Safeway has been shortlisted for the latest UK sustainability reporting award.
The supermarket chain, currently in the middle of a takeover battle, is the only retailer on the 14-strong list, which includes British Airways, BT, Carillion, Lattice, LE Group, Shell, United Utilities, and Vauxhall Motors.
The winner of the award, which is given to the company judged to have produced the best combined social and environmental report in 2002, will be announced on 20 March by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Acca will then also reveal the winners of the separate environmental reporting awards for which Abbey National, Cable & Wireless, Unilever, Thames Water and Go-Ahead are shortlisted, and the social reporting awards, for which no shortlist has been drawn up.
Pakistan’s first environmental reporting awards, organized by Acca, have attracted entries from nine companies, including ICI, Premier Oil, Qarshi Industries, Shell Pakistan, Tetra Pak and Thal Engineering.
