and<br />
reduced recycling contamination,<br />
further increasing the diversion<br />
rate to 56 percent, according to<br />
the award.<br />
