Sustainability
The new building boasts the latest technology to help achieve sustainability targets and has been awarded BREEAM-NL 3-star certification. Thanks to the use of energy-saving technology and insulation, the building has an energy performance rating that exceeds current building regulation requirements by 70%. Notable features include dimmable LED strip lighting with movement sensors, a high standard of thermal insulation, and heat recovery from the refrigeration equipment. Wilco Jansen, spokesman for Sligro Food Group: ‘We have noticed that sustainability is becoming increasingly important to our customers, and so sustainability management is important at Sligro Food Group, too.’
The Hague and Barendrecht
The operations of the Sligro delivery service centres in The Hague and Barendrecht are also being transferred to the new building, as a result of which Sligro will have nine delivery service centres in total. Merging operations in this way makes for greater efficiency. ‘Combining activities yields both financial savings and benefits to society,’ Wilco Jansen explained.
