Supplier and installer of sustainable event graphics and signage, Insite Graphics, has become the first company to achieve Tier 5 under the new scoring system of ESSA’s Sustainability Accreditation.
Having already achieved the ISO 14001, Insite has demonstrated that sustainability runs through every aspect of the business.
All products have been created with sustainability in mind, such as Insite’s paper and card-based signage which can be recycled, fabric soft signage which can be recycled into clean fuel for local community energy and aluminium frames which can be re-used time and again for future projects. In addition, water based inks are used in a clean printing process ensuring no harmful VOCs are ever released into the atmosphere.
Insite also supports clients during the decision-making process to educate on the best sustainable options, offsetting opportunities and recycling methodologies.
From an operational perspective, Insite has implemented robust sustainability policies and carbon management plans to include tracking carbon emissions and a variety of carbon offsetting projects accompanied by extensive staff training and a corporate wellness scheme.
Chris Berrisford, owner, Insite Graphics, said: “I’m incredibly proud of my team, they put 150% into everything they do to ensure that we implement and maintain high eco standards and these accreditations are testament to that.”
Josh Taylor, H&S manager, ESSA, added: “Under ESSA’s new scoring system for our Sustainability Accreditation, Tier 5 – equivalent to achieving Platinum under the previous scoring system – represents the highest award possible.
“The accreditation distinguishes Insite Graphics as an industry leader in every aspect of sustainable practices. They are a perfect example of sustainable excellence, and they have set a bar that we hope many more in the supplier and contractor sector will follow.”
