Bambino Mio has received a second royal seal of approval, by winning a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, Sustainable Development Award.
The award was presented by HM Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, James Saunders Watson Esq, to Bambino Mio founder, Guy Schanschieff, during a small ceremony at the brand’s head office in Brixworth, Northampton.
The award for Sustainable Development recognises Bambino Mio’s commitment to sustainable practices with a positive pursuit to make reusable nappies the first choice for parents to reduce the waste that single-use disposable nappies create.
Two Northamptonshire businesses won a Queen’s Award in 2022, and Bambino Mio was the only company in the Midlands to win a Sustainable Development Award. Just 31 companies in the whole of the UK received one in 2022.
Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, James Saunders Watson Esq, commented: “I was delighted to present Bambino Mio with The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, Sustainable Development Award. Achieving such a prestigious award is an incredible honour, offering businesses many benefits, as well as an opportunity to celebrate their successes.”
Guy added: “Further royal recognition from such a respected awards body is something that our team is extremely proud of. This is another accolade that acknowledges to the world that we are committed to sustainable development practices and are driving a reusable revolution to reduce single-use disposable nappy waste.”
This is the second Queen’s Award for Enterprise that Bambino Mio has been awarded, after previously achieving the International Trade award for The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in 2020.
Cllr Daniel Lister, West Northamptonshire Council’s cabinet member for economic development, town centre regeneration and growth, said: “Bambino Mio is a shining example of business excellence in West Northants and they’re paving the way towards achieving Net Zero ambitions which we at West Northants Council wholeheartedly share.
“We hope that Bambino Mio’s success will spur many more local employers to consider applying for these auspicious awards, receiving global recognition and representing the pride of West Northants. Well done to everyone at Bambino Mio, we can’t wait to see what you do next and to help you achieve it.”
