USEL Are Honoured as International Green World Ambassadors

This recognition comes as a result of their environmental success in their  implementation of the BS8555 Environmental Management System which won a Green Apple Environment Award, presented at Westminster Palace in November last year. As a result of that success, they are having their winning paper published in The Green Book, the world’s only annual work of reference on environmental best practice that is distributed to environment professionals, universities and libraries around the world by The Green Organisation.  

The award judges commented: “This all-inclusive improvement project was employee led, as the staff felt more could be done to enhance their sustainability efforts. By adopting the BS8555 standard it formalised their approach and ensured all gains were quantifiable. This has been proven effective with energy efficiency up by 27% and a 60% improvement in their recycling performance.” The winning paper now goes forward for further judging and entry into The Green World Awards for the Environment; the campaign to find the “greenest” organisation in the world. This presentation takes place in Seoul, South Korea in October
