We participate in the chain of custody for responsible forest management, offering FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified products.
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an international non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1993 to promote responsible and economically viable management of the world’s forests. By choosing FSC® certified paper, you help protect forests from irresponsible destruction and support their regeneration.
The FSC® certified paper you use:
- Is produced from certified raw materials in certified production facilities.
- Is supplied through partners participating in the chain of custody for responsible forest management.
Sustainable Business Practices
A Green Approach
Our practices comply with applicable legislation and the international standards under which we operate, including ISO 14001:2015.
Paper Recycling
All paper and cardboard waste generated at every stage of production is collected and separated. It is then sent to a specialist recycling partner to ensure that the recycling process is carried out effectively.
Responsible Management of Solid and Chemical Waste
Waste generated during production, including photographic processing and printing, is collected and stored in designated areas and underground watertight tanks. Certified partners collect, separate and manage it in an environmentally responsible way.
Ink containers and other consumables used in production are also collected and delivered to a specialist, certified recycling company.
Energy Saving
We have installed photovoltaic systems to generate energy at our facilities, helping us save energy and further reduce our environmental footprint.
Safe Work Environment
Health and Safety procedures in our workplace
In our facilities we follow specific procedures and protocols for the use of the mechanical, electrical and firefighting equipment as well as, policies and processes for the safety and health of our people and their personal protective equipment (PPE).
We regularly carry out noise measurements to maintain low noise levels both inside and around the production plant, and measurements to ensure the protection of our people against the risks arising from exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Socially sustainable practices
Adhering to the principles of sustainable development and responsible business practices, we use the EcoVadis methodology to ensure the employment of sustainable practices and processes throughout our supply chain. This methodology uses 21 criteria, grouped into four themes: Environment, Labor Practices and Human Rights, Good Business Practices and Sustainable Procurement. These four pillars express our commitment to business ethics and sustainability.
