Eddie Bingham, UK Engineering Director, of InterfaceFLOR (winner of the 2005 Sir Peter Parker Award) said, “The Award acts as a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved at InterfaceFLOR. Throughout each and every level of the company, there is a real belief in what we are trying to do. Hopefully, other businesses, both large and small, will see what can be achieved and follow us on our quest to be 100% sustainable". BCE is an accredited feeder scheme for the biennial European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE), which ensures that only the best of the best are considered by the European judges. Following its success in the 2007 BCE Awards, The Co-operative Group went on to triumph over fierce European competition to scoop the 2008 EBAE Management Award. Chris Shearlock, Environment Manager at the Co-operative Group, commented: "At The Co-operative Group we are dedicated to improving the environment and counteracting climate change. The recognition we have gained, first through winning the Business Commitment to the Environment Award and now being chosen for the Business Awards for the Environment means a great deal to us. Environmental commitment is intrinsic to our identity as a company, and it is wonderful to receive independent recognition from the EU in this way." |
