Jo Bird are delighted to be short listed for the EIC awards 2021! We have been shortlisted for three categories, namely diversification, export and sustainability. This reflects the dedication shown by the team at Jo Bird at diversifying into offshore wind, along with finding new export markets despite the challenges created by Covid. Both the EIC and the DIT have provided invaluable help in bringing this about.
Also with the help of SWMAS and Balanced Energy, being one of the first companies in the South West to make the Future net zero pledge to reduce CO2. A lot of incremental steps have been taken to achieve a significant reduction in CO2 already through new production processes and changes to the way the company operates. Not just CO2 but reductions in airborne pollution and waste too.
Our thanks then to Stuart R Broadley and the great team at the EIC and we look forward to the 2nd of December to see who the winners are. Regardless of the results, this recognition helps to spur companies on to make the changes we all know need to happen.
