Environmental Award For Soilutions

Soilutions has been recognised at this year's Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) Awards.

The ceremony, which was held at Glasgow's Grand Central Hotel, is Scotland's leading environmental awards scheme and aims to recognise businesses that contribute to the country's sustainable development by taking significant steps to improve – or reduce – their impact on the environment. They also aim to encourage the efficient use of resources, enhance business competitiveness, improve environmental performance and support wider sustainable development goals.

John Curran, Managing Director of Soilutions, said: "We are delighted to be recognised for our environmental achievements through this VIBES Award. At Soilutions we are committed to sustainability, from the projects we manage to the way we run our business. It is great to have this focus recognised by the VIBES judges."

Gillian Bruce, Chair of the VIBES Awards, added: "Each of our winners deserve credit for the work they are doing to improve their company's bottom line through sustainable practices.

"The VIBES judges were consistently impressed by the lengths that the winning companies have gone to in order to put environmentally responsible practices at the centre of their business operations."
