This month, we’re celebrating one year since we joined the Design Declares movement to tackle climate change!
Launched in September 2022, we joined Design Declares last November as part of our commitment to measure our carbon footprint and engage with our customers to discuss climate change.
Design Declares was launched to encourage graphic designers to declare a climate emergency and commit to harnessing the tools of our industry to reimagine, rebuild and heal our world.
The campaign was launched to help UK designers across the fields of digital, industrial, communication and service tackle their environmental footprint.

Thanks to being part of the Carbon Capture Programme, we offset a whopping 4.58 tonnes of CO2 each year and help to plant native woodland in the UK.
So, when you place an order with us you can rest assured that we are committed to helping you reduce your carbon footprint as well as our own.
We invite others within our industry to join us in declaring an emergency and start to take urgent action by signing up to the Design Declares movement.
We'd love to help you with your next print or design project.
