A trade body representing members across Paisley has seen its work to tackle carbon emissions in the building materials supply chain shortlisted for three prestigious awards.
The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has reached the finals of the Sustainability Champion and Best New Event awards at the Association Excellence Awards 2022, and is also a finalist in the Best Sustainability Initiative category at the Memcom Awards.
Both sustainability award entries centre around the BMF’s cross-industry commitment to a lower carbon future, which includes the establishment of a forum dedicated to sharing information and support, and clear best practice on working towards zero carbon targets.

The Best New Event shortlist is based on the BMF’s work to showcase sustainable innovation within the building materials supply chain at a Parliamentary Reception.
Held ahead of COP26 in autumn last year, the reception highlighted climate-conscious innovations in British construction products and demonstrated how the supply network has a crucial role to play in heating and hot water systems as well as decarbonising homes.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO, said: “Sustainability is a critical issue for the construction industry.
“It is a credit to our members in Paisley and across the UK that the work they are driving forward has been shortlisted for these prestigious awards, as they take positive steps to reduce emissions and improve sustainability through best practice and innovation.”
“The BMF has set clear sustainability goals and is continuing to work towards the Government’s net zero-carbon target for 2050.”
The Memcom awards will be presented on September 29, and the Association Excellence Awards on October 14. Both events recognise excellence and celebrate achievements in professional membership organisations.
