About the Event
Green BIC Brunch Session: Green Book Supply Chain 101
Kindly Sponsored by Publishing Scotland
Introduction
Increasingly, global book industry standards – such as ONIX and Thema – are being adopted worldwide with a view to bettering international communications, discoverability, and increasing sales. But what does this all mean for the book industry’s supply chain? What is the scale of our industry’s carbon footprint and its consumption of plastic? How can your organisation increase its sustainability whilst reducing its overall environmental impact? And what does the future hold? This online Green BIC Brunch will explore these questions, and will explore a number of key concerns highlighted in the results of a recent Publishing Scotland survey as follows: - Shipping and distribution - Waste and packaging (including plastics) - Production – printing, inks, materials.
Who should attend?
This Green BIC Brunch will be of interest to all publishers, booksellers, distributors, freight forwarders, production teams, data…
