Partners in Sustainability: Annie’s Homegrown Naturals

In the “Partners in Sustainability” series, we turn the spotlight to our clients, many of whom are setting new standards for social and environmental responsibility in business. All of them, of course, have made the commitment to sustainability by ensuring that their operations are aligned with their values. We invited them to speak directly to the connection between green printing and sustainability.

We continue the series with Annie’s, a leader in healthy – and tasty – food.

Annie’s and Sustainability

Since Annie’s was founded, we have been committed to being responsible corporate citizens, and strive to integrate our philosophy of sustainability into every aspect of our business.  As stewards of our fragile planet, we’re motivated everyday to lessen our eco footprint on Earth. From selecting organic ingredient suppliers and green office supplies to working with some of the most innovative packaging partners around, we continually make choices that have a positive impact.

Printing Green

We’re always on the lookout for new technologies and innovations that make our current practices even better. There is always more that can be done, and we know that being a sustainable company is an ongoing process. Choosing a green printing partner was a natural extension of our overall commitment to sustainability.

Green Printing & Sustainability

Primarily, we wanted to choose a partner who we could trust to offer the best, “greenest” options for our business.  Greenerprinter allows us to choose business cards, mailers, fliers and sales materials that are printed on 100% recycled content, 50% post-consumer content, chlorine-free paper.  We have been impressed with Greenerprinter’s many certifications – from FSC to Green America Seal of Approval – and appreciate that they continually push themselves to seek out the latest sustainable innovations.  Annie’s always prefers to work with partners who share our values, and we’re proud of the relationship we’ve developed with Greenerprinter over the years.
