BH Live Active, Corfe Mullen is leading the way in sustainability by becoming the first BH Live Active leisure centre to achieve Green Mark Level 2 accreditation.
Green Mark has become a cornerstone of business operations across the UK as they move towards being environmentally sustainable for the long-term. Green Mark reviews organisations’ sustainability performances, identifying steps on how businesses can save energy, reduce waste, and become more environmentally responsible in their everyday processes.
As of April 2024, all leisure centres and venues managed by BH Live have achieved Green Mark Level 1 accreditation as part of its commitment to reducing energy waste and improving sustainability.
BH Live is a registered charity and social enterprise. Any surplus generated by BH Live is reinvested back into those centres and venues for the benefit of the community. Recent sustainable investment includes pool covers to reduce heat loss and LED lighting to cut down electricity consumption. Together with their local authority partners there has also been solar panel installation to generate sustainable energy.
Roy Clarke, BH Live’s Director of Technical Operations shared:
“I’m incredibly proud of the team at Corfe Mullen for becoming the first BH Live Active leisure centre to achieve Green Mark’s Level 2 accreditation. The framework is a key part of our Environmental Strategy Management Plan, that helps us take steps towards making our centres and venues more sustainable.”
Jamie Craddock, Green Mark Customer Account Manager shared:
“Green Mark is assisting BH Live across their portfolio to achieve their Net Zero goals. Through the implementation of the Green Mark framework & achieving Level 1 across the BH Live portfolio, the sites have a deeper insight into their environmental impact, whilst identifying & implementing key actions to improve sustainability.
“The Green Mark team would like to celebrate the fact that Corfe Mullen have achieved their Level 2 accreditation, showing exciting progress from an already strong Level 1 accreditation in 2023. Showing to the wider community that they are one step closer to achieving their sustainability goals & are paving the way for the rest of the sites to follow suit.”
