2025 has been a year of meaningful recognition for JR&Co. Not because we chase awards for their own sake, but because they reflect the care, commitment and undivided attention our people bring to their work every day.

Across sustainability, environmental responsibility and service excellence, these awards recognise teams and projects that quietly raise standards across the business.

Recognised for sustainability leadership

One of the highlights of the year was our Business Support Services Team being named Team of the Year at the National Sustainability Awards. The award recognised the team’s sustained contribution to embedding sustainability into how JR&Co operates, from systems and reporting to everyday decision making.

We were also named winners of the Environmental (ESG) Award at the BICSc Awards. This recognised our responsible and ethical approach to cleaning, and our continued investment in people, processes and sustainable practices across the business.

Shortlisted for positive climate action

Our work on Sustainable Synergy was shortlisted at the IWFM Impact Awards in the Positive Climate Action category. The project brings together waste reduction, smarter resource use and practical collaboration, showing how focused change can deliver real environmental impact.

Gold recognition for innovation and waste management

At the Green Apple Awards, JR&Co received two Gold Awards. These recognised excellence in innovation and waste management, and reinforced the value of taking a long-term, joined-up approach to sustainability rather than chasing quick wins.

Looking ahead to 2026

The year closed with further recognition as JR&Co was named a finalist at the Kimberly-Clark Professional Golden Service Awards. We were shortlisted in two categories, Sustainability Leadership and Going the Extra Mile, with the awards taking place in 2026.

What this recognition means to us

These awards matter because they reflect the work happening behind the scenes. Thoughtful planning. Consistent standards. Teams who care about doing things properly, even when no one is watching.

They also reinforce something we have always believed. When you support people properly and give them the space to focus, better outcomes follow.

We are proud of the recognition. Even more proud of the people behind it.
