AN AWARD-WINNING ORGANISATION

Achievements

Recycle IT is absolutely delighted to announce our organisation has been shortlisted for the Sustainable Business Impact Awards 2022 operated by Chambers Ireland supported by Department of Rural and Community Development and BAM Ireland.

The Sustainable Business Impact Awards are a flagship accolade and most prestigious.  Our inclusion on the shortlist reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and their work in the world of recycling!

The Sustainable Business Impact Awards showcase best practice in sustainable business development and social responsibility undertaken by companies of all sizes across Ireland. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are at the heart of these Awards, celebrating sustainable business practices and championing Chambers Ireland’s alignment with the Goals.

What shortlisting mean to us?

For us, it is recognition that our work promoting and offering recycling opportunities, our standards, our customer service, and a focus on supporting employment in the sector is to be recognised.

Being shortlisted is great for team morale and really emphasizes our passion and experience within the social enterprise and waste management sectors. Everyone in the team has contributed to the success of our entry and the success of our social enterprise!

Minister of Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, stated,

“Social Enterprises provide a vital role in their communities. This was particularly so during Covid-19 when so many Social Enterprises went above and beyond. I’m therefore delighted to support these awards, which contribute to improving the opportunities for social enterprises in the business-to-business supply chain. Sponsorship of the ‘Partnering with a Social Enterprise’ category underscores my commitment to supporting Social Enterprises and to the ongoing delivery of the National Social Enterprise Policy.”

Awards Ceremony

The winners across 14 categories will be announced at an awards ceremony in Dublin on September 22nd, 2022.  Congratulations to all shortlisted, we can’t wait to celebrate with you. We’ve got our fingers and toes crossed. You can read more here.
