Systematic are keen to minimise our impact on the environment, looking both at our own activities and the products that we supply to our customers, regularly acting on opportunities to generate environmental benefit.

We have recently been accredited to the ISO 14001 Accreditation, following steps set out in our Environmental Action Plan. All our electricity is purchased from 100% renewable sources, through Good Energy.

Through our membership of the Independent Print Industries Association, we support the industry-wide focus on using paper from sustainable, managed sources, and vegetable-based inks. We actively encourage the use of recycled papers.

As well as taking steps ourselves to reduce environmental impact, we are also pleased to support many local and national charities. Please see our donations page for more information.
