Manor Earth
The environment is not only a social issue but a business challenge. We at Manor Creative recognise that businesses are under increasing pressure regarding environmental stewardship - from central government, other regulators, stakeholders, customers, insurers, the local community and employees.
Introducing our "Manor Earth" pledge
As part of our wider Corporate Social Responsibility policy, Manor Creative has taken an accountable perspective. By adopting ISO14001 as our Environmental Management System (EMS), we are continuously assessing and managing activities that contribute to climate change, as well as evaluating new processes and working methods to improve our environmental performance.
Our objective is to minimise the impact of our business on the environment. It will see us working with our customers and suppliers to combat climate change, by reducing waste, conserving natural resources, trading ethically and developing a sustainable business.
Environmentally friendly inks
All our inks are vegetable based as standard (made from vegetable oils such as corn, walnut, coconut, linseed, canola and soya). These inks use renewable resources, help conserve finite petroleum supplies, and do not compromise quality of your work. They have minimal solvent content, reducing VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from >30% to as low as 2%. Additionally, soya and vegetable based inks benefit the environment via their ease of removal from wastepaper during de-inking for the recycling process.
Process-less plate system
We are investing in a Fuji PRO-T processless plates, which will reduce our energy consumption and minimised chemistry usage and disposal. In addition to this our estimated water saving through this new technology will be in excess of 250,000 litres per annum.
Water conservation
Being located in the South East of England, we have a special interest in water conservation and all areas are under constant review. Water metering allows us to monitor consumption and introduce savings where practicable such as investing in a processless plate system from Fuji.
Managed forests
Manor Creative hold FSC and PEFC certification. This means the paper used comes from forests managed in an environmentally appropriate way, is audited by the Forest Stewardship Council (in the case of FSC), is economocally viable and can provide social benefits to the local population.
