Judges comment:
Creating high quality, cross platform products with the latest technology was the aim
here. Reducing printed copies each month, and increasing awareness and readership
of the digital magazine, has increased the viewing figures year on year. They are now
averaging over 30,000 page views of their 40-page publication Modern Builder, every
month, while saving on paper, print, etc. This environmentally beneficial practice has
been picked up by Virgin Tours Experience in London, for the City Tours Belfast &
Game Of Thrones Location Tours, who have reduced their carbon footprint
considerably.
UB media previously won a National Gold award for Media for Ireland at the House
of Commons, Westminster, London, back in November 2013. Making them a Mutli
award winning company for Ireland.
As a result of this success they have been invited to have their winning paper
published in The Green Book, the leading international work of reference on
environmental best practice, so that others around the world can follow their example
and learn from their experience.
They will also be considered to represent their country in the European Business
Awards for the Environment.
The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and have become established as the
country’s major recognition for environmental endeavour among companies, councils,
communities and countries.
