Sustainability
Further reading on responsible forestry
and the environment:
As a commercial and fine art printing business, there’s no getting round the fact we rely on paper. It’s why we’ve put recycling and paper sustainability right at the heart of our business – using only what we need and re-using what we can. All our inks and papers are environmentally friendly, and all our waste is carefully controlled through processing and recycling. What’s more, we’re dedicated to making improvements in our environmental performance, and pay special attention to these issues:
- Meeting or exceeding relevant environmental regulations and laws
- Developing management processes and operational practices to prevent pollution
- Continually improving levels of environmental protection, while reducing waste throughout the organisation
- Giving employees and other bodies access to environmental performance information
- Increasing knowledge and consciousness about environmental issues among our employees
- Working with suppliers and customers to develop a similarly concerned approach to the protection of the environment
- Implementing an integrated approach to environmental and quality issues
- Providing appropriate resources to meet these commitments
