Syensqo's Oldbury Site Wins Sustainability Award
Syensqo's Oldbury site, a key part of the company's 'One Planet' programme, has been recognised for its significant contribution to sustainability and biodiversity. The site was awarded in the category of Sustainable Transformation of Industrial Areas at the UK National Sustainability Awards.
The One Planet programme, an environmental initiative by Syensqo, aims to lead in sustainability and preserve natural habitats. While the specific details of the programme are not widely published, it aligns with global efforts to protect species and maintain ecological balance.
The Oldbury site, created by Syensqo, has been shortlisted in the Biodiversity Protection category of the same awards. The site is striving to meet the COP15 '30 by 30' target, which requires transforming 30% of its land into green spaces by 2030.
Ian Fryer, Oldbury Site Manager, expressed pride in the team for meeting and surpassing sustainability goals. The site, which was the recipient of its first external award for biodiversity work, is now home to a variety of wildlife, including wagtails, goldfinches, bees, and butterflies.
Syensqo's plans for the Oldbury site include creating a nature corridor, further enhancing its biodiversity value. The company is also aiming to earn accreditation from the Wildlife Habitat Council for the Oldbury site.
