Quad/Graphics Becomes First Major Commercial Printer to Achieve LEED Certification

Quad/Graphics’ Sussex plant is the first of 10 manufacturing sites the printer plans to certify. It intends to be the first printer of its kind to have all its major manufacturing sites designated as green buildings.

Quad/Graphics recently made headlines by donating a conservation easement on Camp/Quad, its 325-acre recreational facility in Erin, Wis. to Tall Pines Conservancy, a non-profit land trust dedicated to preserving natural areas in and adjoining Northwestern Waukesha County. The company also recently has been recognized by print industry news portal WhatTheyThink.com with an Environmental Innovation Award and has earned an Outstanding Achievement in Recycling Award from the Associated Recyclers of Wisconsin (AROW).
