Formara & the Environment

 

In 2002 Formara achieved the ISO14001 Environmental Accreditation. In 2006 Formara’s commitment to protecting our environment was further enhanced by our certification to the Forest Stewardship Council.

More recently Formara has been recognised by their peers in the industry as an environmentally conscious company. In November 2007 the BAPC awarded Formara Environmental Print Business of the Year.

Now in 2008 Formara are delighted to announce that we have been awarded CarbonZero status. We offset our carbon emissions by working with co2balance.com to invest in a project to replace keorsene lamps in Africa - Solar Lanterns in East Africa.

We believe it is up to everyone of us to make a difference where we can. We were one of the first companies to achieve ISO14001 and one of the first to gain the FSC certification, both achievements that we are immensely proud of.

We continue to invest in new equipment which further lessens our environmental impact through efficiency gains across the company.

For London our main delivery vehicles are LPG powered, significantly reducing emissions and contributing to a cleaner London.


Proving our commitment to the environment we have substantially increased our use of FSC and recycled papers.
