FCC Environment UK, a subsidiary of FCC enviro in the United Kingdom and the country's leading resource and waste management company, has been awarded three new Swords of Honour by the British Safety Council. These awards were given to its Energy from Waste plants in Millerhill (Scotland), Allington (Kent) and Greatmoor (Aylesbury), and they join five previous Swords of Honour already held by the company, bringing the total to eight. 

These distinctions, awarded since 1980 by the British Safety Council, recognise organisations that have achieved excellence in health, safety, wellbeing and environmental management. The highest five-star rating in the audits demonstrates a strong culture of good practice that extends to all departments and levels of the company. 

In addition, the company received the Sector Award, which, since 2024, has recognised both the work of the operational teams in the field and the tireless efforts of the Safety, Health, Environment and Quality team to reinforce and improve excellence in the company's performance.

Speaking about this achievement, FCC Environment’s Head of Safety, Health, Environment & Quality, Paul Stokes said: ‘We are delighted to have received these awards and we are deeply committed to creating a safe working environment for our workers. Winning a Sword of Honour is no small feat, and doing so for three of our plants in a single year is testament to our staff, their dedication and commitment to safety in the workplace.’

The recognition highlights FCC Environment’s continued excellence in health, safety, wellbeing, and environmental management. Together, the three newly awarded plants process around 1.05 million tonnes of non-recyclable waste annually, generating electricity to power approximately 867,000 homes across the UK.

The British Safety Council is a non-profit organisation that strives to protect working people from accidents, hazards and unsafe conditions. It plays a key role in the political process that has led to the historic adoption of safety legislation in the United Kingdom.
