SG World: Driving a Sustainable Future for Print

At SG World, based in Crewe, our commitment to the environment is a continuous journey, woven into the fabric of our operations. We firmly believe that providing high-quality digital and printed marketing solutions goes hand-in-hand with responsible environmental practices. Our ongoing focus is on minimising our impact and contributing to a more sustainable future for the print industry

This dedication manifests in numerous ways, from the materials we source to the processes we employ. We are constantly evaluating and implementing strategies that promote environmental stewardship across our business.

A key element of this commitment is our continued engagement with organisations like Two Sides. As a member of this global initiative, which champions the sustainability of print, paper, and paper packaging, we gain access to the latest research and best practices in the industry. This partnership helps us to ensure that our understanding of the environmental landscape is robust and that we are making informed decisions about our materials and processes.

Our broader sustainability efforts include:

• Sustainable Sourcing: We prioritise working with suppliers who adhere to stringent environmental standards, ensuring that the paper and other materials we use come from responsibly managed sources.
• Waste Reduction: Minimising waste at every stage of our production process is a critical focus. We are continually looking for innovative ways to reduce our environmental footprint.
• Energy Efficiency: We are committed to optimising our energy consumption and exploring opportunities for greater efficiency within our facilities.
• Promoting Recyclability: We design our products with recyclability in mind and provide information to our customers on how to properly dispose of and recycle them.

Doug Kinsman, Production Director at SG World, emphasises: "Sustainability is not a static goal for SG World; it's an ongoing commitment that drives our innovation and decision-making. Our continued involvement with groups like Two Sides is valuable in keeping us informed and aligned with industry best practices. However, our focus extends beyond any single membership. We are dedicated to embedding sustainable principles throughout our entire value chain and continually seeking ways to improve our environmental performance."

Our dedication to sustainability is a testament to our responsibility towards our customers, our community here in Crewe, and the wider planet. We believe that by integrating environmentally sound practices into our business, we can contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future for the print and packaging sector.
