The company has successfully measured and offset its entire 2019 greenhouse gas emissions and implemented reduction strategies for the future
We are so excited to announce that PufferPrint has successfully achieved Climate Neutral Certified status by measuring its 2019 greenhouse gas emissions footprint, purchasing carbon credits to offset that footprint, and implementing plans to reduce emissions this year and beyond. Taking these direct actions against climate change qualifies PufferPrint to display the Climate Neutral Certified label in its branding and marketing for the next year before re-certifying.
“PufferPrint is committed to being a company that shows love for our customers and for the planet on which we do business. Book printing is an industry that is ready to embrace a lower environmental impact and we are proud to be an industry leader by showing the way. Every order that a customer makes with PufferPrint is calculated into our annual inventory and will be offset at the end of that year, so when you print books with PufferPrint, you can be assured that the production and shipping of your order are Certified Climate Neutral.” -Jeremy Epstein, Director of Print at PufferPrint
We are now following a set of standards for buying verified carbon credits to offset our entire footprint. Carbon credits involve direct investment into reducing and capturing carbon dioxide, and support a range of projects such as forest conservation, renewable energy, and transportation.
All Climate Neutral Certified companies also commit to a reduction action plan to cut future emissions. Our HQ already has solar panels on the roof, powering 60% of our electricity consumption. We are working with our suppliers and print team to also reduce their own footprints, and making the offering of sea-shipping, which has a greatly reduced footprint (and cost) over air-shipping for book deliveries, a featured part of our process.
