SGP Certifies Rose City Label

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP; Sayville, NY) announced that Rose City Label Company of Portland, OR has achieved SGP certification.

“SGP certification was a natural progression for Rose City Label,” said Scott Pillsbury, president. “Since our initial local county certification in 2009, we have been focused on our sustainability. Along with people and profits, we recognize that being a good environmental citizen is not only good for business, but also is the right thing to do… We have been sharing our results with our full team each quarter for over 5 years now and people are excited to see that we have cut our water usage by 47 percent since 2013. These results help us attract and retain both customers and team members. This is a big competitive advantage for us, and we are proud of this success.”

Lighting upgrades are in the works for Rose City Label, and they will continue to focus on waste reduction.
