BCE Awards Winners 2011
Sir Anthony Cleaver, President BCE Awards, Sir Stuart Rose with the 2011 BCE Awards winners.
At the BCE Awards ceremony held on the 15 June 2011 at The Lincoln Centre in London, 13 companies were honoured for their environmental excellence, innovation and leadership.
Congratulating all the winners, Sir Stuart Rose said:
“I’ve been very impressed with the quality of this year’s BCE Award winners and commend them for their commitment to the environment, particularly in the face of such challenging economic conditions. They’ve really set the bar for other companies.
“I know from my own experiences at Marks & Spencer that businesses need to display qualities of leadership, innovation and excellence to succeed with sustainability initiatives. These demanding attributes are also required to win a prestigious BCE Award and all the winners deserve enormous credit.
“Businesses will need to show these qualities in spades to adapt in a rapidly changing world. We need to radically alter our business models to cope with a perfect storm of climate change, a growing global population and finite resources. The BCE Awards scheme has pioneered the recognition of companies taking the lead on environmental issues and the winners’ achievements are an inspiration to their peers.”
