Environmental Policy

Throughout the production process, we actively work to minimise our impact on the environment whilst continuing to reduce our carbon footprint. By working closely with all our suppliers, we maintain our policy of purchasing FSC & PEFC certified papers along with those containing a recycled content. Increasingly the paper we use can be carbon-balanced via World Land Trust.

Our major plan to become more environmentally efficient after moving to the new site began in May 2018 and we have committed to continually monitor and improve all areas of the business. To date we have achieved the following:

  • All lighting both interior and exterior has been replaced with energy efficient LED
  • Motion sensors installed in less-common areas
  • Insulated barriers across roller doors to create a double-insulated void.
  • Three new internal workspaces created with drop ceilings to reduce the volume of heating
  • All air-conditioning replaced with energy efficient units
  • Double glazing installed to front office areas
  • New energy efficient boiler installed
  • Replacement of old plate-making equipment with new waterless system
  • Washroom taps replaced with low-flow auto stop units
  • Toilets replaced with low-volume flush cisterns
  • Reduced waste going to landfill by 82%
  • Improved working relationship with recycling companies
  • Upgrade of central air compressor system to reduce air leaks
  • Active Environmental Monitoring Systems to ensure temperatures are set and monitored at a level determined by the Directors.
