County Estate Management (CEM) was the prize-winner in the International Green Apple Awards 2007 for Environmental Best practice. CEM was given the National Gold Award in recognition of its Green Vision: Making Homes and People Greener project.
The trophy was presented by botanist and TV personality Professor David Bellamy, OBE at the House of Commons on 9 November. The trophies are awarded annually in recognition of organisations carrying out projects that benefit the environment.
The judges said: “CEM has improved the environmental performance of many homes, and their occupants. Promoting modern technologies such as solar power and LED lighting has given them the potential to save megawatts of power among their client base.”
Green Vision, the CEM award-winning project will be featured in The Green Book and the company also will be presented with a prestigious Green Heroes Shield this spring, during a special prize-giving ceremony.
The Green Apple Awards campaign is run by the Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit organisation that recognises, rewards and promotes best practice around the world. Their supporters include the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and other professional bodies. National organiser Roger Wolens said: “We had around 750 nominations this year and presented about 80 awards, so CEM did well to triumph against some very strong competition.”
