Dawn Country Meats in Mayo is one of 15 companies to have secured funding from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Cleaner Greener Production Programme (CGPP) earlier this year. “Dawn Meats investment combined with CGPP funding has allowed us to research innovative ways of reducing our carbon footprint and become a more environmentally sustainable organisation”

This is the fourth phase of EPA funding for companies that improve business practices and establish eco-efficiency in producing goods and services in more environmentally friendly ways, targeting the minimisation of emissions through cleaner production methods. The objective is to achieve a balance between economic activity and protection of the environment, across various sectors, such as manufacturing, food processing, IT, services etc

The long-term aim is to try to ensure that cleaner greener production and eco-efficiency become the established norm in Ireland.  The EPA hope that other businesses will learn from and build on past success stories and that will work towards CGPP’s tagline objective:
“Better Business in a Better Ireland”.
