Sustainable Green Printing Partnership

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) is a certification program for printing and packaging manufacturers that want to demonstrate a verified commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. SGP sets the standards for what responsible operation looks like in the printing industry — covering everything from material sourcing and waste reduction to workplace health and safety — and certifies companies that meet those standards.

The certification is designed for printers and packaging manufacturers operating in the US, Canada, and Australia who want to improve their sustainability performance and signal that credibility to their customers. Certified companies gain recognition from global brands that actively look for SGP-certified suppliers when making procurement decisions, making certification a potential competitive differentiator in the supply chain.

Beyond the credential itself, SGP functions as a community of manufacturers, brands, and supporting organizations working toward a more accountable industry. Members are expected to pursue continuous improvement, not just meet a one-time checklist, making this program suited to companies serious about long-term operational change rather than surface-level environmental claims.
