A printing company is celebrating the renewal of a coveted environmental award.
Beacon Press, in Uckfield, has kept its place on the prestigious Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) roll of honour.
EMAS is a worldwide scheme recognising organisations with advanced environmental management programmes which go beyond minimum legal requirements.
In 1996 Beacon became only the 11th UK company to gain EMAS recognition. Companies are subject to three-yearly reviews to make sure they are maintaining green standards.
The company is striving to achieve zero harmful emissions, uses environmentally-sound paper and alternative transport.
Managing director Richard Osborne said: "Beacon's ambitious long-term programme is designed to minimise any negative impacts our activities might have on the environment and to eliminate them where possible."
