The ‘SPIRIT of Translink Facility Awards’ embrace Translink’s four main corporate responsibility themes – Go Safe, Go Eco, Go Healthy and Go Together – and are judged across key criteria assessing resource efficiency, energy and carbon, biodiversity, health and wellbeing activities, stakeholder, employee and community engagement as well as employee culture, behaviour and leadership.
Translink Environmental Manager Andy Bate said: “These annual Awards celebrate how our employees contribute to delivering our corporate values – The SPIRIT of Translink – Safety, People, Innovation, Responsibility, Integrity and Teamwork, making a positive and lasting difference, improving the passenger journey experience, demonstrating the company’s corporate responsibility focus and instilling a sense of pride in our work space”.
Andy concluded: “Judges will, for example, check for evidence that unnecessary lights are switched off through to staff seeking new ways to use water more efficiently within the Resource Efficiency category. While for Biodiversity, they will look at flower displays/vegetated areas through to practical conservation initiatives and habitat creation; carried out in partnership with a local group or community.”
The SPIRIT of Translink Awards are independently judged by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Chief Executive Ian Humphreys said:
“These awards demonstrate the high value Translink places on its employees in helping them provide the very best experiences for passengers who use Translink facilities to go to work, education, health appointments, visit their families and for leisure and social activities”.
This year the SPIRIT of Translink Facility Awards process has an extra focus on the company’s Go Eco – Biodiversity work as well as Go Healthy.
