Scottish Leather wins top environmental honour
Sponsored by the Environment Agency, the Environmental Award was presented to Scottish Leather Group by Robert Light, Deputy Chairman, Environment Agency, alongside the awards’ host, news anchor and broadcaster, Huw Edwards.
Collecting the award on behalf of Scottish Leather Group, Dr. Warren Bowden, Group Environmental Director, commented: “It is an honour for the Scottish Leather Group to be recognised in such prestigious and internationally respected company. We are immensely proud of our environmental credentials and innovations in manufacturing leather sustainably and absolutely delighted to receive this award from such an esteemed panel of judges.”
Scottish Leather Group secured the award for its low carbon leather against some stiff competition including Sindicatum Sustainable Resources for its RenewCo projects, SWRP for the Subsea Well Response project and Vital Efficienci for energy savings and ISO 50001 certification at Cancer Research UK’s research laboratory.
Lynda Armstrong OBE FEI, Chair of British Safety Council and formerly of Royal Dutch Shell, where she held operational and management roles in oil and gas exploration for 35 years, chaired this year’s E Awards judging panel which included representatives from across all sectors of the energy industry.
Lynda commented: “The EI Awards are a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate the diversity of innovation and excellence in the sector. This year was no exception; we reviewed a large number of applications across the whole spectrum of activities. All of the projects showed the effort in progress to maintain an efficient and dynamic energy industry.”
