ESG

Environmental action

It is possible to operate a successful company while being kinder to the planet. We’re committed to minimizing our environmental impact, and we’ve searched across our business for ways to do it.

Improving how we operate

Less carbon

We’re committed to minimizing our carbon footprint, working toward a 30% reduction by 2030, and net zero output by 2050.

More renewable energy

We’re planning for a 100% renewable energy model by 2050.

More trees

We’re aiming to plant 500,000 trees a year in collaboration with PrintReleaf.

Less waste

Our goal is to cut solid waste production by 10% annually.

Powerful partnerships and programs

Our third-party partnerships help us ensure we’re learning from industry best practices and implementing environmental initiatives that create real and lasting change.

PrintReleaf converts paper footprints into newly planted trees. It’s an international reforestation program and clever software system that enables us to offset all of our clients’ print jobs—at no extra cost to them.

For every 83 lb (37.6 kg) of paper we print for a client's brand, we replant a tree on their behalf.

Clients can share updates about their sustainability efforts via QR codes on printed material, and by posting PrintReleaf logos, links, and certifications online and on social platforms. With just a quick scan or click, customers can instantly see how many trees have been replanted around the world on an organization’s behalf.

DCM lighting retrofit

DCM is undergoing an extensive lighting retrofit at our five largest facilities across Canada. Through this initiative, we are replacing older lighting technologies and products with new, energy-efficient ones—dramatically reducing our energy consumption. Our goal is to lower our greenhouse gas emissions by over 1,500 metric tons per year.
