Investors in the Environment
Durham Community Action is delighted to have successfully achieved the Investors in the Environment (iiE) Silver Award following two successful years of achieving Bronze. This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact and embedding sustainable practices across our organisation.
Over the past year, we have continued to take positive steps to improve our environmental performance. From reducing waste and increasing recycling to making more energy-efficient choices, we are proud of the progress we have made. We are also proud to support other organisations as they move forward in their sustainability journey.
Jo Holmes, Managing Director at Genee Consulting, Northern Delivery Partner at Investors in the Environment, said,
“Congratulations to Durham Community Action for achieving Silver accreditation with Investors in the Environment (iiE)! We've loved seeing DCA's environmental management develop since they joined us through the Going Green Together programme in 2022. Their community-facing environmental work also demonstrates the wider impact they have beyond their internal operations.”
