KBH Goes Green to Help Combat Climate Change

KBH, the transport media specialist, is preparing for a green future with a new initiative aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. The company is concentrating intitially on making its traincard advertising operations more environmentally-friendly.

KBH is in advanced discussions with its suppliers to print onto recycled paper stock which conforms with the fire-retardant standards demanded by Train Operating Companies (TOCs). This will potentially allow it to recycle up to 88,000 traincards each month

Ian Reynolds, KBH’s Managing Director says, "We’re getting busier and busier - some weeks we are producing up to 20,000 advertising panels which keeps us on our toes! That’s great news for KBH but at the same time we’re conscious of our impact on the environment."

This is the first in a series of environmental moves for KBH. The company will also be conducting a comprehensive energy survey to identify further steps it can take and determining which off-setting measures to support.

KBH’s staff are also committed to improving sustainability in the company's day-to-day operations. This includes measures such as taking public transport to meetings, monitoring energy consumption by turning off electrical equipment when not in use, recycling wherever possible and influencing suppliers to adhere to the same high standards.

Reynolds says, "Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing us all and I feel that, as a responsible company, it is our duty to do everything we can to ensure that our environmental footprint is as small as possible."
