Our Environmental Sustainability Journey
We have embarked on an ambitious sustainability journey, and we are looking at our contributions to the environmental and social issues of our world and the governance around this to support our contribution to making our world a better place.
One of the aspects we consider carefully is the environment, and our commitment to sustainability covers:
CO2 emissions
We have worked hard to make sure we continue to lower our CO2 emissions including:
All our electricity is from a 100% renewable energy electricity supplier.
90% LED lighting on premises, with sensor controls.
We operate modern and energy efficient machinery.
Our company vehicles are mainly electric, and our strategy is to transition to all electric as our vehicles are changed.
We installed 8 new EV chargers April 2022, complementing the 2 already on site. These chargers are made available to all staff for free.
We have implemented CO2 emission scope 1 and 2 reporting.
Through collaboration with our paper merchants, we carbon balance all the paper we purchase.
Paper, products and packaging
We support responsible forest management, holding both FSC® and PEFC certifications.
All our paper is carbon balanced through our collaboration with our paper merchants.
All our prints are readily recyclable using standard deinking processes.
Our packaging boxes are completely recyclable including recyclable paper tape, and our bubble wrap is made from 50% recycled plastic.
If you would like to use FSC® or PEFC™ paper, or carbon balance your print products, please just let us know, all of which can be highlighted on your literature using the relevant logos.
Machines and inks
Our core presses support an impactful environmental and sustainability message:
97% of components are recyclable or re-manufacturable.
More than 80% (by weight) of waste generated can be returned, reused, or recycled.
They emit 80% less noise than a typical offset press.
We use toners (“dry inks”) which are 100% toxicologist safety approved. They do not generate hazardous waste, use VOC solvents or petroleum distillates.
The toner containers have nearly 100% transfer rate efficiency resulting in minimal waste and clean up.
Waste management
We have zero waste going to landfill – 86% goes to recycling and the remainder is diverted waste.
All our electronic waste is collected and sent for recycling through certified and approved providers.
