The same care goes into every book and into the place it came from. We measure our impact, publish it openly, and lighten it year after year.
Reducing our impact sits inside the business strategy, not next to it. Every figure on this page is measured, audited and published once a year in our Environmental, Ethics and Safety Report.
From the paper we buy to the way we power the presses and handle what is left over, we look for the lower-impact option at each step, then measure whether it worked.
A 2,030 m² photovoltaic installation on our roofs covers around 30% of the electricity we use, and the surplus goes back to the grid. The 2022–2023 upgrade raised output measurably.
~400,000 kg CO2 avoided per yearSustainable purchasing policies guide every paper decision. The share of non-certified paper has fallen from 58% in 2016 to 15% in 2025, verified through FSC and PEFC chain of custody.

One hundred and fifty people make Printer Trento. We invest in their safety, training and professional growth, and we let a third party check that we are doing it properly.
Since 2022 we have voluntarily submitted to biennial SMETA 2-Pillar audits covering labour rights, health and safety. Reports are published on Sedex, EcoVadis and the Book Chain Project.
Operating at the foot of the Dolomites, we have been measuring our CO2 emissions since 2020 and actively work to reduce them through ongoing sustainability initiatives.
We publish our environmental, ethical and safety figures openly, so that publishers, institutions and anyone else can read them without asking. Every number on this page comes from that report.
The available report describes our environmental, ethical, health and safety commitments.
