Our selected trade printers are committed to achieving continuous improvement by minimising our impact on the environment and are committed to the prevention of pollution, we demonstrate environmental improvement through:

– minimisation and energy conservation to reduce our carbon footprint.
– Developing productive relationships with suppliers, contractors and other interested parties.
In addition to using certified materials, where possible we use solely vegetable-based inks and water-based adhesives which are non-hazardous and therefore kinder to the environment.
As a side effect of our production processes, our trade printers do produce quantities of hazardous waste. To ensure their waste is correctly disposed of they use certified waste carriers for its collection. Where possible their waste is treated and recycled, anything that cannot be recycled is disposed of by the certified waste carriers used.
The Company uses paper, plastics and cardboard for packaging products, any wastage of these materials is segregated into designated bins and recycled.
Our commitment to the environment is further extended through certification to the FSC® Chain of Custody standard, this gives the Company and its customers confidence that the material we use has been sourced from well-managed forests.
Our trade printers are proud to beISO 14001 certified businesses. This means we operate according to a strict set of internationally recognised standards for environmental business practice. The ISO 14001 covers all sorts of business activity, from air pollution to soil contamination, so we can be sure that we’re doing everything we can to be environmentally friendly. Being an ISO 14001 certified company also means they get regularly audited to make sure that they continue to be environmentally friendly in the future.
Leopard Print Ltd - FSC Policy
The Company’s long-term intention is that the timber and paper used in the materials that we purchase will be sourced from well-managed certified forests and where possible we will source materials with the Forest Stewardship Council FSC chain of custody certification.
All FSC printed materials with a valid chain of custody will be clearly labelled with a materials identification label in line with the requirements of the certification scheme.
The Company ensures our trade suppliers are able to provide evidence that the materials they supply are from responsible sources and are able to provide species information on request.
Materials from other certified sources will only be accepted if it is not possible to source FSC certified materials and any such materials will follow the same chain of custody rules as the FSC.
Our trade printers’ FSC Chain of Custody Management System has been assessed and is certificated against the requirements of FSC-STD-40-004, V3.0 as well as FSC-STD-50-001 V2.0 and is subject to surveillance by an external certification body.
