Environment Award for Enterprise 2011 & Waste Minimization Award

30 July 2011

The Cleaner Technology Center has launched the 6th Edition of the Environment Award for Enterprise with the aim of acknowledging the contribution of industry in favour of sustainable development.

The aim of these awards is to give recognition to industries or organizations which, through their policies, practices and processes help bring about, social and economic development while reducing the impact of their operations on the environment. Another aim of the awards is to act as a spur for more organizations to take measures in favour of the environment.

The environment award will be given in three categories;

Cat ‘A' – Management Award for Sustainable Development
Cat ‘B' – Conservation Award for Sustainable Development
Cat ‘C' – Environment Protection Initiative Award for SMEs

The winners in the last edition were: The General Soft Drinks Co Ltd, Medichem Manufacturing (Malta) Ltd and Mater Dei Hospital. Honourable Mentions were given to HSBC Bank (Malta) Ltd, Intercontinental (Malta) Hotel, Yellow Pages (Malta) Ltd & The Hilton (Malta) Hotel.

This year, another award namely ‘'THE WASTE MINIMISATION AWARD'' instituted by WasteServ Malta Limited in conjunction with The Cleaner Technology Centre will be given. This award is intended to recognize businesses and organisations on the Maltese Islands that have implemented successful waste reduction, reuse and recycled product procurement programmes.

Application Deadline: August 2011. Applications will be assessed by a special committee consisting of experts from various sectors. The winners in each category are awarded a specially commissioned trophy made by Mdina Glass and a certificate. The winners will also be assisted to compete in the European Environment Award Programme run by the DG Environment of the European Commission.
