The Excel Telecom Limited approach to business reflects the interests and concerns of our customers, who have been actively engaged in helping to shape our policy of minimising our environmental impact. We believe that this is evidence that structure leads to greater focus on long-term objectives, and to a more sustainable economy.”
Vic Clements of Oakmead Consulting Ltd and chairman of the judging panel for the award commented “The FCS Green awards exist to encourage the communications industry to address environmental issues and to recognise those companies who are making real progress in reducing the adverse environmental impacts of their business processes, products and services.
The ‘Small Business’ award is open to companies with up to 49 employees and all entrants showed a high appreciation of the impacts their businesses have on the environment. This is the first vital step on the road to a sustainable future.”
