Origin and evolution of the Imprim’Vert^® label

The Imprim’Vert^® label was launched in 1998 by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts, in collaboration with several industry stakeholders. Its goal was to encourage printing companies to adopt environmentally responsible practices. Since late 2007, the label has been managed by Amigraf, which oversees its deployment nationally and internationally.

Imprim’Vert^® is based on a precise set of requirements defined by a national advisory committee. The committee establishes concrete actions to reduce the ecological impact of printing. These environmental standards allow printers to structure their eco-responsible approach and effectively address sustainable development challenges.

Over the years, Imprim’Vert^® has become a benchmark for professionals in the sector, attesting to their commitment to environmentally friendly production. Today, it enjoys national and international recognition, supported by partners promoting sustainable printing practices.

Why we chose the Imprim’Vert^® label

At HPC-ADLIS, we believe that printing and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. We maintain quality and creativity without compromise. Obtaining the Imprim’Vert^® label fully reflects our commitment to responsible printing.

Adopting the Imprim’Vert^® label means:

• Taking concrete action for the planet by reducing our environmental impact.

• Ensuring our clients receive responsible printing free from hazardous substances.

• Showcasing our expertise while meeting sustainable development expectations.

• Continuously improving our processes for greater performance and durability.

Proper disposal of hazardous waste

Printing generates waste such as solvents, ink cartridges, toners, soiled packaging, and electronic equipment. We have established a strict sorting and collection system for hazardous waste in partnership with certified providers to ensure all waste is disposed of according to regulations, preventing pollution and promoting responsible management.

Safe handling of hazardous liquids

We securely store new and in-use hazardous liquids to prevent accidental soil or water contamination and protect our operators in case of leaks.

Exclusion of CMR products

We no longer use products labeled CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. Instead, we favor safer alternatives, thereby reducing the risks associated with toxicity and pollution. This approach reflects our commitment to minimizing our ecological footprint while ensuring the safety of our employees and our working environment.

Active awareness for employees and clients

We believe that a successful ecological transition depends on educating and engaging everyone. That’s why we regularly raise awareness among our teams and encourage our clients to adopt more sustainable practices.

Our staff receive ongoing training, updates, and reminders to help protect the environment in their daily work.

We also keep our clients informed through social media about our CSR initiatives and share practical tips on eco-friendly practices to inspire responsible behavior.

Monitoring and optimizing energy consumption

We track our energy use monthly to identify reduction opportunities. Measures include:

• Optimizing our investments to reduce the energy consumption of our equipments.
• Installing LED lighting in our workshop and offices.
• Encouraging daily eco-friendly habits such as turning off unused machines and managing heating and air conditioning.

Additionally, we use ClimateCalc to calculate the carbon footprint of our operations, helping us target strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our activity and our suppliers.
