SOS – sustainable print
Every bePartner we work with is verified and certified by us. These partners have the same mindset as beMatrix when it comes to sustainability: Become carbon neutral, or at least limit and reduce the CO2 released during production. Defining, measuring and offsetting emissions are the key concepts here. Here are some examples of the initiatives our partners of the printing companies are working on and which authorities exist in the different European countries.
Use ISO standards
Standards are best practices. They describe the best way to do something. Like making a product, delivering a service or managing a process. Most of our bePartners print their quality and environmental matters are managed in accordance with the standards of the ISO 9001, quality management and ISO 14001, environmental management. Check what they can do for you.
