Still too rare in the graphic arts world, the EcoVadis rating reflects the quality of a company's CSR management system, with a minimum score per implication: Environment, Social & Human Rights and Responsible Purchasing. It is now recognized as a global standard for CSR assessments with more than 85,000 companies audited in 160 countries.
"This very good grade is the result of 10 years of work. It rewards the unfailing involvement and motivation of all the teams."
Yann Venance, CEO of GraphiWare Group.
"We have established a clear strategic line, respectful of the environment, giving a central place to the men and women of the company, through managerial and technical innovation, while paying particular attention to the customer and the economic performance of our actions," he says.
"This rating is not an end in itself, it motivates the teams to continue to do better, to be even more innovative. We still have levers to make PrintFlux technologies even more efficient.
PrintFlux already integrates, both for large accounts and network customers and for printers, many facets that are part of a CSR approach: end-to-end traceability, PEFC and FSC labels, eco-design of products, waste reduction and the Citeo approach. Algorithms for production flow and stock management also allow for savings of between 20 and 40% in production and administrative costs.
"We have also introduced processes that optimize delivery. Our technology allows for the intelligent consolidation of orders to reduce the number of shipments and the number of packages. That's how we can reduce the number of shipments annually by 6 to 15 percent depending on the printers' organization."
