As our business grows, we’re firm believers that it is our corporate responsibility to be mindful of the impact we have on the environment. With that in mind, we will always strive to ensure that our products are ethically sourced, and everything we do – including our print production – is as sustainable as possible.
We are proud that, as the times change and technology develops, so do we. This is no small feat; however, we will continue to collaborate with our suppliers to ensure that as our business progresses, our impact on the planet lessens.
All of our printed materials are sourced from environmentally-aware suppliers. It is of utmost importance to use that all print suppliers echo our commitment to being environmentally conscious, and operate in-line with the ISO 14001 Environmental Accreditation, ensuring that they operate at the best possible environmental standards.
Where possible, our printed materials are sourced from sustainable forests and all of our suppliers operate a robust and comprehensive Recycling & Water Management system. Amongst our supplier lists are the winners of Environmental Printer of the Year 2016/7 in the Print Week Awards 2006.
