Awards Category Profiles

Green Achievement: award profile
Sponsored by Pro-Link GLOBAL

This award – one of three new categories that were introduced for the 2010/11 awards – recognises a company or organisation that has excelled in environmental initiatives and practices – perhaps by having green buildings and facilities, empowering staff to become greener, using renewable energy, reducing and/or recycling waste, and/or implementing green travel and transport policies.

Who can enter?

Entries can be from any type of organisation involved in relocation, on the corporate or supplier side.

The judges will be seeking outstanding examples of commitment to the environment which have a real impact and may help to inspire other businesses to go green. You should highlight the relocation context where possible. Areas of achievement may include, for example:

• What you have done to minimise the environmental impact of your products and services
• How you minimise and reduce waste
• What you have done to make your business energy- and water-efficient
• The environmental credentials of your raw materials and supply chain
