IBEC announces Irish winners of European environment awards
IBEC is delighted to announce the Irish winners of the 2009/10 European Business Awards for the Environment:
• Abbott Ireland for best environmental management
• JFC Manufacturing in Galway for best environmental product
• Lagan Cement in Westmeath for environmental excellence
These awards showcase the best of Irish innovation in environmental management and practice. The number and quality of Irish entries this year reflects the increasing importance of environmental issues for businesses of all types and sizes.
Abbott Ireland received the environmental management award for introducing a green plan that improved the environmental efficiency and sustainability of its business activities and products.
JFC Manufacturing in Galway (pictured above) won the product award for converting bottles into a raw material for manufacturing pipes, which are then used as part of a storm water attenuation system that minimises flooding.
Lagan Cement received the IBEC environmental excellence award for significantly reducing its carbon footprint by substituting a portion of its non-renewable fossil fuel with green energy derived from solid recovered fuel.
Established in 1987 by the European Commission, the European Business Awards for the Environment identify and reward European companies that bring together innovation, economic viability and environmental concerns.
