Press Release Summary: Munro Global companies, FDS International and Maven Research,
collaborated in designing a web-based survey programme and were responsible for
quantitative data collection and data analysis, as well as managing all companies
through the submission process.

Press Release Body: The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards of 2008 took place
on the 14th of May on London\'s South Bank. Munro Global companies, FDS International
and Maven Research, collaborated in designing a web-based survey programme and were
responsible for data collection and analysis, as well as managing all companies
through the submission process. For more information visit www.maven.co.uk.

The awards are based on two data sets for each company. Hard measures such as
carbon footprint, waste production and recycling levels are combined with responses
from an employee survey which probes for attitudes and behaviour towards the
environment.
Will Ullstein of Munro Global said: \"This survey offers an unparalleled insight into
how deeply environmental issues have permeated a company\'s structure. It provides a
benchmark for corporate environmental performance as well as identifying what staff
are thinking and what action they are taking on the shop floor.\"

\"Results demonstrate that many companies have a huge potential resource in their
staff, who clearly have the will and inclination to make their company even
greener.\"
