Sustainability Goals

Our Footprint

We aim to reduce our impact on the planet, care for the environment and improve our sustainability. We view this as good business practice.

As part of our sustainable publishing model, we commit to:

  • using papers that are natural, renewable, recyclable and made from wood grown in sustainable forests, where logging and manufacturing processes are expected to conform to the environmental regulations of the country of origin
  • preferencing post-consumer, recycled fibre
  • working with our suppliers to increase the availability of commercially viable and attractive papers that maximise post-consumer recycled content
  • wherever practical, printing in Australia

And we choose environmentally conscious partners:

  • OPUS, our printing partner, continually evaluate their processes and practices. A copy of their Environmental Policy can be read here 
  • ADS, our distribution centre, is committed to as much of their packaging as possible being made from recycled, recyclable or biodegradable materials
