Think of tomorrow today. For many years, companies around the world have been working on minimizing the use of resources, using energy more efficiently and optimizing the use of raw materials. Their objective is to relieve and protect the environment for future generations. Prinovis also focuses on certified environmental management systems and is committed to environmental protection.

With Prinovis, environmental responsibility is a deep-seated policy and means that its employees are obliged to act in an environmentally responsible way. The issue of environmental protection has long been a crucial one for company’s printing plants because they consume environmental resources. But we make use of our options for environmentally-friendly production at the same time. For many years, Prinovis has successfully managed to continually reduce the use of resources, use energy more and more efficiently, and optimize use of raw materials. The following environmental goals have been determined for individual sectors in the 2009 environmental report:

Sphere of Activity	Objective for the future	Measures / Schemes	Deadline
Energy and resource efficiency	Raise energy efficiency by 3%, thereby reducing CO2 emission	Improved energy efficiency in generation of power (CHP expansion and optimization)	continuous
		Improved energy efficiency in consumption (building services, building occupancy, production engineering	continuous
		Check CO2-free and low-grade CO2 energy supply (biomass)	continuous
		Improvement of energy efficiency through change in attitudes (staff training and information)	continuous
Responsibility	Enhanced ecological consciousness and knowledge among staff	Design and implement a communication concept	√
	All management systems meet ISO 14001 standard	Set up an environment management system in Liverpool	continuous

Another crucial aspect is the use of paper generated from responsible forest cultivation. Prinovis aims to support its customers in using certified paper.
