Yerecic Label achieves SGP certification

US-based Yerecic Label has received accreditation from the Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) partnership for its sustainable practices in the printing industry.

The company's certification reflects its dedication to environmental stewardship and social responsibility at its Pittsburgh facility, with intentions to apply for certification of its Phoenix facility in the future, as SGP certifies printing facilities independently of one another.

SGP is a non-profit organization that certifies printing facilities for their sustainability best practices, extending beyond regulatory compliance.

‘We are thrilled to receive SGP certification, as it validates our ongoing efforts to prioritize sustainability in our operations,’ said Yerecic Label president, Art Yerecic. ‘This achievement demonstrates our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and promoting a more sustainable supply chain.’

To attain SGP certification, Yerecic Label underwent a rigorous evaluation process, including an independent third-party audit aligning with SGP's criteria. This encompassed various aspects such as environmental, health, and safety compliance, continuous improvement initiatives, and stakeholder communication.

‘We are proud to be recognized as a top sustainable printer by SGP,’ said Elizabeth Yerecic, EVP of sales and sustainability at Yerecic Label. ‘We had an exceptional audit performance with no corrective actions that underscores our team’s dedication to implementing sustainable practices throughout our entire operation, from production processes to product delivery.’

Yerecic Label's SGP certification makes it one of the environmentally-conscious printing facility that also aligns with the expectations of environmentally-conscious consumers and stakeholders.
