Council Receives Gold Award in Environmental Survey Report

Antrim and Newtownabbey were one of only two councils to receive a gold award in the 2024 Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey.


Over 132 organisations from a range of sectors measured and reported their environmental impacts, and Northern Ireland’s most sustainable organisations were revealed at an event on Wednesday 20 November at Titanic Belfast.

Organised by Business in the Community, sponsored by Moy Park and supported by Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, the Survey scores, recognises, and rewards organisations that are going above and beyond their legal environmental requirements.

Kieran Harding, Managing Director, BITC said: “The Survey is a self-disclosure exercise that offers organisations a way to be externally assessed and scored on their environmental efforts and performance. Participating organisations have access to a Gap Analysis Report to help them to identify areas that need action and highlights where they are performing well, so it’s a comparison tool and real driver for improvement.”
