Members of the public have been invited to vote online in the “Leadership” category of this year’s Sustainable Energy Awards, with the companies contending for the prize including Abbott, Johnson and Johnson, Musgrave Group and Aurivo.
Organised by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, the awards recognise the ambitious and the practical solutions companies use to reduce their carbon footprint and protect the environment.
Other categories in the awards include: large and small business, community, public sector, innovation, research, leadership, buildings and design.
In the Leadership category, the four finalists have been recognised for their “extraordinary leadership and ambition in advancing sustainable energy in their organisations and communities over a prolonged period.”
Abbott, for example, is working towards reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2020 and has saved 2,700 tonnes of CO2 since 2012 at their six Irish sites. Aurivo, meanwhile, is striving to reduce its impact on the environment through energy efficiency and energy from biomass, with recent initiatives offsetting over 8,000 tonnes of CO2.
The winners at the 13th Sustainable Energy Awards will be announced at a gala event on November 3rd in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin.
