Clem Jacob shortlisted for international sustainability award
Waterford-based Clem Jacob has been named a finalist in the Sustainability Award category at the 2026 International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs). The Irish family-owned company is recognized alongside global players for its investments in renewable energy, electric equipment, and lower-emission alternatives to diesel machinery. The IAPA ceremony is scheduled for October 15 in Istanbul, Turkey.
What changed
The company was shortlisted in the Sustainability Award category of the 2026 IAPAs, an event that honors achievements in the powered access industry. Clem Jacob’s nomination highlights its use of renewable energy at a training center and its move toward electric and lower-emission equipment as part of a broader sustainability strategy.
Who is affected
The recognition affects Clem Jacob itself as a business and its staff, alongside its customers and partners who value environmentally friendly equipment. The news may also be of interest to peers in the Irish and international access- equipment community tracking industry standards and sustainability efforts.
Practical next steps
To follow developments, monitor updates from the IAPA awards on the official event site and coverage from industry outlets. For stakeholders in Clem Jacob, consider reviewing how the company’s renewable-energy initiatives (like solar-powered training facilities and battery storage) could influence procurement choices and training services. If you are evaluating equipment options, compare diesel versus electric or lower-emission models and assess total-energy use and maintenance needs.
Limits and questions
Details emphasize recognition rather than comprehensive performance metrics. The report notes a training center powered entirely by solar energy and a battery system, but it does not provide independent verification of emissions or long-term cost savings. Readers may want to seek additional sources for broader context on how the company’s technology compares with peers in the industry.
