In all our work we hope to create something that will be a catalyst for positive change.

From the start of a 'design for print' project, we consider the following criteria in order to promote environmental and social responsibility:
 

• Format
  Size matters. By reducing the physical size of a piece of print - from A4 to B5, for example - we can cut both the financial and the environmental costs of paper and print. Likewise with imposition - the way we plan pages on a larger printed sheet - which we can use creatively to maximise the overall printed space on a press sheet.
   
• Materials
  When designing for print we are committed to using recycled or certifiably sustainably sourced paper. We are FSC certified and ISO 14001 registered.
   
• Production
  We will use renewable energy, specify vegetable oil based inks for (litho) printing and choose processes and materials which minimise the emission of carbon and volatile organic compounds.
  
  
• Disposal
  We are committed to improving resource efficiency and consider the life cycle of a printed piece to be an important part of the design brief. Our aim is to produce print materials which can be reused or recycled easily.
