our approach

Why work with Calverts?

Print buyers come to Calverts for four main reasons - our creativity, quality, expert advice and track record in sustainable printing.

We have proper conversations with our clients, to help them realise their print ambitions - from fairtrade teaching tools and low carbon travel guides to art and science comics and high end books. There's almost no print idea we can't turn into reality.

We have a hard-earned reputation as 'green' printers. We're always investing, learning and sharing what we know about every aspect of low environmental impact communications.

And Calverts worker co-operative business model means we're able to improve continuously, by putting our money into state-of-the art repro and printing hardware, software and training - instead of paying dividends to outside owners and shareholders.

All this adds up to higher quality, higher impact print; timely delivery - and a better print experience.

Get in touch and we'll help you print something beautiful.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Standards & certification

Design and print affect the environment. Calverts has therefore implemented an environmental management system to the requirements of ISO 14001 to reduce our negative environmental impacts.

We are committed to comply with or exceed the requirements of environmental legislation and other environmental initiatives to which we subscribe. We are also committed to the prevention of pollution and continual improvement.

Our objectives are to:

1) Reduce our carbon emissions

2) Reduce the impact of paper use on natural resources

3) Improve resource efficiency and recycling

We have set up programmes to achieve this with targets and time scales.

Sustainability in print

Like Calverts, Tullis Russell is an employee owned company. Based in Markinch, Fife, it is one of the last independent UK papermakers, and a firm with a remarkable history.

TR aims for nothing less than a durable, sustainable future for UK papermaking. They make a range of high quality FSC certified and recycled papers for high quality print and packaging applications, including Trucard 50:50, Think 4 and Revive 100 Uncoated - all favourite papers of Calverts for quality andenvironmental impacts.

Sion and Oz from Calverts recently took six London-based designers and print buyers on a two-day mill visit, hosted by TR's Nick Shepherd. We are all trying to change the way people think about sustainable print, design and paper - Sophie Thomas from Thomas Matthews, design journalist and publisher Anna Gerber, Luke Nicholson of More Associates, Octavia Reeve from the RCA, Caroline Clark of Three Trees Don't Make a Forest (she also runs the Lovely as a Tree website), and Nat Hunter from Airside had an extraodinarily useful, enjoyable and productive trip. We came away with a better understanding of the papermaking industry and the issues it faces, but also had the opportunity to debate pathways to a sustainable future for the print design, printing and paper trades. http://www.tullis-russell.co.uk/papermakers/
