Crown Paints’ green team celebrate top title

Staff at Crown Paints are celebrating after clinching a major award for their teamwork and commitment towards creating a more sustainable future.

The Darwen-based company secured The Grichan Partnership's Sustainable Business Award in the 2015 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards.

The UK paint manufacturer was revealed as the winner for its pioneering Earthbalance® sustainability programme at the award’s gala dinner held at Park Lane’s Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

“Crown’s brand is focused on the fact that ‘it’s not just paint, it’s personal’. As such, our business is as much about our people as our products and that’s reflected in the way our staff, suppliers and clients have supported the activity.”

“They not only showed us how the projects they are involved in are truly transformational, but have inspired us all here on the judging panel. We would like to congratulate them on winning this award.”

Rather than applying environmental benefits to niche products, or compromising on the quality of products to achieve green goals, the company has changed the way it does business, particularly in manufacturing, with the emphasis on innovation and staff engagement to achieve its green goals.
