Explore practical aspects of sustainability, including new tools and financial models that can lead to reduced costs and help your company become more environmentally friendly.Sustainability is being implemented across the publishing supply chain both through voluntary action and also through legislation. Everyone wants to reduce waste and become more sustainable, but good intentions are often blunted by “paralysis through analysis.” Measuring carbon emissions, implementing sustainability strategies, and making practical changes can also be very costly and even overwhelming.
This session will provide clarity on what is financially at stake for publishers in the realm of sustainability. We will visualize this through a discussion of a new Sustainability Financial Model for publishers; and by highlighting the financial impact of practical tools publishers can use to address margin risk.
You will explore various practical aspects of publishing sustainability, including:
- Offset vs digital printing and at what print run sizes is one preferred over the other for carbon emissions.
- The differences in production across the globe e.g US, China, EU.
- What is the digital footprint of your products (e.g., journals and ebooks) and how you can measure it
- What type of paper should you source, including the difference between virgin paper and recycled
- General production efficiency across the supply-chain, and more!
Our goal is that these tools and models will give you clarity to see what's at stake and what's available to you to protect or expand your margins, modeling out the industry challenges while providing concrete, actionable steps to meet them.
