There are many ways in which you can improve your sustainable publishing practices, from your office environment to printing and distributing the finished products and hosting them online. How do you make the change to 'green' publishing? Is it worth your while? How do you ensure that your costs do not escalate as a result? This seminar will look at the different aspects of sustainable publishing and will be an opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and colleagues on how to make the most of this important business decision and help to save the planet.
The seminar follows our very successful session on Green Publishing at the 2008 ALPSP Conference and the aim is to offer publishers and societies information and practical advice on what is involved in implementing a sustainable publishing policy.
The day will comprise a series of short, informative presentations with ample time for questions, concluding with a break out session when groups will be challenged to create their own environmental check list based on what has been discussed during the day.
Who should attend: publishers, managers, editors, managing editors, production managers, society officers and anyone involved in publishing with a concern for the environment.
'As an industry, we're already doing quite a lot on environmental and corporate social responsibility issues, but we need to do more. The Climate Change Act has legally committed the UK to cutting its carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050 based on 1990 levels. The EAG calls upon every publisher and bookseller to reduce their carbon emissions by at least 10% during the period covering January 2006 to December 2015.' www.green4books.org.uk BA/PA Environmental Action Group (EAG)
