A Cork shopping centre has been recognised at the National Energy Awards. 

Mahon Point has been named Ireland’s most sustainable shopping centre following the Business Energy Achievement Awards last week. 

This award acknowledges the shopping centre’s ongoing commitment to reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon dioxide emissions, and adopting forward-thinking environmental strategies.

Justin Young, Director of Mahon Point Shopping Centre, commented: “We are incredibly proud to receive the Best Energy Achievement in Retail award. It’s a pleasure to see Mahon Point’s unwavering commitment to sustainable energy practices recognised at a national level. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and stakeholders in making sustainability a priority. Our goal is not only to reduce our environmental footprint but also to inspire other retail centres to adopt similar strategies.”

Mahon Point Shopping Centre’s sustainability strategy includes key initiatives such as the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, a full transition to LED lighting, and the development of an on-site groundwater well, all of which have significantly reduced energy and water consumption. The centre also promotes eco-friendly transport with EV charging units, expanded public transport options, and bike and scooter services.
