Marks & Spencer has announced plans to open its most sustainable UK store at Ecclesall Road in Sheffield, UK.

The store will be the first of a number of planned ‘Sustainable Learning’ stores, which will further increase M&S’ understanding of sustainable construction techniques and processes.

The new 12,400 sq ft Simply Food store, due to open in April and built from scratch on a former brownfield site, incorporates a host of sustainable and innovative design and construction features.

The store is set to achieve a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’, and has received a Considerate Constructors Scheme score of 37.5 out of 40, making it one of the most sustainable retail outlets in the UK.
