A move by News Ltd, publisher of The Courier-Mail, to cut its climate change impact paid off last night when it won an Environmental Protection Agency award for environmental leadership.
Under its One Degree initiative, News Ltd set out to lower energy use and be carbon neutral by 2010.
Climate Change Minister Andrew McNamara said at the Gold Coast awards ceremony News Ltd was one of five southeast Queensland companies to win innovation awards, the others being ALDI, Consolidated Rutile, Leightons and RedFlow -- the maker of a renewable energy system.
He said the awards were meant to highlight the Government's vision of a strong, smart and green Queensland.
"They showcase business leaders, companies and technologies that have set new benchmarks in environmental performance,'' he said.
