Environmental Policy

Environmental Policy Overview

At Mr Flyer, sustainability is not just a policy; it’s an integral part of how we operate. Our commitment to the environment influences every aspect of our business, from design to distribution. On this page, you’ll find detailed information on our environmental initiatives, partnerships, and plans, all of which demonstrate our dedication to a more sustainable future in the realm of branding and graphic design.

The Five Pillars of Sustainability at Mr Flyer

1. Carbon Balanced Print

As part of The Flow Group, Mr Flyer is proud to be an accredited World Land Trust (WLT) Carbon Balanced Printer. This certification ensures that every piece of artwork we print can be produced as a carbon-balanced order. Simply request this service when placing your order with our Graphic Design team. Each month, we provide a detailed report and certificate outlining the amount of CO2 you’ve offset and the area of endangered habitats you’ve helped protect. This initiative supports global conservation projects led by the WLT, an organization endorsed by Sir David Attenborough, who states, "The money given to the World Land Trust has more effect on the wild world than almost anything I can think of."

2. SME Climate Pledge

All Mr Flyer brands are committed to the SME Climate Pledge, a global initiative that empowers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to take measurable actions against climate change. Through the SME Climate Hub, we access tools and resources to track our progress and stay accountable. Our goal is ambitious yet achievable: to reduce our carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and to achieve full carbon neutrality by 2050. This effort is a collaborative journey, aligning us with like-minded businesses dedicated to making a meaningful environmental impact.

3. Love Paper and Two Sides Partnerships

We actively support the Love Paper and Two Sides initiatives, organizations that challenge misconceptions about the sustainability of print and packaging. These groups are known for taking on greenwashing in the industry, and we are proud to partner with them at the highest level. Our collaboration focuses on promoting the responsible sourcing of paper, enhancing recycling efforts, and educating the public about the environmental benefits of well-managed forests. These partnerships are key to maintaining transparency and integrity in our environmental messaging.

4. Commitment to ISO Standards

Mr Flyer adheres to the highest standards of quality, environmental management, and information security, as evidenced by our ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications. These standards guide our operations and ensure that we continually improve in areas critical to both our clients and the environment. From rigorous quality control processes to the implementation of sustainable practices and robust data security measures, these certifications represent our dedication to excellence in every aspect of our business.

5. Sustainable Investments in Our Operations

Sustainability starts at home, and at Mr Flyer, we are continually investing in our own operations to reduce our environmental impact. Following an Energy Resource Survey and consultation, we have made significant upgrades, including the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting across our facilities, the addition of solar panels to harness renewable energy, and insulation improvements to reduce energy consumption. These investments are designed to reduce both our carbon footprint and operational costs, making them beneficial for both the environment and our business.
