Farrans (Construction) Limited receives top environmental accolade
05 December 2011
Farrans has received a top ‘green’ accolade from Business in the Community’s ARENA Network by achieving Platinum status, ranking overall 4th out of 250 compnaies in Northern Ireland, and first in the construction sector at this year’s 13th Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey Results.
The Survey, carried out by ARENA Network and supported by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, annually assesses top businesses in Northern Ireland for environmental management, performance and assurance.
Environment Minister Alex Attwood, who gave the keynote address commending all participants for their leadership and achievement said:
“One of the most effective ways of achieving progress is by business and government working together. That is why I am pleased that the Northern Ireland Environment Agency is entering into a three year strategic partnership with Business in the Community to build on its work with ARENA and its members.”
“The ARENA Network Survey is strategically important for businesses and the public sector because it challenges all of us to do the right thing to protect our environment while delivering clear business benefits for participants.”
ARENA will continue to widen the net and encourage companies outside the top 200 to participate in benchmarking, to start making improvements and realise the gains this approach brings.
