To help address key sustainability questions, HP has assembled a panel of experts for an Eco Leadership Forum at Drupa. Show attendees will have the chance to attend each hour-long panel discussion and participate in debates, which will take place at the HP tent outside Hall 4.
The schedule comprises two sessions examining how the printing industry can develop a common understanding of what sustainability means, as well as considering how environmental performance can be improved across the industry:
- Sharing knowledge across the supply chain; Saturday 5 May, 3.45pm
- Improving environmental performance; Tuesday 8 May, 3.45pm
The sessions will be moderated by Stephen Goddard, Environmental Leadership Programme manager HP GSB. The panel will include: Laurel Brunner, Verdigris; Frazer Chesterman, EcoPrint; Marci Kinter, SGIA and Sustainable Green Printing Partnership; Matthias Hausmann, CEWE Color (5 May only); Richard Owers, Pureprint (8 May only).
"Sustainability is becoming increasingly critical to the future success of printing businesses around the world, and even to the future of the printing industry itself," said Goddard.
"An important aspect of the Eco Leadership Forum events will be to look at how knowledge can be best shared across the supply chain to help align the industry behind common objectives.
"The need to build a more sustainable future for the printing industry remains a significant challenge and print service providers are at the sharp end of this challenge. As such, we encourage anyone wishing to hear what the experts have to say - as well as have their own voice heard - to sign up for what we anticipate to be a thoroughly lively and informative event," he continued.
