Saving the planet is a huge and complex challenge, but through small changes, we hope to reduce our impact on natural resources and help our clients do the same. World Land Trust Carbon Balanced Certification is the latest step in Holywell’s long-term strategy to offer more sustainable printing.
As a Carbon Balanced Printer, Holywell Press supports World Land Trust’s crucial efforts to protect and preserve threatened, carbon-rich habitats around the world. And we are currently the only Carbon Balanced Printer in Oxford!

what is a carbon balanced printer?
A print business becomes Certified Carbon Balanced by measuring its primary carbon emissions and balancing these impacts through World Land Trust’s global Carbon Balanced projects.
Carbon Balanced Printers are leaders in sustainability and recognise the critical and continuing need to reduce avoidable emissions wherever possible. In line with keeping the global temperature increase to 1.5°C, Carbon Balanced Printers commit to halving their scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions by 2030 (2018 base year). We are making steady progress toward this goal, having reduced our annual CO2 emissions from around 29 tonnes to just over 21 tonnes in the past 5 years.
Carbon Balanced Printers can also exclusively offer customers Carbon Balanced Print and Carbon Balanced Paper-based Packaging – helping to meet the growing demand for print sustainability.
why choose carbon balanced print?
Carbon Balanced Paper, Print and Packaging is a simple choice that can help you or your organisation be more sustainable. It will reduce your environmental footprint, strengthen Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, benefit the planet, and make you feel good about printing.
You can celebrate and share the positive impact you’re making by adding the World Land Trust Carbon Balanced logos to everything you print with us.
