To understand why the DPRINT team is so committed to sustainability, you must first understand what it is. At its heart, sustainability is the art, science, and social responsibility of meeting present-day needs without depleting the natural resources that will allow future generations to meet their needs. While it is most often thought of as environmental, it can also be economic or social.

Our ongoing sustainability project stands on three pillars. To protect and preserve the environment, to enhance our competitive advantages today, and to promote opportunity, equity and improved quality of life for tomorrow. With these goals in mind, we are committed to complying with local, state, and federal environmental requirements and laws. We work hard to be responsible stewards of our resources and to improve internal operations via lean manufacturing principles and clean technology. We also promise to prevent pollution by following the principle of reduce, reuse, and recycle.

We’re proud to be among the many businesses who take environmental responsibility seriously. It’s more than a buzzword for us – it’s an everyday business practice. What happens when your company joins ours as one who intentionally preserves our shared environment?

  • Your business can limit waste and responsibly source its raw materials
  • You’ll conserve energy and reduce many of the energy-related costs of doing business
  • You’ll draw interest to your brand from consumers who champion ecological responsibility
  • You’ll decrease your company’s carbon footprint and help reduce environmental toxins and pollutions

Simple Steps Your Business Can Take Toward Sustainability
Some business owners are reluctant to become environmentally responsible. That’s usually because they fear added costs or sudden change. Becoming a sustainable business or corporation is easier than you might think. Start with small steps and grow into larger ones. Consider the following simple ways your business can start making a difference.

  • Switch from LED to incandescent lightbulbs
  • Equip your cleaning crew with all-natural products
  • Limit the use of non-biodegradable plastics wherever possible
  • Opt out of unwanted paper mail – on the sending and receiving end
  • Consider avenues of charitable donations and corporate philanthropy
  • Adopt, and take care of, a piece of nature such as a local park or wildlife preserve
  • Turn off unneeded lights and machinery and encourage your employees to do the same

As you can see from the examples above, sustainability is easy to attain. It benefits everyone involved and leads to a better world for all of us. When we each do our part toward preserving the earth and its natural resources, present and future generations enjoy benefits like improved air and water quality. We help create fewer landfills and more renewable energy sources. When you undertake a commitment to environmental, social, and economic awareness, you establish a culture of caring and responsibility for your company.

At DPRINT, we firmly believe in the well-being and social contribution of every member of our team. Since 2016, we’ve intentionally equipped our team members with the tools and resources they need to become part of the sustainability movement on a variety of levels.
