Hemel Hempstead-headquartered James Latham has taken home the British Woodworking Federation’s (BWF) Sustainability Award for its introduction and continued commitment to introducing a series of measures to profitable sustainability.
The BWF Sustainability Award is sponsored by Remmers UK, developer of specialised building, repair and protection products, and celebrates projects, initiatives or individuals that demonstrate a commitment to improving the company’s environmental sustainability performance.
BWF Award judges commended James Latham, noting that the company has “fully embraced” sustainability. They also praised the company’s commitment to achieving cost and carbon savings through management systems, investment in green energy, and fleet and plant improvements, as well as material recovery processes.
“We’re extremely proud of our ongoing commitment to sustainability which is embedded throughout our business – from the use of sustainable certified timber products to our carbon calculator, which provides customer with product carbon data," says Ewa Bazydlo, Environmental Manager at James Latham.
"It’s fantastic to have our ongoing sustainability efforts recognised by the BWF Awards. Through celebrating steps toward more sustainability practices within our sector, we can share best practice and learn from each other to move closer to the industry goal of net zero.”
The prize was presented at a celebratory awards evening on Friday 21st November at the Kimpton Fitzroy London.
