Brothersbox Environmental Policy & Goals
We have complete certifications to ensure that our production and employees meet international standards.
Our indirect carbon footprint includes the energy used by the printers, paper mills and other producers in our supply chain. It also includes the energy used to transport the goods we produce and any business travel carried out by our employees.
We are currently embarking on a project with our core suppliers to assess their environmental performance. This project will look at the energy they use, their recycling of waste and the purchasing of materials. Our aim is to increase awareness and drive change to ensure prompt actions are taken to reduce our industry's contribution to the climate crisis.
Scope 1 & 2
Our direct carbon footprint includes the energy we use and purchase to power our offices. We have already taken significant steps to reduce our emissions by using renewable energy in our US and UK offices.
Scope 3
Our indirect carbon footprint includes the energy used by the printers, paper mills and other producers in our supply chain. It also includes the energy used to transport the goods we produce and any business travel carried out by our employees.
We are currently embarking on a project with our core suppliers to assess their environmental performance. This project will look at the energy they use, their recycling of waste and the purchasing of materials. Our aim is to increase awareness and drive change to ensure prompt actions are taken to reduce our industry's contribution to the climate crisis.
Our environmental policy actions include:
- Send out an in-depth carbon and environment questionnaire to printers
- Create a business and supply chain carbon footprint baseline, for measuring future progress against
- Create an ongoing discussion with suppliers to urge them to take necessary steps to lower their environmental impact and to improve their readiness by becoming/maintaining FSC® accreditation and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management
- To research and encourage our suppliers to invest in cleaner technology such as thermal plate setting and HUV printing technology
- Create a briefing document for customers to encourage uptake of carbon neutral printing (offsetting) by demonstrating how this can fit into their larger program of carbon reduction
- To develop a pathway/product carbon profile for clients who want to reduce their carbon footprint and adopt greener production processes
