Cadogan | Chelsea 2030
Reducing water is one of the most challenging targets in our Chelsea 2030 strategy, as 70% is consumed by occupier operations and outside our control. However, as a precious resource under threat from climate change, addressing water use and conservation is becoming increasingly urgent.
Target 7 50% reduction in mains water consumption by 2030
F
rom a baseline of 408,594m3 in 2019, we have already achieved a saving of 47% – largely due to the impact of COVID restricting occupier operations and impacting data quality. We will continue assessing performance for another year, and improving data quality, before deciding if we should adjust our 2030 target.
Water
Reductions in landlord water consumption have been driven by efficiency measures and leak detection – which will be further supported through 2022 with waterefficient design and the installation of smart meters to accurately measure water consumption. We are also reviewing the possibility of greater provision of water for irrigation and non-potable uses from rainwater and greywater harvesting – something that is challenging on an historic estate.

Occupier engagement is key to realising water savings – with the vast majority of data estimated, better data quality is essential to informing opportunities to improve.
