Canopy believes that when the rest of the industry is fighting for business, the best are looking where the business will be… and will be there waiting.
Over the last 10 years we have all watched as certified organic foods, FSC certification and LEED building projects have altered forever the face of the those sectors. Customer demand for these products and services is testament to how fast consumer driven change can occur. It is those that are on the forefront of that change thatbenefit the most.
The “quantity printing” days may be over but the value of the quality print job may be just beginning. Today many customers see the paper as the message as much as the delivery mechanism for their message.
Diminishing forests and controversial fibre require customers to consider a wider range of paper specs besides price and availability. The environmental pedigree of your paper and the environmental reputation of your brand are value added services that can set you apart from your competitors.
After completing the Green Print Leadership List survey, you will be provided with a confidential assessment of your environmental performance relative to your closest competitors.
North America’s top 50 printing companies[1] will be invited to participate in the survey and the survey will also be open to other printers who want to participate. Those who decline the opportunity to participate will be invited to participate in subsequent surveys and may be noted.
The survey data collected is confidential. The data disclosed by your company is treated with the greatest respect and consideration. Canopy will release a list only to recognize leadership, and will not have any type of ranking.
