Fruitful award
29th August 2017

CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS has gained further recognition for environmental credentials by winning a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice.

The company, which faced competition from 500 other nominees, will be presented with a trophy and certificate during a ceremony in the Houses of Parliament in November. The award ensures the company will have 100 trees planted in its name as part of the United Nations Billion Trees initiative and may also be invited to represent the UK in the Green World Awards 2018.

Among other environmental practices CMS collects any extracted windows and doors and processes them at its dedicated recycling facilities, ensuring over 95% of waste is diverted from landfill annually and as much waste as possible is reintroduced back into the manufacturing process.

Managing Director Andy Kerr said: “We are thrilled to have won a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice, which puts us in great company and provides further evidence that our environmental sustainability strategy is continuing to deliver stand-out benefits for our clients. We’d like to congratulate all the other companies who have been recognised for demonstrating their commitment to the environment and we look forward to the presentation ceremony in November.”

As a result of this Green Apple Award success, CMS has already been invited to have its winning paper published in The Green Book, the leading international work of reference on environmental best practice, so that others around the world can learn from its environmental sustainability strategy.

The Green Apple Awards are supported by the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution for Wastes Management and other independent bodies, began in 1994 and have become established as the country’s major recognition for environmental endeavour among companies, councils, communities and countries.
