Sustainability

Our actions for a better, sustainable future

What sustainability and caring for our environment means to us.

We have been advocates and purveyors of designing for print for over 25 years, looking after our planet and championing good causes. Our commitment extends to everything we do, from the materials we use to the partners we work with. For us, sustainability isn't just about lofty goals; it's about finding practical solutions that we can integrate seamlessly into our everyday operations and encourage others to do the same.

Our commitment to sustainability in action

Materials and print

  • We predominantly work with and produce paper products, and paper is one of the few truly sustainable materials available to the world. (Between 2005 and 2020, European forests grew by 58,000km², an area bigger than the size of Switzerland, and these planted forests continue to achieve much, including initiatives helping to maintain ecosystems and biodiversity as well as providing sources of renewable energy.)
  • Our paper print partner is CarbonNeutral® and FSC certified, a member of Sedex and is ISO14001 certified (environmental management systems), recycling over 99% of all dry waste.
  • We do not laminate our stationery products. Instead we pursue alternative solutions and source paper stock that carries greater resilience.
  • We do not use glitter, foil, metallic/fluorescent ink or any extra finishes to our printed paper products, e.g. embossing, debossing, duplexing.
  • Where possible, we avoid using plastics for our products, and do not use single-use or non-recyclable plastics for our business operations.

How we make

  • We are an independent business that puts principles before profit.
  • All the products we produce ourselves are designed exclusively by us and manufactured in the UK.
  • We avoid overproduction by choosing to manufacture in small batches, ensuring each piece receives the care it deserves while reducing waste and supporting our local economy.
  • We have reduced environmental production impact by removing the need for extra raw materials as well as reducing waste, materials, emissions plus energy. Read further here.
  • We prioritise 'support small', working primarily with local and independent businesses for manufacturing, supporting our economy, and communities.

Climate and energy

  • For every order made, we will contribute a portion of the sale to planting a young native tree in either Madagascar, Mozambique or Nicaragua. The planting project also helps to support communities and reduce poverty by employing local workers. Learn more here.
  • We contribute to carbon avoidance projects through our partnership with Ecologi.
  • We use renewable energy at work and home.
  • We aim to use energy-efficient transportation for all our business travel (our first fully electric car is a go) including cycling as our first choice for all local journeys.

People and causes

  • We champion progress and encourage good deeds, so with every product sold 5% of sale profits is donated to a wonderful charity (our chosen charity, Crisis, supports people across England, Scotland and Wales directly out of homelessness, and campaigns for the local and national changes needed to resolve it for good).
  • We promote ethical, charitable and humanitarian practices.
  • We stand for diversity, equity and inclusivity, all human and animal rights, and advocate kindness, most of all.

Our sustainable practice and commitment continues, it is especially amplified as we venture into using new materials for our own products. We believe in a bright future for the world, and that if we all work together we can make planet-saving goals a reality. There’s never been a more important time to make a change.

Print and paper myths

The European paper industry is a world leader when it comes to sustainably sourced raw materials, renewable energy and recycling rates. Yet the myths around paper are still prevalent amongst consumers. Two Sides, a not-for-profit, global initiative organisation, has busted nine popular myths about print and paper from 'European forests are shrinking' to 'only recycled paper should be used'. Discover the facts here.

We're proud to partner with Ecologi.

We support responsible reforestation, ecosystem restoration, and carbon removal projects worldwide. Every project is rigorously vetted by Ecologi to ensure the right trees are planted in the right places, with local communities, and that carbon removal meets strict quality criteria.
