Sindicatum Wins Green Business Awards 2011

SINGAPORE, Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sindicatum Sustainable Resources Group yesterday won two Green Business Awards (http://www.greenbusinessawards.com/), for excellence in the Renewable Energy and Carbon Reduction categories. The awards were presented at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 1 November 2011.

The Green Business Awards, sponsored by Environmental Data Services (ENDS, http://www.ends.co.uk/), the leading provider of environmental and carbon intelligence for business in Britain and across Europe, are prestigious awards celebrating excellence in green practice, strategy and products. They seek out and scrutinize the most innovative, ambitious and effective initiatives by businesses for achieving environmental sustainability, and implementing smart business practice.  Sindicatum competed with major corporations such as Thames Water, Drax Power and Tarmac. Other awards participants included Marks & Spencer, Samsung, the Co-operative Society and E.On.

Sindicatum Group CFO, Michael Boardman said: "We are very proud of having been selected by the judges as winners of both awards - the award in the Renewable Energy category is particularly poignant, in light of the current events in Thailand: we are contributing to the relief effort in the country not just by continuing to produce clean power despite the adverse weather conditions but also by contributing financially and materially to the relief effort in our local communities.   Awards and recognition from organisations such as the Green Business Awards allow us to intensify our efforts and motivate further our staff in this difficult environment."

Other awards won by Sindicatum in 2011 include the Carbon Finance Transaction of the Year award by Environmental Finance (http://www.environmental-finance.com/) and the Most Progressive Corporate Leader award by the Association for Sustainable & Responsible Investment in Asia, awarded to Assaad Razzouk, Group CEO (http://www.asria.org/ and http://conference.asria.org/awards/2011/).
