Gold award from Green Business Tourism Scheme for Henley Business School

Henley's aim to implement proactive measures to help safeguard and sustain the local, national and global environment has been nationally acknowledged by the Green Tourism Business Scheme. Henley Business School at the University of Reading, is one of the first Business Schools in the UK to achieve a gold award under the new version of the rigorous criteria.

The Green Tourism Business Scheme is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK. The scheme honours venues that demonstrate high levels of commitment
in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable business and tourism with bronze, silver and gold awards. Award winners are scrutinised on over 145 separate measures by external assessors before being appointed the relevant award.

Alan Brand, Director of Hotel and Estate Services at Greenlands commented:
'It is our aim to become an industry leader in environmental management and contribute to a sustainable future. We are therefore delighted to receive recognition for our efforts so far and we will continue to strive to do all we can as a business to protect the environment at Greenlands for future generations. Our Business School clients and Conference Organisers are increasingly looking for venues with 'green' credentials, so we're delighted that we can now host events with minimal impact on the environment. This award follows our recent success in achieving ISO 14001 accreditation which is the internationally accepted standard in recognition for implementing an effective Environmental Management System.'
