FSC CERTIFIED

Kirkwood is committed to protecting the environment. Sustainable digital and offset and wide-format = beautiful print. Making more from less. FSC and SFI certified. We can advise you on carbon footprinting your publications, writing environmental attribution statements and reducing your print volumes.

PAPERS

We always recommend clients choose certified papers from well-managed forests. The criteria for these papers are to conserve biological diversity and ancient woodlands, protect indigenous groups and combat climate change. One day, we hope sustainable paper sources will be mandatory in the print industry.

UNLIKELY EFFICIENCIES

Transitioning to an electronic job processing system might seem like an unlikely sustainability initiative. But Kirkwood crunched the numbers and found that this small change could save significant volumes of paper and energy. We recently reached 500,000 processed with our Ktrack™ Network, a system that digitizes project information and  vendors’ billing files. To date, we have saved 5 million sheets of paper and enough energy to drive a car more than 45,000 miles, as well as increasing invoice processing speed and decreasing errors.

Enel X - DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM

Enel X helps hundreds of organizations throughout New England, save on energy costs, and mitigate carbon emissions with demand response. We are audited twice a year (summer/winter), on a given day we are asked to reduce our power load by a certain % for x number of hours.  
Common reduction examples include:
> Reduce non-essential lighting
> Modify manufacturing processes
> Adjusting HVAC equipment
