Judges for the award are drawn from the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management and other independent bodies.
TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk’s editor Faye Sunderland says: “We’re incredibly proud to have been given a Green Apple Award. It is an exciting time to be involved in sustainable transport and we feel privileged to be able to cover how the motor industry is working to reduce its environmental impact and produce cleaner, more efficient vehicles.
“There isn’t a day goes by when we don’t learn of some new exciting development, and we work hard to ensure our readers have access to practical greener motoring advice that can help them improve fuel efficiency today as well as explore the futuristic ideas which may drive us to a cleaner tomorrow,” she adds.
