The environment is an issue that isn’t going away – it will only increase in importance. As the world’s major economies move closer to carbon emission reduction agreements, it is obvious that the ultimate move will have to be made by businesses themselves, probably in the form of Government legislation. ecoprint is just one small step in that process.
ecoprint was created by two local companies combining their individual areas of expertise, Bigfish and Home Strategic. We both had strong ‘customer 1st’ cultures and wanted to share our knowledge with our clients, helping them to save money and reduce their impact on the environment.
The basic service of ecoprint is a free full audit of current usage levels across your range of internal and external print requirements and provides you with a direct cost comparison – we would expect this to show significant savings. We then look at ways to turn your print ‘green’ and/or reduce your actual print usage by potentially converting items to online digital versions or shorter run print on demand. The primary benefits of this audit are to save money and improve your company’s environmental credentials.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly important to many organisations. Part of a strong CSR strategy is minimising impact on the environment and ecoprint can be a major part of this aspect of your policy. Then there are the unseen benefits – competitive advantage, pr, marketing, internal culture – all of which can help promote the ethics and credentials of an organisation that is in touch with changing social demands and expectations.
