Solar panels installed by Landmark in previous years continue to contribute to the generation of renewable energy, replacing electricity that would otherwise be purchased from the grid.
Harmsworth Quays Printing Thurrock Within our portfolio of companies, dmg media is the only manufacturing business, and therefore makes up the vast majority of our environmental impact.
Water usage Water usage is directly related to the number of plates produced and hence pagination.
dmg media has continued to reduce water usage at its existing printing plants; a trend that is likely to continue.
Waste water from the platemaking process is recycled for re-use.
Approximately waste water produced each day is recycled and re-used (85% in FY 2019).
Domestic water heating and office cooling is via energy efficient heat recovery systems (air source heat pumps) which re-use excess heat in the press room.
Gas use for space heating is minimised by warm air recycling algorithms utilising excess heat generated from the printing press.
dmg media takes part in the Climate Change Levy (CCL) program, and supply our annual energy usage against output to the scheme as part of this process.
This program requires us to be more energy efficient year-on-year and results in a discount on our power charges.
We actively seek to reduce energy consumption by investing in replacement plant that is more environmentally friendly, such as replacement LED lighting.
We are also committed to reducing any harmful emissions where possible.
Our VOC emissions are limited to Domino printer ink chemicals only when our printers are running.
Temperature control is important within the press hall for our Flexo printing process.
The BMS has been optimised to use the cold outside air to cool the building inside, but still maintain a constant room temperature.
Free cooling negates the need to run the chillers, which are high consumers of electrical energy.
Any time the outside air temperature is lower than the temperature needed in the building the BMS uses the cold outside air first.
Our site power consumption is lower as a result.
printing processes Waste and recycling initiatives We seek to recycle waste materials wherever possible.
Printed and non-printed paper waste was reduced by (2,853 in FY 2019).
Core waste was (373 in 2019), and cardboard waste was 396 tonnes (578 in FY 2019).
Approximately borne printing ink waste and 700 cubic metres of water borne polymer solids is produced annually by dmg media.
This is processed at a chemical treatment plant prior to disposal.
Domestic waste-water is also sent to a treatment plant and has no connection to main drains.
We have been systematically reducing our specialist waste streams, through improvements in the recycling process.
Our waste from this stream was reduced by 5% in FY 2020.
General non-recyclable waste from dmg media is approximately annum.
However, this is sorted and recycled where possible by waste contractor Ahern.
The paper industry depends on, and promotes, sustainable forest management to provide a reliable supply of wood fibre, the key raw material for its products.
Wellmanaged forests bring multiple benefits for society, such as livelihoods, ecosystem services and biodiversity.
European forests, from where the region’s paper mills source over increasing by an area equivalent to 1,500 football pitches every day.
Over this forest area is certified to FSC or PEFC standards, thanks in part to the support of the print and paper industry.
Acquisition of three printing plants With Associated Printing Ltd’s acquisition of three printing plants in October anticipate that in FY 2021 the environmental efficiency of the above figures will decrease, and our absolute scope 1 Carbon Footprint may increase.
Initiatives are in place to reduce reliance on biocides in ink, such as UV filtration of water for ink make-up.
Similarly, our waste process water plant is constantly being upgraded to increase efficiency.
Only biodegradable substances are used for cleaning domestic waste systems due to our on-site package treatment plant.
A de-ionised water plant is used to improve waste-water recovery rates.
Sourcing sustainable paper dmg media takes a collaborative approach to tackling environmental issues that relate to printing.
As industry experts, we have talent who work alongside other industry peers via the Newspaper Industry Materials Committee to maintain a co-ordinated approach to environmental campaigns and questions.
We’ve supported the publication of various studies including fact and myth-busting publications about the true impact of print and paper, as well as how virgin fibres from sustainably managed forests are needed to maintain the paper cycle.
An increased focus on climate change and ESG could attract large potential competitors to enter the environmental part of the property information market.
For example, analysis of the impact of increased flood risk on lenders’ portfolios.
RMS’s models are likely to help enable the development of climate change hedging instruments and cost benefit analysis of climate adaptation, which will help close climate-related protection gaps.
Cloud-based solutions offer an elastic environment where there is much less redundant capacity and usage can be optimised.
As customers aim to reduce their carbon footprint, they are likely to accelerate the move away from on-premise and towards cloud-based solutions, which should help drive the shift to RMS’s Risk Intelligence platform.
Exhibitor and delegate concerns about the environmental impact of travelling to exhibitions could potentially result in reduced attendance levels.
Consequently, physical exhibitions can be considered an effective method of reducing environmental impact relative to suppliers flying to visit their customers separately.
Environmental concerns could potentially result in reduced revenues from exhibitors.
Also, there is a potential reputational risk for the exhibition industry as a whole if large exhibitions are considered to have a major negative environmental impact, rather than an effective way of suppliers reducing their total travel.
Energy exhibitions that are focused on oil and gas are likely to become less relevant and significant if they do not evolve.
In the long term, environmental concerns may drive reduced birth rates and, ultimately, less demand for the construction of new buildings, which could be detrimental to the construction sector.
This is considered to be a lower risk in Africa where population growth is expected to continue as environmental concerns are offset by improving healthcare.
This is particularly relevant for the energy sector but also the construction sector.
In the oil and gas sector, there are specific opportunities in the short-term as the industry pivots away from oil and gas.
For example, increased interest in liquefied natural gas in the short-term and renewables in the longer term.
Similarly, there will be opportunities to launch new events that are relevant to nascent markets – for example, as forms of renewable energy evolve.
In the long term, if there are technological advances to reduce the environmental impact of travelling and these also result in faster travel, then attendance at major international exhibitions may increase as they become easier to reach.
There is a risk that public opinion will change and it will become socially unacceptable to read physical newspapers due to the carbon footprint from their production and distribution.
We have various company-generated initiatives to protect and restore the environment.
Daily Mail The Daily Mail launched a campaign urging readers to plant up to a million trees across the UK in December Angel’.
A range of activities to support the campaign included expert editorial advice on how to plant and grow trees to make Britain greener, local tree-planting initiatives and donations to fund planting projects.
Readers were offered vouchers to pick up a free tree to plant in their garden, and those who had nowhere to plant a tree pledged money to fund tree-planting.
More than the newspaper to plant and the campaign raised enough funding to plant trees in more than 6,000 schools, massively exceeding its target of 1,000.
The Green Report Published in July produced by dmg media’s advertising division, studies the thoughts and attitudes of the Mail Metro Media audience towards environmental issues.
As part of its commitment to sustainability, dmg media Ireland has ensured that the supply chain of newspapers has become more efficient in reducing carbon footprint, by diverting newsprint away from landfill.
