SAYVILLE, N.Y. — December 11, 2018 — The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) announced its sister company SGP Foundation, Inc. (SGPF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization.

The mission of the SGPF is to provide education and awareness on the best practices associated with sustainability in the printing industry, including printers, suppliers and customers/print buyers. SGPF key focus includes:

• Promote sustainable & technological innovation

For 2018, the 10^th anniversary year of SGP, the introduction of SGP Foundation is a key milestone along with introduction of the SGP Impact Tracker and merger of the TLMI L.I.F.E. certification program in SGP. “For 10 years, the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership has enabled printers to demonstrate and validate their commitment to sustainability via SGP certification,” says Doreen Monteleone, SGP Foundation board member and Flexographic Technical Association representative. “With the SGP Foundation and its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, we are providing education about sustainable printing to the current and next generation of printers through information exchange and collaboration facilitating a more sustainable future to benefit everyone.”

“The SGPF comes out of an understanding that SGP and our community of certified printers, industry suppliers, associations and retail brands have valuable experience and information to share with a broader audience,” adds Graham. “We anticipate the Foundation to be the catalyst for innovation in the sustainability for the printing industry and businesses in general.”
