It's a foundational component of our environmental strategy and underpins our commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainable practice.

Developed in-house, the FGER evaluates suppliers against rigorous environmental criteria, including:

– Carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions

– Use of environmentally certified paper and materials

– Waste and recycling processes

– Energy efficiency

– Water use and conservation

– Compliance with ISO14001 and other environmental certifications

By using the FGER, we ensure that our customers have access to the most sustainable print and manufacturing options available. This system enables procurement teams to choose suppliers not just on price or capability, but on measurable environmental impact, aligning purchasing decisions with ESG objectives.

Suppliers are encouraged to improve their performance over time, and we support this journey with education, engagement, and clear benchmarking.

As Australia’s most comprehensive sustainability rating for the print and managed services sector, the Finsbury Green Environmental Rating drives real environmental change – project by project, job by job.
