We are known as the UK stockist merchant for UPM Fine products, it was a natural decision to Carbon Balance the range and further support the critical work of the World Land Trust.’

Marketing and sustainability director Danny Doogan said, ‘Offsetting is becoming a feature of everyday life, and more of us are recognising it as a necessary process in the fight against climate change. Carbon Balanced Paper has integrity that has importance to those who both produce and consume printed media and, when used in conjunction with well known environmental products such as UPM Fine, makes for a highly sustainable graphical paper solution.’
