Antalis’s ambition is to establish itself as an undisputed green leader in the paper industry, by setting clear and readable standards.
The Green Connection
The group has always worked closely with its suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to combine innovation, added-value and the pursuit of environmental excellence, and supported the local sustainable development efforts of its subsidiaries through initiatives such as Green Weeks, Green Days, Green brochure...
In order to ensure that a coherent message underpins these different actions and to deliver a consistent, structured, group-wide green strategy, Antalis has developed an umbrella corporate green identity known as the “Antalis Green Connection”. In tangible terms, this means that, going forward, such dedicated green communications tools as the “green stamp”, an immediately recognisable logo that will set Antalis apart, will appear on all corporate communications materials, product brochures and leaflets when they refer to green projects or initiatives.
Below several ambitious undertakings that now carry the Antalis green stamp and support the group’s objective to lead the way in environmental responsibility:
The Green Star System™
A simple and irreproachable system which assesses the level of eco-responsibility of paper types. This tool takes into account the origin of the fibre and the manufacturing process. It attributes a star ranking to each paper product, from zero to five stars based on its environmental performance. For even more traceability, Antalis has created Antrak, the Antalis suppliers platform that guarantees that your product comes from a responsible supply chain
The Eco-responsible Products Offering
Antalis has built an environmentally-friendly product offering that is one of the broadest available on the market today, adapted to all types of printing and finishing techniques, and that adheres to stringent environmental credentials. This enables corporate customers to easily integrate paper usage into their CSR policy while also taking into account cost and application priorities.
Multi-site FSC® and PEFC certification
In addition to its focus on referencing products with a strong environmental performance, Antalis is also attentive to the environmental credentials of the entire supply chain. Antalis is the first in the market to have set up a multi-site FSC® and PEFC certification to ensure full traceability and transparency through the entire supply chain. Audits are performed on logistics (labelling, separate product storage, delivery) as well as information systems (referencing, product categories…) and marketing and sales processes (use of logos, training…). The use of standards means that all certified countries are required to meet the same environmental requirements for their customers. Today, 32 Antalis entities worldwide are part of this programme.
Green tools
As green leader, Antalis keeps developing and promoting several tools to support and ease the communication on the environmental impact of paper. Discover them and share them when you like.
