Second QLD printer steps ahead with SGP certification

Brisbane-based Screen Offset Printing is the second Queensland company to successfully undergo independent audit to gain certification at Sustainable Green Print Level 2.

According to director, Gerard Davis, the company wanted to continue its environmental journey and is now working on achieving SGP Level 3 early in 2011.
 
He said SGP, the industry-specific environmental management system for the printing industry, allowed Screen Offset Printing to identify, document and measure its environmental management impacts and objectives while ensuring alignment with many of the requirements of ISO14001.

 “While we have been doing most of the important things to meet our environmental obligations for some time SGP has allowed us to formally document our activities and be recognised for doing so. In addition it gives us a system that our staff, our suppliers and customers can be part of,” he said.
 
Screen Offset Printing has set early 2011 as the target for achieving accreditation at SGP Level 3 and alignment with ISO14001.
