Skanska wins top UK sustainable future award

Skanska UK has won the British Quality Foundation’s (BQF) 2011 BQF Achievement Award for Sustainable Future. Chosen by an independent awards jury, to receive an award, the company had to demonstrate its outstanding environmental or social contribution to achieving a more sustainable world.

The award was announced at the UK Excellence Awards 2011 Ceremony on Thursday 13th October when Skanska learned that it had impressed judges with its review of every project’s sustainability achievements, provision of case studies that enable employees to access environmental information and learn best practice, and the setting of sustainability-related objectives for all employees.

Joe Goasdoué, Chief Executive of the BQF, said: ‘Winning a BQF Achievement Award is a fantastic result for any organisation. Skanska has produced exceptional results and made the company a sustainable future leader and a great example to other companies that don’t take sustainability as seriously as they should. An excellent performance.’
