The paper and printing sector is one of the lowest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases. In 2016, it accounted for less than 1% of all EU greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is important when we are thinking about printing that we think about sustainability as much as possible.
And this includes our Foundations Magazine. CGT is taking significant strides towards sustainability by embracing environmentally friendly practices and responsible sourcing and production methods. We use FSC certified paper sourced from well-managed forests and ISO 14001 accredited printers.
ISO 14001 standard is relevant to all types and sizes of organisations – including private, non-profit and governmental. It requires them to assess environmental issues relevant to their operations, such as waste management, resource use and efficiency.
A notable recent initiative involves our printing partners, who have recently installed solar panels on their factory roof. This move towards self-produced solar energy marks a substantial leap in reducing carbon footprint. Furthermore, we are now printing the magazine on recycled paper, mirroring the quality while enhancing sustainability.
For those of you who receive Foundations through the post – we hope it has arrived! If you don’t, you can read it online or sign up here to receive a printed copy.
