Sun Chemical issues report on its products' carbon footprint

Sun Chemical has issued its Carbon Footprint Report 2010, which details the results of nine independent environmental analyses that focus on the carbon footprint of its product lines.

The analyses cover six of the ink giant's product lines representing approximately 90% of the ink giant's offers.

It focuses on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that are associated with the product manufacturing and distribution phases.

Michel Vanhems, Sun Chemical's sustainability leader, said: "Our customers and the marketplace are looking for much more than the standard sustainability rhetoric; they want to know what their suppliers are doing to improve their sustainability performance.

"We're digging deep to get specific numbers to use in evaluating opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint as well as support our customers' efforts to determine the GHG impact of their products and meet their sustainability goals."

The Carbon Footprint Report 2010 is available to customers and can be requested online at www.sunchemical.com/sustainability.

The analyses were conducted by ENVIRON International Corporation.
