Calculation of CO₂ footprint

Becoming more sustainable means taking active action to achieve more sustainable production and reductions in CO₂ emissions. We are pleased to inform you that we have taken another step towards a greener future. The newest part of our Sustainability & CO₂ reduction plan is the option to calculate the CO₂ emissions per produced label or packaging. In addition, we offer the option to entirely compensate for this. For this purpose, we work with ClimateCalc’s certified system. This is a European system, specifically developed for the graphic design sector and the software to calculate the CO₂ emissions of both our graphics design company and of an individual printing order.

Calculating the CO₂ emissions of a specific product is simple and offers a differentiating factor to our customers that they can use to clearly communicate demonstrably more sustainable choices. We increasingly see that large market players also request a calculation of CO₂ emissions for botanical products in their entirety. Clarity on both CO₂ emissions and packaging or labelling is an essential aspect of such communications.

In achieving and guaranteeing our sustainability goals, the CO₂ certificate (ISO 14064/65 standard) represents a great supplement to the ISO environmental certificate (ISO 14001) previously awarded to us. We believe in a green future that we can and must achieve, together.
