Because doing the right thing shouldn’t feel like a trend.
At Premier Press, sustainability isn’t a side initiative. It’s integrated into every step of production. As the first full-service printer on the West Coast to earn certification from Sustainable Green Printing Partners (SGP), we hold ourselves to the highest environmental standards in the industry.
SGP certification goes far beyond paper selection. It requires measurable progress, third-party audits, pollution prevention, and socially responsible business practices. That level of accountability is what sets true sustainability apart from empty claims.
We operate on 100% wind power, maintain a near-zero carbon footprint, and hold certifications from leading environmental organizations. But more importantly, systems are in place to reduce waste, cut energy use, and drive smarter decisions for the planet and the project.
SGP-Certified Print Partner
SGP certification is the only industry credential that evaluates a printer’s entire process, not just materials. It focuses on continuous improvement across environmental, social, and operational benchmarks.
Premier Press was the first on the West Coast to achieve this certification and continues to meet its strict standards through biannual audits, renewable sourcing, and sustainable material use.
Forest Stewardship Council® Certified
Responsible sourcing that speaks for itself. Carrying the FSC® logo on printed materials signals a deeper commitment to conservation and community. FSC®-certified paper ensures your project supports forests managed for long-term health and global impact.
With FSC® License Code C023283, we make it easy for brands to align with the highest environmental standards and to communicate that story clearly to their audiences.
Sustainability is an ongoing practice, not a box to check. That’s why our efforts extend beyond the production floor by encouraging vendors to evolve, helping clients make greener choices, and continually pushing for better. The future of print isn’t just beautiful. It’s responsible and efficient.

Our Sustainability Policy
At Premier, sustainability isn’t optional — it’s the only future worth building. We lead with strategies and practices that protect, sustain, and restore the environment while driving smarter ways of working.
We choose better materials. We reduce waste and reuse resources with intention. We power our processes with renewable energy and push for greater efficiency at every step.
We partner with our clients to shrink our collective footprint and amplify the impact of their products. And we hold ourselves accountable — meeting and exceeding environmental, health, and safety regulations, while safeguarding labor rights and workplace wellbeing.
For us, progress isn’t measured only in growth — it’s measured in the good we create for our people, our community, and our planet.
Sustainability is not a liability. It’s our opportunity to lead.
