Queen’s Award for SCSS

The Supply Chain Sustainability School has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development for its work in delivering environmental, social and economic benefits to its members and partners. 

Ian Heptonstall, director of the School said: “When we first floated the idea of an online sustainability learning platform for the built environment industry, we were told it was unlikely that competing companies would collaborate, nor would people use an online training platform. But most of all, that the supply chain were simply not interested in sustainability.

“A decade on and 50,000 people have trained through the School – last year alone we had over 100,000 e-learning downloads. We’re thrilled to receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. I see it as thank-you to all those people who have joined us to collaborate and drive real sustainable change across our industry,” he added. 

School members include clients, contractors and suppliers, including several hire organisations and manufacturers. 

The Award was announced today, which is the Queen’s 96th birthday.
