Lowe-Martin has been recognized as an industry leader for encouraging investment in greener processes, for sharing ideas and best practices, and for demonstrating that environmental sustainability truly does provide a competitive advantage. The company continues to advance a clear strategy to reduce its ecological footprint by implementing meaningful solutions that do much more than pay lip service to the cause of environmentalism.
We firmly believe that all printers should consider the environmental impact of each and every step of the printing process – from forest to final product. Lowe-Martin knows that being truly eco involves replacing harmful practices with greener alternatives, and fully integrating sustainability into the corporate philosophy. We’ve been at the forefront of the green printing revolution for over a decade, so you can rest assured that your needs (and those of our planet) are in good hands.
We have prospered for over 100 years now, and understand that in order to thrive for another century; we must protect our resources and our planet, and give back to the community that has assisted in our growth.
We are proud to have been presented with the GOLD AWARD for Most Environmentally Progressive Printer in Canada for the second consecutive year, at the 4th Annual Environmental Printing Awards held on February 12, 2009 in Toronto. Read More…
We are deeply honoured to be recognized for our efforts and are committed to living up to the expectations associated with such recognition.
Bullfrog Power
In 2007, Lowe-Martin became the largest purchaser of 100 per cent green electricity in the Canadian commercial print industry, joining the list of Canadian businesses and organizations that are showing their support for the supply and development of green power.
We are continuing to advance a clear strategy to reduce our ecological footprint by implementing meaningful solutions that actively contribute to the cause of environmentalism. With the help of Bullfrog Power, we can offer our clients printed materials produced with clean, renewable, emissions-free power that drastically reduces traditional power usage and greenhouse gas emissions. This benefits not only the customer, but also the community at large.
