The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) is a non-profit organization that certifies printing facilities' sustainability best practices, including and beyond regulatory compliance. SGP advocates best practices and innovation among print community stakeholders, aligning the printing industry and its customers in the pursuit of a more accountable sustainable supply chain.
SGP is different than other certification programs in that it is a multi-attribute certification that was created by the printing industry specifically for the printing industry. It takes into account the entire print facility, its process, product and social areas. SGP certification elevates a printer into an elite group of top sustainable printers, recognized by both print buyers and the printing industry.
Printing facilities of all types and sizes in the United States and Canada are eligible to become SGP certified.
