Our Environmental Statement
Today, more than ever before, the environment and the impact we all have every day are absolutely key to our futures. The hubergroup has always demonstrated a clear commitment to considering the environment in the manufacture and formulation of our products. In fact, Stehlin Hostag in Lachen were the World’s first ink manufacturing site to gain ISO:14001 certification back in 1999.

We achieved ISO14001 in 2008 and this year we have also achieved EMAS. We are the only ink company in Europe to have achieved this standard.

The focus on the environment has reached a level where it is clear that we all need to look at ourselves as suppliers, customers and individuals to do what we can. We have the opportunity to make a difference but it has to be motivated by the right factors.

We have made a clear commitment to become
the leading environmentally credible ink and
consumables supplier in the UK. We have
environmental solutions which offer a full range
of products and services tailor made to minimise negative environmental effects. These range from packaging solutions to reduce waste through to new product formulations which have very positive impacts such as our !nkredible printing inks, alcohol free founts and environmentally friendly washes.

Our environmental offering includes:
Enviro-bank – Our data store of environmental information.
ISO 14001 Consultancy and Technical Support.
VOC & Carbon usage calculations.
Product lifecycle analysis.
Alcohol reduction programmes.
Waste efficiency and packaging analysis.

It is our belief that by working together and by the exchange of information we really can make a difference.
