SUSTAINABILITY WINNER
Lithocraft Ball & Doggett were proud to award Lithocraft, a leading print company which was first founded in the 1960s, with the inaugural 2022 ProPrint Awards Sustainability Prize. Lithocraft’s long-term commitment to sustainability was recognised at the ProPrint Awards with Ball & Doggett’s national marketing manager, Tony Bertrand, presenting a miniature cardboard table tennis trophy as the prize. A life size version of the table tennis table, which was also on show at PacPrint this year, will be installed at Lithocraft’s factory in Melbourne providing hours of fun for the company’s staff and clients. Lithocraft is guided by the principles of putting people first, fostering a culture of innovation, sustainability, ethical sourcing, measuring as well as improving and education. These principles are at the core of what is Lithocraft, however, they are not just words on a website but are practiced and refined every day. In Lithocraft’s view it is the one per cent changes that make this leading print organisation one to aspire to in the future. Lithocraft’s ethical sourcing policy ensures sustainable outcomes for customers. The company uses vegetable based inks, recyclable aqueous coatings, harvests rainwater, solar energy and has a stringent wastepaper recycling program. Lithocraft also promotes and purchases many products as carbon neutral and they are FSC Chain of Custody certified. Lithocraft is the smarter marketing communications company. Nick O’Sullivan, Lithocraft’s managing director, was unable to attend the awards and the award was instead accepted by Lithocraft NSW general manager Matt Wickham.
