Hat's Off to Belfast's Bombardier Aerospace. Belfast Telegraph, July 15, 2008. "The title of Northern Ireland's greenest business could fairly be claimed by Belfast-based Bombardier Aerospace. In the last three months alone, the company has scooped no less than three awards recognising its environmental improvements and development into a high quality working environment. The company says it is undergoing a 'major cultural transformation' after drawing up and, more importantly, acting upon an impressive list of environmental measures -- slashing its carbon emissions by almost 70% since 2005, for example. It has also created eight new jobs by employing a team of recycling specialists on site and appointed around 120 employees as energy wardens. Another 3,000 employees have been trained in conservation and the company is planning to train 2,000 more. It is a measure that could shame many other companies which struggle to persuade workers even to switch off the lights and computers at the end of the day."
