Yellow Pages Gets Gold Award For Green Efforts - 23 November 2000
Yellow Pages is celebrating its success at the Mars Awards for the Environment where the company won a coveted Golden Oak Award.The awards recognise the environmental achievements of businesses and schools across Berkshire. From nearly a hundred entries by firms across the county, Yellow Pages walked away with one of the six top awards for business.
Yellow Pages offices in Reading and Slough were honoured for promoting the company’s environmental policy; developing an effective network of environmental champions; introducing green transport initiatives; reducing consumption of resources and increasing recycling.
"We’ve been working extremely hard at continually improving our environmental performance," said Paul Fry, Strategic Development Director, Yellow Pages. "It’s wonderful that our efforts have been publicly recognised and rewarded."
Winners of the Golden Oak Award are given a certificate and a cheque for £350 to spend on an environmental project of their choice. Yellow Pages works very closely with St Mary’s CofE Combined School, Slough, and intends to use the money to support an environmental project in the school’s grounds.
