ZKB awards the ZKB Sustainability Prize for SMEs for the first time. Druckerei Feldegg was one of the three winners in this competition for sustainability. On Monday, August 31, 2009, Erwin Oberhänsli received the prize for his many years of success in environmentally friendly production from Charles Stettler, Head of Corporate Clients at ZKB. His company was awarded third place. The owner-managed Zurich-based company is regarded as a pioneer in sustainable media production, writes the Swiss Printing Industry Association VSD. A total of 66 SMEs took part.
As a pioneering, regional graphic arts center for the environmentally friendly production of exclusive printed matter, Druckerei Feldegg is making a name for itself, as the family business has been committed to greater sustainability in its operations for almost 20 years now, as the press release explains further. Druckerei Feldegg was the first company in Switzerland to implement the VSD concept for the climate-neutral printing process. According to the press release, climate-neutral printing means offsetting CO2 emissions that are difficult or impossible to reduce with current technology by saving the same amount elsewhere. The holistic context with the integration of other aspects of environmental protection makes climate-neutral printing truly credible: this includes energy efficiency, paper from sustainable forestry, certified environmental and quality management systems.
