Beechfield recognised for continued support of the Carbon Literacy Project

On March 21, Beechfield Brands received an award from the Carbon Literacy Project in recognition of the company’s ongoing support of the climate change project since its inception in 2011.

Purchasing manager Emma Griffiths, who heads up Beechfield Brands’ charity work, and Luca Conte, commercial manager, received the award on the night.

Ms Griffiths said: “Beechfield Brands has supported the Carbon Literacy Organisation for a number of years and it was a great privilege to receive an award to recognise this. A number of Beechfield employees are already Carbon Literate and we are aiming to role this out to the whole company later on this year. Carbon Literacy is part of our commitment to 1% For The Planet, part of this involves volunteering for local environmental charities as well as donating money to charities whose main purpose is guardianship of the planet.

“It’s brilliant to be able to work for a company that gives so much back to environmental charities and it was an honour to be able to accept the award which recognises this on behalf of Beechfield Brands.”

The Carbon Literacy Project enables employers, educators and communities to empower their people to act on climate change through a day’s worth of action-based learning. It has been recognised by the UN and works across seven nations from its base in Manchester.
