Hat trick of Awards at Green 500

Reed won a hat trick of Green awards at the Green 500 London ceremony last night.

The awards were presented by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who joked that the tube strike in London had inadvertently made everyone 'greener' as they chose to walk and cycle to work, cutting their emissions in the meantime.

The first award that we won was the Green 500 Trailblazer Award. This was given to us in recognition of the fact that we have set a standard for other organisations to follow and that we have led the way in commitment and communications on carbon reduction.This was largely due to the introduction of our 'Thin Client' Terminal computer network.

The second award that we won was the Engager Award. This aimed to recognise an organisation that has achieved highly in the green learning, skills and communications of its workforce. Green500 said of Reed, "The company has delivered a comprehensive range of successful engagement activities across its entire portfolio, including: induction training; a carbon champion programme; 'switch it off' Thin Client terminals competitions; and 'Green Mondays' (an environmentally friendly news and advice service every Monday).

All activities are in place to engage employees to be more environmentally conscious in their daily activities, in order to achieve overall savings' objectives."

Finally, we were presented with a Platinum Award by the Green500. This recognises that we have made significant progress against the action plan that we agreed with the Green500 and that we continue to score highly in our carbon management processes. Next year, we will be aiming to achieve the Diamond Award, which is reserved for those organisations clearly leading the way and consistently exceeding action plan targets.
