Sustainability in Print Production
Sustainability in Print Production | The Course
When the big sustainability topics of the day are carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and overuse of plastic, how can your production team respond? What questions should you be asking of your printer and supply chain? What impacts do materials commonly used in the publishing industry have?
Imago Group’s Sustainability in Print Production training course has been designed to answer those questions, to help you develop and deliver sustainability goals and collect the information your business, customers & stakeholders need. We will look at key sustainability goals that respond to these factors, and where production teams can have a positive impact. We will look at designing a sustainability programme, measuring and managing carbon footprints, and writing sustainability statements.
