Monroe Litho was the fifth commercial printer in the U.S. (and the first in the northeast) to be verified to the national standard of the SGP Partnership. This group encourages and promotes participation in the worldwide movement to reduce environmental impact and increase social responsibility in the print and graphic communications industry through sustainable green printing practices. The SGP recognizes these sustainable business practices as guiding principles to ensure continued viability and growth:
- Employ, wherever and whenever possible, materials derived from renewable resources or with low environmental impact, maximizing recycling and recovery efforts with efficient utilization of renewable energy.
- Encourage the adoption of changes within the supply chain by strongly recommending the use of raw materials that do not threaten or harm future generations.
- Educate the customer and ultimate consumer regarding the benefits of a restorative economy.
