Designer Outlet Sosnowiec has achieved an Excellent rating under the BREEAM building assessment scheme.
BREEAM assesses buildings across a range of categories, including energy, water, materials, waste and land use. The certification provides an assessment of the building's performance against the scheme's criteria.
LED Lighting
Designer Outlet Sosnowiec uses a centrally controlled LED lighting system throughout the centre's interior and car park. LED lighting generally consumes less electricity than conventional lighting technologies, helping to manage electricity use across these areas.
Waste Separation
Separating waste is part of everyday life at Designer Outlet Sosnowiec. Recycling containers are available at the centre to make it easier for visitors and staff to separate waste for collection.
EV Charging
Driving an electric car? We've got you covered! Four EV chargers are available at Designer Outlet Sosnowiec, so you can charge your car while enjoying your shopping trip
Biodiversity
There's more to explore beyond our shops! The green spaces at Designer Outlet Sosnowiec include a meadow, landscaped areas around the pond and a nature trail leading towards the car park, with shrubs and trees along the way.
These areas were designed in accordance with BREEAM guidelines and form part of the centre's outdoor environment.
Water Care
Water management is also part of how we operate our centre. Our toilets and urinals are equipped with water-efficient fixtures designed to reduce water consumption during use.
Social Responsibility
Small everyday choices can start with a little inspiration. Around the centre, you'll find information encouraging the use of reusable shopping bags, public transport and cycling as ways to get around.
Community Initiatives
From cycling for a good cause to planting trees, our community initiatives bring people together!
In 2020, our "Crazy About Cycling with Designer Outlet Sosnowiec! Ride for Prizes!" campaign turned kilometres cycled by participants into monetary donations supporting the Las Na Zawsze Foundation.
And through our "Let's Plant a Forest Together!" campaign, organised in cooperation with Dotlenieni.org, we planted 3,500 trees in the Kobiór Forest District in the Silesian Voivodeship.
Find out more about the campaign in our report below.

Drop Box
Have clothes you no longer wear? Bring them along on your next shopping trip!
Our clothing and textile collection container gives you a convenient place to drop off unwanted items. According to the collection process described by the centre, clothing in good condition is resold through second-hand shops, while other collected textiles are sent for recycling.
The collection process is supervised by Fundacja Eco Textil.
Bees & Insects
Our smallest visitors have a place here too!
Insects play an important role in nature: some pollinate flowers, while others help break down organic matter. That's why we've installed insect hotels around Designer Outlet Sosnowiec, providing shelter for insects within our outdoor spaces.
