Five Donegal companies have gained Origin Green Gold Membership Awards for sustainability excellence in 2022.
Origin Green, Ireland’s food and drink sustainability programme, has awarded 55 food and drink companies Gold Membership in recognition of their industry leading sustainability ambitions in 2022.
The Donegal awardees are: Sliabh Liag Distillers, Errigal Bay, Filligans Ltd, Kinnegar Brewing and NORFISH LTD.
The companies have all achieved exceptional annual performance on their sustainability targets in areas such as raw material sourcing; water and energy efficiency; waste reduction; packaging; and social sustainability based on the assessment of its independent verification authority, Mabbett.
Deirdre Ryan, Director of Origin Green and Sustainable Assurance at Bord Bia, said: “Our annual Gold Member event, now in its third year, recognises the efforts of companies which have achieved exceptional annual performance across their sustainability targets. It’s wonderful to see the range of awardees from all areas of the industry this year, as the assessment of Gold Membership allows smaller companies to be recognised alongside large organisations for the strength of their sustainability achievements.”
