Kenson Highways Ltd has achieved a significant milestone in environmental excellence by winning an International Green Apple Environment Award, a prestigious recognition in the global campaign to identify and celebrate the greenest companies.
Selected from over 1,200 nominations worldwide, Kenson Highways Ltd received this coveted accolade at a glittering awards ceremony held at Kensington Palace, London, on 18 November. The event celebrated organisations committed to sustainability and innovative environmental practices, reinforcing the palace’s historic reputation.
The award was presented by Helen Kitchen, Business Development Manager of Yealands Wines of New Zealand – winners of The 2024 Green World Environment Awards – which takes those awards to New Zealand next spring.
As part of this achievement, Kenson Highways Ltd has been invited to further their success as a Green World Ambassador. This honour includes the publication of their award-winning environmental project in The Green Book, an internationally recognised reference on environmental best practices. Through this publication, Kenson Highways Ltd will inspire and guide others worldwide to adopt sustainable solutions.
The recognition doesn’t end there— Kenson Highways Ltd is then able to represent their country at the upcoming Green World Environment Awards in New Zealand next year. This international platform brings together the world’s leading innovators in sustainability to exchange ideas and further global environmental stewardship.
The Green Apple Awards are organised by The Green Organisation, a respected independent, non-profit environmental group established in 1994. Dedicated to recognising, rewarding, and promoting environmental best practices worldwide, the organisation’s efforts have grown to highlight the critical importance of sustainable action in today’s world.
The independent judging panel of The Green Apple Awards commented “Kenson Highways trialed a net-zero binder course asphalt with ACLA® in partnership with Tarmac and the London Borough of Redbridge. The project, the first of its kind in London, reduced carbon emissions by 68%. Using carbon-negative aggregates and warm mix asphalt, it showcases significant steps toward sustainable road resurfacing and a carbon-neutral future.”
Kensington Palace served as a fitting backdrop, with its royal history and iconic status as a premier venue for hosting globally important events.
