Publishing solutions provider The Charlesworth Group, UK, has announced formal accreditation to the ISO 14001 environmental standard. Environmental issues have been at the top of Charlesworth's agenda for many years. During the last two years, the company has made significant investment in new plant and equipment at the Group's manufacturing headquarters, ensuring their environmental best practice objectives continue to be met long-term.
Charlesworth's green offerings provide litho printing with vegetable-based inks on recycled and FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified papers as standard, with the option of recyclable laminate. Additionally, greatly expanded digital print facilities provide print buyers with the opportunity to reduce waste through Print on Demand. The company offers a competitive package for book and journal publishers, particularly those looking for 'greener' production of their titles.
The Charlesworth Group offers comprehensive typesetting, print and binding solutions to a diverse range of clients from world leading publishers and learned societies to commercial and not-for-profit organisations. The company's facility in China was originally formed to provide services which would complement those offered through Charlesworth in the UK. It currently offers a wide range of services tailored to meet the specific needs of STM publishers.
