ENVIRONMENT
Sustainability
We have a responsibility. To the environment, to society and to the planet.
We want to be sustainable. We feel a responsibility towards the use of natural resources, but also towards our employees, our customers and society as a whole. Our efforts are accompanied by a number of certifications that showcase how we work, innovate and invest. We do not forget about leisure and relaxation time, which are important for the personal development of our employees.

ESG
The future is important to us. We want to print for you, and we want to pass on to the next generation an environment in which it will be possible to live with the feeling that it is meaningful to do and create something.
Under the acronym E (nvironment) S (ocial) G (overnance) we see opportunities, risks and possibilities for development. We set a strategy to reduce the impact of our production on the environment and our planet. We choose suppliers with the same mindset.
We meet the requirements imposed by legislation on modern companies through certifications.
Carbon footprint
We are monitoring our carbon footprint, which we declare through a certificate.
Neutral Printing.
Our main target for future achieves carbon neutrality. We are currently working on strategy, how to be neutral. We are continually improving ourselves; inventing energy saving solution, looking for protentional in our supply chain. We can facilitate offset projects for climate neutral printing for our customers through our partner Preferred by Nature. Each project is unique and certified.
Today, recycled paper is almost as white as virgin fibre paper and is suitable for almost every application. This protects our forests because no trees have to be felled. In terms of life cycle analysis, the benefits of recycled paper are partly debatable. It is also more expensive than virgin fibre paper. We offer both alternatives to our customers and are happy to explain everything and find the ideal solution. The final decision is then up to the customer.
There are already eco-friendly inks for heatset printing on the market that contain minimal mineral oils and no aromatics. These paints are a bit more expensive to work with. We also offer this alternative to our customers so that they can make a decision with an awareness of the context.
we work with DHL on international transport and through GoGreen project we are reducing our emissions from this segment.
