Henry Brothers has received an award for Environmental Best Practice at the Green Apple Environment Awards.

The Northern Ireland based construction company received the award for its work on SportPark Pavilion 4, built for Loughborough University. The award which recognises the company's commitment to sustainable partnerships was presented at the Houses of Parliament.

Henry Brothers launched its 'Journey to Net Zero' strategy in 2022 which outlined its ambitious plans to reduce its carbon emissions by 2 per cent each year by 2030.

Ian Taylor, Managing Director at Henry Brothers Construction, said: "It is fantastic to have been recognised on an international level for our efforts to help Loughborough University decarbonise its estate.

"Having achieved Passivhaus Classic accreditation, widely regarded as the most challenging energy efficiency and comfort standards in the world, SportPark Pavillion 4 adds to our already impressive portfolio of sustainable builds.

"This accolade is testament to the dedication of our staff to make a meaningful impact on the communities in which we operate and further strengthens our commitment to net zero."

Joel Callow, Founding Director of Beyond Carbon Associates, worked alongside Henry Brothers to obtain Passivhaus Classic accreditation for the build. He said: "We are delighted that one of our favourite Passivhaus projects has won this prestigious award.

"A notable achievement for Henry Brothers and setting a great example both for the region and nationally, as Sportpark Pavilion 4 is one of the very few certified Passivhaus office buildings in the UK.

"Great leadership by Loughborough University."
