Here at Leaflet Distribution Co., this is so much more than a policy - it's a way of doing business and ensuring we do our part for the climate.

We will share all our greener initiatives, partnerships, plans and more - all of which will hopefully show you how we can be so much more sustainable together, especially when it comes to the wonderful world of leaflet distribution.

The Co. Five Pillars of Sustainability

1 - Carbon Balanced Print

As part of The Flow Group, we are an accredited World Land Trust (WLT) Carbon Balanced Printer. This means that with every leaflet distribution order, you can choose carbon-balanced print (with or without branding stating as much). 

We even provide you with a monthly report and certificate highlighting how many Kg of CO2 you've offset and how many m2 of endangered carbon-rich habitats you've directly protected.

As a company, we offset our carbon emissions by supporting vital conservation projects around the globe through the WLT. 

The Head Patron of the WLT is the legendary Sir David Attenborough. He states, "The money that is given to the World Land Trust, in my estimation, has more effect on the wild world than almost anything I can think of." 

2 - SME Climate Pledge

All Co. brands form part of a pledge to the SME Climate Pledge, which enables SMEs like Leaflet Distribution Co. to make an internationally recognised climate commitment and measure our commitment via the SME Climate Hub's tools and resources.

By collaborating with other like-minded businesses, we are actively pursuing ambitious goals to slash greenhouse gas emissions, tackle environmental challenges, and promote a sustainable future. 

This collaborative effort aims to achieve a 50% reduction in our carbon footprint by 2030, ultimately reaching complete carbon neutrality by 2050.

3 - Love Paper and Two Sides

If you've heard of greenwashing, you've probably heard of Love Paper and Two Sides, too. It's these guys who confront the likes of HSBC...and win!

We love how they dismiss the myths about the sustainability of print and packaging, which is why it was a no-brainer to support these organisations and join at the partner level. 

Together, we raise awareness about the responsible sourcing of paper, recycling initiatives, greenwashing, and the positive impact of well-managed forests. 

4 - ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001

Quality, environmental management, and information security are core principles at the heart of all Leaflet Distribution Co. operations. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest standards for you. 

From ensuring and continually enhancing top-notch quality control to implementing more and more sustainable practices to safeguarding data security, we cover every base.

5 - Sustainable Investments

It would be pretty ironic if we did all the above but didn't do anything to reduce the environmental impact from the very place we operate. Thankfully, sustainable improvements have and continue to form a large part of our investments for the next 12 months.

Following the detailed feedback from an Energy Resource Survey and consultation, we have installed energy-efficient LED lighting throughout all our premises, are installing solar panels to utilise renewable energy, and are making fabric enhancements to improve insulation.

These are a true win-win as we reduce our environmental impact and bills!

Let's Save the Planet Together!

One simple step you can make to help reduce climate change is to upgrade to our carbon-balanced, greener service. With this, you can receive monthly certificates showing exactly how many kg of CO2 you've balanced (offset) and how many sqm of endangered tropical habitat you've protected and restored. 

The best part is that it barely costs any more than conventional printing. You can then opt to have your green credentials printed on your leaflets; it's entirely up to you. 

Together, we can make a real difference.
