The American Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute has honoured hubergroup for the fourth time in a row for its pioneering standards in terms of environmental protection, sustainability and social commitment.
The Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification is a comprehensive certification system that aims to make products and materials more sustainable throughout their entire life cycle. The most important criterion for an award is a holistic commitment in the areas of material health, product circularity, renewable energy, water stewardship and social responsibility.
The certification recognises hubergroup’s commitment to using materials that are safe for both humans and the environment. That its products are produced in such a way that as part of the printed product they can be returned to biological or technical cycles andeasily recycled after use. That hubergroup promotes the use of renewable energy sources and the responsible use of water, for example at its plants in Italy and India. And that social and ethical aspects are incorporated into the production process and corporate practices. hubergroup is not only recognised for individual products, but as a company as a whole.
“The compatibility of social, economic and ecological needs plays an important role at hubergroup. We accept our responsibility for our clients and the next generations at the same time,” says Richard Gill, Product Manager Sheetfed. “With our fourth C2C certification in a row, we are setting a new standard in our industry and going far beyond minimum requirements when it comes to the environment and sustainability.”
