Bibendum wins UK Green Company of the Year at Drinks Business Green Awards - 12/02/2010

We are all thrilled to have been named as UK Green Company of the Year at The Drinks Business Green Awards. The honour is just reward for our incredibly hard working Vivid team led by Amanda Willsher.

The judges said: "The competition was very stiff in this category, but Bibendum shone through as the UK Green Company of the Year due to the way in whch they have clearly embraced their impact on the environment in every aspect of the business. Their holistic approach to reducing their carbon emissions and reducing waste is admirable and should be held up as the standard for all other similar company's in our trade."

Amanda says "All the green activities Bibendum has undertaken have been driven by our voluntary green committee, Vivid. Vivid has succeeded by using the knowledge and experience of everyone on board to assess the way we operate as a company and to implement many changes, whether large or small, across the whole business. These changes have added up to make a big difference and it's fantastic that the Green Company of the Year Award has given us recognition for this. For us this is not about a big shiny one-off project, it's about a holistic approach looking at how we function as a whole now and in the future."

The Drinks Business Green Awards highlight and reward leadership on environment, sustainability and climate change by drinks companies worldwide. With support from a range of influential supporting partners and an eminent panel of expert judges, the awards emphasise how sustainability is core to development in the drinks industry.
