The Syndicat des éditeurs de la Presse Magazine is committed to the creation of an eco-simulator for the magazine press.
"SEPM is committed to providing a tool for calculating the carbon impact of magazine publications, in print and digital. This new tool will be made available to the union's publishers and could be a lever for improving practices and informing readers said the union in a statement.
Press publishers are thus affirming their desire to accelerate the transformation of industrial and eco-design practices in magazine production.
"Paper is sometimes unfairly blamed on digital technology"
Still in the context of digital and ecological transition, SEPM calls for the organization of a General Assembly of the graphic industry. "At a time when paper is sometimes unfairly questioned in favor of digital, SEPM is calling for a general meeting of the industry that will allow an inventory of practices and a collective reflection of all stakeholders.»
The objective is to identify areas for improvement and to extend virtuous practices to all manufacturers.
