3F Bio, EGG Lighting, Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Spruce Carpets Limited and Wood have each made the cut for their contribution to Scotland’s sustainability.
The VIBES awards are now in their 19th year and the winners will be announced during a ceremony on Wednesday, November 14 at Radisson Blu in Glasgow.
Bob Downes, SEPA chair and head of the VIBES judging panel, said: “The VIBES – Scottish Environment Business Awards are a great chance to recognise business leadership in sustainable environmental investment. This is at the core of SEPA’s One Planet Prosperity regulatory strategy. New approaches for delivering environmental improvements provide businesses with opportunities to enhance their sustainability and economic performance.
“The awards celebrate businesses which are already stepping up to this challenge and are leading by example. The awards are an excellent opportunity to recognise and reward these companies for going beyond “business as usual” and driving sustainable growth through innovation.
“It is very encouraging to see so many of Scotland’s businesses leading the way and making a difference which will not only support the environment but also protect their bottom line. I would like to congratulate each of this year’s finalists and wish them luck for November’s ceremony.”
