Tree Appeal Partner - The Green Organisation

Tree Appeal are proud to be involved with The Green Organisation, who reward the passion and commitment of environmentally responsible businesses. The annual Green Apple and Green Heroes Awards are officially Tree Appeal Green Events, whereby a native broad-leaved tree is planted on behalf every person who attends.

In the past, Tree Appeal have been delighted to win a Green Heroes Award and four Green Apple awards. We have also been involved in presenting the accolades.

The 2010 awards were held at the prestigious venue of the Tower of London and Tree Appeal were once again pleased to be in attendance.  As it is the International Year of Biodiversity, the 2010 ceremony was particularly special.

In the current economic climate, it was reassuring to see that there are so many businesses who still have the environment high on their agenda.  Now more than ever it is crucial that we recognize the importance of preserving our planet and its valuable biodiversity. This year’s award winners and nominees should be an inspiration to any company who want to launch an environmental initiative.

The Green Organisation is an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world.

While they support the work of other environmental groups that play the role of environmental watchdog, there is also a need for an organisation like this that concentrates more on the positive aspects of environmental endeavour - the carrot as well as the stick.

They are best known for organising The International Green Apple Environment Award campaigns - one for environmental best practice, and one for enhancing our built environment and architectural heritage.

Their work began in1994 and experience has shown that many have followed the examples of environmental best practice demonstrated by the Green Apple Award winners.

They have recognised the benefits and profits that can come in the wake of environmental best practice, so they have sound business reasons for following our winners' lead - as well as taking responsibility for the safekeeping of our environment for generations to come.

The Green Organisation is funded by membership and sponsorship, with valuable support from the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Municipal Journal and several other professional bodies.
