Leo has recently been recognized by Marks & Spencer (M&S) as an Eco Factory. It is an honor to be the first printer worldwide awarded this remarkable environmental recognition after the assessments conducted by M&S technical experts.
In 2007 M&S launched Plan A (eco plans), and in 2010 they substantially extended their environmental commitments, with the aim of becoming the world’s most sustainable major retailer by 2015. Through Plan A, M&S is working with customers and suppliers to combat climate change, reduce waste, use sustainable raw materials, trade ethically, and help customers to lead healthier lifestyles.
Eco Factory is part of the M&S Plan A commitments. Due to M&S’s serious commitments towards sustainability, this recognition is well-known both among the business world and among environmental organizations. This helps ensure that M&S products and manufacturing sources comply with sustainable requirements.
Sharing in the same vision, Leo, over the years, has been committed to green manufacturing and implemented a number of green initiatives for continuous improvement each year. This aligns with our Green Harmony philosophy to contribute to sustainable development and create a Green Harmony world. We also aim to promote environmental measures in every step of production, minimize carbon emissions, save energy, reduce waste, and uphold the “zero” concept (zero emissions, zero pollution, and zero energy consumption) in order to become a zero-waste factory.
As a result of our green initiatives, M&S concluded that we have made great progress towards minimizing environmental impact throughout every aspect of operations, and continue to improve our environmental performance. The commitment shown towards our ‘Green Harmony’ concept among Leonians, and the innovative solutions that we have pioneered demonstrate our dedication to the environment. Being an Eco Factory, we comply with M&S’s sustainable requirements. This, in turn, benefits our clients, some of whom are M&S direct suppliers.
Receiving this honor has not only reaffirmed our environmental efforts, but also allows us to work closer with our business partners who share the same vision for sustainability, which is critical to a company and its supply chain’s future success. Leo is continuously striving to be a green and carbon neutral company and to play a leading role in using sustainable materials in the printing communications industry. In addition, we also strive to provide total value-added environmentally-friendly solutions for you, our clients. We seek to work hand in hand with you for a sustainable future.
