Environmental Policy

Our business print service is very efficient with little waste, for example we offer smaller quantities of business cards than other printers, as we realise sometimes you only need a few. Most of our printing is digital rather than traditional litho printing. This creates much less waste and does not create any industrial waste or harmful chemicals. With our ‘can do’ approach at CardsMadeEasy, we make sure that we take our environmental concerns seriously. We have therefore developed this environmental policy to give our clients the confidence that they are dealing with a supplier that cares.

We have made sure that we comply with all the relevant environmental legislation. Because we change and the legislation changes, we carry out regular reviews to make sure that we remain in tune with current issues. In addition, we also take our client’s and any other specific environmental requirements seriously so that you can trust us to use the materials and processes that you demand to fit in with your own environmental objectives.

We strongly believe that we have a duty of care which goes beyond our legal responsibilities to take whatever actions we can to produce and distribute printing in the most environmentally responsible way and to prevent pollution. We believe that good environmental management is about making steady incremental steps.

Therefore we will, wherever possible, set measurable targets to reduce ours and our client’s impact in three areas of our business:

• Reducing our carbon footprint by a minimum of 3% from Oct 2011 to Oct 2012.
• Increasing our FSC paper usage to 100% of paper purchased.
• The resources that we use in production.
• The reduction of unnecessary waste.

• Is known by everyone who works for us.
• Will be available to our clients and anyone else who is interested.
• Will be checked annually.
