Due to the significant restructuring of our portfolio over the past three years, we set our energy and emissions targets (and associated efficiency targets) for 2017 by asset and activity, as opposed to setting total targets across the Group. Each asset and activity has a target based on its specific parameters such as current performance, technical limitations and market demand. This allows for a more detailed and actionable approach to energy and emissions reduction. In addition, we have begun the exercise of setting corporate GHG emissions reduction targets, focused on our most material impacts. This report focuses on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions which are directly impacted by Westfield Corporation’s operations. Scope 3 emissions are not directly impacted by Westfield so are not dealt with in this section, however, information on Scope 3 emissions is included in Appendix 7.1.

An example of one major LED lighting project was Total of 2,570 kW solar capacity after completed in April 2017 also at Westfield Topanga. In the Topanga mall parking lots, 183 lighting fixtures were Phase 2 completed (March 2018) - replaced to improve energy efficiency. The existing sixfold increase from Phase 1 fixtures were all 750 Watt Pulse Start Metal Halide and the new fixtures were all 223 Watt LED. In addition to the replacements in the parking lots, 1,429 lighting fixtures were replaced across three mall parking garages. One Phase 1 + Phase 2 expected to existing garage had 175 Watt Metal Halide fixtures, while the other two had 250 Watt Metal Halide fixtures. In all three produce 4.1 million kWh/year - parking garages, new 75 Watt LED fixtures were installed. All new LED fixtures in the parking garages had built in a 285% increase from 2012-2017 programmable controls for dimming, occupancy control and photo controls. For these LED projects, all required plans, average permits and CA Title 24 Commissioning and Certification were obtained to follow all local regulations.

Water consumption reduction continued to be an area of focus for Westfield Corporation in 2017. Our Total Water Consumption decreased by 41% between 2016 and 2017.
The large decrease in water consumption in 2017 is a result of increased water management through fixing water leaks occuring Water Consumption in 2016 and systems such as the Hydropoint Watercompass™ program.
Across our US portfolio, 2017 Total Water Consumption decreased by 66% due to the identification and maintenance of water leaks.
