South Affrican cement producer, AfriSam is sponsoring an award for the Biodiversity Category in the 2018 Eco-Logic Awards. The Enviropaedia Eco-Logic Awards, introduced in 2011, are designed to recognise individuals, organisations and communities that positively contribute towards a sustainable world.

The 2018 Eco-Logic Awards gala event will be held on 5 June 2018. The awards have grown in popularity over the years and now cover 13 environmental categories.

The award in the Biodiversity Category, sponsored by AfriSam, recognises an organisation's success in a protection, rehabilitation and mitigation programme and applauds the work in contributing positively to the environment.

"The awards give us a platform from which we can showcase our efforts, learn from each other and encourage more action from all stakeholders. There is no denying that we are in a global warming crisis and we need to intensify our efforts to address issues of climate change. We are the custodians of this earth and we need to do all that is in our power to advance this cause and mitigate the damage already done," says Richard Tomes, sales and marketing executive at AfriSam.
