Sustainability is growing ever more important – in both the public conscious and in our business decisions.
Society demands an added onus on ethics and the environment these days – and rightly so. Our customers expect us to uphold certain values. And those values need to be at the centre of what we do.
So, it’s not just about having a recycling bin. It’s about core decisions that affect the entire business, and that includes print.
In this section we’ll cover how office print solutions can help you reduce your carbon footprint, cut down on waste and show the world you care.
Top Tip: Seek out printers with low TEC (typical energy consumption). It will help to reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on energy costs too.

We’ve discussed how modern-day print solutions automate business-critical decisions, improve productivity and enhance security for your organisation. We haven’t yet gone into detail about how much they can help your carbon footprint.
Multifunctional printers turn tedious tasks and ponderous paper trails into efficient digital processes. Meaning you have less waste paper, while tasks take less energy to complete.
They also incorporate a multitude of energy-saving features, such as quick start-up, sleep mode, human detection sensors (which use temperature to detect when to start up) and smart metering software can collate CO2 data.
Your choice of print partner will have a massive impact on your ability to reduce your carbon footprint.
It’s all down to their approach. Look out for a provider that emphasises reduced running costs, employee engagement campaigns, buyback carbon output schemes and end of life recycling.
Because at the end of the day, it’s all about reducing the cost to both your business and our planet.
