SPAR Scotland Wholesaler, CJ Lang wins Scottish Green Apple Environment Award
Scottish wholesaler and retailer CJ Lang and Son Limited in partnership with Gatechurch has won a Scottish Green Apple Environment Award for Environmental Best Practice in 2021.
Beating off some 200 nominations the company will presented with their trophy and certificate at a glittering presentation ceremony in March later this year. As a result of this Green Apple Award success, CJ Lang has been invited to have their winning paper published in The Green Book, the leading international work of reference on environmental best practice, so that others around the world can follow their example and learn from their achievement.
Colin Chapman, Distribution Director said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have received this Green Apple Award. Our internal teams have been working tirelessly on environmental and CSR initiatives for many years. This award goes some way to recognising all their hard work.”
The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and have become established as the country’s leading awards for environmental endeavour among companies, councils, communities and countries. The awards are organised by The Green Organisation - an international, independent, non-political, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world. The Green Apple Awards are supported by the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution for Wastes Management and other independent bodies.
CJ Lang established a Green Team in 2019. Working in partnership with Gatechurch and the Community Fridge that opened in August 2019, they have achieved:
- Saved almost 67 tonnes of food from going to waste
- Carbon emission savings of 244 tonnes CO2e
- Helped over 2,600 families and individuals
- Received on average 100 visitors per day
- Given out the equivalent of 37,000 meals
