Sustainable environmental design
is a serious business

Firebrand are committed 100% to becoming a fully sustainable business. In fact, we're well on our way to that goal with an on-going programme of initiatives.

What we do

Reduce

  • energy consumption by ensuring our equipment operates on sleep and shutdown modes
  • energy by selecting energy efficient equipment and lighting
  • heat and water by using them sparingly
  • the use of paper throughout the office
  • duplicate mail subscriptions by cancelling unwanted items
  • pollution by switching to suppliers of green energy
  • pollution by using public transport wherever practical

Reuse

  • all postal packaging

Recycle

  • all paper, card, cans, glass, plastic and cartridges
  • equipment that can no longer be reused
  • purchase everything with recyclability in mind

Why we do it

We're a small business. We're just one small green cog in a big polluting wheel. However, we believe that by adopting best practice there's a much bigger knock-on effect through the work we do with our suppliers and clients. That means...

  • promoting the efficient use of resources in printing through intelligent design
  • encouraging the use of recycled, managed and recyclable materials
  • providing on-going environmental consultancy and evaluation
  • ensuring your own policies are recognised and understood

It is also our policy to work with like-minded suppliers. So, we use printers that hold FSC accreditation and conform to ISO14001 environmental standards. And, we're delighted to report that we already work with people who've not just been receptive but inspirational on a variety of environmental initiatives.
