Silver for CRJ

CRJ Services Achieves Silver Membership in the Groundwork Sustainable Business Awards

We’re proud to share that CRJ Services has been awarded Silver Membership in the Groundwork Sustainable Business Awards, recognising the progress we’re making towards operating in a more sustainable, responsible way.

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important across the forestry, recycling, and waste management sectors — and rightly so. For us, this recognition isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing headlines. It’s about making practical improvements that support our people, our customers, and the environments our machines work in every day.

What Silver Membership Means

The Groundwork Sustainable Business Awards assess businesses against a recognised framework covering environmental impact, social responsibility, and long-term operational practices. Achieving Silver means CRJ has been independently assessed and shown to have clear policies, real actions, and measurable progress in place — going beyond basic compliance.

It confirms that sustainability is not just an intention at CRJ, but something we are actively embedding into how we operate.

A Practical Approach to Sustainability

As a business working with heavy machinery and demanding applications, we understand the responsibility that comes with our industry. Our approach focuses on realistic, achievable improvements, including:

• Improving efficiency and reducing waste across our operations
• Making considered choices around materials, processes, and suppliers
• Supporting our team and promoting safe, responsible working practices
• Playing an active role in our local community and wider industry

Silver membership recognises that these foundations are in place and delivering impact.

Why This Matters to Our Customers

Many of our customers are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate their own sustainability credentials. Working with partners who take this seriously is becoming more important than ever.

This achievement gives customers, suppliers, and stakeholders confidence that CRJ is aligned with the direction the industry is heading — committed to responsible practices while continuing to deliver reliable machinery, service, and expertise.

Looking Ahead

Silver membership is a milestone, not the finish line. It provides a clear framework for where we can continue to improve and how we can measure progress as we move forward.

We see this as part of CRJ’s long-term commitment to building a resilient, responsible business — one that supports our customers today while contributing positively to the industry’s future.

Thank you to the team at Groundwork for the assessment and guidance, and to everyone at CRJ who plays a role in driving the business forward every day.
