Interserve also won last year's UK Excellence Award, and since then the company has invested significantly in sustainable development. In spring 2013, it launched its new SustainAbilities plan. This plan represents a more strategic approach to tackling the challenges facing society and the organisation's commitment to sustainable construction. It has set 15 goals with 48 targets to be met by 2020, one of which includes halving its carbon emissions.

The Gold Medal for Excellence is presented annually by the BQF Board of Directors to an organisation that has shown outstanding and continued commitment to excellence over a number of years.
