Energy Accreditation for PruPIM

In 2001 PruPIM was the first property investment management company to be awarded the Institute of Energy's Accreditation in Energy Efficiency.

The scheme was established in 1993 and is endorsed by the CBI. The Climate Change Programme, published by the Government in November 2000, states that the accreditation is "the national benchmark standard in energy efficiency."

There are around 150 UK organisations that are accredited and they form an increasingly powerful network with a combined annual energy bill of around £1 billion.

As part of the accreditation process an independent assessor undertook a full evaluation of PruPIM's performance in the following areas:

• Management policy and reporting procedures
• The level of investment, actual and planned, in energy efficiency measures
• Improvements in energy efficiency achieved over the previous three years

The accreditation is reviewed every three years.
