Staff at the CMS Group have been praised by the John Muir Trust wildness charity for their work helping wildlife to thrive at the company’s main manufacturing
The company’s ‘EnviroChamps’ have achieved the John Muir Award at the Discovery level in acknowledgement of their work around the natural woodland and freshwater areas around its 15 acre Cumbernauld HQ.
Their work has so far included regular litter picks, placing pollinating plants around the main reception area and installing bird boxes, bat boxes and bee B&Bs to allow a sheltered habitat for many different types of wildlife. Many of the boxes were made using recycled materials from the CMS factory yard.
CMS Environmental Advisor Amy Ledger said: “The award is really important to ensure we deliver the best outcomes in terms of preserving and enhancing the woodland and freshwater biomes at our HQ site, and do this in an inclusive way so any employee can get involved for the benefit of their health both physically and mentally.”
The John Muir Award is designed so that any organisation can get involved; it seeks to encourage staff to strive for conservation and help them ‘to truly understand the wonder that the outdoors can bring, even if it’s just during a lunch break.’www.cmswindows.com
