The awards, this year presented at the IEMA Annual Dinner in Bournemouth, were open to any UK organization certified to ISO 14001, the world’s only international environmental management system standard.
Mike Low, Director of BSI British Standards, who presented the awards, said,
“We were pleased to receive so many entries in the competition this year. It is a great opportunity for organizations to demonstrate their environmental credentials and achieve recognition for the work they have put into implementing the standard.”
The awards were judged by an independent panel of environmental experts, led by Ossie Dodds MBE, head of the UK delegation to the ISO body responsible for the 14000 series of standards.
BSI, with the support of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), is recognizing organizations that have explored the full potential of ISO 14001. Martin Baxter, IEMA’s Deputy Chief Executive, said, “Using ISO 14001 gives organizations the opportunity to make environmental performance improvements that they otherwise wouldn’t achieve. These awards help to distinguish the best environmental performers.”
