<strong>Promega</strong> Corporate Responsibility <strong>Report</strong> 2012<br />
Paper Usage. Thanks to the adoption of emerging media channels we have enhanced<br />
communication with our customers and reduced the need for printed materials by using<br />
electronic documents. Other electronic media including iPhone ® /iPad ® and Android <br />
applications, blogs, electronic catalogs, online support, and social media have also<br />
improved communication efficiency with our customers.<br />
In 2008, aggressive commitments were made to move away from printing. With significant<br />
efforts and investment <strong>Promega</strong> transitioned from mostly paper catalogs, instruction<br />
manuals, print marketing, and corporate communications to electronic formats. Since<br />
2008 paper usage has decreased 78% (Figure 11).<br />

Some additional efforts to reduce paper and impacts from paper use include:<br />
• Using Recycled Paper and Duplex Printing. Many global locations have transitioned<br />
to use recycled paper and duplex printing. These efforts provide value to the environment<br />
by reducing air emissions, combating deforestation, and limiting waste.<br />
