As part of Cummins’ Planet 2050 sustainability strategy to address climate change and conserve natural resources, the UKLC building project focused on reducing the centre’s environmental impacts.

The UKLC has been given a BREEAM Outstanding rating, a sustainability assessment ranking the facility in the top 1% of UK non-domestic buildings. The warehouse is designed to be self-powered for 6 months of the year, utilising PV solar panels and a Cummins QSK60G gas generator set in a standby application. Other environmentally focused features include the sites' ability to harvest rainwater and the available electric vehicle charging points for employees. The UKLC project supported local businesses, using suppliers from within a 15-mile radius throughout the build.
