SASGO Wins Green Apple Award
PROUD WINNERS OF PRESITIGIOUS SUSTAINABILITY AWARD
We are delighted that our efforts have borne fruit. We set ourselves the goal to lead the way as a flooring distributor in our industry, by achieving several firsts. Using this as a way of not only promoting the sustainability agenda but ensuring our own accountability.
We appreciated that this is best achieved through an online and offline education process, and most importantly, by aligning our organisation with recognised sustainability industry bodies, that could help us set our goals, and facilitate the tools to measure our impact.
What is the Green Apple Award
THE GREEN ORGANISATION has been established since 1994 as an international, independent, non-profit, non-political, environment group, dedicated to recognising, rewarding, and promoting environmental best practice around the world. It is particularly recognised for its annual awards to key players in the built environment.
The award will be presented in the Houses of Parliament in November and is seen as a significant endorsement of SASGO's environmental credentials and initiatives.
It is a Journey
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE ADVANCEMENTS
It is important to recognise we are on a journey when it comes to sustainability. Our initiatives included aligning ourselves with key sustainability organisations for many aspects of our business - achieving FORS Silver, Distributor of the Year with Recofloor and becoming the first flooring distributor as far as we know to attain Carbon Neutral status, were just three of the achievements we attained in 2023. We also examined our internal practices and made small changes that have a big long-term impact.
It is up to everyone in the built environment to do their bit. To find out more about what we are doing visit our sustainability page.
