Prinovis, the gravure venture jointly established by Arvato, Gruner + Jahr and Axel Springer AG, uses state-of-the-art processes to protect the environment – modeled on the clean example set by Prinovis Itzehoe (formerly Gruner Druck). In 2000, Gruner Druck became Germany’s first printing plant to introduce an integrated quality and environmental management program, the same one now being implemented at the company’s Dresden plant. Quality and environmental reviews for compliance with the international norms ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are continually performed at Prinovis.
Building on earlier efforts in 2004, the process-oriented management system developed by Prinovis Itzehoe resulted in a further optimization of wastewater pre-treatment and additional energy savings. All Prinovis locations have longstanding, proven and repeatedly revalidated environmental management systems. Prinovis’ new plant in Liverpool is working towards ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management. Prinovis also recently passed a group-wide Environment and Quality Policy.
