SUSTAINABILITY
Certification numbers: FSC: TT-COC-002824 PEFC: BMT-PEFC-0682
According to global management and consulting firm Kearney, 78% of consumers consider the environmental impact of their purchases at least occasionally so it’s now more important than ever for businesses to go green. We’ve compiled some sustainable business practices you can implement for those looking to minimise their impact on the planet.
Go paperless: Many businesses have already taken steps to reduce their paper usage and have stopped printing out documents or using notepads - this is made easier by technology as documents can be stored and shared on computers rather than as hard copies. Make a start by ordering Larson-Juhl products online. Our website allows you to see all of your orders in one place - not only does this save paper, but it also makes it easier for you to find the documents in the future! If you aren’t ready to go digital, try printing double-sided to reduce paper usage, and use scrap paper for making notes.
Use eco-friendly products: Take a look at your suppliers and ensure that you are sourcing materials from companies that prioritise sustainability, either by offering a range of sustainable products or using plastic-free packaging where possible. Over the last decade, Larson-Juhl UK has been working with our forestry supply chain and manufacturers to ensure that our commitment to the environment is traceable and authentic. We also offer the largest range of FSC and PEFC mouldings in the industry and continue to focus on expanding our offering, as well as taking steps to improve our sustainability in other areas of our business.
Recycling One of the easiest ways to ensure that your business is more environmentally friendly is to start recycling. Most areas allow you to recycle the usual paper, cardboard, metal and plastic, but did you know that you can also recycle printer and toner cartridges? Set up recycling bins around your workshop to make the process as easy as possible.
