The award was handed to Abaca MD Rhiannon Rowley by Jake Griffiths of the Wales Green Business Centre.

“The testing for the award is rigorous and it is an ideal standard for businesses with significant environmental credentials, such as Abaca.
“We take a whole host of environmental management factors into account and firms also get rewarded for their work within the community and their charitable work.
“In the case of Abaca, everyone at the business has worked very hard to achieve the award.
“We hope the plaque and the certificate now gets pride of place in the business as it is a great example for others to follow.”
