The National Magazine Company has been named the second greenest business in Britain in this year’s Sunday Times Green List.
The Esquire and Cosmopolitan publisher rose eight places from last year’s place but was beaten to the top position by London marketing and PR agency Forster.
The Sunday Times survey examined companies’ environmental policies, energy consumption, waste production and recycling.
Researchers also asked staff at each company about their attitude to the green policies in place.
