Lean & Green - What Does it Mean for Your Business?

How does Lean & Green work?

Lean & Green combined with Sustainable Green Print is your complete pathway to ISO140001 certification. SGP or 'Sustainable Green Print' is printing industry specific. It does much of the work for you through its industry specific resouces which show you:

  • Environmental laws you need to comply with;
  • Environmental risks associated with the printing industry;
  • Control measures needed to prevent non-compliance with pollution and other laws; and
  • How to document actions, undertake internal audits and manage your environmental system

All SGP certification is audit driven and comprises a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS) documentation (worksheets, guides and templates), and a website for specialist print sector guidelines. Training courses covering all Sustainable Green Print levels are available in all states. Click here for details.
