At Promote You, we care about the planet. We believe every business can take steps to protect it. That is why we focus on sustainability in our work every day.
In 2020, we took time to look closely at our business. During the Covid-19 lockdown, we finally had space to make changes we had been planning for years. First, we reviewed how our work affected the environment. Then, we found ways to reduce our impact.
What We Found
Surprisingly, our biggest carbon footprint did not come from electricity. Instead, our company vehicles created the largest impact. Because of this, we began looking for ways to cut down on vehicle emissions.
What We Do Now
First, we measure our carbon footprint each year.
Next, we look for new ways to lower it.
Finally, we make changes that last.
We also choose suppliers that share our values. For example, our Fuji Xerox printers give us great print quality and a strong recycling program. Old or broken printers are taken apart and recycled, which keeps waste out of landfill.
Why This Matters
By working with Promote You, you are choosing a partner who cares about both quality and the environment. You still get great printing, but you also help reduce waste and emissions.
Our Promise
We know every step counts. That’s why we will keep looking for better ways to work and better partners to work with. Sustainability is not just a project for us—it is part of who we are.
Contact Promote You today and let’s create something great for your brand and better for the planet.
What does this mean for you?
Put simply, it means we’ve thought about our energy use and our impact on the environment. This means you can use our services confident in the knowledge that we are doing our bit! Not many businesses put sustainability at the forefront of their decision making. We have, because it’s important to us.
How did we achieve this?
The first step was to measure our Carbon footprint. We are a printing business, and our assumption was that the majority of our carbon footprint would be from electricity use. We were wrong – it turns our the biggest impact we have is through our company vehicles. For the first time we had a clear picture of this.
Recycling Old Products
Have you ever wondered what happens to materials at the end of their lives? Many large corporations, including Fufi Xerox are finding innovative ways to sustainably recycle their old products.
Fuji Xerox Printer Recycling
We use Fuji Xerox printers for their exceptional quality, but also because they maintain a responsible sustainability programme that is in line with our ethos when it comes to the environment.
Deconstructing a Printer
The deconstruction process of old commercial printers is intricate. This video shows how the various components are broken down, and then recycled.
