The Carbon Trust has announced
the winners of three awards that
recognise leading performers in
Carbon Trust Standard certification
assessments for 2011-2012.

The Carbon Trust Standard
certifies that organisations have
reduced their carbon emissions and
demonstrated a strong commitment
to making further reductions yearon-
year. Certification demonstrates
that positive action has been taken in
cutting carbon emissions, helping to
mitigate climate change and increase
energy efficiency.

Assessment goes beyond numerical
analysis, examining too how good
practice and carbon management are
embedded throughout the
organisation. The categories for
which special recognition have been
awarded are: best carbon management
score; largest absolute reduction as a
percentage of total footprint; and
biggest improvement in emissions
relative to turnover intensity.

The winners for each category for
2011-12 are: Coca-Cola Enterprises
Inc: Best in carbon management;
FairTrades: Best in absolute carbon
reduction; and Glanbia: Best in
relative carbon reduction.

Winners received their award
during the annual Carbon Trust
Standard Bearers Conference in
October.
