Caru Cymru Business Award - Keep Wales Tidy

More than ever, businesses in Wales are realising the role they have to play in tackling litter and waste.

This award recognises organisations and businesses that have shown their love for Wales by helping to keep their local environment clean, safe, and inviting.

We are looking for organisations and businesses that have gone above and beyond their statutory duties. This could mean cleaning up in the wider community, reducing waste produced by staff and customers, or even cutting carbon emissions.

This category is open to any organisation and business.

With thanks to category sponsor Berry Global.
