Environmental Policy

At The Store Room we have installed solar panels at 65% of our existing buildings to generate electricity within each facility.

We are also continuing to work with a nationwide supplier to ensure we have the latest and most efficient systems in place at our existing stores, and solar panels will be an integral part of our new developments.

We are continuing our roll out of energy-saving LED lighting throughout our self storage facilities.

It is estimated that each LED bulb will contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 50 to 70% per unit.

All our new-build state of the art facilities will be built to the highest sustainability standards, and at our most recent development in Solihull, we achieved the sought-after A+ Energy Performance rating.

We will aim to achieve Net Zero carbon levels in constructing our new facilities.

As a standard component of all our new facilities we will install electric car charging points, supplied with energy through our solar panel electricity provision.

These will be available free of charge to all customers of The Store Room, including those using our office and coworking facilities. The Store Room in Solihull is our first site to offer electric car charging points, and these have been successfully taken up.

All facilities support recycling initiatives, ensuring all packaging materials are sustainably sourced, and customers have access to recycling options for their packaging materials.

In addition to this, The Store Room recycles all their IT equipment which has reached it’s end-of-life.

At The Store Room’s new facilities we will aim to plant trees, grow hedges and leave areas for wild-growing flowers where possible, so as to contribute to the bio-diversity of the areas in which we operate.

The Store Room is continuously striving to reduce the use of paper in its operations, building on significant strides which have already been made. The company will leverage new technologies and processes where appropriate to achieve our aim of minimal use of paper products.

At The Store Room we are always seeking to make a positive impact to our environment, our customers and our employees.

An important aspect of this objective is our environmental policy which aims to achieve net carbon neutrality across the business alongside which we wish to be seen as a positive contributor through our actions to initiatives within the communities which we serve.
