The Environment

Through the years, we have been a leader in managing our business in a way that impacts the environment in a friendly, positive, and thoughtful manner. Long before others were paying attention to environmental issues, we implemented the following Environmental Vision and Management Policy:

• Most of our paper purchases are from paper companies that harvest trees from decades old tree farms specifically planted, harvested, and replanted to provide an ongoing source of renewable paper pulp.
  
• We use recycled papers whenever possible, and encourage others to do the same.
  
• We use inks and toners that are eco friendly.
  
• We use chemicals and solvents that are almost 100% water soluble, bio-degradable, and recyclable. They are often more expensive, but we consider these products to be a wise investment.
  
• We have implemented programs to reduce our electrical consumption and to minimize the usage of all raw materials.
  
• A very important way that we urge our customers to partner with us in our environment efforts is by using our digital/internet ordering, proofing, and reordering system. Use of our digital ordering system enables all of us to save substantial amounts of gasoline and other raw materials.
  
• If you have suggestions about how we could further our environmental impact, please call us with your ideas.
