Daragh Anglim, judging co-ordinator, Green Awards, with Mark Reidy, Sinead Murphy and Elaine O'Connell, The Shannon Airport Group
THE Shannon Airport Group has been named the winner of not one, but two, Green Awards: Green Public Sector Organisation of the Year and Green Large Organisation of the Year.
The Green Awards are considered one of the premier platforms for celebrating excellence in sustainability across Ireland and acknowledge organisations that are leading the way in environmental innovation, sustainable business practices and climate action.
Commenting on the double win, Sinead Murphy, head of sustainability at The Shannon Airport Group said: “We’re really delighted, and honoured, to have won both Green Awards. 2025 was an important year for us as we made significant strides across all aspects of our sustainability strategy.

“We continued to reduce carbon emissions which saw the airport achieve Level 3 Airport Carbon Accreditation last month. We launched our Solar PV farm, which will supply up to 20% of the airport’s annual electricity needs, and we continued to enhance biodiversity and integrate circular economy principles.”
“We’re very proud of that work and to have it recognised on a national platform, among other strong and respected fellow nominees, is really appreciated. I’d like to say a big thank you to our sustainability team and to colleagues across the entire Group for making sustainability a core part of their everyday working life.”
This year’s Green Awards had over 300 entries.
This latest success marks a strong start to 2026 for The Shannon Airport Group and builds on an impressive 2025, during which it won the Environment & Biodiversity award at the Chambers Ireland Awards.
