Brook + Whittle Facility in Amherst, NY Earns SGP Certification

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) is proud to announce that Brook + Whittle, a manufacturer of pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging, and heat transfer labels, has completed the rigorous process required to receive an SGP certification for their Amherst, NY facility.

“We are thrilled to certify Brook + Whittle’s Amherst, NY facility, marking a significant step forward in our shared commitment to sustainable printing practices,” said SGP Board Chair Theresa Vanna. “Their dedication to environmental stewardship and innovative solutions sets a high standard for the industry. We look forward to working with the Brook + Whittle team as they work towards additional certifications for their facilities across the country.”

Earning and keeping an SGP certification speaks to Brook + Whittle’s strong belief in creating a more sustainable future. SGP certification requires that facilities adopt a rigorous sustainability plan that documents Environmental, Safety and Health, and Energy baselines for renewable activities and requires continual improvement in them – including an audit every two years to retain its certification.

“We are delighted that our Amherst, NY site has achieved SGP certification,” said Brook + Whittle Director of Sustainability Tyler Matusevich. “This significant milestone underscores our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. We are actively working towards certifying more of our sites, ensuring that our dedication to sustainability extends across our entire operation.”
