BISON are Sustainability & Decarbonisation Business of the Year Winners!

Last night we attended The Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce Awards at Westenhanger Castle where we received our award. This means so much to us as it symbolises the hard work and commitment the team has put in during such tough times.

Why is climate justice so important to us?

• For the first time in our planet’s 4.5 billion year history a single species (humans) is dictating the future
• We have made enough concrete to cover the whole surface of Earth in a layer 2mm thick
• We move more soil, rock and sediment each year than all the natural processes combined
• There are 1.4 billion motor vehicles, 2 billion personal computers and more mobile phones than humans on earth
• The current weight of all land mammals in the world is made up of 30% humans, 67% livestock and 3% wild animals
• 10,000 years ago wild animals made up 99.95% of the weight
• The last 400 years there have been 789 species confirmed extinct

 

 

What about BISON ? …

• We print – print’s a ‘shrinking market’!
• We make signs – manufacturing is ‘dirty’!

However rather than pleading hardship my wonderful team took a leap of faith back in 2020 and embraced the challenge – to create high quality brands, printing and signage without creating pain or suffering to our planet or any creature on it.

 

 

Our guests of honour for the evening were Tanith Brown of The Big Cat Sanctuary and James Beasley of Bemco Electrical. Collaboration, selflessness and belief have been integral in our progress. Bemco Electrical were one of the companies responsible for supplying renewable upgrades to BISON that has enabled us to manufacture cleaner products and services for clients including The Big Cat Sanctuary whose purpose is conservation and sustainability.

 

 

I would like to thank ….

Every one of my awesome team for the great lengths they have gone to including two unsung heroes – my amazing parents/company founders Melanie and Les Bidewell who sit silently behind the scenes.

Our suppliers, who we have challenged and worked with to ensure we receive the very best “planet first” options (you know who you are).

Our clients who trust in us to deliver.

And finally a massive thank you to Neil Vanstone, Paul Brooks, Kaz Macklin, Tudor Price, Jo James OBE , Morag Welham and all of team KICC for putting on a first-class awards night.

Here’s to a kinder, cleaner, greater future.

Here’s to our people, planet and successful profitable business.

Mark and team BISON
