BRE Scotland Sponsors Best Green Initiative

Posted: 07/02/2006

BRE Scotland has sponsored the ‘Best Environmental Initiative’ award at this year’s prestigious Scottish Green Energy Awards. The award was won by the Forestry Commission for their use of carbon neutral fuels in vehicles. One of the first public agencies to use bio fuels, the Commission has also introduced its first pellet stove and plans to install a number of wood chip systems to heat its buildings.
 
The award for Best Environmental Initiative recognises the ability of the renewables industry to assist in achieving wider environmental goals. The judges were particularly looking for a scheme or initiative that went beyond usual practice to deliver environmental benefits.
 
The Awards acknowledge achievements and highlight the progress that is being made toward delivering Scotland’s renewable targets. Jonathan Fair, Director of BRE Scotland who presented the award said: ‘BRE Scotland is delighted to sponsor this year’s Best Environmental Initiative award. These important awards reinforce the progress being made towards renewable energy targets and celebrate the role Scotland is playing in delivering wider environmental goals. Congratulations to the Forestry Commission for leading the field in this important area.’
