SGP forms non-profit educational arm

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) has announced the formation of sister company SGP Foundation (SGPF), a non-profit educational organisation.

The mission of the SGPF is to provide education and awareness on the best practices associated with sustainability in the printing industry, including printers, suppliers and customers/print buyers. SGPF key focus areas include: the promotion of sustainable and technological innovation; advocacy for sustainable supply chains; to act as a forum for sustainability discussions; and to educate the public on print sustainability. SGPF will be chaired by long-time supporter of SGP, Jonathan Graham of TE Connectivity. “Companies, especially in the retail space, require printers to be part of a more sustainable supply chain. SGPF plans to provide educational programs and information that will positively impact sustainability success with our SGP certified facilities, brands, suppliers and the printing industry as a whole,” said Graham. “The SGP Foundation will directly address the needs of the market and provide best practices via seminars, webinars and information sharing to make the sustainability journey easier. “The SGPF comes out of an understanding that SGP and our community of certified printers, industry suppliers, associations and retail brands have valuable experience and information to share with a broader audience,” added Graham. “We anticipate the Foundation to be the catalyst for innovation in the sustainability for the printing industry and businesses in general.”
