BCSA members appear in eco friendly top 50

The top 50 greenest companies in the UK were unveiled last month in the inaugural Sunday Times Green List.

Two BCSA members appeared in the prestigious list, Kingspan at 20 and Metsec at 21. Both of these companies are also Gold members of the BCSA Sustainability Charter.

All the companies listed have made huge strides in im-proving their environmental performance. The survey is unique in testing workplace opinion on green issues, whereby employees rated their companies’ environmental credentials through a 52-point survey that accounted for 30% of the final rankings.

The survey – devised with the environmental consultancy Bureau Veritas and market research group Munro Global – awarded the remaining 70% of the marks to companies for their environmental policies and practices and for improvements in environmental performance.
