FCC Environment UK, FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente subsidiary in the United Kingdom, has once again won a series of prestigious awards from the British Safety Council (BSC) recognising both the hard work of the operational teams on the ground and the tireless efforts of the SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment and Quality) team in reinforcing and enhancing excellence in performance and behaviours across the business.

Lincolnhire EfW facility in North Hykeham and the Landfill & Quarries Division were both awarded the ultimate prize, a Sword of Honour following maximum five-star audit results earlier in the year. This award is for companies which have demonstrated excellence in the management of health and safety risks at work.

The business was also one of only 9 winners, awarded a Globe of Honour for its efforts at its Eastcroft Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant, demonstrating they are the best of the best in environmental & sustainability,  as well as a five-star audit result at its Allington EfW plant in Kent, demonstrating its commitment towards the continual improvement of their health and safety management systems and associated arrangements, and reflective of a best practice organisation.

Paul Stokes, Head of Safety, Health, Environment & Quality (SHEQ) said: “We are thrilled to have received these awards, taking us to an unprecedented 5 Swords of Honour. The team is committed to upholding the highest health and safety standards and we are proud to be recognised for all our hard work. We will continue to try and improve our practices and hope to be recognised for this in future as well!”

FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente has been present in the UK market through its subsidiary FCC Environment UK since 1989 and is one of the five largest local waste management operators.
