Successful 2009 NEHS Event Closes
Sustainability Issues Streamline Annual Conference

The 2009 National Environmental, Health & Safety Conference (NEHS) (Indianapolis, Indiana; March 16-18), brought together graphic communication professionals from around the country to discuss sustainability and other safety issues affecting printing companies across all platforms.

The conference, themed "Printing for a Sustainable Future," offered invaluable opportunities for printers to learn how to be environmentally conscious. Attendees heard from the Honorable Robert C. Tapella, the nation's 25th Public Printer, who discussed sustainability strategies to reduce overall environmental impact and why it's important to embrace the "greener" movement.

Highlights also included:

•	A customer panel with representatives from Kimberly-Clark and Callahan Creek at Toyota Motor Sales discussing responsible sourcing within their supply chain.
•	Interactive workshops that explored ways to organize business operations while focusing on environmental, safety and sustainability efforts.
•	A review of the State of Sustainability in Graphic Communications: 2009 survey report by Bill Esler of Graphic Arts Monthly.
•	SGP Partnership Program update with a dynamic panel of SGP Certified Printers, including Pratt Corporation, Fineline Printing and Global Packaging.

"The NEHS conference provides printers of all stages the opportunity to network with their peers, take home new ideas to implement, and receive up to the minute information on safety, environmental and human resources issues that directly impact all operations," remarked Marci Kinter, SGIA's Vice President of Government & Business Information.
