Seacourt Limited began trading in 1946 and boasts a range of high profile national customers. Sustainable development is core to the business<br />
strategy and the company is committed to delivering high quality printed material with the lightest environmental impact. It has pursued<br />
this commitment for 20 years, demonstrating continuous achievement and an ability to re-think the approach rather than simply relying on<br />
improved efficiency of existing technologies. The company became a zero waste to landfill company in 2009 and has driven the development<br />
of new printing press technology, in partnership with a leading printing press manufacturer. This innovation (the LightTouch process) is a unique<br />
waterless printing press that incorporates an LED drying unit. The company supports local charities and events. Impressive sector leadership is<br />
demonstrated and suppliers are selected on the basis of their ability and willingness to improve the sustainability of their supply chain. Seacourt<br />
Limited also received an award in this category in 2007 and 2011.<br />

Wates Group is one of the UK’s largest family-owned construction and development companies and began trading in 1897 . The company<br />
has had a formal approach to managing sustainable development as outlined in ‘Reshaping tomorrow’, a programme that prioritises the<br />
health & safety, environmental, diversity & inclusion and community issues within the company’s influence. The company aims to strengthen<br />
relationships with customers, partners and the communities it works in. It demonstrates exemplary and innovative performance in a number of<br />
areas, particularly for supporting education in deprived areas, engagement with social enterprises through our supply chain and its approach<br />
to equalities and support for helping young people and long-term unemployed people into work. There is a continued commitment to reduce<br />
carbon emissions by 10% annually, and 98% of waste is currently diverted from landfill. Its work with the Supply Chain Sustainability Academy<br />
also demonstrates exemplary performance in procurement, improving the sustainability performance of suppliers. This award follows another<br />
award in the Sustainable Development category in 2011.<br />
