CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a family run company, our ethics and the impact we have on the environment around us are extremely important to us. We believe in using materials from sustainable sources, we use local printers to our customers to minimise our impact on the environment and we provide active support for our chosen charities. Here’s a quick overview of what we’re doing to ensure we are always a socially responsible company.

OUR BRAND VALUES

As a family business, we are driven by a strong set of values that are encapsulated in our logo. Inspired by an old-fashioned wax seal, it represents the figurative stamp of approval that we put on every piece of work before it leaves us.

HIGH QUALITY

We live by an absolute commitment to delivering the highest quality at all times. This includes sourcing the best products and prices, supplying award-winning service, supporting our staff and always making sure we take customers to a better place.

Sustainability

The impact we have on the environment is important to us and we undertake many measures to ensure we support sustainability in our day-to-day business. We strive to make all aspects of our processes more sustainable, including using FSC certified suppliers, sustainably sourced paper and vegetable oil-based inks. We are also part of sustainable initiatives, helping make print more recyclable and renewable.

INNOVATION

The print industry is constantly evolving and we make sure we are always on the cusp of every new innovation. It means we can push the boundaries of what’s possible and deliver the highest standards of creativity and quality for our customers, be that in new technology, creative print finishes, innovative product ideas and more.

[accordion-item title=”CHARITY”]As a family business we’re very keen to support the community around us and so we are active supporters of our chosen charities. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is cause close to our hearts with Print Strategy Director, Paul Newton, having received the devastating news that his daughter had been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

We are also proud supporters of Cancer Research this year, with a number of fundraising activities planned, from social events to sporting endeavours.

APPRENTICESHIPS
We are strong believers in apprenticeships as a way of recruiting new members of our company, whilst having the maximum positive social impact. We are incredibly proud that our apprentice scheme has been so successful for us over the years and it is something we will continue to support and invest in.

GRADUATES
We are also strong supporters of university graduates and offer a nurturing atmosphere in which they can kick-start their career. Our friendly working environment and strong values are ideal foundations on which graduates can build their careers.

[accordion-item title=”ACTING RESPONSIBLY”]

There are many measures we take to ensure we support and promote sustainability in our day-to-day business:

  • We ensure that our suppliers are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified wherever possible
  • We use sustainable harvested paper
  • Most of our paper is sourced from our near neighbours in Scandinavia and Europe
  • Most of the ink we use is based on vegetable oil and can be recycled
  • Using environmentally friendly print can get you a discount on postage – please contact the team to see if your project is eligible.

Two Sides
We are also members of the Two Sides initiative, an industry body established to promote the use of sustainable and responsible forestry, paper production and printing. Our aim is to ensure that print and paper’s recyclable and renewable qualities can be enjoyed for generations to come. See www.twosides.info for more information.

Suppliers
We hold strong company values when it comes to corporate social responsibility and it has always been vital that our suppliers also share these values – to minimise impact on the environment and to use materials from sustainable sources whenever possible.
