The Northwest Business Environment Awards 2009 - Unmasking the
region’s Green Heroes
The search is on for environmentally conscious companies from
across the region as the Northwest Business Environment Awards
(NWBEA) 2009 sets out to unmask our green heroes from industry that
are putting the environment at the heart of their company’s
success.
Green super sleuths and hosts of next year’s prestigious awards
event, Mersey Basin Campaign in partnership with the Northwest
Regional Development Agency (NWDA), want businesses from Cumbria,
Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Cheshire to inform
them of their green credentials.
Businesses of all shapes and sizes are invited to enter the 2009
awards by nominating themselves, via a simple application entry
form, in one or more of the following award categories; Best
Environmental Practice (products and service), Built Environment,
Sustainable Procurement, Environmental Innovation and Environmental
Champions.
Of course, NWBEA 2009 is hoping to receive tip-offs from
companies as well as organisations that want to celebrate their
regional suppliers and clients that excel in environmental and
business excellence.
To be in with a chance of winning an award and being crowned a
Green Hero for 2009 entries need to be in before 2nd February 2009.
