Our vision on Sustainable Printing
At Helloprint, we believe it is our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment and embrace new ways of doing business. While we cannot solve all of the world’s challenges alone, we can do our part to improve the environmental footprint of our industry. Our vision on sustainability is reflected in our sustainability journey, which is leading in the choices that we’re making.
Our Commitment to Make an Impact
At Helloprint, we think it’s crucial to take into consideration the environmental impact of our products. This is particularly important since a significant amount of advertising, promotional, and giveaway materials are produced in large quantities for distribution and are typically designed for single-use. Choosing the right materials is the biggest challenge but also the biggest opportunity to make a real impact on the environment and society.
B Corp: Leading the Sustainability Transformation
We are proud to announce that we are officially B Corp Certified, a designation that is given to businesses that meet high standards of verified performance, legal accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits, to environmental performance, supply chain practices and materials used.
We recognise that Helloprint’s transition to the most sustainable marketplace for customised printed products worldwide is not going to happen overnight. We consider this certification as our first step towards our vision to create a sustainable future for our customers, communities and suppliers.

Our Sustainable Product Range 🌱
Our commitment to sustainability was showcased magnificently at our INSPIRE festival. Utilising our eco-friendly product range, the event not only succeeded but also highlighted our dedication to the planet. This approach not only enhanced the festival experience but also strengthened our brand’s promise to sustainability. Every detail, crafted with care, demonstrated that you can achieve great things without compromising on environmental values.
Our Impact Report
We recognize our responsibility to reduce the environmental impact of the products we sell and minimize the emissions related to our supply chain network. This commitment is why we aspire to be Net Zero by 2030 and aim for more than 90% of our sales to be produced by suppliers who meet high sustainable standards. Our latest Sustainability Report 2023 showcases our ongoing efforts, progress, and areas where we need to intensify our actions. Read our 2023 Impact Report here.
Helloprint's mission
We understand the impact of our industry. Given the large volume of single-use promotional materials, it is crucial to transition to sustainable alternatives. It is our mission to work closely together with our partners on an offering that reduces the environmental impact and contribute to a positive future for generations to come.
Our business model: Produce locally, Shop globally
When starting our marketplace back in 2013, we reinvented ordering print by making it as easy as buying a book or shoes online. Abdicating the ownership of production locations, we created a network of manufacturers around the globe, revolutionising the industry by making ordering customised products user-friendly.
Our large network of suppliers in key locations allows us to produce and ship much closer to our customers and reduce our CO2 emissions significantly compared to traditional business models.

Our Green Claim Standards
In accordance with the EU Green Claim Directive, which clearly states that claims about environmental and social benefits must be transparent, verifiable, and based on scientific evidence, we decided to introduce Helloprint's Green Claim Standards. We evaluate our assortment based on reduced environmental impact, the absence of harmful substances, the end-of-life potential and third-party certification and/or verification compared to conventional products.
