Goldenacre Mini Market is a convenience store located in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its best-selling items are chilled drinks. Like most convenience stores, the very nature of the business means long operating hours. That means high demand for store lighting and consequently high operating costs.

Small saving with a huge impact

• Hotel prevented 2.5 tonnes of furniture from being landfilled
• This saved only a small amount (around € 87 or £ 78), but the action reduced CO2 emissions by 7 tonnes
