Responsibility
We define sustainability as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Operating in multiple geographies – and running a company with paper at its core – Wentworth and Consolidated Graphics are extremely aware of the interdependence and fragility of our world. We consider it our foremost responsibility to operate in ways consistent with maintaining the quality of our environment, including recycling, using earth-friendly inks and doing business with other like-minded entities. In every choice we make, we strive to behave in ways generations to follow us will respect.

We will continue to operate in full compliance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations regarding air emissions and the disposal of waste materials to land and water; and we will continue to adopt new, environmentally-friendly printing processes and methods as they are introduced in our industry.We support responsible management of the world’s forests, value business solutions that promote sound environmental stewardship. Wentworth also practices conscientious recycling of all its major consumable materials and will continuously invest in equipment to increase the environmental friendliness of all operations.

We are also certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. SFI chain-of-custody certification is an accounting system that tracks fiber content through production and manufacturing to the end product.
