Sustain has been recognised as one of the top performing businesses in the South West.
It has been named as a 'Beacon' company in the region, a status given to pioneering and rapidly expanding companies from all sectors which demonstrate outstanding achievement across a range of criteria from productivity and performance to work, culture and innovation.
The award was given by Beacon South West - a business initiative funded by the South West Regional Development Agency which brings leading companies within the region together to share ideas and experience.
Bristol-based Sustain is a leader in carbon reduction, with a track record of delivering results within key industries including energy supply, construction, the public sector and the built environment. One of the few companies chosen to work with the Carbon Trust, Sustain offers expertise in carbon footprinting. It is also a major player in CERT (Carbon Emissions Reduction Target), a Government initiative to reduce carbon emissions.
Tobias Parker, chief executive at Sustain, said: "We believe partnerships are the key to better practices and work closely with our clients to offer a complete service to help them manage and reduce their carbon emissions to drive commercial advantage. We look forward to forging business relationships within Beacon South West's prestigious network of top companies."
Neil Higginson, facilitator of the Bristol Beacon South West board room, explains: "Sustain is a creative and innovative company, particularly recognised for its effective strategic planning, company management culture and continued business growth. Evolving with the market, like all Beacon companies, Sustain leads industry - not just regionally but nationally, even globally too. They are a welcome addition to the Beacon South West forum and will gain as much as they offer; expertise, insight and acumen."
Sustain joins Beacon companies including Aardman Animations, ROK and Good Energy. Beacon South West brings together more than 200 of the region's most pioneering and rapidly expanding organisations, providing an environment for exploring new ideas and strategies with other successful companies.
