Antalis Sustainability Charter

Our Commitment to Sustainable Development : sustainability Charter

As a leading international distributor of communications support materials, Antalis considers that its development must
take into account economic, social and environmental concerns. Through this charter, Antalis commits to continuously
strive to reduce the environmental impact of its products and activities, increase the well-being of our employees and promote
responsible governance in the way we run our business.

Environment

If quality and service are key considerations in our activity, reducing the environmental impact of our products and processes is also a strong responsibility for the company.  The materials used to manufacture paper products, their traceability, their impact on the environment and the requirement to maintain product integrity throughout the supply chain are all major concerns. This is why environmental issues affect our key business decisions.

Antalis

• Develops and markets a growing range of ecologically-responsible products - ensuring they are sourced from sustainably managed forests carrying strong and internationally-recognised labels and certifications
• Seeks to reduce the environmental impact of our deliveries (in terms of trucks and route optimisation).
• Reduces the carbon footprint of our warehouses.

Supply Chain

Sourcing sustainable paper and board materials is a key issue for our industry. We endeavour to work with suppliers that demonstrate environmental and social responsibility. We encourage sustainable business by asking our suppliers to improve their own environmental performance and by finding the most appropriate products and services.
