HP, Heidelberg, Ricoh and Sappi are among some of the print related companies that have signed up. Over 900 businesses have called on G20 leaders to tackle climate change, following the start of the climate change conference.

The Copenhagen Communiqué is described as a short, punchy statement that draws on some of the key thinking on climate policy that has emerged from the international business community over the past two years, and sets out the business case for a strong and effective UN climate framework. The Communiqué is an initiative of the Prince of Wales’ Corporate Leader’s Group on Climate Change which is run by the University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership.

Print City, which signed the Communique last week, is a strategic alliance that covers the print, packaging and publishing industries and its members include Manroland, UPM, Sun Chemical, Kurz, Trelleborg, Faist, MKW, M-real and project partner, Kodak.
