Glebe Cottage wins environmental leadership award

Glebe Cottage won the Product Premier Award for its commitment to eco-friendly publishing. The annual competition recognises and rewards companies that protect and enhance the environment without compromising on business performance.

"We were already excited to be the first greetings card publisher to be short listed in the 35-year history of the BCE Awards. Winning the top prize for the product category, which was open to all UK businesses, is simply fantastic. It helps to highlight our long-held belief that absolutely everybody has the power to make the world greener, businesses and individuals alike, It is just a matter of the choices we make," said Glebe Cottage director, Susanna Morrish.

The judges commented: "What impressed us was that Glebe Cottage is truly leading the industry. The environment is fully embedded in Glebe Cottage's business model and they produce every card to a strict environmental standard. This company has taken a conscious decision to target the mass market, not the niche green market, as they believe that this approach will deliver the biggest environmental impact. Furthermore, they have taken every opportunity to tell their competitors about what they are doing so that the industry as a whole can become greener."
