EDP Community Impact award
V C Cooke on award shortlist
V C Cooke has been shortlisted for the Eastern Daily Press, Business of the Year "Community Impact" Award.
"The three finalists in the Community Impact category are all leading examples of how firms and their employees can make a positive difference to local life.
One finalist is the East anglian arm of a publicly quoted construction firm. Another is a waste management firm which is looking to make a sustained contribution to community life. The third ploughs the money it makes into services to support the young people of Norfolk"
V C Cooke Ltd
Working within the community to deliver real measurable and sustinable community impact is fully integrated into the business strategy of waste management company V C Cooke in ellough.
Whether it is growing local partnerships, using the supply chain, rewarding success or recruitment initiatives, the company makes a positive impact in the community.
Education work is exemplary, with local school visits and projects a regular feature. However, it is the sheer number of local projects which make this a strong entry.
Coupled with policies designed to change our behaviour around waste, all embedded in to the business strategy, V C Cooke is making a real difference.
