Your marketing doesn’t just tell your customers about your products and services, it also tells them about your attitude to the environment. That’s why it makes good business sense to let them know that your printed marketing is not doing more harm than good. To help tackle the issues creating climate change, businesses need to take responsibility for their indirect carbon emissions and make continued efforts to reduce them wherever possible.

The Problem

It’s a fact of modern life that almost everything we do involves burning fossil fuels, this in turn contributes CO2 in the atmosphere and adds to global warming.

The problem is that using paper and postage isn’t environmentally friendly - electronic communication is much better. The point of difference is to come from the perspective that however much we might want to do away with paper and ink we can’t. It’s too much part of our lives and too effective. So if we have to use it then how can we use it in the most environmentally positive way and limit it's impact?

 

Our Solution

Offset your Carbon emissions by purchasing high quality design and printing from Andara who will “Plant trees for Life”. For every Kilo of CO2 we produce, by providing your marketing material, we invest in planting “trees for life” which will more than offset the carbon emissions. The trees planted are a combination of English Oak, Ash, Field Maple, Crab Apple, Whitebeam and Hazel located in Somerset, and are “Planted for Life” adding to the eco system.
