Supporting the wider environment

Beacon Press has always sought to play as wide a role as possible in the protection of the environment beyond its own domestic and commercial area of operations.

In many cases, the company is prepared to invest time, money and enthusiasm in actively supporting and sponsoring external initiatives as part of its wider programme of corporate responsibility. In this way we can play our part on both the local and global environmental stages.

Community

We have developed a biodiversity policy to enhance the wildlife potential of our factory grounds which are managed in order to preserve and protect
biodiversity on the site.

Speakers are provided to present our experience to local and national business organisations.

Our ‘Box it, don’t Bin it’ campaign - a free CD recycling scheme for our customers and local businesses - has redirected unwanted CDs away from landfill sites and into recycling plants.

Leadership

We continue to support the work of many specialist organisations campaigning on behalf of the environment, including Forum for the Future, WWF FTN Group and Business in the Community.

We promote ourselves as a source of information for our customers about the production of sustainable printing, hosting technical seminars at our premises.

We also seek to involve those not directly concerned with printing. For example, politicians, local authorities, environmental organisations and the media are all seen as stakeholders (and potential participants) with whom we want to share our experience and from whom we welcome response.
