Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), a non-profit organization providing sustainability certification in the printing industry, today announces the launch of its three-part webinar series designed to help companies develop effective strategies for embracing sustainability in print.

“Sustainability impacts all parties involved within the print industry, from the supplier who creates the board to the print buyer who solicits a printer’s services,” states Paul Lilienthal, Chair, SGP Board of Directors. “These informational webinars will help the supply chain to understand sustainability within specific contexts and devise the best means for integrating sustainability into company operations.”
“Sustainable Print and the Supplier”, the first webinar of the series, will examine suppliers’ contribution to sustainability in the printing industry. The webinar will explore how SGP creates opportunities for suppliers to deepen their understanding of sustainable print and how suppliers can leverage a relationship with SGP into increased engagement with print customers.
The second webinar, “How Sustainable is Your Supply Chain?” will address how sustainability-minded print buyers can verify the sustainability credentials of their print supply chain. The webinar will highlight how SGP’s Certification offers a uniquely holistic approach for the implementation of sustainable best practices at print facilities and provides credibility to the sustainability of the print supply chain.
“Sustainable Print – Why Your Customer Wants It and What YOU Can Do”, the final webinar, will discuss the growing interest in sustainable products within the print market space and the options available to the print industry to meet this demand. The webinar will illustrate SGP’s ability to thoroughly validate the sustainability of print facilities’ efforts as well as the value of Certification in a changing print landscape.
