CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At Paperpunch we are committed to integrating responsible and sustainable business practices
across our operations. This year, to continue our sustainability journey, and increase the scope of our commitment to the environment and social responsibility, we’ve partnered with Office Friendly and Carbon Smart by joining the Weaver Social Sustainability Programme. We will be focusing our efforts on the following 5 core areas of sustainability:

Waste Management: Reducing, reusing, recovering and recycling business and operational waste by taking direct action and making changes within our supply chain. Our goal is to achieve zero waste going to landfill by 2026.

Sustainable Products: Improving the sustainability of our overall supply chain by introducing more sustainable products into our offering.

Social Responsibility: Creating a positive social impact for our employees and our wider community through engagement and action.

Carbon Footprint: We must consciously take action to reduce our carbon emissions. We will achieve this by regularly monitoring carbon reports and making changes to improve these reports.

Single Use Packaging: Our goal is to actively reduce its single-use packaging, accounting for in-office items, product distribution packaging, and packaging from suppliers.

Proud to Support Ballymun’s Under-16 Football Team

At Paperpunch, we know that local sports clubs are at the heart of strong communities. That’s why we were proud to sponsor new uniforms for the Ballymun Under-16 football team. For these young players, football isn’t just a game – it’s about friendship, belonging, and believing in themselves. We’re delighted to play a small part in supporting their journey, helping them wear their colours with pride, and backing the spirit of Ballymun both on and off the pitch.

Coming Together for a Cause: Our Big Pink Breakfast

At Paperpunch, we believe small actions can make a big difference. That’s why we hosted a Big Pink Breakfast to raise awareness and show our support for those affected by breast cancer. It was more than just sharing a meal, it was about starting conversations, showing solidarity, and contributing to a cause that touches so many lives. Together, we can help spread hope and make a real impact.

Edit Office Tackles Climate Change - Supported by Paperpunch

At Paperpunch, we’re proud to work with suppliers who share our values. That’s why we’re delighted to support Edit Office in their exciting partnership with the Global Climate Institute. For every desk purchased, Edit funds the planting of a tree in Tanzania. These trees are distributed to individuals, families, and community groups including churches, schools, and clinics, providing vital resources like fruit, firewood, fencing, animal feed, and even medicinal benefits. Together, we’re helping tackle climate change while supporting communities in need.

Committed to the Circular Economy

For us, sustainability is more than a promise - it’s built into our products. Our printed paper is 100% recyclable, while our boxes are made from 100% recycled fibres and, along with all other packaging elements, are fully recyclable. Even our ream wrappers are printed on recyclable and biodegradable paper, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. All our packaging complies with EU Directive 94/62/CE on packaging and packaging waste, as well as the EU essential requirements EN 13427 to EN 13432. By responsibly recycling all paper and packaging waste, together we can close the loop and make a meaningful contribution to the circular economy.
