service to its customers whilst reducing costs and contributing to environmental sustainability.
“The program has helped us and our employees identify the impact of our operation on the environment allowing us to make changes throughout the workplace that have significantly decreased our environmental footprint and operating costs.” She said.
“Owing to the success that we have seen with SGP Level 2 we are keen to start work on gaining Level 3 accreditation.
“This will provide a much more in depth look at the cause and effect of our waste production, which we believe is essential in reducing unnecessary environmental waste and costs.”
Ms Simpson said the reduction in waste would add value to the products produced and ultimately improve our operating environment.
SGP is available to printing companies across Australia and provides a multi-level system via four linked achievement levels including ISO 14001 which is achievable at Level 3 SGP.
