Sustainability
Let’s make the world a better place!
Lewis Media Group is committed to being an ethical and sustainable business. Numerous Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives have been implemented because we believe sustainability is about actions, not words. Accordingly, our business activities are conducted in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ISO 26000 has also been applied as a guide to implement sustainability throughout our organisation.
A Carbon Neutral business!
We seek to be industry leaders in our commitment to the respectful treatment of the environment for future generations. Specifically, extensive carbon reduction strategies have been implemented and we have partnered with climate action company, Trace, to measure and offset the remaining carbon footprint of our operations.
Choosing us as your supplier will help to achieve your own sustainability and carbon reduction goals, as you’ll be actively reducing your scope 3 carbon emissions.
Now that’s something to feel good about.
Running on Solar Power
Every possible space at our factory roof has been fitted with solar panels! This massive 72kW solar system has reduced our grid energy consumption. Thus helping us on our way to be an eco friendly building. Any power which is pulled from the grid is off-set. You can track our progress.
Waste Reduction
Waste minimisation strategies are actively implemented within the facility which has reduced the amount of waste sent to landfill. Henceforth Lewis Media Group currently recycles 91% of all waste!
Diverting this waste away from landfill helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming.
Eco-Friendly Products
As part of our commitment to responsible consumption and production we offer a wide range of environmentally friendly materials for your projects. This includes Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) paper stocks, recyclable, biodegradable and PVC free products, we even have 100% recyclable pull up banner material! Together we can make the world a better place.
