VSD with eco-rating for printing companies

 Since February 1, 2008, the Association of the Swiss Printing Industry (VSD) has been publishing on its website those print shops that can demonstrate their performance in the area of sustainability with measurable results. The eco-rating system can be seen on Vsd.ch, as reported by Mediaforum. Print shops active in the field of sustainability are awarded an umbrella symbol in various categories as a sign of protection if they meet the relevant requirements. The rating also includes the two criteria "climate-neutral printing" and "energy check" (see ). It aims to make it clear to customers which print shops are exemplary when it comes to climate protection and the environment.
