Ian Walz, national manager, learning and development at Printing Industries says sustainability practices are important part of any printing business operations and urges all companies to schedule the time and resources to secure the certification.

He says, “Some 17 companies have already achieved their SGP certification across the different levels offered and dozens of others at various stages of training and implementation.”

An example of those undertaking the program is Sydney’s Standard Publishing House (SPH) who are working on achieving their Level 2 certification and are using a consultant to assist them with implementation.

Walz said the Sydney SGP course was still accepting enrolments and would begin on May 31 (tomorrow) with the Level 1 introductory course. This would continue on June 15 and be followed by the Level 2 course on June 28.

In Victoria the Level 1 and 2 courses are already underway with more scheduled for July 14 and 28. Queensland Level 1 courses are also underway with Level two scheduled over June 2 and 9.
