Our environmental objectives
Our contribution to these SDGs is directly related to our own environmental objectives, which are designed for practical implementation:
Efficiency
We work to optimize the consumption of paper, water, energy and chemicals, as well as the effective recycling of the waste generated.
Input
We design omnichannel communication services and processes for our clients, always taking into account the rational use of the resources used (inputs), the recyclability of the final product and its contribution to the circular economy.
Chain of custody
We recommend the use of certified paper (FSC® or PEFC) to promote the creation of sustainable forests.
Climate change
We work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and calculate our carbon footprint.
We prioritize the purchase of energy from renewable sources.
Minimization of packaging
Our Packaging Plan includes measures to reduce the weight of packaging placed on the market, as well as the use of recyclable materials whenever possible.
As product producers, we are part of the network for the collection and recycling of packaging waste.
Auxiliary materials
We work in the search and substitution of materials for others less harmful to the environment (plasticizers, inks, chemical products, solvents,…).
Thanks to our sustainability strategy, your company will benefit from:
- An important contribution to its sustainability objectives from outsourced projects.
- Cost savings (energy and use of materials).
- Compliance with the different environmental regulations.
- Differential value for clients and administrations that value environmental concepts when assigning projects.
- Agility: we quickly adapt to corporate sustainability standards for project development.
