The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), a non-profit organization that certifies printing facilities’ sustainability best practices, is pleased to announce Sun Chemical as the one of the newest SGP Patrons at the silver level.

Sun Chemical is a leading producer of printing inks, coatings and supplies, pigments, polymers, liquid compounds, solid compounds, and application materials. This move underscores Sun Chemical’s commitment to furthering sustainable business practices.

“Our policy is based on the concept of eco-efficiency as defined by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), meaning that eco-efficiency is achieved by the delivery of economically competitive goods and services that satisfy our customers’ needs and bring quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impact and resource intensity throughout the life cycle,” says Penny Holland, vice president of marketing, North American Inks, Sun Chemical. “We are pleased to provide SGP with support as patrons.”

As a Silver Patron, Sun Chemical recognizes SGP’s continued role in advancing the sustainable printing practices in both the print and buying communities. “For many years, Sun Chemical has been promoting sustainability through its products and services to the printing industry. By supporting SGP as a patron, they take the next step in a leadership role to encourage sustainable business practices,” says Doreen M. Monteleone, SGP board member.

With the support of its patrons, SGP is able to continue promoting sustainability to the printing industry, keep certification affordable and provide educational programs.
