What That Means

The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity. Their mission is simple but vital: to protect, restore, and create native woodland for future generations. By partnering with them, we’re directly contributing to projects that plant trees, protect wildlife habitats, and help tackle climate change right here in the UK.

It’s a partnership that reflects who we are as a business. We don’t just want to create beautiful print, we want to do it responsibly. Sustainable Print. That means thinking about where our materials come from, how our production processes affect the environment, and how we can continue to make positive changes in our industry.

Growth-focused and forward-looking

We’ve been supporting the Woodland Trust since 2022, quietly building on our sustainability efforts in the background. As our business has grown, so has our ability to make a bigger difference, and it’s time to share that progress.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about where we’re heading next.

What Sustainability Looks Like at Active Print & Design

Our partnership with the Woodland Trust is just one part of a wider commitment to sustainability across our business. It’s reflected in the materials we choose, the suppliers we work with, and the advice we give our clients when it comes to creating printed materials that have a lighter impact on the planet.

From FSC-certified papers and eco-friendly inks to efficient production methods that reduce waste, every project we deliver is guided by the same principle: print that looks good, feels good, and does good.

But it doesn’t stop at the presses. Behind the scenes, we’ve embraced paperless systems to further reduce our environmental footprint. Our quoting, invoicing, and project management processes are now fully digital, minimising unnecessary printing and helping us work smarter and more sustainably every day.

We also believe that sustainability starts close to home. That’s why we prioritise working with local suppliers and businesses wherever possible. Choosing local means fewer transport miles, less environmental impact, and stronger relationships with the people who share our community and our values. It keeps investment and skills within our local economy and supports the network of independent businesses that make our region thrive.

Sustainability isn’t just about being environmentally responsible, it’s about being socially responsible too. Supporting local is one of the most meaningful ways to do both.

Looking Ahead

Sustainability isn’t a project with an end date. It’s an ongoing promise. As technology evolves and new materials become available, we’ll keep adapting and improving the way we work.

Because for us, sustainability isn’t just about protecting the environment. It’s about building a business that our clients, team, and community can be proud of.

We’re excited to continue this journey with the Woodland Trust and to keep creating print that makes a lasting impression for all the right reasons.

Supporting Businesses with Their ESG Goals

More businesses than ever are setting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals and we’re here to help them reach them. From choosing recycled or FSC-certified materials to reducing waste and sourcing locally, we provide sustainable print solutions that align with our clients’ wider environmental objectives.

Working with Active Print & Design means choosing a print partner that shares your values and helps you demonstrate them in action. Together, we can make sustainability more than a statement, we can make it standard.

Beautifully designed. Responsibly made. That’s Active Print & Design.
