Allen Press Receives Certificate of Partnership

In recognition of our efforts to reduce the risk of climate change through green power purchasing, Allen Press has been presented with a Certificate of Partnership by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership.

At Allen Press we are committed to being a good citizen of the global community. In partnership with our suppliers, vendors, clients, and employees, we are dedicated to finding new, more sustainable resources and more efficient technology, developing and adopting new processes and procedures, participating in a variety of environmental initiatives, and promoting and supporting sustainability in the publishing and printing industry.

In addition to FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, and our Facility Conservation Committee, we work with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation—a non-profit green power producer—to purchase and distribute renewable energy certificates. We annually purchase 250 certificates, which offset 25% of our non-production energy use. A three-part renewable energy program is available to our clients and employees. 1) For one cent per book, journal, or magazine, Allen Press will work with our green power producer on behalf of customers to acquire renewable energy certificates to offset the energy used specifically in producing their publication. 2) Allen Press will assist customers in their efforts to promote their commitment to sustainability through the purchase of renewable energy certificates to offset the energy used in their editorial or business office. 3) Employees can also purchase certificates to offset their personal energy consumption.
