Northern Star Business Awards and Dinner

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has announced its eagerly-awaited shortlist of finalists for the prestigious Northern Star Business Awards 2010.   Kinnarps are delighted to be one of three finalists for the 'Sustainability Award' , all winners will be decided on 23 September.  

Kinnarps nomination was made by our Head of Local Business for Aberdeen, Carl Hodson, who says:-

"What makes Kinnarps unique is that it controls its whole business from start to finish, and so is able to assume environmental responsibility at every stage and ensure best practice: from sourcing sustainable raw materials to developing greener production systems, and from reusing and recycling leftover materials in its factories to minimising the carbon footprint of its deliveries. 

In recognition of its enduring commitment to the environment, Kinnarps has recently been awarded Green Supplier of the Year status by the Swedish Environmental Management Council, has been re-appointed as preferred supplier to the UK’s Environment Agency and has been selected to supply the interior furnishings to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s new headquarters building in Gland, Switzerland; a building specifically designed to be the World’s most environmentally friendly.

Kinnarps’ philosophy is founded on a commitment to minimising the impact it has on the global environment, a care for people and for their well being, a strong corporate culture determined to deliver best service and the delivery of enduring quality that builds partnerships and long term business.

Kinnarps offers a complete range of services within its standard package, so everything from auditing, space planning, design, delivery and installation is included. There are no hidden extras. It is also able to offer a complete leasing package that can often help clients to overcome budget restrictions and controls."
