Ian Jackson, managing director of Imerja, has been awarded the prestigious Institute of Directors (IoD) Yorkshire Bank Ackroyd award, which recognises outstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Jackson was also a finalist for the Lancashire Director of the Year Award.
Jackson commented: “I am delighted to have won this award, although it is really down to the team at Imerja who have remained committed to the company’s environmental policies and continually supported our corporate charities.
“IT offers so many solutions to help businesses reduce their carbon footprint, which should be embraced. Imerja is constantly working to offer businesses opportunities to be more ‘green’. With the Carbon Reduction Commitment due to be enforced in April 2010 for companies with an annual electricity bill of up to £500,000, businesses should really be considering now how to limit their usage.”
