Sustainability
KIMBO Design implements sustainable design and business practices
KIMBO Design is a leader in sustainable design and business practices. With a strategy of reducing, reusing and recycling, we distinguish ourselves as one of the few sustainability-focused branding and design companies.
Businesses and consumers are becoming more environmentally savvy each day. They know that doing things the green way is less optional and more necessary. Going green gives companies an advantage in the marketplace.
Our approach to sustainable graphic design
When a client engages us in a marketing or creative project, one of our first steps is to brainstorm ideas about how to reduce materials for production. Whether it is packaging, printed materials or publications, we produce design that lessens environmental impacts throughout a life cycle.
We recommend green printing for our clients
Sustainable design and green printing is a standard for all KIMBO Design projects, making a positive impact on the environment.
While conventional printing is harmful to the environment, green printing uses post-consumer recycled (PCR) paper and other sustainable fiber alternatives. It also uses low-VOC inks, vegetable-based inks or soy inks. Green printing facilities employ various methods to clean up their carbon footprint, such as buying verifiable emissions reductions (VERs) and using environmentally friendly cleanup methods.
We demonstrate workplace sustainability
In addition to our commitment to sustainable design, KIMBO Design demonstrates HR and workplace sustainability initiatives. We hold high HR standards, hiring only when necessary. The collective spirit of collaboration in the office encourages employee retention. We do not rely on outsourcing, preferring instead to retain the valuable skills and abilities of our dedicated team members.
KIMBO Design continually implements many green office strategies that align with our sustainability values. Our office features many resource and energy saving elements, such as high-efficiency light bulbs and recycled paper and office supplies. All staff members transit and/or walk to work every day, and we enjoy monthly orders of local, organic fruits. As a testament to our dedication, we successfully completed the David Suzuki at Work Ambassador Program.
