Sustainability

We believe that sustainability makes fair and profitable business possible

Edita Prima’s corporate and environmental responsibility strategy is based on the three principles of ESG criteria (Environment, Social, Governance). These guide our daily decisions towards more sustainable actions and profitable growth. For us, the well-being of planet Earth, and people we work with, are equally as important as our financial success.

We have been classified as a carbon-neutral company since 2010 and our very first environmental report was published already in 2004. As a considerate operator with a proven sustainability record we understand our social responsibilities, care about the critical living conditions of the future generations and treat our employees, customers and partners as righteously as we possibly can.

Our goal is to continue supporting green transition within our industry, reduce our own emissions significantly and encourage all of our stakeholders towards eco-friendlier, more humane and softer business cultures. In addition to lowering our own carbon footprint, we provide our staff members fair working practices, offer them comprehensive training options, follow our ethical guidelines closely and monitor all of Edita Prima’s activities with regular surveys.

We are 165-year-old company that remains deeply committed to modern information security, comprehensive data protection and smooth customer communication. We believe that a compassionate and profitable business, built on the ideas of openness, trust and self-criticism, most certainly can be achieved.

There has never been a better time, or a greater need, for sustainable-driven collaboration than now.

Our long-term sustainability strategy is based on universally recognized ESG standards

ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is a globally known acronym which refers to the environmental and social responsibilities of companies and their good governance policies. We believe that our continuous ESG commitment makes versatile, considerate and successful business culture possible.

This is how we reduce our carbon footprint

Edita Prima has taken concrete steps and substantial actions towards a more sustainable business culture for two decades. Our first environmental report was published already in 2004 and since 2010 we have been classified as a carbon-neutral company which is based on the combination of carbon footprint reduction, carbon footprint monitoring and carbon footprint reporting as well as compensation mechanisms that we use.

Our primary goal, of course, is to reduce the overall carbon footprint caused by all of our business-related activities. Vast majority of our emissions currently origin from production phases and we are deeply committed to further developing our productional operations to turn them as harmless and environmental-friendly as possible. To achieve that we closely monitor the effects of our operations annually and simultaneously guide our clients towards more effective customer communication models with the aim of minimizing both the paper usage and the amount of waste material generated.

The first step of our sustainability actions is minimizing the carbon footprint. The second step is verifying the numbers with solid reporting. Finally, we offset any remaining emissions through reliable compensation mechanisms which means buying  climate units from the voluntary carbon markets. Our calculations are ultimately reviewed by the Swiss carbon finance consultancy company South Pole Group which subsequently has granted Edita Prima the right to use its prestigious climate neutrality certificate.
