Environment and sustainability have been a focus of ours for a long time. Since 2012, all of our electricity has come only from renewable sources. Kroonpress was also the first printer in Estonia to regularly publish environmental reports. Concurrently, we launched greenlineprint.com carbon footprint calculator for our customers to find out the CO2 emissions of their products. Since then, thousands of labels have been issued and hundreds of millions copies of publication prints have been labelled.
