Judges were looking for evidence of programmes, changes and measurable results when weighing up entries for the Environmental Company of the Year. With DST, there were plenty across its seven sites.

In 2015 the company published its first sustainability report on strategies and programmes. Last year the company measured CO2 emissions from forklift trucks, generators, transport, heating, hot water and air conditioning systems, waste streams and paper production. “It’s great to see DST taking such strides to put the environment so high up its agenda,” said judges. “And while they may have come to the party late, the results are impressive.” ISO 50001 energy management standard is being implemented across all sites while careful auditing proves saving energy can save you money, from around £1,000 in lighting at the Bristol base to £55,581 in reduced over-production in Nottingham.

Last year’s winner almost made it two in a row, for which the judges were duly impressed: “With such a strong history in environmental best practice, maintaining this level of constant improvement is very impressive.” Park Communications improved across 13 key areas: 42% reduced sales management spoilage, 2% reduced electricity consumption, 22% reduced gas use in press and bindery, and on they go, protecting the environment, improving business processes and cutting costs.
