Certified Carbon Balanced Printer

In 2023, Hudson Printing became a certified “Carbon Balanced Printer.”  We’re the first in North America to achieve this certification in conjunction with Carbon Balanced Paper North America, the Sustainable Paper Group, and the World Land Trust. 
The World Land Trust is an international conservation organization which works to protect the world’s most biodiverse and important lands, having the additional benefit of carbon sequestration. We believe this to be the most credible and impactful way to maximize the benefit of our carbon offsetting commitment. We’ve measured our carbon footprint and are working to reduce it. For carbon that we can’t immediately eliminate, we’ll offset via the conservation efforts of the World Land Trust. Hudson Printing is the first printer in North America’s to achieve the “Carbon Balanced Printer” certification by the World Land Trust. Printing with Hudson Printing or Sustainable Mail helps protect the most ecologically valuable land around the world. We believe that supporting the World Land Trust is the most impactful way to balance carbon emissions.
