Our commitment to Sustainability

At Moss we are dedicated to putting sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. To ensure we are unwavering in this mission, our actions are measurable and validated in conjunction with our ESG action plan. We aim to bring about meaningful change and lead the way in solutions to reduce the environmental impact of our work, striving to specify the best-in-class products, whilst considering all environmental impacts and auditing our supply chain to ensure their ethics and strategies align with ours.

As per our latest independent report, we have reduced our carbon emissions by 24% per square metre of material, and we are on track to achieve our goal to reduce our carbon footprint by 50% by 2030.

Leading the way in Environmental Solutions

Our strategy is built upon five pillars that place sustainability at the heart of our business, operations and initiatives. These pillars guide our actions and decisions, ensuring we make a positive and measurable impact on the environment, our business and the community.

Measure

We are committed to embedding genuine, measurable, and transparent sustainability at the heart of our operations, rather than rely on piecemeal. Since 2019, we have been measuring our carbon emissions to gain an accurate understanding of our business's environmental impact.

Activate

We have a Sustainability Committee that champions and drives our sustainability actions and initiatives across every facet of our business. Our goal is to exceed industry standards, remain at the forefront of innovation, and continually develop our expertise.

Change

To reduce our carbon footprint we source, test, and champion eco alternatives to traditional materials and embrace technology to maximise efficiency and minimise wastage.

Recycle

We are proud to have achieved zero to landfill in our operations and have developed solutions to help our clients with the same aim. By collaborating closely with our clients, we aim to identify opportunities for reducing, reusing, and recycling.

O = Target net zero

We have a well-defined roadmap to achieve Net Zero and will continually review our progress. Our initial target is to reduce CO2e by 50% by 2030 in alignment with science-based targets.

Our Sustainable Solutions

As part of our commitment, we are passionate about supporting our clients implement sustainable solutions for their branding and signage needs. Our expertise and innovative approaches enable us to provide eco-friendly options that not only meet their requirements but also contribute to reducing their environmental impact. By collaborating closely with our client, we ensure that every project aligns with our shared sustainability objectives, fostering a greener future for all.

Materials

Specifying the correct material is key, but using the optimum amount of material for the project is equally as important. We can use our ERP system LIFT to select the appropriate volume of material based on the stock and manufacturer available, but also suggest materials that are fully recyclable or have been made from recycled materials.

Inks

The ink that we use is paramount, we will only use manufacturers ink in their devices, all our inks are Green Guard Certified, hold the Nordic Swan Certification, and meet the Environmental Agency Gold Standard. Additionally, any waste ink is recycled back as waste to energy through approved sources.

Minimising wastage

As a manufacturer, the equipment that we use can have a major environmental effect, so when we upgrade our machinery the choices that we make can have major consequences. With our most recent purchases, we made considerations on energy consumption, connectivity, automation and quality of output versus speed of production.

Packaging

We will use bespoke packs, so your printed product is appropriately packed and re-use any packaging that has been supplied to us to pack the product. Should we need to utilise bubble wrap, ours is recycled along with our document holders. We offer tube and core collection schemes so any packaging can also be returned for re-use.

Local crews

To minimise travel requirements and enhance efficiency, we utilise local crew members whenever possible, and by doing so significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance travel. We also consolidate delivery runs to ensure maximum efficiency, reducing the number of trips needed and further decreasing our environmental impact.

Recycling

We offer comprehensive recycling solutions that are seamlessly integrated into our project services. Our approach includes the retrieval and recycling of materials used during our clients' projects, ensuring that waste is managed responsibly and sustainably. In doing so, we help our clients minimise their environmental impact and contribute to a circular economy.

We are zero to landfill

At Moss we are dedicated to advancing up the Waste Hierarchy, ensuring our clients benefit from our sustainable service. We employ various sorting methods and advanced technologies to extract the maximum amount of recyclable material from general waste. By prioritising recycling and waste reduction, we assist our clients in minimising their environmental footprint.

Our commitment goes beyond basic recycling; we strive to implement innovative solutions that enhance the overall sustainability of our services.

Together we can bring meaningful change and build a more sustainable world.

Case Study: ICE London 2023

In February 2023, we piloted a new initiative to support our clients exhibiting at ICE London at the ExCeL to support their sustainability objectives. We provided an end-to-end, turnkey graphics solution for multiple exhibitors that included print, install, derig, sorting, waste collection, and recycling through fully audited waste streams.

Analysis of the data post-event showed that 1500 square metres of graphics materials were collected, graded, and processed by our Sustainability Team and diverted from potential landfill disposal. Although complex in the planning, we developed effective processes on site to minimise impact for the client whilst maximising the quantity of materials reclaimed, resulting in a trouble-free operation.

Case Study: Tobacco Dock Partnership

Since November 2023, we have partnered with Tobacco Dock to become their preferred supplier of sustainable graphics, marking an important step towards enhancing sustainability practices at this London venue.

With a site spanning 16,000 metres and comprising of 57 versatile spaces, this partnership promises to bring forth innovative branding and graphics solutions tailored to the venue’s intricate Grade 1 listed architecture.

Our vision aligns with Tobacco Dock’s ethos, with the core focus of the collaboration being to introduce sustainability on a grand scale within events held at the venue, aiming to significantly reduce waste and environmental impact.
