Green Dot Award

PrintPromotion presents the Green Dot Award

Print Promotion GmbH presents the Green Dot Award to a visionary leader with outstanding ideas who has already made innovative contributions to sustainable printing in a special way or has rendered outstanding services to the graphic arts industry in another way and whose solutions are to be honoured.

It is precisely because the issue of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in the international arena that PrintPromotion offers itself here as a promoter of the printing industry.

 

Examples of this commitment are:

  • Responsible and innovative transformation of a printing company to a CO2-neutral operation
  • Future-oriented customer acquisition with CO2-neutral printed products
  • Focus on sustainable substrates, consumables and auxiliaries such as migration-harmless inks and coatings
  • Efforts for an efficient circular economy
  • Creation of green transparency through efficient processes with smart solutions (artificial intelligence)
  • Permanent increase in environmental compatibility through new processes, products or materials
  • Forward-looking concepts for involving employees so that they themselves act in an environmentally conscious manner and promote environmental protection in the company.

The entries will be judged by a jury consisting of well-known companies from the sector. The prize money available is € 10,000 for the winner and € 10,000 for a sustainability project of the winner’s choice.

Please fill in the form and send it to lisa.gruebl@vdma.org by 31 July 2023 or use the online form on the right side.

She will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
