Canopy, a “not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting the world’s forests, species and climate,” has announced that they are searching for North America’s “greenest” commercial printers. The first ever Green Print Leadership Survey is a free, open-to-all-comers online survey that asks printers about their sustainability policies and certifications, their engagement with forest conservation and eco paper engagement, and other questions about the paper they use.
The Green Print Leadership Survey evolved out of the work Canopy had done with Sprint on developing their
eco-envelope. Says Canopy in a press release:
This effort to identify Green Print Leadership is of interest to many large-scale consumers of paper and print services. Sprint, who last month updated their Paper and Print Procurement Policy looks forward to the results.
The survey is open to all North American printers, and can be accessed
here. The survey closes on September 15, 2012.
