By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices across the sector. This includes promoting the use of eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and improving energy efficiency in production processes.

By leveraging Carbon Quota’s expertise, the initiative aims to set a new standard for sustainability in the print industry. This includes developing tools and resources to help businesses track their progress and achieve their sustainability goals.
The manifesto also emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability. By adopting a data-driven approach, the initiative aims to provide clear, verifiable evidence of progress. This will help build trust with stakeholders and demonstrate the industry’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact.
In addition to its focus on carbon reduction, the manifesto will address other key sustainability challenges, such as waste management, resource efficiency, and the use of renewable materials.
