THE NORTHERN Regional College was honoured at the recent Action Renewables Association Awards in Titanic Belfast.
They scooped first place in the category for Best Training Provider.
Irvine Abraham, NRC business development manager, said: “The college delivered a Responsible Sourcing of Materials (RSM) programme to the construction industry which was the first of its type and engaged with the sector in a systematic process of reducing the carbon inputs at the procurement phase of construction.
“As part of the NI Executive Sustainable Procurement Action Plan (2008-2011) one of its aims was to develop and maintain a sustainable procurement framework including RSM.
“NRC held a series of three seminars which created awareness of RSM amongst construction employers including contractors, local authorities, consultants and building material suppliers.”
