"We’re especially proud of the Thady’s Hill project, which showcases our innovative approach to biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. It’s a powerful example of what can be achieved through collaboration, and we’re thrilled that it has been recognised by both Chambers Ireland and the ICCLA. These nominations inspire us to continue driving positive environmental and social impact across our operations," Ms Murphy added. 

The Chambers Ireland 2025 Outstanding Achievement in Sustainable Business Impact Award nomination reflects the Group’s long-standing commitment to embedding sustainability across its operations. Key initiatives include a carbon reduction strategy aligned with national climate targets, investment in renewable energy infrastructure and the integration of circular economy principles. The Group also demonstrates strong social impact through community partnerships, education and skills development and inclusive employment practices.

The Group’s Biodiversity Enhancement and Conservation Grazing Project at Thady’s Hill has been shortlisted in the Environment and Biodiversity category of the Chambers Ireland Awards and as Biodiversity Project of the Year at Ireland’s Climate Change Leadership Awards. This initiative, launched ahead of National Biodiversity Week 2025, is part of the Group’s five-year Biodiversity Action Plan and marks Ireland’s first conservation grazing project on airport-owned land.

Winners of the Chambers Ireland Sustainable Business Impact Awards will be announced on Wednesday, September 24 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, Dublin. The ICCLA award winners will be announced on October 3 at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin.

Best of luck!
