Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Yellow Slate Design, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact and operating responsibly wherever possible.

We comply with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations and industry best practices, while continually looking for ways to improve the sustainability of our operations.

Where possible, we prioritise the use of recyclable and responsibly sourced materials, helping our clients make more environmentally conscious choices without compromising on quality.

We actively monitor our production processes and material usage to minimise waste and make efficient use of resources. Any surplus materials are recycled whenever possible, or repurposed for alternative uses to reduce landfill waste.

Sustainability is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our processes, assess our environmental impact and identify opportunities to improve. By making informed choices and embracing responsible practices, we aim to deliver high-quality design and print solutions while reducing our impact on the environment.

What is Carbon Capture?

The Carbon Capture programme mitigates the CO2 emissions from the production and distribution of paper and materials, purchased from Premier and gives customers and their clients the opportunity to join with many major brands and fully engage with, and directly support the work of the Woodland Trust – 100% of the money raised through Carbon Capture goes directly to the Woodland Trust to plant native woodland in the UK.

How does it work?

The average amount of CO2 emitted from the manufacture and distribution of a tonne of paper has been calculated, this calculation is verified by the Woodland Trust using Carbon Trust and DEFRA figures.

When an organisation elects to Carbon Capture their paper purchases, the amount is shown as a separate line on their invoices. Signing up to Carbon Capture brings many benefits and cause related marketing opportunities such as tree planting events around the UK.

Your donation to help us protect and care for our woods.

Capturing and storing carbon from the atmosphere is vital in the fight against climate change. The 1,000-plus woodlands cared for by the Woodland Trust absorb and lock-up many tonnes of carbon each year in trees, shrubs and soils.

By making a donation, you’ll help protect and add to this extensive carbon store, ensuring it continues to absorb emissions, as well as creating natural havens for wildlife and people.
