CMYKhub hosts networking event in Brisbane

CMYKhub hosted an exclusive networking event at the Pig ‘N’ Whistle West End (Garden Bar) in South Brisbane following the first day of Visual Impact in Brisbane.

During the event CMYKhub was presented with its Sustainable Green Print (SGP) L1 certificates for Queensland and Western Australia by Visual Media Association (VMA) CEO Kellie Northwood. The certifications round out the company’s accreditation for SGP following audits conducted earlier this year for Victoria and New South Wales.

Glen Francis, CMYKhub national communications manager, told Sprinter the certifications align with CMYKhub’s customers who have been increasingly requesting environmental accreditations.

“When our partners became certified with SGP it made complete sense for us to as well so that chain of custody isn’t broken when they outsource a job to us. We want our customers to know that sending an order to CMYKhub can be done so in good conscience,” said Francis.

“While it’s probably very hard to measure a return on investment in terms of sales, you have to consider what it could cost by not being part SGP. With increased government, social, and corporate scrutiny we need to consider lost opportunities for not having sustainable practices in place.

“Something Michael [Ellis, CMYKhub’s HSEQ manager] has successfully measured return on from the auditing process is our landfill expenditure. In fact, we have been able to half our landfill invoices nationwide,” said Francis.

“I would like to thank Kellie Northwood for her support in getting us started on this journey, as well as London Mills who made this SGP project very easy for us, and Michael for making this a priority in our business.

“I would encourage printers of all sizes to look into SGP. Our industry will be stronger if we provide a united front and demonstrate that print is the solution sustainable choice for marketing, branding, and communications.”
