CarbonQuota has recognised Soyang’s progress in reducing its operational emissions, with total market-based emissions down 3% year-on-year. Soyang Europe, a leading manufacturer and distributor of digitally printable wide-format and superwide-format media, surface coverings and print production hardware, has achieved Carbon Reduced Operation Certification from CarbonQuota for 2025. The certification recognises businesses that demonstrate measurable reductions in the environmental impact of their operations. CarbonQuota assesses emissions associated with areas including buildings, company vehicles and employees, providing a benchmark against which businesses can monitor their performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
In its assessment, CarbonQuota highlighted several improvements that contributed to Soyang securing the certification. These included a 3% year-on-year reduction in the company’s total market-based emissions. Soyang also reduced its carbon intensity per full-time employee by 9%, with emissions falling from 10.61 to 9.64 tonnes of CO₂e per employee compared with the previous year. The results reflect Soyang’s continued investment in more sustainable operations. Previous initiatives include the introduction of electric company cars and forklift trucks, solar energy generation, LED warehouse lighting and lower-emission transport. The company has also improved container loading efficiency to reduce the carbon impact of deliveries. Alongside these operational improvements, Soyang continues to expand its range of more sustainable materials. These include products manufactured using recycled content and materials developed to provide lower-impact alternatives to conventional wide-format print media.
