FAIR᾿N GREEN, the seal for sustainable viticulture, is now also available for suppliers to the industry: FAIR᾿N GREEN Certified Partner. Vollherbst is the first printing company to receive this certification, thus positioning itself as a competent partner for wine producers who pay attention to sustainability throughout the entire value chain.
Vollherbst is strengthening its focus on sustainability. The receipt of the seal FAIR᾿N GREEN Certified Partner makes this commitment visible and gives a further impulse for the long-term development of the company.
An integrated system
"FAIR᾿N I find GREEN so exciting because it really goes deep," explains Matthias Vollherbst, Managing Director of VollherbstDruck GmbH. "Each company is considered individually in order to create an individual action and development plan." FAIR᾿N GREEN focuses on a responsible approach to people and nature. In the certification process, the entire value chain, the ecological footprint, the management and the social commitment of a company are analysed. Thus, the three pillars of sustainability - economy, ecology and social responsibility - form the foundation of every certification. The FAIR᾿N GREEN seal also commits companies to continuous further development.
Sustainability at full autumn
Vollherbst invests extensively in the sustainability of the company. This includes digitalisation, a resource-saving use of water and electricity as well as cooperation with regional suppliers. To the same extent, further training of employees, compatibility of work and family life as well as flat hierarchies and a say for everyone play a major role at Vollherbst. With FAIR᾿N GREEN, the family business is now part of a strong community of values, with the long-term goal of running a comprehensively sustainable business.
Dr. Keith Ulrich, CEO of Fair and Green e.V., is very satisfied with the cooperation: "With Vollherbst we have gained a very committed partner. The certification of the company marks the starting point for the expansion of the FAIR᾿N GREEN certification within the entire value chain".
Expansion of the portfolio
In addition to the company's focus on sustainability, Vollherbst customers also benefit from FAIR᾿N GREEN: The company continues to commit itself to constantly increasing the proportion of sustainably certified products and to adding environmentally friendly alternatives to existing inks, coatings and papers to its portfolio. Vollherbst is currently introducing the innovative EcoLeaf technology for metallized finishing without the use of embossing foils. The process saves a considerable amount of material, costs and production time. In addition, the technology enables a high variety of metallic colours and new options in label finishing. Customers who are themselves FAIR᾿N GREEN certified now have a strong partner in product marketing at their side in Vollherbst.
