ResponsibleSustainable ProcurementChain of Custody

Interest in the procurement of printed products produced in a sustainable manner is gaining momentum as consumers

and stakeholders increasingly want to know that in buying and consuming these products they are contributing to

positive social, environmental and economical outcomes.

As an organisation, we primarily deal with paper suppliers who can verify conformance to all environmental, health

and regulatory requirements including forestry codes of practice. The process above includes Chain of Custody

CertificationsfromsystemssuchasForestStewardshipCouncil(FSC),SustainedForestryInitiativeandProgramme

fortheEndorsementofForestCertification(PEFC).

The main objective of Chain of Custody Certification is to ensure that material purchased from certified sources is

tracked through the entire production chain, from plantation to end user.

We believe we have invested in a process which will unlock positive environmental, social and economic benefits.

An investment that will not only contribute to a better world, but will also add value to all of our stakeholders.

We’re continually investing in all of production, waste disposal and sourcing of raw materials to minimise our environmental impact.

AuditableGreen StampAvoid - Reduce - Recycle - Reuse

In November 2008 our production hub underwent an audit by the Printing Industries Association

Australia. As a result of that audit we achieved Green Stamp Certification in all centres and

Green Stamp Level 1 and 2 Certification at our production hub.

Under Level 1 certification we hold all relevant licences and permits and satisfy fundamental

infrastructure and legislative compliance requirements.

Under Level 2 certification we recycle all waste paper, plastics, metal and wood. We use

environmentally sensitive inks and chemicals. Residue inks, chemicals and consumables are

disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

In 2011, as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce the impact of our business on the environment,

wehaveandcontinuetoinvesthundredsofthousandsofdollarsinreplacingfluorescenttubes

with Low Energy TC5 tubes. Currently under consideration is implementing Solar Power which

could reduce our power consumption by 15% and Energy Optimisation which could reduce

power consumption by 8-10%.

Consider these numbers!

1,000 A4 letterheads = 44 kg CO2e

5,000 A4 brochures = 226 kg CO2e

20 triplicate A4 NCR books 50 sets per book = 134 kg CO2e

The impact of neutralising 6,683 t CO2e can be summarised as:

Litres of fuel saved – 647,070

Kilometres off the road – 8,863,969

Annual vehicles off the road – 607

We make sure you don’t pay any extra to do your bit for the environment. Carbon Neutral comes at no extra cost.

UnrivalledNo CO2While we educate our team in the benefits of behavioural change and identify technology and

process to reduce our carbon footprint, it is inevitable that we will not be able to neutralise our

unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

In March 2012 we engaged the Carbon Reduction Institute to conduct a no CO2 audit of our

production hub and centres. The no CO2 audit aims to capture 100% of emissions which an

entity is responsible for.

During October 2012 Worldwide Online Printing pioneered the way forward in becoming

Australia’s first carbon neutral print group.

To neutralise our unavoidable emissions we purchase carbon credits in Carbon Credit Projects

asdeterminedbytheAustralianFederalGovernmentNationalCarbonoffsetstandard.

Clean energy from biomass in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

Indian energy production is lagging behind economic

growth rates. The vast majority of the country’s energy

needs are met by emission intensive fossil fuels,

mainly coal and oil. With energy demand expected to

double by 2025, this constitutes an immense political,

economic and environment challenge for the world’s

second most populous country.

The states of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, where this

biomass project is taking place, are located in the

north of the sub-continent. With their particularly

fertile soil, the economy of both states is largely

dependent on agriculture. Economic growth rates

are very low and the majority of the working class

still live at subsistence level. The electricity supply in

Uttar Pradesh is so unstable that it limits industrial

output, thus slowing down economic development.

The situation is similar in Punjab where the demand

for electricity is high and ever increasing, but cannot

be met by the existing supply.

Switching from coal to renewable biomass

The emission reduction project takes place at two

productionsitesofthedairyproducerMilkFoodLtd

in Bahadurgarh (Punjab) and Mulgarpur (Uttar

Pradesh).Beforethestartoftheprojecttheelectricity

needsofMilkFoodLtdweremetbypowerfromthe

grid and the steam needed in the dairy production

was produced on site with an old, inefficient coal

fired boiler.

To meet the rising energy demands in the dairy

production, a new efficient cogeneration plant

producing both steam and electricity was installed.

The new boiler is fed with locally available agricultural

waste(ricehusks)insteadofemissionintensivecoal.

Before the start of the project the rice husks were

not used – they were either burned without using

the resulting thermal energy, or simply left to decay,

thereby generating methane emissions.

The factories’ steam requirements can now be met

entirely by the new co-generation unit. Power needs

are partly met by on-site production, but some power

still has to be purchased from the grid. The investment

required for the new co-generation unit could not

have been raised without the revenue from the future

sales of carbon offsets.

How it works

Biomass refers to biological material derived from

organic matter such as wood and organic wastes.

In the case of this project, the biomass is locally

available agricultural waste. During combustion,

biomass releases only the amount of carbon

dioxide bound during the lifespan of the plant.

As long as the extraction of biomass is less than

the annual growth of the plant it derives from,

biomass can be considered to be a climate neutral

fuel. The use of agricultural residues is particularly

sensible because there is no conflicting use for

the biomass.

Carbon Offset Project 1India: Clean energy from biomass in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh

Aims to improve the living standards of people living in the region by developing a more efficient home cooking stove.

Carbon Offset Project 2Cambodia: Impacting living conditions of the local people

The second project, based in Cambodia aims to improve the living standards of people living in the region by

developing a more efficient home cooking stove.

The benefits of this initiative will have a direct impact of the living conditions of the local people including relieving

the burden on women and children to gather fire wood in a countryside littered with more than six million landmines,

where over 200 people are killed or maimed each year. This in turn will allow children more time to attend schools to

receive better education. In addition, this project will also have a direct impact on illnesses caused by the burning

of traditional wood fuel indoors and from an emissions abatement perspective, will reduce deforestation and

environmental degradation caused by the informal logging of large quantities of wood.
