Eco stores
A range of green technologies incorporated into new stores at B&Q UK and Castorama France
On 27 March 2010, Castorama France and B&Q China switched off all external lights across stores during the 60-minute Earth Hour period, a campaign initiated by the environmental organisation WWF. Castorama France also donated hundreds of candles for the switch-off event at the Eiffel Tower.
In February 2009, a 2MW wind turbine became operational at the distribution centre in Worksop which supplies approximately 30% of the building's energy. B&Q UK aims for all energy use in new stores to be 'zero carbon' from 2012.
