The SECC has awarded its next coveted 'Champion' accolade to
Trees for Life in acknowledgement of the 68,000+ trees the charity

The SECC has worked with Trees for Life for the past three years
and is committed to the planting of a number of groves for events
booked at the venue. Alan Watson Featherstone, Executive Director

where the trees have been planted.
"Corporate and Social Responsibility continues to grow in
importance amongst our clients, visitors and staff," comments Ben
Goedegebuure. "We're really proud of our green credentials; it
gives us the chance to balance any negative effects our events have
on the environment. Everyone at the SECC is incredibly proud of the
massive contribution our venue has made to Trees for Life."
"The SECC's contribution to the Dundreggan is vast; their
support has enabled us to plant 68,000 trees and makes them one of
the biggest of our valued supporters," comments Alan Watson
Featherstone. "We're delighted to accept this award on behalf of
the SECC and its clients."
