M&S continues to be one of the greenest places to shop on the high street, as it has been announced that two of its new branches are set to be powered entirely by renewable energy. The two branches will be located in Glasgow and Galashiels, with their energy provided by a wind turbine in Aberdeenshire. Both branches are due to open in October.
In addition to this initiative — which, Marks and Spencer claim, will reduce carbon emissions from the stores by 95% — these stores also hope to adopt a policy of collecting rainwater for use in flushing the stores' toilets. Marks and Spencer say they hope to be a completely carbon neutral company by 2012.
