As our name suggests, we emphasise solutions that take into account our customer's environmental objectives as well as their marketing and budget objectives. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001 standards. For those of you not familiar with ISO 14001, it is the environmental equivalent of the Quality Endorsed ISO 9001 standards. In real terms it means our business has been independently audited to ensure a system is in place to provide our customers with environmentally sound services and products.
We are finding more and more organisations are recognising the importance of a triple bottom line approach to doing business but are often unsure how to go about it. Most people think only of recycled paper as a way of 'doing their bit for the environment'. However, there are many other environmental issues we consider when providing our customers with environmentally sound design and print solutions. We design with paper sizes in mind, minimise ink coverage where possible, offer colour digital printing for short-run projects, have a state-of-the art CTP prepress unit, use vegetable oil based inks on our alcohol-free printing presses, use water based cleaning agents, waste water dilution tanks, and minimise energy and waste products. Our company vehicles are carbon neutral and we are currently looking into making our company’s output, carbon neutral as well. Our first objective is to reduce our carbon emissions and then offset remaining emissions through a carbon neutral program. We are continually striving to find other ways we can lessen our impact on the environment.
