Green Business Award

Excellent environmental quality is something we all benefit from and all organisations, big and small, have an important role to play in improving local environmental quality. 

The Green Business Award: National Environmental Excellence Standard provides an independent audit, assessment and accreditation process as part of your organisation's journey towards sustainability.

The award provides a standardised method to assess and benchmark environmental achievement and improvements whilst giving clear insights into your impact on the local environmental and the role of business within the local community. It sets the foundation for an effective and robust  environmental management system. 

The scheme also provides a structure for councils to develop good waste management practice in the high street.

Andy Bate, Group Environmental Manager, Translink:
