Sustainability is important to us. We are proud to be a Carbon Positive business – meaning we offset 20% more carbon than we produce.
In 2020 we decided to take a look at our business with a view to sustainability. It was a bit of journey, and meant taking an honest look at our business activities to see what environmental impact we were having, and then what we could do about it.
One advantage of the Covid-19 lockdown for us was a bit of extra time, and we used the time to do something we’ve been thinking about for a long time – doing our bit for sustainability.
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.
