Greening the Third Sector - enter the Sustainable City Awards 2011/12:

Every year, the City of London Corporation runs the Sustainable City Awards in collaboration with a number of other partners. These awards are designed to highlight good practice in corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.

The City Bridge Trust assists one of the Livery Companies, the Worshipful Company of Patternmakers, with the award category entitled “Greening the Third Sector”. This category, specifically for voluntary and community groups across London, aims to reward organisations that have made significant improvements in their environmental practices by reducing waste, using energy and water more efficiently and cutting down on transport and resource use.

We very much hope that you will submit an application for this award. The application documentation is all online and can be found at www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/sca.
