Environment

Platinum believes outstanding environmental practice needn’t cost the earth. The choices we make can have an impact on the world we live in. Making an informed decision to choose responsibly sourced paper and materials strengthens our commitment to the environment.

World Land Trust

Platinum is thrilled to be among the select few certified Carbon Balanced Printers. We take pride in supporting the invaluable conservation efforts of World Land Trust, aimed at safeguarding endangered habitats and wildlife.

Offering our clients the opportunity to offset their paper-based products is a source of satisfaction for us.

As a Carbon Balanced Printer, we contribute to the preservation of critically threatened habitats in Vietnam through our partnership with World Land Trust. This not only helps offset our carbon footprint but also aids in protecting numerous endangered species residing in these forests.

We’re also proud of our solar panel installation at our Harrogate offices. This investment represents a significant stride towards achieving our environmental objectives. It serves as a constant reminder of our dedication to sustainable practices and our role in fostering a greener future. We firmly believe that through deliberate decision-making and investments like these, we can make tangible strides in reducing our environmental impact and inspire others to follow suit.
