Lafarge Cement UK Eco-efficiency Award

Big Tick Re-accreditation awarded to: Adnams plc

Adnams is one of the leading environmentally conscious businesses in the East of England. 

Even in difficult economic times they believe that taking positive action in  eco-efficiency is important to their brand reputation.  This has led to enhanced local and national awareness, strong employee engagement and loyal customers who want to trade with a company committed to doing the right thing.

For every business decision made, the environmental impacts are taken into consideration and their eco-efficiency strategy is based upon reducing carbon emissions across every side of the business, from the brewery, to the hotels and pubs to their Cellar & Kitchen stores.

Adnams highly eco-efficient distribution centre built of hemcrete walls, a green roof, rainwater catchments and glulam wood beams has proved worth the additional 15% cost premium incurred when the building was constructed.
