The SECC has awarded its next coveted ‘Champion’ accolade to Trees for Life in acknowledgement of the 68,000+ trees the award-winning conservation charity has planted on behalf of the venue in Scotland’s Caledonian Forest.
The SECC has worked with Trees for Life for the past three years and is committed to the planting of a number of groves for events booked at the venue. Alan Watson Featherstone, Executive Director & Founder, Trees for Life accepted the accolade from Ben Goedegebuure, Sales Director of the SECC, at the charity’s Dundreggan Estate where the trees have been planted.
“Corporate and Social Responsibility continues to grow in importance amongst our clients, visitors and staff,” comments Ben Goedegebuure. “We’re really proud of our green credentials; it gives us the chance to balance any negative effects our events have on the environment. Everyone at the SECC is incredibly proud of the massive contribution our venue has made to Trees for Life.”
“The SECC’s contribution to the restoration of the Caledonian Forest is vast; their support has enabled us to plant 68,000 trees and makes them one of the biggest of our valued supporters,” comments Alan Watson Featherstone. “We’re delighted to accept this award on behalf of the SECC and its clients.”
The SECC is announcing 25 Champions throughout its 25 Year celebrations covering people and organisations that have contributed to the sustained success of the venue.
