UK’s 50 Best Green Companies
Times Online announces its list of the 50 best green companies in the UK, which includes companies that are improving their environmental performance in a joint effort by management and its workforce.
The results are based on two surveys. One covering companies’ environmental management policies, training, internal consultation, energy consumption, waste production and recycling. This accounts for 70 percent of the final ranking. The other survey puts explores workers attitudes to green issues in the workplace, which accounts for 30 percent of final rankings.
