Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, has been presented with the Green Heroes 2010 Wall Shield in recognition of its award winning environmental project - Implementation of a New Environmental Management System. The Shields are awarded annually in recognition of companies, councils and communities carrying out projects that enhance environments, that wish to share their experience and knowledge with the world.
The award-winning project will be featured in the next Green Book, which claims to be the world's only work of reference on environmental practice. The company also won a Green Apple Award presented in November during a special prize-giving ceremony at the House of Commons.
The Green Apple Awards campaign is run by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit organisation that recognises, rewards and promotes environmental best practice around the world. Their supporters include the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and various other professional bodies.
