Vega Press is proud to announce, in our 50th anniversary year, that we have been awarded top honours at the prestigious 2010 Premier’s Sustainability Awards. Vega were winners of both the Small Business Category and the coveted Premier's Recognition Award. The Premier, John Brumby, said Vega Press showed a significant decrease in their water use and waste.
“Vega Press demonstrated a strong dedication to working with its suppliers and contractors to maintain a green supply chain that includes using paper sourced from sustainable forests and eco-friendly inks, and increasing the volume of material recycled,” Mr Brumby said.
Vega has worked hard to demonstrate its commitment to environmental sustainability not only in the printing industry but also within the small business community. This could not have been achieved without full support and commitment from Vega’s Managing Director, Peter Gude, who has personally been involved in the business 45 of the 50 years in operation.
The winners were announced in an awards ceremony at the six-star green-rated Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 22 April 2010.
