With an award submission showcasing Power Logistics’ efforts to offset its carbon footprint, the company is delighted to have their achievements recognised by this prestigious awards.

In addition, they were able to demonstrate that they had gained full engagement and support from their entire team, with the creation of a staff garden where the team grow fruit and vegetables.

Adam Weightman, Power Logistics’ business development manager said: “I am delighted that all of our dedication and commitment to driving us forward as a sustainable business has been recognised by the Bath Chronicle. Despite being a small company, in terms of head count, we work on a global basis providing temporary power and lighting to concerts, festivals, sporting, corporate and outdoor events. The industry we operate in is guilty of leaving a fairly large carbon footprint and we’re determined to decrease our carbon footprint wherever we can – it has become a real company ethos for us, being energy efficient is at the forefront of everything that we do.”
