FEA follows up Memcom award with Trade
Association Forum Best Practice
Award
Having picked up the Best
Sustainability Initiative in the Memcom Excellence Awards late in 2021, FEA has
just won the Sustainability Initiative of the Year award at the Trade
Association Forum Best Practice Awards, at a ceremony in Central
London in February 2022. Both
awards recognised the effectiveness of FEA’s Forest Initiative, which is linked
with environmental charity Trees for Cities and is designed to provide foodservice
equipment suppliers with the platform to offset their carbon footprint.
Memcom is the community that
connects trade associations, such as FEA, charities and other membership
organisations. The Trade Association Forum is the representative body for associations
in the UK. Its Best Practice Awards are supported by the Department of
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Commenting on FEA’s win, the
Memcom judges said they “saw clear aims and targets which seem reasonable and
clearly on track. Member engagement seems high with members, contributing to
the target and they are on track for success!”
Similarly, the Trade Association
Forum judges were “impressed by how quickly the scheme had taken off, with
clear support from members, and how it provided a hands-on process to enable
members to contribute to the drive to net zero.”
FEA marketing manager Adam
Lawrence was delighted that the association had won two accolades for the
Forest Initiative. “Both of these are
influential and prestigious awards and competition is intense,” he said. “To be selected by two sets of judges
underlines the success of the campaign, and we are very grateful to all the
members who have supported it. Trees for
Cities is a fantastic charity that is greening our urban spaces – so it’s good
for both the planet and people’s wellbeing.”
FEA’s Forest Initiative with Trees for Cities is continuing in 2022. This year also sees the introduction of FEA
Planting Days where members can work together planting trees at various
locations across the UK. To find out more
