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 kerosene lamps in Africa - Solar Lanterns in East
Africa. See Kenya lamps in Google Earth.
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.
