Carbon Neutrality
Our printing partner theprintspace is the UK’s first fine art and photographic printing service that is 100% end-to-end carbon neutral.
What is meant by carbon neutral printing?
Theprintspace are end-to-end carbon neutral. This means where possible, energy usage is minimised and suppliers of renewable energy are used. Where unavoidable, carbon emissions are offset.
1. Minimising carbon emissions
The first step to achieve carbon neutrality was reducing our emissions. We have done this by using green couriers such as DHL GoGreen and Green Courier where available, only using renewable energy suppliers including Ecotricity and Stadtwerke Düsseldorf and electric bikes for transport. We have print facilities globally, this means we can reduce air travel when shipping your orders.
2. Calculating unavoidable emissions
Once we have reduced our emissions as much as possible we are audited by carbonfootprint.com to calculate our carbon impact. This report includes our performance, a breakdown of our footprint and further recommendations to minimise our footprint. We make this report publicly available.
3. Carbon emission offsetting
We then offset our carbon emissions via The Gold Standard, and help fund projects for a safer climate and more sustainable world.
