THE GREEN ORGANISATION

The Green Organisation is an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world.

While we support the work of other environmental groups that play the role of environmental watchdog, there is also a need for an organisation like ours that concentrates more on the positive aspects of environmental endeavour - the carrot as well as the stick.

We are best known for organising The International Green Apple Environment Award campaigns - one for environmental best practice, and one for enhancing our built environment and architectural heritage.

Our work began in 1994 and experience has shown that many have followed the examples of environmental best practice demonstrated by our Green Apple Award winners.

They have recognised the benefits and profits that can come in the wake of environmental best practice, so they have sound business reasons for following our winners' lead - as well as taking responsibility for the safekeeping of our environment for generations to come.

The Green Organisation is funded by membership and sponsorship, with valuable support from the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Municipal Journal and several other professional bodies.
