Visual Print and Design vows to promote the sustainable story of print by joining Two Sides
We are excited to announce that we are now a commercial member of the Two Sides Campaign as part of our mission to promote the sustainability of print and paper.
Two Sides is a global campaign promoting the unique sustainable and renewable qualities of print and paper. By becoming a member, we are actively demonstrating our commitment to the environment, sustainable procurement and positive action to reduce impacts.
Rachael Hunt, Head of Marketing and Business Development said:
“As we finalise our sustainability plan for 2023 and beyond, it felt right that we became members of Two Sides.
Over the last few years, we’ve been making some major changes at Visual Print and Design. This includes switching the materials we use in-house to sustainable alternatives and joining the Chain of Custody Group Scheme. We have also installed an electric charging station at the Lincoln office and improved the ways we measure our carbon emissions so we can actively offset them.”
We want to dispel common environmental misconceptions about print by providing our customers with verifiable information on why print and paper is an attractive, practical and sustainable communications mediums.
By joining Two Sides, we now have access to a large library of co-branded communications tools, consumer research, industry-leading information and sustainability advice that will allow us to do just that.
