The IS0 14001-acredited printer, which sealed first place in the award in 2007, was recognised for its on-going focus to make the business more environmentally-friendly.

Green initiatives and practices taking place at the firm included undertaking an energy management and carbon footprint audit as well as installing variable-speed drive compressors, saving 71,582kwh of energy per year.

The PEFC-certified firm has also fitted a solvent filtration system on its 12-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster 102, which recycles the water used on the press and helps cut waste.

Taylor Bloxham management systems officer Elizabeth Ashford told printweek.com the award "supports the company advocating its use of sustainable sources and energy efficient practices".

The 179-staff firm was also given a nod for its innovative approach to the festive period, where it distributed holly trees instead of Christmas cards in a bid to maintain a more sustainable work ethic and promote bio-diversity.
