Gold Award for Woodbridge Tide Mill
Woodbridge Tide Mill awarded Gold Level Suffolk Carbon Charter for third time
The Suffolk Carbon Charter panel has awarded Woodbridge Tide Mill a Gold level award of the Suffolk Carbon Charter. The Tide Mill previously received the Award in 2020 and 2022.
The Carbon Charter is awarded to companies that monitor and reduce their carbon emissions; it provides public recognition of those involved in making Suffolk the Greenest County. To achieve the Gold Charter the Mill demonstrated that it had a working energy/carbon reduction policy with clear reduction targets and planned actions in place to measure and monitor progress. It showed it is making significant and measurable progress on carbon reduction and demonstrated a clear and credible plan for achieving Net Zero.
John Carrington, Chair of the Woodbridge Tide Mill Charitable Trust, said, “The Mill has been a low energy, low mileage, local food producer for over 850 years, well before climate change became an issue. Now that carbon reduction is a world target, the Mill Trustees are immensely grateful for the work our team has done to use the Mill to demonstrate energy efficiency and justify this Gold Charter Mark”.
He went on to thank the East of England Coop, one of only two Pathfinder Partners of Suffolk Carbon Charter, who sponsored the Tide Mill for the award, some of whose local stores stock Tide Mill flour.
