Turning the Big Yellow green

I’ve just been appointed a board member of FTSE 250 company The Big Yellow Self Storage!  I’ll be chairing the new Board Sustainability Committee and am looking forward to seeing how I can help turn The Big Yellow green… 

In 2007 I gave the key note speech at the Self Storage Association annual meeting. Had I known that many years later I’d working with the industry I’d have been very surprised. However, I love getting involved in new sectors – and working out how I can help them embrace further environmental change.

The Big Yellow has already reduced its CO2 emissions by 60% since 2011, whilst at the same time expanding it’s store lettable space by 20%. But as the world’s climate crisis is becoming ever more apparent, we all know that there’s so much more to be done…
