Culina Group, the UK’s largest privately owned logistics supply chain partner, is proud to announce that its subsidiary, iForce, has been recognised with an International Green Apple Environment Award for its outstanding environmental achievements.
The award recognises the work done by iForce, alongside its partner Allwood Recycling Services, to reduce waste, including food waste, and increase the rebate revenue on cardboard, polythene, pallets, and metals.
The win reflects the wider groups’ outstanding contribution to sustainable logistics and our ambitious goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
By introducing new sorting practices and baling technology, alongside improved employee education and training, at its headquarters in Corby, iForce has reduced costs, improved recycling rates and increased revenue. This includes the recovery of around 200 pallets per week which now go back into network and would previously have gone to waste.
Now, selected from over 700 entries worldwide, they are being honoured at a prestigious ceremony in the House of Lords, London, on November 17, 2025. The award not only recognises their accomplishments but also positions iForce as a leader in sustainability.
Following this achievement iForce has also been invited to accept Green World Ambassador status, which includes the opportunity to have its award-winning project published in The Green Book, the leading international reference on environmental best practice. They are also invited to represent their country at the Green World Environment Awards, the premier international showcase of environmental leadership.
Liam McElroy, CEO of Culina Group said: “To see the recognition being gained by iForce for this significant transformation is extremely satisfying for the whole group. It reflects our commitment to being at the forefront of sustainable practices in the logistics sector and is further evidence of the steps we are taking to drive change in our industry.”
The iForce sustainability strategy is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and supported by a cross-functional project team within Culina Group. The company actively engages with customers, suppliers, and industry experts to share best practices and foster a culture of environmental stewardship.
The International Green Apple Awards are run by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-profit group founded in 1994 to recognise, reward, and promote environmental excellence worldwide.
