SGIA Announces Sustainability Recognition Program Honorees

March 24, 2015

Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA), Fairfax, Va., recently announced the recipients of its 2015 Sustainability Recognition Program Award. 

The program was designed to encourage SGIA member companies to create and adopt sustainable business practices and to set an example for other companies to follow, according to the company.

“Companies all over the world and throughout every industry are adopting sustainable strategies and processes, and SGIA wants to recognize their achievements,” said Marci Kinter, SGIA’s vice president of government and business information.

In order to receive the award, companies were required to submit a copy of their sustainability policy and a description of their continuous improvement project during the past year. The policy, however, is only the first step in developing a sustainability management system (SMS). SGIA now tasks companies to think about how to put policy commitments into action over the next several years.

This year’s honorees include:


BIG INK Display Graphics (St. Paul, Minn.)
Empire Screen Printing (Onalaska, Wis.)
GFX Intl. (Grayslake, Ill.)
