"Our score proves how committed we are to minimizing our environmental impacts," said Liesl Beck, The Bernard Group's director of Corporate Social Responsibility. "Platinum status is the highest level awarded and places us in the top 1% of more than 100,000 rated companies across several industries."
What Contributed to Smartpress' Outstanding Environmental Score?
-- A robust recycling program that includes using recovered input materials
as part of their new closed-loop program for magnets.
-- Chasing new waste streams and optimizing current ones throughout all
their facilities to redirect 538 tons of waste to proper disposal.
-- Participating in a third-party energy audit to calculate energy savings,
resulting in a 100,000 kWh goal being nearly quadrupled to 375,884 kWh.
What's in Store for 2023
"Our biggest opportunities for improvement lie in the sustainable procurement category," said Beck. "Some examples would be integrating social or environmental clauses into our supplier contracts, FSC certification and on-site audits of suppliers. Maintaining Platinum isn't easy, so it's very important to focus on continuous improvement."
