Biffa is a “very good place to work” according to thousands of its employees who took part in a major engagement survey.
The UK leader in sustainable waste management was awarded a One Star accreditation by Best Companies after more than 7,000 employees answered questions about their working lives.
There are four levels of accreditation: One To Watch (Good), One Star (Very Good), Two Stars (Outstanding) and Three Stars (World Class).
It’s the first time Biffa has taken part in the Best Companies scheme – making the One Star award even more special.

“More than 7,000 employees took the opportunity to have their honest say about what it’s like to work for Biffa.
“As well as the overall One Star – think of it as the workplace equivalent of a Michelin Star - hundreds of individual teams across the Group also achieved one, two and even three stars.
“Biffa has a great culture, and our employees take a huge amount of pride in their work.
“We’re committed to creating an inclusive place to work and offer a range of benefits that support our employees’ wellbeing, alongside our range of family-friendly policies that help them balance their personal and working lives.”
