The Environment

At Snap Printing, we have a responsibility to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment. The nature of the printing industry makes this a challenge – but one we believe we can rise to.

Snap Printing Environmental Statement

Our environmental statement governs how we run our operations.

’The Snap Printing Group actively promotes the concept of intelligent sustainability decisions and is aware of its corporate and social responsibilities to the environment in regard to corporate activities, franchising, franchisees, staff, suppliers, customers and community stakeholders.

’We recognize that a comprehensive solution to print industry sustainability begins with print buyers, but does not end with Snap Printing as a supplier of print and printing related products and services to the market place. It extends to our suppliers of equipment and raw materials, their suppliers and to the post consumer disposal of any publication, product or service.

’The Snap Printing Group consciously seeks to influence the ‘Life Cycle’ of the products and services provided and to reduce the impact of its business activities on the environment by undertaking, through best endeavours, the following activities

• Continuing education of our customers by providing environmental advice on product and raw material selection
• Continuing environmental education of personnel in the Snap Printing group through the Snap Academy as a Registered Training Organisation
• Continually re investing in new technology and seeking to purchase technology that exceeds any existing manufacturing and environmental emission criteria
• Working and partnering with suppliers of raw materials who actively participate in accredited environmental programs, for example: EMAS, Sustainable Forest and Chain of Custody in the supply of paper
• Recycling programs with accredited suppliers for paper, inks and chemicals, toner cartridges and digital equipment parts reducing land fill requirements
• The adoption of a Measure, Learn and Lead practice for the Snap Printing group by Snap Franchising Ltd management, i.e.
• Measure the impact
• Learn a better method
• Lead adoption of new practice

‘Environmental sustainability is a significant issue for the printing industry and the Snap Printing Group is committed to the long term environmental sustainability of its business activities.’
