Our Sustainability Commitment

The vast majority of the paper we use is now sourced from sustainable (and farmed) forestry, and is either certified under FSC, PEFC, EMAS, or PAS2020. We also can utilise recycled paper if a client requests us to do so for their campaign.

Almost all of our printing processes now only use vegetable (or soy) based inks, which are produced from farmed stocks and have a positive carbon impact. Historically, inks were often petroleum based, however a combination of the Clean Air Act (which regulates volatile organic content (VOC) emissions) and market forces have all but eliminated petroleum-based inks.

We make every effort to minimise our footprint arising from transport and delivery. For example, we’ll take a major consideration in selecting a production facility that is in close proximity to the delivery point and we’ll aim to plan our deliveries as an element of a composite load. We’ll also use electric vehicles for our deliveries, especially for smaller loads. In terms of packaging, we’ll advise our clients on the most environmentally sustainable packaging solution for their campaign.

Unless specifically required, we’ll always proof campaigns electronically via PDF documents, online soft proofing, and hi-resolution ICS proofing. This eliminates the need for paper, production, and transport which has been historically involved in the proofing process.

We regularly run print and direct marketing workshops for our clients, where we discuss best practice in relation to production to help minimise environmental impact. These workshops have proven extremely effective and have helped numerous clients to refine and evolve their marketing and fundraising collateral and uplift their ROI.

These are just some of the many ways we’re practising sustainability here at Intygra. If you’d like to learn more about our sustainability processes and what else we’re doing to reduce our environmental impact, be sure to contact us today.
